regulations 24 CFR 966.4 prescribe the provisions that shall be 
incorporated in leases by public housing agencies (PHAs) for dwelling 
units assisted under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 in projects owned by 
or leased to PHAs and leased or subleased by PHAs to the tenants.

and associated information collected by the PHA from tenants is 
incidental to the PHAs' day-to-day operations as landlords of rental 
housing. If these minimal requirements were not imposed; the Federal 
Government would have no assurance that PHAs were adopting leases 
consistent with the law and regulations and no assurance that tenants 
were being provided proper access to the PHA's grievance procedures.

of tenants; annually frequency of responses;.33 hours per response 
(recordkeeping); 156,816 total burden hours.
    Status of the Proposed Information Collection: Extension.
