    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) 
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (3) enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
including through the use of appropriate automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Public Housing Agency (PHA) Development Cost 
Budget/Cost Statement, Actual Development Cost Certificate, Acquisition 
and Relocation Report.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0036.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
needs the information on the Cost Budget/Statement to determine whether 
PHA expenditures or requests for funds are reasonable in relation to 
the stage of development so that, if they are not, appropriate action 
can be taken to prevent budget overruns or excessive financing. PHAs 
submit the Actual Development Cost Certificate to notify HUD that all 
development work has been completed, and to report the amount for all 
costs relating to development. Acquisition and relocation reports 
enable HUD to determine PHA compliance with acquisition and relocation 
requirements pursuant to the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real 
Property acquisition Policies Act of 1970.

    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: 620 respondents, annually, semi-
annually, and quarterly, five average hours per response, 8,864 hours 
for a total reporting burden.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension.

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