    Title of Proposal: Public Housing Inventory Removal Application.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0075.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) are required to submit information to 
HUD to request permission to remove from inventory all or a portion of 
a public housing development (i.e. dwelling unit(s), non-dwelling 
property or vacant land) owned by a Public Housing Authority (PHA). The 
information requested in this application is based on requirements of 
Sections 18, 22, 32, and 33 of the United States housing Act of 1937 as 
amended (``Act''), 24 CFR Parts 906, 970, and 972 (HUD Regulations), 
and HUD's interest in property of PHAs under Annual Contribution 
Contracts and Declarations of Trust. The Department will use this 
information to determine whether, and under what circumstances, to 
permit PHAs to remove from their inventories all or a portion of a 
public housing development, as well as to track removals for other 
record keeping requirements. Responses to this collection of 
information are statutory and regulatory to obtain a benefit. The 
Department has automated the application process by instituting an 
inventory removal module in the Public and Indian Housing Information 
Center (PIC) System.
