A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public
Housing Annual Contributions Contract
and Inventory Removal Application.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0075.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD–51999, HUD–

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
previously amended this information
collection to consolidate all information
that PHAs are required to submit to
HUD in connection with their
contractual duties to operate and
remove public housing dwelling units
and other real property under the
United States Housing Act of 1937 (1937
Act) (42 U.S.C § 1437g).

(HUD–53012). Section 9 of the 1937 Act

asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 6, 2017 / Notices
permits the Secretary of HUD to make
grants (i.e, annual contributions
contracts) to Public Housing Agencies
(PHAs) to achieve and maintain the
lower income character of public
housing projects. The Secretary is
required to embody the provisions for
such payments in an agreement (i.e.,
ACC). The purpose of the ACC is to
establish the grant agreement between
each Public Housing Agency (PHA) and
HUD. The ACC establishes the basic
terms and conditions for the PHA’s
public housing program and requires
the PHA to manage and operate all of its
public housing properties in accordance
with the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and
all applicable HUD Requirements. This
collection amends this ACC document
by merging the current HUD–53012–A
and HUD–53012–B forms into one
document and adding requirements
applicable to mixed-finance public
housing development and making minor
clarifications and updates, based on
applicable statutes and regulations, on
the contractual agreement.
Declaration of Trust (DOT) (HUD–
51290). The purpose of the Declaration
of Trust (DOT) is to require PHA’s to
remain seized of the title of public
housing projects and other real property
and to refrain from transferring,
conveying, assigning, leasing,
mortgaging, pledging, or otherwise
encumbering or permitting or suffering
any transfer, conveyance, assignment,
lease, mortgage, pledge or other
encumbrance of said property or any
part thereof, appurtenances thereto, or
any rent, revenues, income, or receipts
therefrom or in connection therewith, or
any of the benefits or contributions
granted to it by or pursuant to the ACC.
This collection amends this ACC
document by merging the current HUD–
51290–A (development) and HUD–
51290–B (modernization) forms, into
one document, as well as adding the
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants
(DORC) document for mixed-finance
public housing developments into one
form.
General Depository Agreement (GDA)
(HUD–51999). The purpose of the
General Depository Agreement (GDA) is
to ensure PHAs use all program receipts
received from HUD or otherwise
associated with public housing funds
for purposes of public housing, by
requiring such financial assistance to be
deposited into interest-bearing accounts
at financial institutions whose deposits
or accounts are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or
the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). This
collection makes a small change to the
Notice provision of the GDA to require

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:37 Sep 05, 2017

Jkt 241001

that notice be implemented by the
Depository within 24 hours of receipt.
The GDA is an agreement between the
PHA and the Depository and establishes
the terms and conditions dictating the
investment policies for the PHAs
deposits.
Inventory Removal Application
(HUD–52860). The purpose of the
Inventory Removal Application (HUD–
52860) is to ensure PHAs comply with
the statutory and regulatory
requirements when removing public
housing projects and other real property
subsidized by HUD from their inventory
through various programs, including
Sections 18, 22, 33, 32 of the 1937 Act
and eminent domain settlement
agreements and retentions under 2 CFR
200.311. This application and approval
process also ensures an accurate and upto-date building and unit count for the
PHA. HUD uses the PHA’s inventory of
buildings and units for various
purposes, such as funding and property
inspections. This collection modifies
this form to make it a better-tailored
‘‘global’’ form that applies to all removal
actions. It is required in addition to the
addendum related to the specific
removal program.
Demolition/Disposition Addendum
(HUD–52860–A). This collection adds
this new addendum to specifically
address the requirements of 24 CFR part
970 for demolition and disposition
removals. These requirements were
previously included in the global HUD–
52860.
Total Development Cost (TDC) and
Rehab Cost Estimate Addendum (HUD–
52860–B). This information is required
for all Inventory Removal Applications
that propose a demolition under 24 CFR
970.15 or a disposition under 24 CFR
970.17 based on physical obsolescence.
This collection makes formatting and
instructional changes and refers users to
the applicable HUD notice for more
guidance.
Homeownership Addendum (HUD–
52860–C). This information is required
for all Inventory Removal Applications
that propose a homeownership program
under 24 CFR part 906. This collection
makes formatting, instructional and
other changes to provide clearer
direction and to ensure PHAs are fully
complying with the requirements of 24
CFR part 906.
Required Conversion Addendum
(HUD–52860–D). This information is
required for all Inventory Removal
Applications that propose a required
conversion under 24 CFR 972-Subpart
A. This collection makes minor
formatting, instructional and other
changes to provide clearer direction and
to ensure PHAs are fully complying

PO 00000

Frm 00052

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

42107

with the requirements of 24 CFR part
972 Subpart-A.
Voluntary Conversion Addendum
(HUD–52860–E). This information is
required for all Inventory Removal
Applications that propose a required
conversion under 24 CFR 972-Subpart
B. This collection makes minor
formatting, instructional and other
changes to provide clearer direction and
to ensure PHAs are fully complying
with the requirements of 24 CFR part
972 Subpart-B.
Eminent Domain Addendum (HUD–
52860–F). This information is required
for all Inventory Removal Applications
that propose settlement agreement (in
lieu of court proceedings) for public
housing projects and other public
housing property that taking entity
proposes to condemn through eminent
domain proceedings under applicable
state law. This collection makes minor
formatting, instructional and other
changes to provide clearer direction and
to ensure PHAs are fully complying
with the requirements of PIH Notice
2012–8.
Retention Addendum (HUD–52860–
G). This collection adds a new form that
applies to PHAs who are requesting to
retain certain public housing property
in accordance with 2 CFR 200.311(c)
and PIH Notice 2016–20.
Notification of Closeout or Future
Public Housing Development (HUD–
5837). This collection adds a new form
that applies to PHAs who are intending
to remove all dwelling units in their
portfolio from their inventory. This is
notification to HUD of a PHA’s intention
to either closeout from the public
housing program or develop new public
housing units. Such removal may be
through any available law or HUD
program, which may include Sections
18, 22, 33, 32 of the U.S. Housing Act
of 1937 or the Rental Assistance
Demonstration (RAD) program). This
form will alert HUD about its future
plans for either termination of the
public housing ACC or development of
new dwelling units. HUD will use this
information to provide targeted
technical assistance, to ensure HUD has
an accurate database of federal public
housing inventory and assets, and to
monitor PHA compliance with the ACC
and applicable federal laws and
regulations.
Capital Fund Program Amendment to
the ACC (HUD–52840–A). This form
amends a PHA’s ACC each time HUD
provides Capital Fund Program (CFP)
assistance to a PHA for capital and
management activities of PHA
developments. This collection amends
this form to change its format from PDF/
Word to Excel only.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Requirements for Designating Housing
Projects.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0192.
Type of Request: Revision of a
previously approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The
information collection burden
associated with designated housing is
required by statute. Section 10 of the
Housing Opportunity and Extension Act
of 1996 modified Section 7 of the U.S.
Housing Act of 1937 to require Public
Housing Agencies (PHAs) to submit a
plan for designation for HUD approval
before a project(s) can be designated as
either elderly only, disabled only, or
elderly and disabled. In this plan, PHAs
must document why the designation is
needed and provide the following
information:
1. Description of the designated
housing plan;
2. Justification for the designation;
3. Availability of alternative housing
resources for the non-designated
population(s);
4. Impact on the availability of
accessible housing;
5. A statement that existing tenants in
good standing will not be evicted;
6. A statement of the resources that
will be made available if the PHA offers
voluntary relocation benefits; and
7. Information describing how the
DHP is consistent with any outstanding
court orders, lawsuits, investigations,
Voluntary Compliance Agreements
(VCAs), or Letters of Finding.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
State, or Local Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
39.
Estimated Number of Responses: 1.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Average Hours per Response: 15
hours.
Total Estimated Burdens: 585 hours.
The previous estimation of 375
annual burden hours has been increased
to 585. This change is based on the
number of Plans submitted in Calendar
Year 2016, and the expectation that the
number of respondents will continue to
increase based on the upward trend in
senior demographics and the increased
use of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
(LIHTC) to finance mixed developments
that include senior units by Public
Housing Agencies (PHAs).
