A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Receivership, Troubled, 
Substandard, At-Risk Program.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-New.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Agency Form Numbers: Narrative, Post-award Reporting, HUD-50075.1
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act of 2021, enacted on December 27, 2020, appropriated 
fifteen (15) million dollars for emergency grants to improve the asset 
management condition of housing owned by public housing authorities 
(PHA) in receivership, troubled, substandard, or at-risk statuses. From 
this appropriation, HUD has allocated fourteen million and five hundred 
thousand dollars (14.5) for this funding opportunity. To be eligible 
for this funding, a PHA must provide a narrative description of the 
physical needs and condition of the Asset Management Property (AMP), a 
plan with actions to address the issues at the AMP, and a projection of 
the impact of those actions on the AMP's performance (physical 
condition and occupancy). Post-award reporting requires PHAs awarded 
under this program to use Energy Performance Information Center (EPIC) 
to complete annual reports within 60 days of each annual anniversary of 
award. All other reporting (e.g., in financial systems) already 
required in the Capital Fund formula grant program or the Moving to 
Work program shall continue to apply.
    Respondents: Public Housing Agencies.
