This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Management 

Review of Public Housing Projects. 

OMB Control Number: 2577—

Pending. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: On 

September 19, 2005 (70 FR 54983), HUD 

published a final rule amending the 

regulations of the Public Housing 

Operating Fund Program at 24 CFR part 

990, which was developed through 

negotiated rulemaking. Part 990 

provides a new formula for distributing 

operating subsidy to public housing 

agencies (PHAs) and establishes 

requirements for PHAs to convert to 

asset management. 

Subpart H of the part 990 regulations 

(§§ 990.255 to 990.290) establishes the 

requirements regarding asset 

management. Under § 990.260(a), PHAs 

that own and operate 250 or more 

dwelling rental units must operate using 

an asset management model consistent 

with the subpart H regulations. 

However, for the current fiscal year, that 

regulation is superseded by section 225 

of Title II of Division K of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, 

Public Law 110–161 (approved 

December 26, 2007). Under that law, 

PHAs that own or operate 400 or fewer 

units may elect to transition to asset 

management, but they are not required 

to do so. 

To support the transition to asset 

management and align HUD oversight 

with asset management, a new 

management review format is required 

to review PHAs on a project level, rather 

than PHA-wide. The forms are modeled 

after the asset management model 

consistent with the management norms 

in the broader multifamily industry. 

Agency form numbers: Forms HUD–

5834, HUD–5834–A, and HUD–5834–B. 

Members of affected public: Public 

housing agencies. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents: For form HUD–5834, 

Management Review of Public Housing 

Projects, there are 3,282 respondents 

annually with one response per 

respondent. Average time per response 

is .95 hours and the total burden hours 

are 3,118 hours. For form HUD–5834–A, 

Tenant File Review, there are 821 

respondents annually with one response 

per respondent. Average time per 

response is .50 hours and the total
