Public Housing Assessment System 

(PHAS): Asset Management Transition 

Year 2 Information 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides new 

information related to scoring and 

submission requirements for public 

housing agencies (PHAs) under the 

Public Housing Assessment System 

(PHAS) for PHA fiscal years ending June 

30, 2009, September 30, 2009, December 

31, 2009, and March 31, 2010. These 

fiscal years coincide with the second 

year of project-based budgeting and 

accounting under asset management, 

also known as ‘‘Transition Year 2.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

Office of Public and Indian Housing, 

Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC), 

Attention: Wanda Funk, Department of 

Housing and Urban Development, 550 

12th Street, SW., Suite 100, Washington, 

DC 20410; telephone number (REAC 

Technical Assistance Center) 888–245– 

4860 (this is a toll-free number). Persons 

with hearing or speech impairments 

may access this number through TTY by

Relay Service at 800–877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. Background on PHAS 

PHAS was established by a final rule 

published on September 1, 1998 (63 FR 

46596). Prior to 1998, PHAs were 

evaluated by HUD under the Public 

Housing Management Assessment 

Program (PHMAP), the regulations for 

which are found at 24 CFR part 901. 

PHAS expanded assessment of a PHA to 

four key areas of a PHA’s operations: (1) 

The physical condition of the PHA’s 

properties; (2) the PHA’s financial 

condition; (3) the PHA’s management 

operations submitted as a selfcertification; and (4) the resident service 

and satisfaction assessment (through a 

resident survey). 

Under the current PHAS, and on the 

basis of these four indicators, a PHA 

receives a composite score that 

represents a single score for a PHA’s 

entire operation and a corresponding 

performance designation. PHAs that are 

designated high performers receive 

public recognition and relief from 

specific HUD requirements. PHAs that 

are designated standard and 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2010 / Notices 1633 

substandard performers shall be 

required to take corrective action to 

remedy identified deficiencies. PHAs 

that are designated troubled performers 

are subject to remedial action. 

By final rule published on January 11, 

2000 (65 FR 1712), HUD amended the 

PHAS regulations and implemented 

certain statutory changes resulting from 

enactment of the Quality Housing and 

Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (Pub. 

L. 105–276, October 21, 1998). 

B. Public Housing Operating Fund 

Program 

The regulations governing the Public 

Housing Operating Fund program are of 

key relevance to the proper operation of 

PHAs and, consequently, to PHAS. 

Operating funds are made available to a 

PHA for the operation and management 

of public housing, and therefore the 

regulations applicable to a PHA’s 

operation and management of public 

housing must be considered in any 

changes proposed to PHAS. The 

regulations for the Public Housing 

Operating Fund Program are found at 24 

CFR part 990, were published on 

September 19, 2005 (70 FR 54983), 

followed by a correction published on 

October 24, 2005 (70 FR 61366), and 

became effective on November 18, 2005. 

Subpart H of the part 990 regulations 

(§§ 990.255 to 990.290), as revised by 

the September 2005 rule, 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. PHAs 

with fewer than 250 dwelling rental 

units may elect to transition to asset 

management, but are not required to do 

so. In addition, § 223 of Title II of 

Division A of the 2010 Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, Pub. L. 111–117 

(Approved December 16, 2009), states 

that PHAs that own and operate 400 or 

fewer public housing units may elect to 

be exempt from any asset management 

requirement for the remainder of Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2010, with the exception of 

PHAs that are seeking a discontinuance 

of a reduction of operating subsidy, i.e., 

a stop-loss. This provision may remain 

in effect for future years, depending on 

the language in that year’s 

appropriations act. 

PHAs with more than 400 public 

housing units in CY 2009 and for the 

remainder of FY 2010, PHAs with 250 

or more public housing units thereafter, 

and PHAs that elect to transition to asset 

management are required to implement 

project-based management, projectbased budgeting, and project-based 

accounting. All project-based 

components are defined in the 

regulations at 24 CFR part 990, subpart 

H, and are essential components of asset 

management. 

C. PHAS Scoring During Transition 

Year 1 

On August 21, 2008, HUD published 

Federal Register notice FR–5227–N–01, 

Public Housing Assessment System 

(PHAS): Asset Management Transition 

Year Information and Uniform Financial 

Reporting Standards (UFRS) 

Information (73 FR 49588). In that 

notice, HUD indicated that, for PHAs 

with fiscal years ending June 30, 2008, 

through March 31, 2009, HUD would 

not issue a new overall PHAS score. 

Further, PHAs were not required to 

submit their management operations 

information and were not subject to 

resident satisfaction surveys (other than 

PHAs with fiscal years ending June 30, 

2008, for whom the survey results were 

informational only). PHAs still were 

required to submit their annual 

financial statements (not scored) and 

were subject to the same physical 

inspection frequencies, the scores from 

which also were for information 

purposes only. 

II. PHAS Scoring During Transition 

Year 2 

Transition Year 2 includes those 

PHAs with fiscal years ending June 30, 

2009, September 30, 2009, December 31, 

2009, and March 31, 2010. This notice 

also applies to Moving-to-Work PHAs 

that are not specifically exempted from 

a PHAS assessment in their grant 

agreements. 

Under the current PHAS rule, small 

PHAs (fewer than 250 public housing 

units) generally are assessed every other 

year. During Transition Year 2, small 

PHAs will be assessed pursuant to 24 

CFR 902.9. All other PHAs will be 

issued a new overall PHAS score under 

the current PHAS rule. 

The following are specific 

instructions for submissions and 

scoring: 

Physical Condition Inspections. 

Physical condition inspections will be 

conducted for PHAs during Transition 

Year 2 in accordance with existing 

protocols. Physical condition inspection 

scores for projects on both the 100-point 

scale and the 30-point scale will be 

available in Secure Systems, through the 

Integrated Assessment Subsystem 

(NASS). HUD also will give inspected 

projects credit for the physical 

condition and neighborhood 

environment factor. The performance 

incentive for PHAs that score 24 points 

or more on the 30-point scale that 

provides for physical condition 

inspections every other year will apply 

after the adjustment for the physical 

condition and neighborhood 

environment factor. Physical condition 

inspections of projects will be 

conducted on the same schedule as past 

inspections, and conducted, if 

applicable, in the quarter prior to a 

PHA’s fiscal year end. Because of 

scheduling logistics, HUD may need to 

have physical condition inspections 

conducted sooner than one year from 

the last physical condition inspection. 

However, no physical condition 

inspections for the purposes of PHAS 

scoring will occur any sooner than 6 

months from the last physical condition 

inspection for PHAS scoring, but HUD 

is not prevented from conducting a 

physical condition inspection of 

projects for purposes other than PHAS 

scoring. PHAs will continue to be able 

to request a technical review or database 

adjustment for their physical condition 

inspections during Transition Year 2, in 

accordance with the current PHAS 

regulations. 

Financial Condition Indicator. PHAs 

will be required to submit their 

unaudited financial condition 

information and audited financial 

condition information, if applicable, in 

accordance with 24 CFR part 5, subpart 

H, and 24 CFR part 902, subpart C. The 

financial condition then will be 

assessed pursuant to the current PHAS 

rule. 

Management Operations Indicator. 

PHAs will be required to submit their 

management operations certification, 

pursuant to 24 CFR 902, subpart D. 

Small PHAs that are not being assessed 

in Transition Year 2 (see above) are not 

required to submit a management 

operations certification. 

PHAs that are converting to asset 

management and for which the 

submission of the current management 

operations certification would impose 

an administrative hardship should 

request a waiver for their management 

operations certification, pursuant to 24 

CFR 5.110, within 30 days from the date 

of this notice. Upon a determination of 

good cause, HUD may waive the 

requirement for a PHA to submit its 

management operations certification. 

Please send all waiver requests to your 

local field office pursuant to PIH Notice 

2009–41. 

If a PHA’s waiver request is approved, 

the most recent management operations 

score of record will be carried over to 

the fiscal year being assessed. If a PHA’s 

waiver request is not approved, it shall 

have 60 days from the date of its 

notification of denial to submit its 

management operations certification.

For PHAs with fiscal years ending 

June 30, 2009, or September 30, 2009, 

their management operations 

certification is due 2 months after the 

date of this notice. 

Resident Assessment Indicator. HUD 

will not administer the resident service 

and satisfaction survey during 

Transition Year 2. A PHA has a choice 

regarding its resident service and 

satisfaction assessment score: 

(1) The most recent resident service 

and satisfaction assessment score will 

be carried over for PHAs with fiscal 

years ending June 30, 2009, September 

30, 2009, December 31, 2009, and March 

31, 2010; or 

(2) If a PHA believes it would have 

received a higher resident service and 

satisfaction assessment score if a new 

resident survey had been conducted, it 

may appeal its resident service and 

satisfaction assessment score pursuant 

to 24 CFR 902.69 and must include the 

PHA’s supporting documentation and 

reasons for the appeal. Please send all 

appeal requests to the Deputy Assistant 

Secretary, Real Estate Assessment 

Center, at the following address:

Development, Office of Public and 

Indian Housing, Attention: Deputy 

Assistant Secretary, Departmental 

Real Estate Assessment Center, 550 

12th Street, SW., Suite 100, 

Washington, DC 20410. 

HUD will determine if an adjustment 

is warranted. All other aspects of the 

current PHAS rule will remain in effect 

during Transition Year 2. 

III. Environmental Review 

This notice provides operating 

instructions and procedures in 

connection with activities under a 

Federal Register document that has 

previously been subject to a required 

environmental review. Accordingly, 

under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(4), this notice is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). 

Dated: January 4, 2010.

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 

1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

to issue leases, easements, or rights-ofway on the OCS for activities that 

produce or support production, 

transportation, or transmission of energy 

from sources other than oil and gas 

(renewable energy). Specifically, 

subsection 8(p) of the OCS Lands Act, 

as amended by section 388 of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–58), 

directs the Secretary of the Interior to 

issue any necessary regulations to carry 

out the OCS renewable energy program. 

The Secretary delegated the authority to 

issue such regulations and implement 

an OCS renewable energy program to 

the Minerals Management Service 

(MMS). The MMS has issued 

regulations for OCS renewable energy 

activities at 30 CFR part 285. 

Subsequent to the approval of the 

information collection requirements in 

the final 30 CFR part 285 regulations, 

MMS developed five new forms that 

respondents must use to submit certain 

information collection requirements in 

Subpart D, Lease and Grant 

Administration, and Subpart E, 

Payments and Financial Assurance 

Requirements. These forms entail no 

additional burden as they only clarify 

and facilitate the submission of the 

currently approved information 

collection requirements to which the 

forms pertain. This resubmitted ICR is 

revised to: Correct citation numbering, 

fine tune words to better match 

requirements in the final rule, and 

reflect the inclusion of the new Forms 

MMS–0002, MMS–0003, MMS–0004, 

MMS–0005, and MMS–0006. No burden 

hours have been changed from the OMB 

currently approved collection. 

Regulations implementing these 

responsibilities are under 30 CFR part 

285. Responses are mandatory or 

required to obtain or retain a benefit. No 

questions of a sensitive nature are 

asked. The MMS protects information 

considered proprietary according to the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR part 2), and under regulations 

at 30 CFR 285.113, addressing 

disclosure of data and information to be 

made available to the public and others. 

Respondents will operate commercial 

and noncommercial technology projects
