    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection and 
one new Notices of Funding Availability (NOFA) added after the 60-day 
comment period.

    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Each 
year Congress appropriates funds to approximately 3,015 Public Housing 
Authorities (PHAs) for modernization, development, financing, and 
management improvements. The funds are allocated based on a complex 
formula. The forms in this collection are used to appropriately 
disburse and utilize the funds provided to PHAs. Additionally, these 
forms provide the information necessary to approve a financing 
transaction in addition to any Capital Fund Financing transactions. 
Respondents include the approximately 3,015 PHA receiving Capital Funds 
and any other PHAs wishing to pursue financing.
    This proposed information collection has been revised to include 
the following changes below:
    1. HUD has removed all of the hours for the annual submission of 
form HUD-50075.2 and reduced the hours for HUD-50075.1. HUD is now 
collecting that information electronically thru the Energy Performance 
Information Center (EPIC) system. These hours were transferred to OMB 
No. 2577-0274 Energy Performance Information Center (EPIC). HUD will 
continue to use the HUD-50075.1 for the Capital Fund set aside grant 
programs, Lead Based Paint, Emergency Safety and Security, and 
Emergency and Disaster. Only those hours remain in 2577-0157.1. As a 
result, the burden hours were decreased 9,260 hours
    2. Due to conversion of Public Housing to the Section 8 thru the 
Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program, the number of PHAs 
receiving Capital Funds has been reduced from 3,100 to 3,015. This has 
reduced the number of hours by 3,774.
    3. The total reduction in in burden hours are 13,034.

                                             Respondents (i.e., Affected Public): Public Housing Authorities
