Technical Reviews and Database

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0257. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD–52306. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

collection of this information supports 

HUD’s ongoing mission to provide safe, 

decent and affordable housing to lower 

income households. Accurate 

assessment information is necessary. 

PHAs performing poorly may be subject 

to additional reporting requirements, 

may receive HUD assistance, and are 

subject to possible penalties. For the 

Office of Housing, accurate scores are 

vital to their monitoring and compliance 

efforts. Unacceptable property scores 

result in automatic penalties and 

referral for enforcement actions. 

Pursuant to § 6(j)(2)(A)(iii) of the 

United States Housing Act of 1937, as 

amended, HUD established procedures 

in the Public Housing Assessment 

System (PHAS) rule for a public housing 

agencies (PHAs) to appeal a troubled 

assessment designation (§ 902.69). The 

PHAS rule in §§ 902.24 and 902.68 also 

provides that under certain 

circumstances PHAs may submit a 

request for a database adjustment and 

technical review, respectively, of 

physical condition inspection results. 

Pursuant to the Office of Housing 

Physical Condition of Multifamily 

Properties regulation at § 200.857(d) and 

(e), multifamily property owners also 

have the right, under certain 

circumstances, to submit a request for a 

database adjustment and technical 

review, respectively, of physical 

condition inspection results. 

Appeals, when granted, change 

assessment scores and designations; 

database adjustments and technical 

reviews, when granted, change property 

scores. These changes result is more 

accurate assessments. 

Section 902.60 of the PHAS rule also 

provides that, in extenuating 

circumstances, PHAs may request an 

extension of time to submit required 

unaudited financial information. When 

granted, an extension of time postpones 

the imposition of sanctions for a late 

submission. 

Respondents (i.e., affected public): 

Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and 

Multifamily Housing property owners 

(MF POs).
