               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

PART 908_ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF REQUIRED FAMILY DATA FOR PUBLIC 

HOUSING, INDIAN HOUSING, AND THE SECTION 8 RENTAL CERTIFICATE, RENTAL 

VOUCHER, AND MODERATE REHABILITATION PROGRAMS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  908.104  Requirements.



    (a) Automated HAs. Housing agencies that currently use automated 

software packages to transmit Forms HUD-50058 and HUD-50058-FSS 

information by tape or diskette to the Department's data processing 

contractor must convert to telephonic electronic transmission of that 

data in a HUD specified format by June 30, 1995.

    (b) Nonautomated HAs. Housing agencies that currently prepare and 

transmit the HUD-50058 and HUD-50058-FSS information to HUD paper must:

    (1) Complete a vendor search and obtain either:

    (i) The necessary hardware and software required to develop and 

maintain an in-house automated data processing system (ADP) used to 

generate electronic submission of the data for these forms via 

telephonic network; or

    (ii) A service contract for the operation of an automated system to 

generate electronic submission of the data for these forms via 

telephonic network;

    (2) Complete their data loading; and

    (3) Begin electronic transmission by March 2, 1996.

    (c) Electronic transmission of data. Electronic transmission of data 

consists of submission of all required data fields (correctly formatted) 

from the forms HUD-050058 and HUD-50058-FSS telephonically, in 

accordance with HUD instructions. Regardless of whether an HA obtains 

the ADP system itself or contracts with a service bureau to provide the 

system, the software must be periodically updated to incorporate changes 

or revisions in legislation, regulations, handbooks, notices, or HUD 

electronic transmission data format requirements.

    (d) Service contract. HAs that determine that the purchase of 

hardware and/or software is not cost effective may contract out the 

electronic data transmission function to organizations that provide such 

services, including, but not limited to the following organizations: 

local management associations and management agents with centralized 

facilities. HAs that contract out the electronic transmission function 

must retain the ability to monitor the day-to-day operations of the 

project at the HA site and be able to demonstrate the ability to the 

relevant HUD Field Office.

    (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 

section, the Department may approve transmission of the data by tape or 

diskette if it determines that the cost of telephonic transmission would 

be excessive.
