A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Operating Subsidy--
Appeals.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0246.
    Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Under 
the operating fund rule, PHAs that elect to file an appeal of their 
subsidy amounts are required to meet the appeal requirements set forth 
in subpart G of the rule. There are four grounds of appeal in 24 CFR 
990.245 under which PHAs may appeal the amount of their subsidy. They 
are: a streamlined appeal; an appeal for specific local conditions; an 
appeal for changing market conditions; and an appeal to substitute 
actual project cost data. To appeal the amount of subsidy on any one of 
these permitted bases of appeal, PHAs submit a written appeal request 
to HUD and appeal must cover an entire portfolio (not single projects). 
However, HUD has the discretion to accept appeals of less than an 
entire portfolio for PHAs with greater than 5,000 public housing units. 
Additional requirements with respect to certain appeals are covered by 
24 CFR 990.250.

Government.
