Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 190 / Friday, October 2, 2009 / Notices 50983 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 27, 2009 at 74 FR 4832, 

processing entities that administer the 

Public Housing, Section 8 Housing 

Choice Voucher, Moderate 

Rehabilitation programs are required to 

use HUD’s Enterprise Income 

Verification (EIV) system to verify 

employment and income information of 

program participants and to reduce 

administrative and subsidy payment 

errors. The EIV system is a system of 

records owned by HUD, as published in 

the Federal Register on July 20, 2005 at 

70 FR 41780 and updated on August 8, 

2006 at 71 FR 45066. 

The Department seeks to identify 

families who no longer participate in a 

HUD rental assistance program due to 

adverse termination of tenancy and/or 

assistance, and owe a debt to a Public 

Housing Agency (PHA). In accordance 

with 24 CFR 982.552 and 960.203, the 

PHA may deny admission to a program 

if the family is not suitable for tenancy 

for such reasons (but not limited to): 

unacceptable past performance in 

meeting financial obligations, history of 

criminal activity, eviction from 

Federally assisted housing in the last 

five years, family has committed fraud, 

bribery, or any other corrupt or criminal 

act in connection with a Federal 

housing program, or if a family 

currently owes rent or other amounts to 

the PHA or to another PHA in 

connection with a Federally assisted 

housing program under the U.S. 

Housing Act of 1937. 

Within the scope of this new 

collection of information, HUD seeks to 

collect from all PHAs, the following 

information: 

1. Amount of debt owed by a former 

tenant to a PHA; 

2. If applicable, indication of executed 

repayment agreement; 

3. If applicable, indication of 

bankruptcy filing; 

4. If applicable, the reason for any 

adverse termination of the family from 

a Federally assisted housing program. 

This information will be collected 

electronically from PHAs via HUD’s EIV 

system. This information will be used 

by HUD to create a national repository 

of families that owe a debt to a PHA 

and/or have been terminated from a 

Federally assisted housing program. 

This national repository will be 

available within the EIV system for all 

PHAs to access during the time of 

application for rental assistance. PHAs 

will be able to access this information 

to determine a family’s suitability for 

rental assistance, and avoid providing 

limited Federal housing assistance to 

families who have previously been 

unable to comply with HUD program 

requirements. If this information is not 

collected, the Department is at risk of 

paying limited Federal dollars on behalf 

of families who may not be eligible to 

receive rental housing assistance. 

Furthermore, if this information is not 

collected, the public will perceive that 

there are no consequences for a family’s 

failure to comply with HUD program 

requirements. 

Agency Form Numbers: N/A. 

Members of Affected Public: State or

Agencies (PHAs), Individuals or

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of
