    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Calculation of Tenant Rents at Title VI 
Preservation Projects--HUD-90012
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0489
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Department requests extension of information collection required to 
implement Title II of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 
and Title VI of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (The 
Statutes). The Statutes instruct the Department on how to implement 
rents resulting from a successful Plan of Action to maintain a 
project's affordability. This rent structure was implemented by 
regulation on September 21, 1990, and April 8, 1992 at CFR Part 248. 
The Title VI project rent structure portion was modified by 
appropriations action found in Public Law 103-327, dated September 18, 
1994, which provided for incorporating provisions that necessitate 
inclusion of a tenant payment standard for Lower Income Residents 
receiving Section 8 assistance during FY 1995.
    The interim rule includes one case of information collection. The 
form will be used by owners to assist in calculating annual rent 
payments made by each tenant residing in the property. The FY 1995 
Appropriations changes to Lower Income Tenant rent payments remain in 
effect as along as the Department funds under FY 1995 conditions. 
Owners are currently required to recertify tenants annually using Form 
HUD-50059. Form HUD-90012 amends the current recertification process to 
meet program guidelines. Information on the form will also be used by 
HUD field offices to monitor the owner's accurate calculation of these 
rent payments.
    Agency form number, if applicable: HUD-90012
    Members of affected public: Approximately 161 owners of LIHPRHA 
projects and approximately 54 ELIPHA projects located throughout the 
Continental United States.
    An estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection is 1,862, the number of respondents is 161, 
frequency of response is 1, and the hours of response is 8.66.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension with 
change.

    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: June 10, 1996.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.
