INITIAL PRIVACY ASSESSMENT (IPA)

The Initial Privacy Assessment (IPA) is use to determine whether a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is required under the E-Government Act of 2002. The IPA is also used to determine if a System of Records Notice (SORN) is required under the Privacy Act of 1974.

The IPA is an administrative form created by the Privacy Branch to efficiently and effectively identify the use of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) across the Department. The IPA focuses on three areas of inquiry:

• Business data and business processes within each HUD program.

• Potential connections with individuals including the use of PII – any use of social security numbers must be specifically identified.

HUD’s program and support offices should ensure that its respective IPA is completed and sent to the Privacy Branch for approval. If SSNs are to be used, the IPA specifically identifies the justification and authority for using SSNs. Upon receipt of the IPA, the Privacy Branch determines the applicability of other privacy compliance requirements including the PIA and SORN. The IPA is complete when the Privacy Branch signs it and sends the final copy back to the identified point of contact.

Please complete this form and send it to the HUD Privacy Branch staff.

SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

1. Describe the project and its purpose:

All PHAs are required to submit annual plans to HUD, however, PHAs with a Moving to Work demonstration designation (39 at the time of submission of this request) must submit an Annual MTW Plan and Annual MTW Report in lieu of the standard 5-year plan and annual update. In 2013, revisions were made to this 50900 form to streamline the process of Agencies submitting required Annual Plan and Report Data to HUD so that the Department is able to better respond to Congressional and other inquiries regarding outcome measures obtained and promising practices learned throughout the duration of the demonstration. This 2016 revision of the Form makes a variety of minor refinements to improve clarity and usability, based on the experiences of HUD and PHAs with the form over the last 3 years.

The purpose of this Form is to collect information on the operations and performance of MTW PHAs, especially in regards to how the PHAs are using statutory and regulatory flexibility under the MTW Demonstration. No information is collected at the individual level.
