A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Agency (PHA) Lease 
and Grievance Requirements.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0006.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Public Housing lease and grievance procedures are a recordkeeping 
requirement on the part of Public Housing agencies (PHAs) as they are 
required to enter into and maintain lease agreements for each tenant 
who occupies a Public Housing unit. Also, both PHAs and tenants are 
required to follow the protocols set forth in the grievance procedures 
stated in their respective leases for both an informal and formal 
grievance hearing. This information collection is a reinstatement, with 
change, of the previous approved collection which has expired. The 
change is due to an update to the burden and cost estimate. 
Specifically, this is attributable to fewer number of tenants in public 
housing covered by these lease and grievance procedures.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): Public Housing Authority (PHA) 
Households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 821,741.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 1,150,437.
    Frequency of Response: 1.4.
    Average Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 287,609 hours.

affected parties concerning the collection of information described in

whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the

    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on

    (5) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
