SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD PIH maintains the IMS/PIC System. IMS/
PIC serves as a national repository of information related to Public 
Housing Authorities (PHAs), HUD-assisted families, and HUD-assisted 
properties, to provide rental assistance, information sharing, 
monitoring, and evaluating the effectiveness of PIH programs and 
subsidies. HUD is publishing this revised notice to add two new routine 
uses to the Routine Uses section to the SORN published in the Federal 
Register on March 25, 2019, at 84 FR 11117. The two new additions to 
the Routine Uses section allow for sharing of data with Universal 
Service Administrative Company (USAC)/Federal Communications Commission 
(FCC) to establish eligibility for benefits administered by USAC for 
families which also participate in a HUD rental assistance program, and 
to any Federal, State, or local agency to verify the accuracy and 
completeness of the eligibility data for HUD rental assistance program. 
The changes also include an update to the name of the system manager 
from Donald J. Lavoy to Ashley Sheriff.
