SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed

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

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.
    Title of Proposal: 5-Year and Annual Public Housing Agency (PHA) 
Plan.

[[Page 45824]]

    OMB Control Number: 2577-0226.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: 
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) submit an annual plan for each fiscal 
year for which the PHA receives tenant-based assistance and public 
housing operating subsidy. This plan provides a framework for local 
accountability and to the extent possible, an easily identifiable 
source by which public housing residents, participants in the housing 
choice voucher program, and other members of the public may locate 
housing and services. The PHA plan is a web-based application (allowing 
PHAs to retrieve the applicable templates) that allows PHAs to provide 
their plans to HUD via the Internet. The system allows HUD to track 
plans every year with limited reporting and any changes from the 
previous submission.
    Agency Form Numbers: HUD-50075; HUD-50077.
    Members of the Affected Public: State and local government.
