    Title of Proposed: Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) System User

    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0267.
    Form Numbers: HUD-52676 and HUD-52676-I.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: In 
accordance with statutory requirements at 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended 
(most commonly known as the Federal Privacy Act of 1974), the 
Department is required to account for all disclosures of information 
contained in a system of records. Specifically, the Department is 
required to keep an accurate accounting of the name and address of the 
person or agency to which the disclosure is made. The Enterprise Income 
Verification (EIV) System (HUD/PIH-5) is classified as a System of 
Records, as initially published on July 20, 2005, in the Federal 
Register at page 41780 (70 FR 41780) and amended and published on 
August 8, 2006, in the Federal Register at page 45066 (71 FR 45066). As 
a condition of granting HUD staff and staff of processing entities with 
access to the EIV system, each prospective user of the system must (1) 
request access to the system; (2) agree to comply with HUD's 
established rules of behavior; and (3) review and signify their 
understanding of their responsibilities of protecting data protected 
under the Federal Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended). As such, the 
collection of information about the user and the type of system access 
required by the prospective user is required by HUD to: (1) Identify 
the user; (2) determine if the prospective user in fact requires access 
to the EIV system and in what capacity; (3) provide the prospective 
user with information related to the Rules of Behavior for system usage 
and the user's responsibilities to safeguard data accessed in the 
system once access is granted; and (4) obtain the signature of the 
prospective user to certify the user's understanding of the Rules of 
Behavior and responsibilities associated with his/her use of the EIV 
system. HUD collects the following information from each prospective 
user: Public Housing Agency (PHA) code, organization name, address, 
prospective user's full name, HUD-assigned user ID, position title, 
telephone number, facsimile number, type of work which involves the use 
of the EIV system, type of system action requested, requested access 
roles to be assigned to prospective user, public housing development 
numbers to be assigned to prospective PHA user, and prospective user's 
signature and date of request. The information is collected 
electronically and manually (for those who are unable to transmit 
electronically) via a PDFfillable or Word-fillable document, which can 
be emailed, faxed or mailed to HUD. If this information is not 
collected, the Department will not be in compliance with the Federal 
Privacy Act and be subject to civil penalties.
