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: 

Energy and Performance Information 

Center (EPIC). 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0274. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Numbers: N/A—all information 

collected electronically through the 

EPIC data system. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

EPIC data system automates the 

previous paper collection of the Fiveyear Plan and Annual Statement/ 

Budget/Performance and Evaluation 

(P&E) forms from grantees. These are 

required forms that were previously 

collected in hard copy on Forms HUD 

50075.1 and HUD 50075.2 under 

collection OMB control number 2577– 

0157. These forms collect data on the 

eventual, and actual use of funds. 

Electronic collection will enable the 

Department to aggregate information 

about the way grantees are using Federal 

funding. Tracking of the use of Federal 

funds paid through the Public Housing 

Capital Fund, the only Federal funding 

stream dedicated to the capital needs of 

the nation’s last resort housing option, 

is crucial to understanding how the 

Department can properly and efficiently 

assist grantees in meeting this goal as 

well as assessing the Department’s own 

progress. EPIC also automates the 

collection of signed documents required 

by 24 CFR 905 in order to gain access 

to funds awarded by HUD. These forms 

are covered under other PRAs. Finally, 

EPIC allows PHAs to request to use 

additional funding sources, such as

13306 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2022 / Notices 

Operating Funds, for capital fund 

eligible activities. 

The EPIC data system is equipped to 

collect Physical Needs Assessment 

(‘‘PNA’’) data, should this data be 

required in the future. This data being 

in the system coupled with the 

electronic planning process would 

streamline grantee planning. The EPIC 

data system is equipped to collect 

information about the Energy 

Performance Contract (‘‘EPC’’) process, 

including the energy efficiency 

improvements. As the Department 

moves to shrink its energy footprint in 

spite of rising energy costs, clear and 

comprehensive data on this process will 

be crucial to its success. The EPIC data 

system is equipped to track 

development of public housing with 

Federal funds and through other means, 

including mixed-finance development.

The follow are the specific revisions 

to the public burden by instrument: 

1. The projected labor burden was 

decreased for Core Activity due to 

grantees becoming familiar with 

navigating that aspect of the EPIC 

system and because submissions after 

the first reporting cycle for a grant will 

be an update to the initial submitted 

report and will require less labor to 

complete. This reduced hours from the 

collection 3,250 hours. 

2. P&E Reports are no longer required 

annually, reducing the number of 

responses and hours by 7,025. 

3. RHF data will no longer be 

collected as that program is being 

phased out of CFP, reducing the number 

of collection hours by 25. 

4. The Annual Statement/Budget total 

number of responses dropped by 100 

due to the total number of respondents 

being lowered. 

5. EPIC now collects copies of 

documents previously submitted on 

paper covered by CFP, Annual Plan and 

ACC PRA adding collection hours of 

2,800. 

6. EPIC has added a way for PHA to 

request to use additional capital 

resources via EPIC, increasing collection 

hours of 7.5.
