A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Housing Opportunity Through
Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA): Public Housing Waiting List Data
Collection Tool.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0302.
Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
collection of information implements a statutory requirement made by
Section 103 of HOTMA, which was signed into law on July 29, 2016 (Pub.
L. 114-201, 130 Stat. 782). Section 103 of HOTMA amends section 16(a)
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437n(a)) (``1937
Act'').
Section 103 of HOTMA requires public housing agencies (PHAs) to set
new rent policies for over-income families residing in a dwelling unit
of public housing after a two-year grace period has ended.
Additionally, PHAs must submit an annual report on the number of over-
income families residing in public housing and the number of families
on the public housing waiting lists. Section 103 of HOTMA permits HUD
to determine the format of these annual reports. HUD has elected to
utilize income data already provided when possible, as this will result
in no additional burden to the PHA.
Each PHA with a Public Housing program is required to submit the
total number of families on their public housing waiting lists annually
(starting with Calendar Year 2023 data) utilizing the electronic Public
Housing Waiting List Data Collection Tool. PHAs will be allowed to use
income data already provided by Form HUD-50058, under OMB approval
number 2577-0083, which is submitted electronically in the Inventory
Management System/PIH Information Center to satisfy the requirement to
report the annual number of over-income families residing in public
housing. Per the requirements of Section 103 of HOTMA, HUD will
[[Page 44390]]
consolidate the data provided and publish this information annually in
a publicly available report.
