Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).
    This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to: 
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2)

    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Low-Income Public Housing Operating Budget, 
Supporting Schedules and Board Resolution.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0026.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
operating budget and supporting forms are submitted by the Public 
Housing Agency (PHA) for the low-income housing program. The operating 
budget provides a summary of proposed/budget receipts and expenditures 
by major category, as well as blocks for indicating approval of budget 
receipts and expenditures by the PHA and HUD. The supporting forms 
provide the detail of how the amount shown on the operating budget were 
arrived at, as well as justification of certain specified amounts. The 
information is reviewed by HUD to determine if the plan of operation 
adopted by the PHA and amounts included therein are reasonable for the 
efficient and economical operation of the development(s), and the PHA 
is in compliance with HUD procedures to assure that sound management 
practices will be followed in the operation of the development. A small 
number of PHAs (200) are still required to submit their operating 
budget packages to HUD, namely those that are troubled, those that are 
recently out of troubled status of at risk of becoming troubled, or 
those that are at risk of fiscal insolvency. PHAs are still required to 
prepare their operating budgets and submit them to their Board for 
approval prior to their operating subsidy being approved by HUD. The 
operating budgets must be kept on file for review, if requested.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-52564, HUD-52566, HUD-
52567, HUD-52571, HUD-52573, HUD-52574.
    Members of affected public: State, or Local Government.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: 200 troubled PHAs, annual, 116 hours = 
23,000 hours. 3300 PHAs submitting operating budgets to their Boards 
and keeping them on file, annual, 116 hours = 382,800. The total burden 
hours for this collection are 405,800.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement, 
without change.

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

    Dated: November 8, 2002.
Michael Liu,
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
