The Statutes instruct the Department on how to implement rents resulting from a successful Plan of Action to maintain a project's affordability. This rent structure was implemented by regulation on September 21, 1990, and April 8, 1992 at CFR Part 248. The Title VI project rent structure portion was modified by appropriations action found in Public Law 103-327, dated September 18, 1994, which provided for incorporating provisions that necessitate inclusion of a tenant payment standard for Lower Income Residents receiving Section 8 assistance during FY 1995. The interim rule includes one case of information collection. The form will be used by owners to assist in calculating annual rent payments made by each tenant residing in the property. The FY 1995 Appropriations changes to Lower Income Tenant rent payments remain in effect as along as the Department funds under FY 1995 conditions. Owners are currently required to recertify tenants annually using Form HUD-50059. Form HUD-90012 amends the current recertification process to meet program guidelines. Information on the form will also be used by HUD field offices to monitor the owner's accurate calculation of these rent payments. Agency form number, if applicable: HUD-90012 Members of affected public: Approximately 161 owners of LIHPRHA projects and approximately 54 ELIPHA projects located throughout the Continental United States. An estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection is 1,862, the number of respondents is 161, frequency of response is 1, and the hours of response is 8.66. Status of the proposed information collection: Extension with change. Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended. Dated: June 10, 1996. Nicolas P. Retsinas, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner. [FR Doc. 96-15226 Filed 6-14-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4210-01-M
