Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB
Title of Proposal: Economic Opportunity for Low-and Very Low-Income
Persons
Office: Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
OMB Control Number: 2529-0043.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
A. The Section 3 Summary Report (HUD form 60002)
The information will be used by the Department to monitor program
recipients for compliance with the requirements of Section 3 of the
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. HUD Headquarters will use
the information to assess the results of each recipient's efforts to
meet the regulatory objectives of Section 3, and to prepare mandatory
reports for Congress and the general public assessing the effectiveness
of Section 3. The data collected will be used by recipients as a self-
monitoring tool. The data collection for this form is unchanged.
B. Complaint register (Revised HUD form 958)
The information will be used by residents and businesses to submit
complaints alleging noncompliance with the regulatory requirements of
Section 3. HUD staff will use this form to respond to and investigate
complaints filed. The data collection for this form has been revised to
more accurately reflect the complaint investigation procedures set
forth in the Section 3 regulation at 24 CFR part 135.
Agency form numbers, if applicable: Form HUD 60002 and HUD 958
Revised.
Members of affected public: State and local governments agencies;
public and private non-profit organizations; Public Housing
Authorities; other public entities; low- and very low-income persons;
and/or businesses that are either owned by, or substantially employ,
low- or very low-income persons.
Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of
response, and hours of response: On an annual basis approximately 5,000
respondents (HUD recipients) will submit form HUD 60002 to HUD. It is
estimated that four hours per annual reporting period will be required
of the recipients to prepare the Section 3 report for a total of 20,000
hours. Form HUD 958 is submitted by approximately 100 persons annually
and takes approximately 2 hours to complete for a total of 200 hours.
Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement of a
currently approved collection of information from HUD recipients. Form
HUD 60002 is unchanged. Form HUD 958 is submitted with changes.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.
chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: December 20, 2010.
