A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Voucher Management System (VMS) 
Form.
    MB Approval Number: 2577-0282.
    Type of Request: Revision with change.
    Form Number: HUD-52681, HUD-52681-B, HUD-52663, HUD-52672, HUD-
52673, HUD-52681.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Voucher Management System (VMS) supports the information management 
needs of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program and management 
functions performed by the Financial Management Center (FMC) and the 
Financial Management Division (FMD) of the Office of Public and Indian 
Housing and the Real Estate Assessment Center (PIH-REAC). This system's 
primary purpose is to provide a central system to monitor and manage 
the Public Housing Agency (PHAs) use of vouchers and expenditure of 
program funds, and is the base for budget formulation and budget 
implementation. The VMS collects PHAs' actual cost data that enables 
HUD to perform and control cash management activities; the costs 
reported are the base for quarterly HAP and Fee obligations and advance 
disbursements in a timely manner, and reconciliations for overages and 
shortages on a quarterly basis.
