OMB Title: Section 8 Renewal Policy Guidebook
OMB Control Number: 2502–0587
Justification
Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary. Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a copy of the appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information.
The Section 8 Renewal Policy Guidebook explains the various options available under the Multifamily Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (MAHRA) for the renewal of expiring project-based section 8 contracts. The requirements associated with such renewals and related administrative policies make this collection of information necessary. There are six options, summarized below, each with its own eligibility requirements, among which an owner may choose, provided the contract is eligible. The renewal process results in issuance of a renewal contract that implements the statutory requirements relative to each of the six renewal options, which consist of the following:
Option One (Mark-Up-To-Market). Option One consists of Option One-A (Entitlement Mark-Up-to-Market) and Option One-B (Discretionary Mark-Up-to Market), which are authorized under section 524(a)(4)(A) and section 524(a)(4)(C) of MAHRA, respectively. For eligible contracts, renewal rents are established at market level under a renewal contract with a minimum five-year term.
Option Two (Contract Renewal for Other Projects with Current Rents at or Below Comparable Market Rents). Option Two is authorized under section 524(a)(4)(C) of MAHRA. For eligible contracts, renewal rents are adjusted by an operating cost adjustment factor or on the basis of a budget and are limited by the market level.
Option Three (Referral to the Office of Recapitalization (Recap)). Option Three is authorized under sections 514 and 515 of MAHRA. Projects subject to an FHA-insured or HUD-held mortgage for which the rents exceed the level of comparable market rents are eligible for Mark-to-Market (M2M) debt-restructuring, which is administered by Recap. An owner must submit a form HUD–9624 specifying either Option 3A (Reduction of Section 8 Rents to Comparable Market Rents without Restructuring (Lite)) or an Option 3B (Restructure of the Mortgage and Reduction of Section 8 Rents to Comparable Market Rents (Full)). An Option 3A election must include an RCS. An owner may be issued an interim M2M HAP Contract (form HUD–9640 or form HUD–9641) at the current above-market rents for up to 1 year while their renewal request is being processed.
Option Four (Renewal of Contracts for Exception Projects). Option Four is authorized under section 524(b)(1) of MAHRA. A project may establish eligibility for renewal under Option Four on the basis that (1) it is exempt from M2M debt-restructuring pursuant to section 515(h) of MAHRA or (2) it does not satisfy the definition of “eligible multifamily housing project” in section 512(2). Renewal rents are the lesser of existing rents as multiplied by the operating cost adjustment factor or budget-based rents without any market limitation.
Option Five (Renewal of Portfolio Reengineering Demonstration or Preservation Projects). Option Five is authorized under section 524(e)(1) (Preservation Projects) and section 524(e)(2) (Demonstration Projects) of MAHRA. Owners requesting a renewal of a Portfolio Reengineering Demonstration or Preservation Project must indicate on the form HUD–9624 whether the project has had either a mortgage restructuring and/or had the rents reduced to market. If the project is a Preservation Project as defined by the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act (LIHPRHA) or the Emergency Low Income Housing Preservation Homeownership Act (ELIHPA), the Owner must indicate such on the Contract Renewal Request form (form HUD–9624).
Option Six (Opt-Out). Instead of requesting renewal of a section 8 contract when it expires, an owner may opt out of the Section 8 program by complying with the notice requirement in section 8(c)(8) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and with related requirements in Chapter Eleven.

15. Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments reported in Items 13 or 14 of the OMB form 83-I.
This is a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired. As a result of the changes described below, the number of estimated respondents decreased from 27,384 to 21,765 (a reduction of 5,619), and the annual burden hours decreased from 25,638 to 10,501 (a reduction of 8,983).
The number of estimated respondents and the burden hours changed due to four factors:
Three forms (HUD–5988 (new), HUD–93185b; and HUD–9649a) were added to the collection;
One form (HUD–92273–S8) that is used in the Section 8 renewal process but was not previously included in the collection has been added;
Two forms (HUD–9631 and –9632) are obsolete and have been dropped;
The number of respondents and/or the burden hours per response were revised for 21 forms.
The three forms that were added to the collection are:
Assignment, Assumption, and Amendment of Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract (HUD–5988) (new): 3,555 respondents/1,778 annual burden hours
Amendment to Project-Based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Contract [Contract B] Pursuant to Section 8(bb)(1) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (HUD–93185b): 25 respondents/13 annual burden hours
Consent to Assignment of Senior Preservation Rental Assistance Contract (SPRAC) as Security for Financing (HUD–9649a): 50 respondents/50 annual burden hours
The form that is used in the Section 8 renewal process but was not previously included in the collection and has been added is:
Rent Comparability Grid (HUD–92273–S8): 950 respondents/950 annual burden hours
The two forms that were dropped from the collection are:
Owner Notification that it Will Not Renew Contract (HUD–9631): 1,000 respondents/500 annual burden hours; and
Owner Notification that it Will Renew Contract (HUD–9632): 800 respondents/400 annual burden hours.
