Operating Fund Formula: Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0029.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Section 9(f) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 establishes an
Operating Fund for the purpose of making assistance available to public
housing agencies (PHAs) which assistance is determined using a formula
approach under the Operating Fund Program. PHAs compute their operating
subsidy eligibility by completing the following HUD prescribed forms,
as applicable, each fiscal year: Calculation of Utilities Expense Level
(HUD-52722); Operating Fund Calculation of Operating Subsidy (HUD-
52723); and Calculation of Subsidies for Operations: Non-Rental Housing
(HUD-53087). HUD uses the information on these forms to determine the
operating subsidy obligation and proration level for each PHA. The
three forms listed in this collection are automated in the Subsidy and
Grant Information System (SAGIS).
Agency form number: HUD-52722, HUD-52723, and HUD-53087.
Members of affected public: Public Housing Agencies.
Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents: 6,955
respondents annually with 1 response per respondent for forms HUD-52722
and HUD-52723 for a total of 13,919 responses; and 1 response per 9
respondents for form HUD-53087 for a total of 9 responses. Average time
per response for each form is .75 hours and total annual burden hours
are 10,439.
Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: March 22, 2010.
Merrie Nichols-Dixon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy, Programs, and Legislative
Initiatives.
