information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on March 1, 2016 at

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Form 

50900: Elements for the Annual Moving 

to work Plan and Annual Moving to 

work Report. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0216. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with 

change, of a previously approved 

collection. 

Form Number: HUD–50900. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: All 

Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are 

required to submit a five (5) Year Plan 

and Annual Plans as stated in Section 

5A of the 1937 Act, as amended; 

however, for PHAs with specific types 

of Moving to Work (MTW) 

demonstration agreements (39 at the 

time of submission of this request) the 

Annual MTW Plan and Annual MTW 

Reports are submitted in lieu of the 

standard annual and 5-year PHA plans. 

Additional PHAs (approximately 50) 

will apply to the MTW demonstration 

per the 2016 appropriations act. 

The MTW Demonstration was 

authorized under Section 204 of the 

Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and 

Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 

104–134, 110 Stat 1321), dated April 26, 

1996. The original MTW Demonstration 

statute permitted up to 30 PHAs to 

participate in the demonstration 

program. Nineteen PHAs were selected 

for participation in the MTW 

demonstration in response to a HUD 

Notice published in the Federal 

Register on December 18, 1996 and five 

of the 30 slots were filled through the 

Jobs-Plus Community Response 

Initiative. 

Additional MTW ‘slots’ have been 

added by Congress over time through 

appropriations statutes. Two PHAs were 

specifically named and authorized to 

join the demonstration in 1999 under 

the VA, HUD, and Independent 

Agencies Appropriations Act of 1999 

(Pub. L. 105–276, 112 Stat. 2461), dated 

October 21, 1998. A Public and Indian 

Housing Notice (PIH Notice 2000–52) 

was issued on December 13, 2000, 

allowed up to an additional 6 PHAs to 

participate in the MTW demonstration. 

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2008 (Pub. L. 110–161, 121 Stat. 1844) 

added four named PHAs to the Moving 

to Work demonstration program. 

Subsequent Appropriations Acts for 

2009, 2010, and 2011 authorized a total 

of 12 additional MTW slots. As part of 

HUD’s 2009 budget appropriation 

(Section 236, title II, division I of the 

Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, 

enacted March 11, 2009), Congress 

directed HUD to add three agencies to 

the MTW program. As part of HUD’s 

2010 budget appropriation (Section 232, 

title II, division A of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2010, enacted 

December 16, 2009), Congress 

authorized HUD to add three agencies to 

the MTW demonstration. In 2011, 

Congress again authorized HUD to add 

three MTW PHAs pursuant to the 2010 

Congressional requirements. The 

Appropriations Act for 2016 authorized 

a total of 100 additional MTW slots over 

seven years.

A Standard MTW Agreement 

(Standard Agreement) was developed in 

2007, and was transmitted to the 

existing MTW agencies in January 2008. 

As additional MTW PHAs were selected 

they too were provided with the 

Standard Agreement. All 39 existing 

MTW agencies operate under this 

agreement, which authorizes 

participation in the demonstration 

through each agency’s 2018 fiscal year. 

HUD is currently working on an 

extension of the Standard Agreement to 

2028, as required by the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2016. 

Under the Standard Agreement, all 

MTW sites are authorized to combine 

their operating, modernization and 

housing choice voucher funding into a 

single ‘‘block’’ grant. Because they 

cannot conform with the requirement 

for the regular PHA annual and 5 year 

plans, and because HUD requires 

different information from these PHAs 

for program oversight purposes, these 

sites are required to submit an annual 

MTW Plan and an annual MTW Report 

in accordance with their MTW 

Agreement, in lieu of the regular PHA 

annual and 5 year plans. 

Through the MTW Annual Plan and 

Report, each MTW site will inform 

HUD, its residents and the public of the 

PHA’s mission for serving the needs of 

low-income and very low-income 

families, and the PHA’s strategy for 

addressing those needs. The MTW 

Annual Plan, like the Annual PHA Plan, 

provides an easily identifiable source by 

which residents, participants in tenantbased programs, and other members of 

the public may locate policies, rules, 

and requirements concerning the PHA’s 

operations, programs, and services. 

Revisions are being made to these 50900 

forms to improve its usability and to 

address minor issues identified by HUD 

and the MTW PHAs over time. The form 

is also being updated also to implement 

provisions of the Department’s 

affirmatively furthering fair housing 

(AFFH) rule (24 CFR 5.150–5.180). 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): The 

respondents to this PRA are the 39 

Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) that 

currently have the MTW designation 

and approximately 50 PHAs anticipated 

to apply for MTW designation. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

89. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 518. 

There are 7 sections associated with 

this Form requiring response. All 7 

sections are completed with the first 

annual submission (Plan), and 5 of the 

7 are completed with the second annual 

submission (Report). This results in a 

total of 12 total responses per PHA, or 

468 total responses per year across all 

39 affected PHAs. The application 

results in 1 total response per PHA for 

approximately 50 anticipated PHAs, or 

a total of 50 responses per year. The 

total is then 518 responses per year. 

Frequency of Response: MTW PHAs 

complete requirements associated with 

this Form twice per year (Plan and 

Report). In the Plan, the PHA completes 

all 7 sections of the Form. In the Report, 

the PHA completes only 5 of the 7 

sections of the Form. The application 

would be completed once. 

Average Hours per Response: The 

estimated average burden is 40.5 hours 

per response (or 81 total hours per year) 

for the Plan and Report (for 39 PHAs) 

and 20 hours per year for the 

application (for 50 PHAs). 

Total Estimated Burdens: 5680.
