    Title of Proposal: Public Housing Occupancy Data.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0028.
    Form Number: HUD-50058.
    Description of the need for the information and its proposed use: 
Housing Agencies (HAs) are required to submit occupancy information 
electronically to HUD through the Form 50058 module of the Public and 
Indian Housing (PIH) Information Center (PIC). The information to be 
collected provides occupancy information to monitor units that are or 
will be vacant, demolished, boarded-up, under repair/modernization 
rehabilitation, or converted to a non-dwelling status. These unoccupied 
units represent a serious waste of program resources that could be 
averted by HUD attention and intervention. The information on the Form 
50058 is verified electronically before it is accepted in the PIC 
system. The information is used to prepare input to reports on 
Presidential and Congressional needs.
    Members of Effected Public: Individuals or households, State, 
Local, or Tribal Government.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents:
    Frequency of Submission: Annually.
