Sec. 901.100  Data collection.

    (a) Information on some of the indicators will be derived by the 
State/Area Office from existing reporting and data forms.
    (b) A PHA shall provide certification as to data on indicators not 
collected according to paragraph (a) of this section, by submitting a 
certified questionnaire within 60 calendar days after the end of the 
fiscal year covered by the certification:
    (1) The certification shall be approved by PHA Board resolution, and 
signed and attested to by the Executive Director.
    (2) PHAs shall maintain documentation for three years verifying all 
certified indicators for HUD on-site review.
    (3) A PHA may include along with its certification submission, 
rather than through an exclusion or modification request, any 
information bearing on the accuracy or completeness of the data used by 
HUD (corrected data, late reports, previously omitted required reports, 
etc.) in grading an indicator.

HUD will consider this assertion in grading the affected indicator.
    (4) If a PHA does not submit its certification, or submits its 
certification late, appropriate sanctions may be imposed, including a 
presumptive rating of failure in all of the PHMAP indicators, which may 
result in troubled and mod-troubled designations.
    (5) A PHA that cannot provide justifying documentation to HUD during 
the conduct of a confirmatory review, or other verification review(s), 
for any indicator(s) or component(s) certified to, shall receive a 
failing grade in that indicator(s) or component(s), and its overall 
PHMAP score shall be lowered.
    (6) If the data for any indicator(s) or component(s) that a PHA 
certified to cannot be verified by HUD during the conduct of a 
confirmatory review, or any other verification review(s), the State/Area 
Office shall change a PHA's grade for any indicator(s) or component(s), 
and its overall PHMAP score, as appropriate, to reflect the verified 
data obtained during the conduct of such review.
    (7) A PHA that cannot provide justifying documentation to the 
independent auditor for the indicator(s) or component(s) that the PHA 
certified to, as reflected in the audit report, shall receive a grade of 
F for that indicator(s) or component(s), and its overall PHMAP score 
shall be lowered.
    (8) A PHA's PHMAP score for individual indicators or components, or 
its overall PHMAP score, may be changed by the State/Area Office 
pursuant to the data included in the independent audit report, as 
applicable.
    (9) A PHA's certification and supporting documentation will be post-
reviewed by HUD during the next on-site review as determined by risk 
management, but is subject to verification at any time. Appropriate 
sanctions for intentional false certification will be imposed, including 
suspension or debarment of the signatories, the loss of high performer 
designation, a lower grade for individual indicators and a lower PHMAP 
total weighted score.
    (c) For those developments of a PHA where management functions have 
been assumed by an RMC, the PHA's certification shall identify the 
development and the management functions assumed by the RMC. The PHA 
shall obtain a certified questionnaire from the RMC as to the management 
functions undertaken by the RMC. The PHA shall submit the RMC's 
certified questionnaire along with its own. The RMC's certification 
shall be approved by its Executive Director or Chief Executive Officer 
of whatever title.
