    Title of Proposal: Public and Indian Housing--Life Cycle Cost 
Analysis of Utility Combinations in Public Housing.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0024.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended, requires that, to the maximum 
extent practicable, newly constructed and substantially rehabilitated 
developments assisted under the Act be equipped with heating and 
cooling systems selected on the basis of criteria which include a life-
cycle cost analysis of such systems. The Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1980 requires these developments to be equipped with 
a passive or active solar energy system that would be cost effective 
over the estimated life of the system to be installed. The life-cycle 
cost analysis of utility combinations (LCCAUC) is necessary to compare 
and recommend the most cost-effective utility-combination for new 
constructions or rehabilitation projects.
    Agency Form Number: HUD-51994 (Optional).
    Members of Affected Public: PHAs; IHAs.
    Estimation of the Total Number of Hours Needed To Prepare the 
Information Collection Including Number of Respondents, Frequency of 
Response, and Hours of Response: 238 respondents, one occasion for each 
(a) newly constructed development, (b) substantially rehabilitated 
development or (c) moderninzation project involving a change in utility 
combination, 6.0 average hours per response, 1,428 total burden hours.
    Status of the Proposed Information Collection: Reinstatement of a 
Previously Approved Collection for Which Approval has Expired.

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

    Dated: March 27, 1996.
