assist low-income tenants. HUD regulations, Part 960, provide policies 
and procedures for PHAs to administer the low-income public housing 
program for admission and occupancy. PHAs must develop and keep on file 
admission and occupancy policies including the plan for eligibility of 
police officers which is approved by HUD. PHA compliance will support 
the statute; HUD can ensure that the low-income character of the 
project and that sound management practices will be followed.

Organizations.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the

burden hours.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement, 
without change.
