Short Statement: The Department is seeking to establish an FSS collection that encompasses both the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher FSS programs. Because PHAs who administer the Public Housing FSS program were covered under a different collection (OMB No. 2577-0229) the Department is incorporating these PHAs and any applicable forms into this collection, and will be making appropriate revisions to OMB No. 2577-0229. Additionally, changes were made to the content of form HUD-52651, and consequently, the burden hours were increased from 0.75 to 1 hour per response.
