This Notice is soliciting comments from 

members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning the proposed 

collection of information to: (1) Enhance 

the effectiveness of the Section 3 

Program, (2) Enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to

Notice of Submission of Proposed 

Information Collection to OMB 

Title of Proposal: Economic 

Opportunity for Low-and Very LowIncome Persons 

Office: Fair Housing and Equal 

Opportunity. 

OMB Control Number: 2529–0043. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: 

A. The Section 3 Summary Report (HUD 

form 60002) 

The information will be used by the 

Department to monitor program 

recipients for compliance with the 

requirements of Section 3 of the 

Housing and Urban Development Act of 

1968. HUD Headquarters will use the 

information to assess the results of each 

recipient’s efforts to meet the regulatory 

objectives of Section 3, and to prepare 

mandatory reports for Congress and the 

general public assessing the 

effectiveness of Section 3. The data 

collected will be used by recipients as 

a self-monitoring tool. The data 

collection for this form is unchanged. 

B. Complaint register (Revised HUD 

form 958) 

The information will be used by 

residents and businesses to submit 

complaints alleging noncompliance 

with the regulatory requirements of 

Section 3. HUD staff will use this form 

to respond to and investigate complaints 

filed. The data collection for this form 

has been revised to more accurately 

reflect the complaint investigation 

procedures set forth in the Section 3 

regulation at 24 CFR part 135. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

Form HUD 60002 and HUD 958 

Revised. 

Members of affected public: State and 

local governments agencies; public and 

private non-profit organizations; Public 

Housing Authorities; other public 

entities; low- and very low-income 

persons; and/or businesses that are 

either owned by, or substantially 

employ, low- or very low-income 

persons. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: On an annual basis 

approximately 5,000 respondents (HUD 

recipients) will submit form HUD 60002 

to HUD. It is estimated that four hours 

per annual reporting period will be 

required of the recipients to prepare the 

Section 3 report for a total of 20,000 

hours. Form HUD 958 is submitted by 

approximately 100 persons annually 

and takes approximately 2 hours to 

complete for a total of 200 hours. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Reinstatement of a currently 

approved collection of information from 

HUD recipients. Form HUD 60002 is 

unchanged. Form HUD 958 is submitted 

with changes. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.

Notice of Submission of Proposed 

Information Collection to OMB; 

Emergency Comment Request; 

Housing Choice Voucher Program 

Administrative Fee Study Notice of 

Proposed Information Collection for 

Public Comment 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information 

Officer, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: The proposed information 

collection requirement described below 

has been submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

emergency review and approval, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act. The Department is soliciting public 

comments on the subject proposal. 

This request is for the clearance of onsite data collection from public housing 

agencies (PHAs). The proposed data 

collection has three purposes: (1) To 

identify a sample of PHAs that are 

verified to be operating high-performing 

and efficient HCV programs, (2) to test 

alternative methods of measuring time 

spent on administrative functions in the 

HCV program, and (3) to collect 

information on the factors that affect 

administrative costs in the HCV 

program. The proposed data collection 

will take place through site visits to 60 

PHAs and will include interviews with 

PHA staff, interviews with program 

partners, and reviews of client files and 

administrative data collected by the 

PHA, included documentation related to 

the HCV program budget. In addition, at 

5 of the 60 sites the research team will 

beta-test three alternative methods of 

collecting data on PHA staff time spent 

on the range of activities required to 

administer the HCV program. The 

results of the site visits and beta-tests 

will be used to develop the research 

design, sampling approach, and data 

collection instruments for a national 

study of the costs of administering the 

HCV program based on direct 

measurement of staff and other program 

costs among a sample of highperforming HCV programs. The results 

of this national study—for which 

separate OMB clearance will be 

sought—will be used to estimate 

administrative fees and develop a new 

administrative fee allocation formula for 

the HCV program. 

DATES: Comments Due Date: January 27, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

this proposal. Comments must be
