SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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: 24 

CFR Part 50—Protection and 

Enhancement of Environmental Quality. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0177. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD 

requests its applicants to supply 

environmental information that is not 

otherwise available to HUD staff for the 

environmental review on an applicant’s 

proposal for HUD financial assistance to 

develop or improve housing or 

community facilities. HUD itself must 

perform an environmental review for 

the purpose of compliance with its 

environmental regulations found at 24 

CFR Part 50, Protection and 

Enhancement of Environmental Quality. 

Part 50 implements the National 

Environmental Policy Act and 

implementing procedures of the Council 

on Environmental Quality, as well as 

the related federal environmental laws 

and executive orders. HUD’s agencywide provisions—24 CFR 50.3(h)(1) and 

50.32 [copy attached]—regulate how 

individual HUD program staffs are to 

utilize such collected data when HUD 

itself prepares the environmental review 

and compliance. Separately, individual 

HUD programs each have their own 

regulations and guidance implementing 

environmental and related collection 

responsibilities. For the next three 

years, this approved collection will 

continue unchanged under this OMB 

control number to assure adequate 

coverage for all HUD programs subject 

to Part 50. 

Respondents: Businesses, not-forprofit institutions, and local 

governments receiving HUD funding.

Title of Information Collection: 

Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) 

Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0169. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collection with change that 

eliminates financial forms. 

Form Numbers: HUD–52515, HUD– 

52667, HUD–52580, HUD–52580–A,

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: Public 

Housing Agencies (PHA) will prepare an 

application for funding which specifies 

the number of units requested, as well 

as the PHA’s objectives and plans for 

administering the HCV program. The 

application is reviewed by HUD 

Headquarters and HUD Field Offices 

and ranked according to the PHA’s 

administrative capability, the need for 

housing assistance, and other factors 

specified in a notice of funding 

availability. The PHAs must establish a 

utility allowance schedule for all 

utilities and other services. Units must 

be inspected using HUD-prescribed 

forms to determine if the units meet the 

housing quality standards (HQS) of the 

HCV program. After the family is issued 

a HCV to search for a unit, the family 

must complete and submit to the PHA 

a Request for Tenancy Approval when 

it finds a unit which is suitable for its 

needs. Initial PHAs will use a 

standardized form to submit portability 

information to the receiving PHA who 

will also use the form for monthly 

portability billing. PHAs and owners 

will enter into HAP Contracts each 

providing information on rents, 

payments, certifications, notifications, 

and owner agreement in a form 

acceptable to the PHA. A tenancy 

addendum is included in the HAP 

contract as well as incorporated in the 

lease between the owner and the family. 

Families that participate in the 

Homeownership option will execute a 

statement regarding their 

responsibilities and execute contracts of 

sale including an additional contract of 

sale for new construction units. PHAs 

participating in the project-based 

voucher (PBV) program will enter into 

Agreements with developing owners, 

HAP contracts with the existing and 

New Construction/Rehabilitation 

owners, Statement of Family 

Responsibility with the family and a 

lease addendum will be provided for 

execution between the family and the 

owner. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): 

State and Local Governments, 

businesses or other non-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,302 PHAs. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

2,843,533. 

Frequency of Response: Varies by 

form. 

Average Hours per Response: .44 

hours. 

Total Estimated Burdens Hours: 

1,274,089.
