    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
submission is to permit the continued processing of all Sections 202 
and 811 capital advance projects that have not yet been finally closed. 
The submission includes processing of the application for firm 
commitment to final closing of the capital advance. It is needed to 
assist HUD in determining the Owner's eligibility and capacity to 
finalize the development of a housing project under the Section 202 and 
Section 811 Capital Advance Programs. The Office of the Inspector 
General had also requested additional required certification language. 
HUD is also adding a new standard form to facilitate the renewal of 
project rental assistance contracts (PRACs). The form will reflect 
long-standing contract amendment language with updates to accommodate 
availability of both 5-year and annual terms for Section 202 PRACs. The 
number of annual contract renewal amendments is expected decrease for 
each of the next three years as additional properties switch from 
annual to five-year contracts. The Department also notes that PRAC 
contract renewal amendments may be executed utilizing DocuSign to 
obtain owner and HUD staff signatures. Finally, HUD has revised the 
form HUD-2554 to update contract provisions for Davis-Bacon prevailing 
wage requirements consistent with changes the Department of Labor (DOL) 
recently made to regulations at 29 CFR 5.5.
