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, 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 the following sections of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
Section 18 (demolition/disposition), Section 22 (voluntary conversion), 
Section 33 (required conversion) and Section 32 (homeownership 
conveyance) 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.
    The collection is a renewal and is also a request to change the 
collection name to: Public Housing Inventory Removals Application, 
General Depository Agreement, and Notification of Public Housing 
Closeout or Future Development from: Public Housing Annual 
Contributions Contract and Inventory Removal Application
    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) and if the insurance limits are exceeded, then to be fully and 
continuously collateralized with HUD approved investments.
    This collection covers the paperwork and HUD-5837 (Notification of 
Future Development) form information that PHAs must provide when they 
are submitting applications that remove all their public housing units 
about their plans for 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 status as an 
entity with which HUD has a valid and ongoing Annual Contributions 
Contract (ACC).
    The revision of this collection does two things.
    First, it removes the following three forms 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.
    Respondents: Public housing agencies.
