Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2024 / Notices 80591 

Data collection activities planned to 

be carried out as part of the evaluation 

include: (1) collecting HUD 

administrative data, (2) a national web 

survey of 611 PHAs administering the 

EHV program and 371 referring partner 

Continuums of Care (CoCs), and (3) 

telephone/virtual interviews with staff 

from a selected sample of communities, 

including PHAs, CoCs, and other PHA 

partner organizations. The evaluation 

will use a mixed-methods approach 

with administrative data and web 

survey data to measure outcomes in key 

interest areas. The follow-up telephone 

interviews will collect information on 

the experiences of program staff in 

implementing the EHV program. 

In total, HUD plans to conduct a web 

survey of 611 PHAs, a web survey of 

371 CoCs, and 50 telephone/virtual 

interviews (comprised of interviews 

with 25 PHAs and 25 CoCs/partner 

organizations). 

HUD will provide reasonable 

accommodations. Respondents who are 

blind or have vision-related disabilities, 

deaf or hard of hearing, as well as 

individuals with speech or 

communication disabilities can elect to 

participate through a web-based version 

of the data collection or through a 

telephone-based version of the data 

collection. HUD welcomes and is 

prepared to receive calls from 

individuals who are deaf or hard of 

hearing, as well as individuals with 

speech or communication disabilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Public 

Housing Agency (PHA) Lease and 

Grievance Requirements. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0006. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with 

change, of previously approved 

collection for which approval has 

expired. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Public Housing (PH) dwelling lease and 

grievance procedures are required by 

the United States Housing Act of 1937, 

specifically under Sections 6(k) and 6(l). 

These sections outline requirements 

such as establishing administrative 

grievance procedures for Public Housing 

Agencies (PHAs), utilizing leases with a 

12-month term automatically renewed 

except for specific noncompliance 

instances, and specifying lease 

provisions for families paying the 

alternative non-public housing rent 

(alternative rent). Detailed regulations 

can be found in 24 CFR part 966— 

Public Housing Lease and Grievance 

Procedure, Subpart A—Dwelling Leases, 

Procedures, and Subpart B—Grievance 

Procedures and Requirements. Upon 

renting and receiving rental housing 

assistance, residents must sign a lease 

and acknowledge the grievance 

procedures, as outlined by the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD). PHAs are 

responsible for maintaining records and 

following these procedures, ensuring 

consistency with HUD’s legal and 

administrative obligations. 

The implementation of the Housing 

Opportunity Through Modernization 

Act of 2016 (HOTMA) created new lease 

requirements in both section 24 CFR 

960.507 and 24 CFR 960.509 and made 

modifications to section 24 CFR 966.4 

(a)(2)(iii). PHAs must now modify the 

PH lease to become month-to-month in 

the period before termination of an overincome family and 24 CFR 960.509 

explains the new lease requirements for 

Non-Public Housing Over-Income 

(NPHOI) families. 24 CFR 960.509 

stipulates that over-income families 

permitted to continue as tenants must 

pay the alternative rent and sign the 

lease for NPHOI families no later than 

either the next lease renewal or 60 days 

after receiving the third notification 

outlined in 24 CFR 960.507(c)(3), 

whichever comes first. HUD specifies 

various provisions required in leases for 

NPHOI families, including details about 

lease parties, duration, covered costs, 

renewal or termination procedures, 

tenant rent and potential charges, usage 

rights, PHA and tenant responsibilities, 

repair and access obligations, lease 

termination processes, grievance 

procedures, and modification protocols. 

Members of affected public: Public 

Housing leaseholders. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

809,425. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

1,133,195. 

Frequency of Response: 1.4. 

Average Hours per Response: .5. 

Total Estimated Burdens: 566,598.

* Calculation: 809,425 households (as of 7/22/2024 per the Public Housing Data Dashboard) × 1.4 median number of new and interim leases + 

changes + grievances (formal and informal) × 30 minutes (.5 of an hour) median time to complete = 566,598 total hours. (https://www.hud.gov/ 

program_offices/public_indian_housing/programs/ph/PH_Dashboard) 

** Calculation: 566,598, total hours × $22.27 per hour = $12,618,137. The hourly rate assumes that the national average for housing authority 

staff responsible for preparing leases earn the equivalent of the 2024 GS Grade 8 Step 1 (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/ 

salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2024/GS_h.pdf). 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the
