SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on September 18, 

2024 at 89 FR 76498. 

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: 

Requirements for Designating Housing 

Projects. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0192. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

information collection burden 

associated with designated housing is 

required by statute. Section 10 of the 

Housing Opportunity and Extension Act 

of 1996 modified Section 7 of the U.S. 

Housing Act of 1937 to require Public 

Housing Agencies (PHAs) to submit a 

plan for HUD approval before a 

project(s) can be designated as either 

elderly only, disabled only, or elderly 

and disabled. In this plan, PHAs must 

document why the designation is 

needed and provide the following 

information: 

1. Description of the designated 

housing plan; 

2. Justification for the designation; 

3. Availability of alternative housing 

resources for the non-designated 

population(s); 

4. Impact on the availability of 

accessible housing; 

5. A statement that existing tenants in 

good standing will not be evicted; 

6. A statement of the resources that 

will be made available if the PHA offers 

voluntary relocation benefits; and 

7. Information describing how the 

DHP is consistent with any outstanding 

court orders, lawsuits, investigations, 

Voluntary Compliance Agreements 

(VCAs), Conciliation Agreements, or 

Letters of Findings or Determinations, 

etc., including for example, actions 

under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, 

the Age Discrimination Act, the Fair 

Housing Act, or the Americans with 

Disabilities Act. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): 

State, or Local Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 21 

for New and Amendment DHPs and 22 

for DHP Renewals. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 1 

per request. 

Frequency of Response: As needed for 

New/Amendment DHPs and every two 

years for renewals. 

Average Hours per Response: 15 

hours for New and Amendment DHPs 

and 3 hours for DHP Renewals. 

Total Estimated Burdens: 315 hours 

for New and Amendment DHPs and 66 

for DHP Renewals. 

The previous estimation of 270 

annual burden hours has been increased 

to 315 for New and Amendment DHPs 

and 66 for DHP Renewals. This change 

is based on the average number of Plans 

submitted between Calendar Years 2022 

and 2023. In FY22 and FY23, several 

Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) 

failed to renew their DHP in a timely 

manner, leading to a slight uptick in the 

number of respondents, as these PHAs 

were required to submit new plans for 

approval. Furthermore, HUD anticipates 

a continued decline in the number of 

respondents due to the ongoing trend in 

PHAs repositioning their developments 

and exiting the public housing program. 

The national average PHA staff salary 

= $64,590 1 per year or $31.00 per hour. 

The calculation for costs is as follows: 

• New and Amendment DHPs: 21 

PHAs × 15 hours = 315 hours × $31 2 = 

$9,765. 

• DHP Renewals: 22 PHAs × 3 hours 

= 66 hours × $31 = $2,046.
