    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Management Operations Certification.
    OMB Control Number: 2577--(Formerly 2535-0106).
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) annually submit management operations 
information to HUD in accordance with the requirements of the Public 
Housing Assessment System. Electronic submission of this data requires 
the use of a template. HUD will continue to use the management 
operations information it collects from PHAs to assist in evaluation of 
their overall condition. Requiring PHAs to report electronically has 
enabled HUD to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the PHAs 
receiving federal funds from HUD. The Real Estate Assessment Center 
responsibility for this collection of information was transferred to 
the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: Form HUD-50072.
    Members of affected public: Local, State, or Tribal Governments, 
Not-for-profit Institutions.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: Management Operations Certification: 
3,169 PHAs; annual submission per PHA; average hours for PHA response 
is 1.9 hours; the total reporting burden is 6,202.5 hours.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a 
currently approved collection.

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

    Dated: June 28, 2002.
Michael Liu,
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
