the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have

public housing and Section 8 programs
and to assist in lease enforcement and
eviction of those individuals in the
public housing and Section 8 programs
who engage in criminal activity. The
reason for the current revision is that
the 2009 submission only included the
burden hours for Public Housing
participants. Because the screening is
done for residents in the Public Housing
and Section 8 program, the calculations
were updated to reflect this reality. The
current calculations use the existing
formula for burden hours but include
voucher residents.
Agency form number, if applicable:
None.
Members of affected public: State or
Local Government; Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs), Individuals or
Households.
Estimation of the Total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: Total Public Housing
Burden Hours for screening & eviction
(709,585 hours) + Total Voucher Burden
Hours for screening & eviction of
Voucher participants (1,409,229 hours)
= 2,118,814.

Collection: Revision of a currently
approved collection.

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
Agency (PHA) Lease and Grievance
Requirements.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0006.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Its Proposed Use: The
Public Housing lease and grievance
procedures are a recordkeeping
requirement on the part of Public
Housing agencies (PHAs) as they are
required to enter into and maintain
lease agreements for each individual or
family that occupies a Public Housing
unit. Also, both PHAs and tenants are
required to follow the protocols set forth
in the grievance procedures for both an
informal and formal grievance hearing.
The current revision was needed to
correct errors in the 2009 calculation.
The earlier calculation had over the
amount of time needed to complete the
form. The previous submission
incorrectly included the number of
responding PHAs in the calculation and
also incorrectly assumed that 100% of
households would be reviewing or
initiating a lease. The correction of the
errors brought the number of burden
hours down from 5,671,800 to 339,822.
Agency form number, if applicable:
None.
Members of Affected Public: Public
housing applicants and households.
Estimation of the Total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: Estimated number of
respondents: 3,144. The respondents
collect information for 1,181,986
households. The calculation for burden
hours is as follows: Calculation for
number of respondents: 1,181,986 × 1.15
(median number of new leases +
changes + grievances) × 15 minutes (.25
of an hour, median time to complete) =
339,822 total hours.
Status of the Proposed Information
Collection: Revision.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: July 13, 2012.
