    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Admission to, and Occupancy of Public Housing.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0220.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Statute requires HUD to ensure the low-income character of public 
housing projects and to assure that sound management practices will be 
followed in the operation of the project. Public Housing Agencies 
(PHAs) enter into an Annual Contribution Contract (ACC) with HUD to 
assist low-income tenants. HUD regulations, part 960, provide policies 
and procedures for PHAs to administer the low-income housing program 
for admission and occupancy. PHAs must develop and keep on file the 
admission and occupancy policies and the PHA must include in the annual 
plan or supporting documents the number and location of the units to be 
occupied by police officers, and the terms and conditions of their 
tenancies; and a statement that such occupancy is needed to increase 
security for public housing residents. PHA compliance will support the 
statute; and HUD can ensure that the low-income character of the 
project and sound management practices will be followed.
    Agency form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    Members of affected public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including respondents: The estimated number of 
respondents is 3,278 annually with one response per respondent. The 
average number for each response is 60 hours, for a total burden of 
196,680.
    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 24, 2011.
Merrie Nichols-Dixon,
Deputy Director, Office of Policy, Program and Legislative Initiatives.
