SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on June 19, 2017 at 

82 FR 27859. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Requirements for Designating Housing 

Projects. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0192. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

previously approved collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: The 

information collection burden 

associated with designated housing is 

required by statute. Section 10 of the 

Housing Opportunity and Extension Act 

of 1996 modified Section 7 of the U.S. 

Housing Act of 1937 to require Public 

Housing Agencies (PHAs) to submit a 

plan for designation for HUD approval 

before a project(s) can be designated as 

either elderly only, disabled only, or 

elderly and disabled. In this plan, PHAs 

must document why the designation is 

needed and provide the following 

information: 

1. Description of the designated 

housing plan; 

2. Justification for the designation; 

3. Availability of alternative housing 

resources for the non-designated 

population(s); 

4. Impact on the availability of 

accessible housing; 

5. A statement that existing tenants in 

good standing will not be evicted; 

6. A statement of the resources that 

will be made available if the PHA offers 

voluntary relocation benefits; and 

7. Information describing how the 

DHP is consistent with any outstanding 

court orders, lawsuits, investigations, 

Voluntary Compliance Agreements 

(VCAs), or Letters of Finding. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): 

State, or Local Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

39. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 1. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Average Hours per Response: 15 

hours. 

Total Estimated Burdens: 585 hours. 

The previous estimation of 375 

annual burden hours has been increased 

to 585. This change is based on the 

number of Plans submitted in Calendar 

Year 2016, and the expectation that the 

number of respondents will continue to 

increase based on the upward trend in 

senior demographics and the increased 

use of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits 

(LIHTC) to finance mixed developments 

that include senior units by Public 

Housing Agencies (PHAs). 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following: 

(1) 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) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to 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. 

HUD encourages interested parties to 

submit comment in response to these 

questions. 

Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
