regulations and residents must be involved in plan development. HUD 
will review and approve or disapprove the plan and notify HAs of their 
action. For HUD-approved plans, HAs will maintain records which may be

cases where implementation of the plan takes more than one year, HAs 
will prepare annual reports and submit them to HUD.

response, and hours of response: 50 respondents; annual reporting; 76 
average hours per response, 3,800 total reporting burden hours.

without change, of a previously approved collection for which approval 
has expired.
