On
January 6, 2021 (86 FR 569) (FR Doc.
2020–29262), HUD issued a public
notice allocating a total of $85,291,000
in Community Development Block
Grant disaster recovery (CDBG–DR)
funds appropriated by the Additional
Supplemental Appropriations for
Disaster Relief Act, 2019 (the Act), for
the purpose of assisting in long-term
recovery from major disasters that
occurred in 2018 and 2019.
The January 6, 2021 notice stated that
under a separate notice HUD will
allocate additional funds available
under the Act for mitigation activities in
the most impacted and distressed areas
resulting from a major disaster that
occurred in 2018. The January 6, 2021
notice incorrectly listed the additional
mitigation funds as $185,730,000 and
the correct amount is $186,781,000.

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Under
the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D)
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request to review and approve
the information collection listed below.
All public housing authorities (PHA) are
required to submit a five (5) year plan
and annual plans as stated in Section
5A of the 1937 Act, as amended;
however, the 39 legacy MTW PHAs with
a Standard MTW Agreement must
submit an Annual MTW Plan and
Annual MTW Report (Form 50900) in
lieu of the standard PHA plan
documents.
The MTW Demonstration was
authorized under Section 204 of the
Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and
Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L.
104–134, 110 Stat 1321), dated April 26,
1996. The original MTW Demonstration
statute permitted up to 30 PHAs to
participate in the demonstration
program. Nineteen PHAs were selected
for participation in the MTW
demonstration in response to a HUD
Notice, published in the Federal
Register on December 18, 1996, and five
of the 30 slots were filled through the
Jobs-Plus Community Response
Initiative.
Additional MTW ‘slots’ have been
added by Congress over time through
appropriations statutes. Two PHAs were
specifically named and authorized to
join the demonstration in 1999 under
the VA, HUD, and Independent
Agencies Appropriations Act of 1999
(Pub. L. 105–276, 112 Stat. 2461), dated
October 21, 1998. A Public and Indian
Housing Notice (PIH Notice 2000–52)
issued December 13, 2000 allowed up to
an additional 6 PHAs to participate in
the MTW demonstration. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008
(Pub. L. 110–161, 121 Stat. 1844) added
four named PHAs to the Moving to
Work demonstration program.
Subsequent appropriations acts for
2009, 2010, and 2011 authorized a total
of 12 additional MTW slots. As part of
HUD’s 2009 budget appropriation
(Section 236, title II, division I of the
Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009,
enacted March 11, 2009), Congress
directed HUD to add three agencies to
the MTW program. As part of HUD’s
2010 budget appropriation (Section 232,
title II, division A of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2010, enacted
December 16, 2009), Congress
authorized HUD to add three agencies to
the MTW demonstration. In 2011,
Congress again authorized HUD to add

4112

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2021 / Notices

three MTW PHAs pursuant to the 2010
Congressional requirements.
A Standard MTW Agreement
(Standard Agreement) was developed in
2007 and was transmitted to the MTW
PHAs, in January 2008. As additional
MTW PHAs were selected, they too
were provided with the Standard
Agreement. As established by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016,
all 39 legacy MTW PHAs continue to
operate under the Standard Agreement,
which was extended to 2028.
MTW agencies have the flexibility to
apply fungibility across three core
funding programs’ funding streams—
public housing Operating Funds, public
housing Capital Funds, and HCV
assistance (to include both HAP and
Administrative Fees)—hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘MTW Funding.’’ Also,
the 39 legacy MTW PHAs are required
to submit an MTW Annual Plan and an
MTW Annual Report in accordance
with their MTW Agreement, in lieu of
the regular PHA annual and 5-year
plans.
Through the MTW Annual Plan and
Report, each legacy MTW PHA will
inform HUD, its residents and the
public of the PHA’s mission and
strategy for serving the needs of lowincome and very low-income families.
The Annual MTW Plan, like the PHA
Annual Plan, provides an easily
identifiable source by which residents,
participants in tenant-based programs,
and other members of the public may
locate policies, rules, and requirements
concerning the PHA’s operations,
programs, and services. Revisions are
being made to this Form 50900 to
improve its usability and to address
minor issues identified by HUD and the
39 legacy MTW PHAs over time,
including the following:
1. Simplification of information
submitted annually by the PHA.
2. Clarification and reimagining of the
information to be reported, annually,
that will lead to the ability to ‘‘tell the
story’’ of the Moving to Work
demonstration as a whole.
3. Addition of language regarding
unspent Operating and Voucher
Reserves to increase the transparency
locally and the planned use of the
funds.
4. Support and increase local
communities’ knowledge and
understanding of the MTW Program by
requiring the inclusion of the PHA’s
Hardship Policy as an appendix to the
MTW Annual Plan.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on October 9, 2020 (FR 7028–
N–06) and allowed 60-days for public
comment. The purpose of this 30-day

notice is to respond to public comments
received during the 60-day public
comment period on Form 50900 and to

Respondents (i.e. affected public): The
respondents to this PRA are the 39

December 15, 2015.

39.
Estimated Number of Responses:

reflecting the 39 PHAs. Each submission
is comprised of 7 sections each
requiring a response. All 7 sections are
completed with the first annual
submission (Plan), and 5 of the 7
sections are completed with the second
annual submission (Report). This results
in a total of 2 submissions per PHA,
across all 39 affected PHAs or 78 total
responses, that include 468 sections.
Average Hours per Response: 60
hours.
Total Estimated Burdens:
$261,799.20.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond; including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
(5) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those

of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.
