SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Register notice that solicited

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Capital Fund 
Amendments to the Annual Contributions Contract.
    OMB Approval Number: New Collection.
    Type of Request: New.
    Form Number: HUD-52840A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
previously submitted this information under collection OMB 2577-0075 
which included inventory removal information as well as information on 
amendments to the ACC. The reason for the move is to keep similar types 
of information in separate collections. In addition to moving this 
information to a new collection, the HUD-52190 Declaration of Trust/
Restrictive Covenants and the Mixed Finance Amendment to the ACC were 
moved to OMB 2577-0275--Public/Private Partnerships for the Mixed-
Finance Development of Public Housing Units. All other information 
regarding inventory removals was retained in OMB 2577-0075 which is 
being renewed. PHAs are required to submit information to HUD in 
connection with their grantee duties to operate and maintain/modernize 
public housing dwelling units and other real property under the United 
States Housing Act of 1937 (1937 Act) (42 U.S.C. 1437g). Section 9 of 
the 1937 Act permits the Secretary of HUD to make grants (i.e., annual 
contributions) to public housing agencies (PHAs) to achieve and 
maintain the low-income character of public housing projects. The 
Secretary is required to embody the provisions for such annual 
contributions in an agreement (i.e., the ACC). Applicable regulations 
are 24 CFR part 905 for public housing development and modernization.
    Respondents: Public housing agencies.
