A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: PHA Board Resolution Approving 
Operating Budget.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0026.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of previously approved 
collection for which approval has expired.
    Form Number: HUD-52574.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
operating budget and related form are submitted by PHAs for the low-
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 
follows 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 fund grant being approved 
by HUD. The operating budgets must be kept on file and updated with 
actuals for HUD's review, if requested.
    Respondents: Public Housing Authorities and the Public Housing 
Authority's board chair.
