    Title of Proposal: Allocation of Operating Subsidies under the 
Operating Fund Formula: Data Collection (formerly the performance 
Funding System (PFS)).
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0029.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Statute requires that HUD implement an interim Operating Fund Formula 
for determining the payment of operating subsidies to public housing 
agencies (PHAs) for the operation and management of public housing. 
Section 9(f) establishes an Operating Fund for the purposes of making 
assistance available to PHAs; assistance made available from the 
Operating Fund is determined using a formula developed through 
negotiated remaking procedures. PHAs will compute operating subsidy 
eligibility by using forms prescribed by HUD as follows: Operating Fund 
Formula Data Collection (HUD-52720-A); Operating Fund Calculation of 
Formula and Delta (HUD-52720-B); Range Test and Determination of Base 
Year Expense Level (HUD-52720-C); Direct Disbursement Payment Schedule 
Data Operating Subsidies Public Housing Program (HUD-52721); 
Calculation of Allowable Utilities Expense Level (HUD-52722-A); 
Adjustment for Utility Consumption and Rates (HUD-52722-B); Operating 
Fund Calculation of Operating Subsidy (HUD-52723); Calculation of 
Subsidies for Operation (HUD-53087). Where appropriate, references to 
the Performance Funding System (PFS) have been changed to the operating 
fund; all references to Indian Housing Authorities (IHAs) have been 
removed. Line numbers have been revised to start at ``01'' on Form HUD-
52722-B. Form HUD-53087 is being reinstated; all references to Section 
23 Leased Housing have been removed. In the third quarter of FY 2001, 
HUD plans to start automating in phases all forms relating to operating 
subsidy calculations and the operating budget in the Public and Indian 
Housing Information Center (PIC).
    Agency form number: HUD-52720-A, HUD-52720-B, HUD-52720-C, HUD-
52721, HUD-52722-A, HUD-52722-B, HUD-52723, HUD-53087.
    Members of affected public: State, Local government; PHAs.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hour of response: 3,200 respondents, 1 response per 
respondent (eight forms) 25,600 total responses, .45 average time per 
response, 11,520 hours total burden.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension; 
reinstatement (HUD-53087).

    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
