SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Program--Transfer 
and Consolidation of Public Housing Programs.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0280.
    Type of Request: Extension of a previously approved collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: State 
legislatures or other local governing bodies may from time to time 
direct or agree that the public interest is best served if one public 
housing agency (PHA) cedes its public housing program to another PHA, 
or that two or more PHAs should be combined into one 
multijurisdictional PHA. This proposed information collection serves to 
protect the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) 
several interests in either transaction: (1) insuring the continued 
used of the property as public housing; (2) that HUD's interests are 
secured; and (3) that the operating and capital subsidies that HUD pays 
to support the operation and maintenance of public housing is properly 
paid to the correct PHA on behalf of the correct properties. In 
addition to submitting documentation to HUD, PHAs are required to make 
conforming changes to HUD's Public Housing Information Center (PIC).
    Total Estimated Burdens:
