A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Flat Rent Exception 
Request Market Analysis.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0290.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-5880.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
form will streamline the process and reduce burden on PHAs when 
submitting a market analysis as part of a flat rent exception request 
in accordance with Notice PIH 2015-13(HA), which implements Section 238 
of Title II of Public Law 113-235, the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development Appropriations Act of 2015. Notice PIH 2015-13(HA) allows 
PHAs to request flat rents that are based on the local rental market 
conditions, when the PHA can demonstrate through a market analysis that 
the FMRs are not reflective of the local market. The current submission 
process does not stipulate a template for PHA submissions, therefore 
PHAs spend widely varying amounts of time and effort compiling 
information which may or may not facilitate HUD's review of their 
request.
    Respondents: Public Housing Authorities (PHAs).

    Explanation of burden hour and cost calculation:

 Number of respondents = 50
 Frequency of response/responses per annum = 1/1 (PHAs make one 
submission per fiscal year)
 Burden hours per response = estimated time to complete a 
market analysis
 Annual burden hours = 400
 Hourly cost per response = the average hourly pay rate earned 
by a housing specialist in a PHA responsible for collecting market data
 Annual cost = 400 * $17.11
