    Title of Proposal: Public/Private Partnerships for the Mixed 
Finance Development of Public Housing Units.
    OMB Control Number: 2577--pending.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Quality Housing and Work Responsibility (QHWRA) Act of 1998 (HUD Reform 
Act) authorized PHAs to use a combination of private financing and 
public housing development funds to develop public housing units 
(Mixed-Finance Development). The implementing regulation for Mixed-
Finance transactions is 24 CFR 941, subpart F. Mixed-Finance public 
housing development is designed to enable PHAs and their partners to 
structure transactions that make use of private and/or public sources 
of financing. Many potential scenarios for ownership and transaction 
structures exist. HUD must ensure that public housing rental 
regulations and public housing development regulations, which include 
wider HUD and Federal statutes and regulations, e.g., OMB Circulars, 
Fair Housing Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, are followed by PHAs 
and their private sector partners.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-50029, HUD-50030, 
Regulatory and Operating Agreement (form number pending). All other 
information will be collected via unique legal documents.
    Members of affected public:. Real Estate development and management 
entities, financial entities, Community Development entities, State and 
Local Governments.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response:
    Frequency of Submission: Once per Mixed-Finance transaction.
