is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies 
concerning the proposed collection of information to: (1) Evaluate 
whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; (2) evaluate the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information; (3) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic submission 
of responses.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Requirements for Designating Housing Projects.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0192.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
information collection burden associated with designated housing is 
required by statute. Section 10 of the Housing Opportunity and 
Extension Act of 1996 modified Section 7 of the U.S. Housing Act of 
1937 to require Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to submit to HUD a plan 
for designation before they designate projects for elderly families 
only, non-elderly disabled families only, or elderly and disabled 
families. In this plan, PHAs must document why the designation is 
needed, information on the proposed designation and the total PHA 
inventory, and what additional housing resources will be available to 
the non-designated group.
    Agency form number: None.
    Members of affected public: State or Local government.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents: 60 respondents; 
one response per respondent annually; 15 hours average per response, 
900 total reporting burden hours per year.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a 
previously approved collection.
