number via TTY by calling the Federal
Information Relay Service at (800) 877–
8339. Copies of available documents
submitted to OMB may be obtained
from Ms. Smith.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Energy and Performance Information
Center (EPIC).
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0274.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Numbers: N/A—all information
collected electronically through the
EPIC data system.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
EPIC data system automates the
previous paper collection of the Fiveyear Plan and Annual Statement/
Budget/Performance and Evaluation
(P&E) forms from grantees. These are
required forms that were previously
collected in hard copy on Forms HUD
50075.1 and HUD 50075.2 under
collection OMB control number 2577–
0157. These forms collect data on the
eventual, and actual use of funds.
Electronic collection will enable the
Department to aggregate information
about the way grantees are using Federal
funding. Tracking of the use of Federal
funds paid through the Public Housing
Capital Fund, the only Federal funding
stream dedicated to the capital needs of
the nation’s last resort housing option,
is crucial to understanding how the
Department can properly and efficiently
assist grantees in meeting this goal as
well as assessing the Department’s own
progress. EPIC also automates the
collection of signed documents required
by 24 CFR 905 in order to gain access
to funds awarded by HUD. These forms
are covered under other PRAs. Finally,
EPIC allows PHAs to request to use
additional funding sources, such as

Operating Funds, for capital fund
eligible activities.
The EPIC data system is equipped to
collect Physical Needs Assessment
(‘‘PNA’’) data, should this data be
required in the future. This data being
in the system coupled with the
electronic planning process would
streamline grantee planning. The EPIC
data system is equipped to collect
information about the Energy
Performance Contract (‘‘EPC’’) process,

The follow are the specific revisions
to the public burden by instrument:
1. The projected labor burden was
decreased for Core Activity due to
grantees becoming familiar with
navigating that aspect of the EPIC
system and because submissions after
the first reporting cycle for a grant will
be an update to the initial submitted
report and will require less labor to
complete. This reduced hours from the
collection 3,250 hours.
2. P&E Reports are no longer required
annually, reducing the number of
responses and hours by 7,025.
3. RHF data will no longer be
collected as that program is being
phased out of CFP, reducing the number
of collection hours by 25.
4. The Annual Statement/Budget total
number of responses dropped by 100
due to the total number of respondents
being lowered.
5. EPIC now collects copies of
documents previously submitted on
paper covered by CFP, Annual Plan and
ACC PRA adding collection hours of
2,800.
6. EPIC has added a way for PHA to
request to use additional capital
resources via EPIC, increasing collection
hours of 7.5.

including the energy efficiency
improvements. As the Department
moves to shrink its energy footprint in
spite of rising energy costs, clear and
comprehensive data on this process will
be crucial to its success. The EPIC data
system is equipped to track
development of public housing with
Federal funds and through other means,
including mixed-finance development.
