This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to: (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (3) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. This Notice also lists the following information: *Title of Proposal:*
                     Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). *OMB Approval Number:*
                     2577-0215. *Form Numbers:*
                     HUD-52648. *Description of the Need for the Information and its Proposed Use:*
                     Program regulations at 24 CFR part 985 set forth the requirements of the SEMAP that include a certification of indicators reflecting performance. Through this assessment, HUD can improve oversight of the Housing Choice Voucher program and target monitoring and assistance to public housing agencies (PHA) that need the most improvement and pose the greatest risk. PHAs designated as troubled must implement corrective action plans for improvements. *Members of the Affected Public:*
                     Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Governments. *Frequency of SEMP Certification Submission:*
                     Annually.
