Evaluate whether to continue the 

quality of appeal that rendered the 

initial rent adjustment decision made to 

local HUD Office or Contract 

Administrator and Section appeals to 

HUD Director, who will designate to an

Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Procedure for 

Appealing Section 8 Rent Adjustments. 

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 

2502–0446. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD is 

charged with the responsibility of 

determining the method of rent 

adjustments and with facilitating these 

adjustments. Because rent adjustments 

are considered benefits to project 

owners, HUD must also provide some 

means for owners to appeal the 

decisions made by the Department or 

the Contract Administrator. This appeal 

process, and the information collection 

included as part of the process, play an 

important role in preventing costly 

litigation and in ensuring the accuracy 

of the overall rent adjustment process. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

Owners will submit rent appeal on 

owner’s letterhead providing a written 

explanation for the appeal. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: The number of 

burden hours is 1050. The number of 

respondents is 525 and the number of 

responses is 525, the frequency of 

response is on occasion, and the burden 

hour per response is 2. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: This is an extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

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

work actually performed by voucher 

administrators. The study will measure 

and identify the tasks performed by

requirements, to assist voucher holders

in a timely way, and to ensure that a 

broad range of affordable rental housing 

throughout the community is available 

to voucher families. The study will 

identify the costs involved in each task, 

including salaries, benefits, and 

overhead. Ultimately, the findings of the 

study will be used to inform the 

development of a new formula for

information from participants to
