A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Inventory Removal 
Application, General Depository Agreement, and Notification of Future 
Public Housing Development
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0075.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection
    Form Number: HUD-51999; HUD 52860, HUD 52860-A, HUD 52860-B, HUD 
52860-C; HUD 52860-D; HUD 52860-E, and HUD 52860-F, HUD-52860-G, and 
HUD-5837.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
collection covers the paperwork and HUD 52860 form requirements that 
PHAs must use when they request HUD approval to remove public housing 
real property (including units) from their public housing program 
through section 18 (demolition/disposition), section 22 (voluntary 
conversion), section 33 (required conversion) and section 32 
(homeownership conveyance) of 1937 Act, as well as through settlement 
agreements in lieu of court proceedings for proposed eminent domain 
takings of public housing property and retention requirements under 2 
CFR 200.311. Note that HUD approval of a removal action does not 
automatically or necessarily result in actual removal; rather, the PHA 
must complete the actual removal and comply with the applicable HUD 
reporting requirements to document the actual removal.
    This collection covers the paperwork and HUD-51999 (General 
Depository Agreement) (GDA) form that PHAs must use when they receive 
restricted funds and program income, by requiring such funds to be 
deposited into interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions 
whose deposits or accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation (FDIC) or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund 
(NCUSIF).
    This collection covers the paperwork and HUD-5837 (Notification of 
Public Housing Closeout or Future Development) form that PHAs must 
provide when they are submitting applications that remove all their 
public housing units about their plans for

[[Page 23453]]

potential new public housing development or closeout of their public 
housing program. The HUD-5837 is used by HUD to monitor the federal 
public housing inventory and PHA's ongoing Annual Contributions 
Contract (ACC) with HUD after the PHA has zero public housing units in 
its inventory.
    The revision of this collection does two things.
    First, it removes the following three forms that from this 
collection:
     Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) (HUD-53012).
     Declaration of Trust/Declaration of Restrictive Covenants 
(DOT/DORC) (HUD-52190). This form is included in OMB Collection 2577-
0275.
     Capital Fund Program (CFP) Amendment to the Annual 
Contributions Contract (ACC) Office of Public and Indian Housing (HUD-
52840-A). This form is being included in its own collection.
    Second, it makes formatting, instructional and other changes to the 
remaining forms to provide clearer direction and to ensure PHAs are 
fully complying with all applicable statutory and regulatory 
requirements.
    The name of this collection is being changed to reflect the removal 
of the ACC form and to reference the GDA and Notification of Public 
Housing Closeout or Future Development form. The previous name of the 
collection was Public Housing Annual Contributions Contract and 
Inventory Removal Application.
    Respondents: Public housing agencies.
