This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public
Housing Financial Management
Template.
OMB Approval Number: 2535–0107.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of a
previously approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: To meet
the requirements of the Uniform
Financial Standards Rule (24 CFR part
5, subpart H) and the asset management
requirements in 24 CFR part 990, the
Department developed financial
management templates that public
housing agencies (PHAs) use to
annually submit electronically financial
information to HUD. HUD uses the
financial information it collects from
each PHA to assist in the evaluation and
assessment of the PHAs’ overall
condition. Requiring PHAs to report
electronically has enabled HUD to
provide a comprehensive financial
assessment of the PHAs receiving
federal funds from HUD.
Respondents: Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs).
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping Burden: The average
burden hour estimate assumes that there
are 3,916 PHAs (Low Rent Only, Low
Rent and Section 8, and Section 8 only
PHAs) that submit one unaudited
financial management template
annually. The average burden hours
associated with an unaudited financial
management template is 6.4 hours
(25,015.5 total hours divided by 3,916
PHAs). There are 3,538 PHAs that are
required to or voluntarily submit an
audited financial management template
annually. The average burden hours
associated with an audited financial
management template is 4.2 hours
(14,705 total hours divided by 3,538
PHAs). When added together, the
average burden hours for a PHA that
submits both an unaudited and audited
financial management template is 5.3
hours, for a total reporting burden of
39,721 hours.
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.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.
