SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed

proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; (2) evaluate the accuracy

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: Public Housing Assessment System--Management 
Operations Certification.
    OMB Control Number: 2535-0106.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
assesses all of the management operations data required under section 
6(j) of the Act in a format comprising six sections or sub-indicators. 
The PHAS regulation requires that all management operations data be 
submitted electronically to HUD, in a HUD prescribed format. HUD uses 
the management data it collects from program participants to evaluate 
all major areas of a participant's management operations. The 
management data are evaluated using predetermined weights and factors 
to compute an indicator score for the management operations of each 
reporting entity. HUD uses this score with three other PHAS indicator 
scores (i.e., physical condition, financial condition and resident 
services) to produce an overall PHAS score for each PHA. The overall 
PHAS score determines if a PHA's performance is high, standard, or 
troubled.
    Agency form number, if applicable: Form HUD-50072.
    Members of affected public: PHAs, State or local government.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents: The estimated 
number of respondents is an annual average of 3,174 PHAs that submit 
management operations certification. The average number for each PHA 
response varies by size of the PHA, with a total reporting burden of 
3,644 hours, or an average of 1.15 hours per respondent.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a 
currently approved collection.

    Authority:  Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: April 7, 2010.
Merrie Nichols-Dixon,
Acting Deputy Assistant, Secretary for Policy, Program and Legislative 
Initiatives.
