    Title of Proposal: Allocation of Operating Subsidies Under the

    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Section 9(f) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 establishes an 
Operating Fund for the purpose of making assistance available to public 
housing agencies (PHAs) which assistance is determined using a formula 
approach under the Operating Fund Program. PHAs compute their operating 
subsidy eligibility by completing the following HUD prescribed forms, 
as applicable, each fiscal year: Calculation of Utilities Expense Level 
(HUD-52722); Operating Fund Calculation of Operating Subsidy (HUD-
52723); and Calculation of Subsidies for Operations: Non-Rental Housing 
(HUD-53087). HUD uses the information on these forms to determine the 
operating subsidy obligation and proration level for each PHA. The 
three forms listed in this collection are automated in the Subsidy and 
Grant Information System (SAGIS).
    Agency form number: HUD-52722, HUD-52723, and HUD-53087.
    Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents: 6,955 
respondents annually with 1 response per respondent for forms HUD-52722 
and HUD-52723 for a total of 13,919 responses; and 1 response per 9 
respondents for form HUD-53087 for a total of 9 responses. Average time 
per response for each form is .75 hours and total annual burden hours 
are 10,439.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of 
currently approved collection.

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

    Dated: March 22, 2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy, Programs, and Legislative 
Initiatives.
