    Form Number: HUD-52574.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The

income housing program. The operating budget provides a summary of 
proposed budget receipts and expenditures by major category, as well as 
blocks for indicating approval of budget receipts and expenditures by 
the PHA and HUD. The related form provides a record of PHA Board 
approval of how the amount shown on the operating budget were arrived 
at, as well as justification of certain specified amounts. The 
information is reviewed by HUD to determine if the plan of operation 
adopted by the PHA and amounts included therein are reasonable for the 
efficient and economical operation of the development(s), and the PHA 
is in compliance with HUD procedures to assure that sound management 
practices will be followed in the operation of the development. PHAs 
are still required to prepare their operating budgets and submit them 
to their Board for approval prior to their operating subsidy being 
approved by HUD. The operating budgets must be kept on file for review, 
if requested.
