information: 

Title of Proposal: 5-Year and Annual 

Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan 

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 

2577–0226. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: Section 

2702 of Title VII—Small Public Housing 

Authorities Paperwork Reduction Act, 

of the Housing and Economic Recovery 

Act (HERA) of 2008 amends section 

5A(b) of the 1937 Act by establishing 

‘‘qualified public housing agencies’’, a 

category of PHAs with less than 550 

public housing units and tenant-based 

vouchers combined that are provided 

substantial paperwork relief, primarily 

with respect to the PHA Annual Plan 

requirements in section 5(A)(b) of the 

United States Housing Act of 1937. The 

paperwork relief exempts qualified 

PHAs from the requirement to prepare 

and submit an annual PHA plan to HUD 

for review. This Act impacts 

approximately sixty-eight percent, or 

2,802 of the 4,114 PHAs that are 

required to submit Annual and 5-Year 

PHA Plans. This information collection 

revises previously OMB approved forms 

HUD–50077 and HUD–50075, and adds 

Civil Rights certification (form HUD– 

50077–CR) formerly appearing on form 

HUD–50077 as a separate document. 

The form HUD–50075 deletes category 

for ‘‘HCV only PHAs’’ and adds 

categories for ‘‘Qualified PHAs,’’ ‘‘NonQualified PHAs’’ and ‘‘Troubled PHAs’’ 

in Section 1.0 containing PHA 

Information; adds a new section to 

describe activities for implementing the 

Violence Against Women Act (Section 

5.3); incorporates a table identifying all 

Annual PHA Plan elements (Section 

6.0); adds a new Section 6.1 for 

Admissions Policy for the 

Deconcentration of Lower-Income 

Families; adds a new requirement 

(Section 6.9(c)) under Additional 

Information for Troubled and Standard 

PHAs to include or reference any 

applicable memorandum of agreement 

with HUD or any plan to improve 

performance and any other information 

required by HUD; revises the list of 

Required Documents to add forms 

HUD–50077–CR, HUD–50077–SL, and 

Admissions Policy for Deconcentration 

of Lower-Income Families, lists 

separately the required PHA Plan 

attachments for Qualified and NonQualified PHAs (Section 7.0); minor 

edits to the Instructions page of form 

HUD–50075, including a new 

requirement under the component for 

Operation and Management to update 

PHA Plans where PHAs have opted to 

implement non-smoking policies in 

public housing; and renumbers other 

sections of the form. The currently 

proposed form HUD–50075 will be used 

by all PHAs—high performing, 

standard, troubled, non-qualified, and 

qualified, who will only complete the 5- 

Year Plan information, sections 5.0 

through 5.3—the mission, goals and 

objectives of the PHA and the goals, 

objectives, policies, or programs for 

servicing victims of domestic violence, 

dating violence, sexual assault, or 

stalking and submit the template every 

5 years. Qualified PHAs no longer 

submit information on discretionary 

programs (demolition or disposition, 

HOPE VI, Project-based vouchers, 

required or voluntary conversion, 

homeownership, or capital 

improvements, etc.) as part of an 

Annual PHA Plan submission. However, 

Qualified PHAs that intend to 

implement these activities are still 

subject to the full application and 

approval processes that exist for 

demolition or disposition, designated 

housing, conversion, homeownership, 

and other special application processes 

that will no longer be tied to prior 

authorization in an Annual PHA Plan 

for a Qualified PHA. All PHAs, 

including the PHAs identified as 

Qualified PHAs under HERA, must 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 26, 2010 / Notices 29571 

continue to submit any demolition or 

disposition, public housing conversion, 

homeownership, or other special 

applications as applicable to HUD’s 

Special Applications Center (SAC) in 

Chicago for review and approval or to 

HUD Headquarters for CFFP proposals. 

Information on special applications can 

be found at the SAC Web site: http:// 

www.hud.gov/offices/pih/centers/sac/ 

about/overview.cfm. The following Web 

site at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/ 

programs/ph/capfund/index.cfm 

contains information on the Capital 

Fund Financing Program (CFFP), and 

Operating Fund Financing Program 

(OFFP). http://www.hud.gov/offices/ 

pih/programs/ph/am/. Qualified PHAs 

should, as a matter of good business 

practice, continue to keep their 

residents, the general public, and the 

local HUD office apprised of any plans 

to initiate these types of programs and 

activities. Revisions to form HUD– 

50077–CR deletes, ‘‘if there is no Board 

of Commissioner’’ from paragraph 1, line 

2. Qualified-only PHAs will complete 

proposed form HUD–50077–CR. To 

more accurately reflect the application 

requirements of PHAs for the Capital 

Fund Program, form HUD–50077 deletes 

item 3, ‘‘The PHA certifies that there has 

been no change, significant or 

otherwise, to the Capital Fund Program 

(and Capital Fund Program/ 

Replacement Housing Factor) Annual 

Statement(s), since submission of its last 

approved Annual Plan. The Capital 

Fund Program Annual Statement/ 

Annual Statement/Performance and 

Evaluation Report must be submitted 

annually even if there is no change.’’ 

and redesignates items (4), (5), (6), (7), 

(8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), 

(16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21), and (22), 

as (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), 

(12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), 

(20), and (21), respectively. NonQualified only PHAs are required to 

complete form HUD–50077. The PHA 

plan is a web-based submission process 

(allowing PHAs to retrieve the 

applicable templates) that allows PHAs 

to provide their plans to HUD via the 

Internet. The system allows HUD to 

track plans with limited reporting and 

any changes from the previous 

submission. 

Agency Form Numbers: HUD–50075; 

HUD–50075.1, HUD–50075.2, HUD– 

50077, HUD–50077–CR, HUD–50077– 

SL, HUD–50070. 

Members of the Affected Public: 

Local, Regional and State Body 

Corporate Politic Public Housing 

Agencies (PHAs) Governments. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: The estimated 

number of burden hours needed to 

prepare the information collection is 

111,005; estimated number of 

respondents is 4,114; the frequency of 

response for qualified PHAs is once 

every 5 years and when any interim 

changes in discretionary programs have 

been made and/or every year on a 

rolling 5-year basis. For example, PHAs 

Fiscal Year beginning (FYB) 2006, 

covers the PHA’s fiscal years 2007– 

2011. The next Five-Year Plan would be 

due for the PHA’s FYB 2011 and would 

cover fiscal years 2012–2016; the 

estimated time to prepare the response 

varies depending on the interim changes 

in discretionary programs; and, the 

average annual burden hours per PHA is 

5.4 hours. Consequently, this 

information collection reduces the total 

administrative burden hours 

accordingly and associated costs to 

approximately 68% (2,802 PHAs) of the 

total PHA inventory (4,114 PHAs). 

Status of the Proposed Information 

Collection: This is a revision of 

currently approved collection. The 

revision is necessary to implement 

paperwork relief to qualified PHAs, as 

provided in Section 2702 of Title VII— 

Small Public Housing Authorities 

Paperwork Reduction Act, of the 

Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 

2008. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
