SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

HUD’s Public Housing Assessment

System (PHAS) provides for the

assessment of the physical condition,

financial condition, management

operations and resident services and

satisfaction of public housing. HUD’s

regulations implementing the PHAS and

codified in 24 CFR part 902 provide for

this assessment to be made through

physical inspection of public housing

properties, survey of public housing

residents, and a PHA’s submission of

audited financial statements and its

certification to certain management data

as required by the regulations. HUD’s

PHAS regulations were amended by a

final rule published on January 11, 2000

(65 FR 1712) and a technical correction

was published on June 6, 2000 (65 FR

36042).

In a notice published on August 9,

2000 (65 FR 48730), HUD advised that

due to errors or difficulties in

submission of their management

operations certifications, certain PHAs

with fiscal years ended September 30,

1999, and December 31, 1999, did not

fully meet the requirements under the

PHAS Management Operations

Indicator. HUD therefore advised these

PHAs that they could submit or

resubmit the management operations

certification, as applicable, without

penalty during the time periods

outlined in Table 1 of the August 9,

2000, notice.

Additionally, in the August 9, 2000

notice, HUD advised that the audited

financial statements of certain PHAs

with a fiscal year ended September 30,

1999, were not all properly received and

processed. The August 9, 2000, notice

therefore provided these PHAs with

additional time to submit their audited

financial statements.

The majority of PHAs covered by the

August 9, 2000, notice successfully

completed submission or resubmission

of their management operations

certification or audited financial

statement. However, several PHAs

continued to experience difficulties.

This document provides notice that

HUD is providing the PHAs with fiscal

years ended September 30, 1999, and

December 31, 1999, as well as PHAs

with a fiscal year ending March 31,

2000, with additional time to make their

PHAS management operations

certification submissions. This

document also provides notice that

HUD is providing PHAs with fiscal

years ending September 30, 1999, and

December 31, 1999, with additional

time to make their audited financial

statement submissions.

Management operations certifications

must be submitted to REAC no later

than December 21, 2000.

Audited financial statements must be

submitted to REAC no later than

December 6, 2000.

Dated: November 14, 2000.

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian

Housing.
