Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions

A. Justification:

Why is this information necessary?

Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C., 1437q, authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to make annual contributions to the public housing agencies (PHAs) and implement the grant program under the Capital Fund Program (CFP) for capital improvements for the existing low-income projects and construction of public housing units. As the units get old, they need modernization in order to bring them up to the standard that would provide healthy living environments to the low-income residents. Therefore, the PHAs rely on HUD’s annual CFP contribution to maintain the healthy standard living in the public housing developments.

On October 21, 1998, Congress enacted the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (P.L. 195-276, approved October 21, 1998) (referred to as the “Public Housing Reform Act”). The Public Housing Reform Act made sweeping changes to HUD’s public and assisted housing programs. Among other changes, Section 519 of the Public Housing Reform Act amended Section 9 of the 1937 Act. Section 9, as amended, establishes a capital fund for making assistance available to the PHAs or modernization and new construction of public housing (referred to as the “Capital Fund Program”). HUD regulations implementing Section 9 are found in 25 CFR 968 and 24 CFR 941. Section 535 of the Public Housing Reform Act amended Section 24 of the 1937 Act. Section 24, as amended, authorizes competitive public housing funded grants to demolish severely distressed public housing and revitalize the public housing site and surrounding area through the development of replacement public housing and non-public housing units (referred to as the “HOPE VI Program”). In addition, on December 16, 2003, Congress enacted the HOPE VI Reauthorization and Small Community Main Street Rejuvenation Act of 2003. This expanded the use of HOPE VI appropriated public housing funds to assist small units of local government in developing affordable housing that is related to Main Street rejuvenation projects. HUD has no implementing regulations specifically for Section 24.

Section 539 of the Public Housing Reform Act allows PHAs to own, operate, or assist in the development of mixed-finance Projects, i.e., projects developed using a mixture of other public or private funds with the above Capital Fund Program and HOPE VI Program funds (“Mixed-Finance”). Along with public housing unit development using public housing funds, Mixed-Finance transactions are used to develop housing under both the Capital Fund Program and the HOPE VI Program. HUD regulations implementing Mixed-Finance are found in 24 CFR 941. In order to implement the Capital Fund Program and HOPE VI Program Mixed-Finance, HUD collects certain information from each PHA.

The information collection items in this request approved under OMB Control No. 2577-0157, Public Housing Capital Fund Financing is being revised. A proposed rule revises the current application process for participation in mixed-finance public housing development programs, including HOPE VI, to simplify and streamline the application, review and approval processes. HUD is also requesting the disaggregation of the Demolition and Disposition Application and Reporting portion of this as this collection. The Demolition and Dispositon Application and Reporting information collection will be reinstated under 2577-0075, which was discontinued in early 2006. The proposed desegregation will simplify requests and approvals for both HUD and OMB. .

2. How is this information to be used?

This information is collected to ensure that guidelines for standardized modernization and development will provide a healthy living environment to low-income residents.

The following types of information are included in this collection:

Outline Specifications Regulation 24 CFR 941 require that the architects provide this information for a project development proposal. This information is used by the Department to ensure that the specifications for a public housing development project are in accordance with the Minimum Property Standards and local and State codes.

Contract for Development of A/E Services and CIAP A/E Services Regulation 24 CFR Section 85.36 requires a contractual agreement between public housing agencies, owners, and an architect/engineer for design and construction services. The contracts themselves do not require either party to submit any materials to HUD. PHAs (grantees) enter into contracts with HUD for design and construction services in the development of public housing. The contracts are agreements between the parties that specific services will be provided. Since this is a contractual agreement both parties sign it.

Periodic Estimate for Partial Payment and Related Schedules This information is collected under the authority of Section 6(a) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and HUD regulations. Housing Agencies (HAs) are responsible for contract administration during project development. HAs must ensure project development work is completed in accordance with state laws and HUD requirements. The contractor/subcontractor reports provide summaries of payments, change orders, and schedules of materials stored for the project

Public Housing Construction Report PHAs are responsible for contract administration during project development and the hiring of architects or other persons licensed under the State law to assist and to advise them. Contract administration includes the submission of necessary information to the PHA by that advisor to monitor the status of construction.

Request for Approval of Public Housing Development of Mixed-Finance Development Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) must provide information to HUD before a proposal can be approved for development or mixed-finance development. Information on HUD-prescribed forms provides HUD with sufficient information to enable a determination that funds should or should not be reserved or a contractual commitment made. Regulations implemented in the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended an Part 941 subpart F require PHAs to submit a full proposal and evidentiary material for a mixed-finance development.

PHA Development Budget/Cost Statement, Actual Development Cost Certificate, Acquisition and Relocation Report HUD administrative requirements necessitate that PHAs maintain certain records or submit certain documents pertaining to the cost in the development of low-income housing. Sections 5 and 6(b)(2)(A)(4) of the US Housing Act are the statutory requirements for this collection.

Analysis of Proposed Main Construction Contract This information collection is under the authority of Section 6(a) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Under the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC), Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) must prepare and submit main construction contracts for projects being developed or proposed to be developed under the Low-Income Housing Program. Construction bids and budgets are submitted to HUD for review and approval prior to signing construction contracts. The information allows HUD and the PHAs to compare adjusted bid elements to the approved pre-bid estimate and to determine whether or not the amounts allocated to dwelling construction and equipment are within approval housing construction costs limits and whether or not the total development (TDC) is within the appropriate allowable limit.

Contract Administration – Public and Indian Housing Standard construction practices and HUD administrative and procurement requirements under 24 CFR Part 85.36(b) necessitate that PHAs and IHAs maintain certain records or submit certain documents in conjunction with the award or oversight of construction contracts for development of new low-income public housing developments or modernization of existing public housing developments.

Insurance Information Section 6(c)(4) requires that Housing Agencies comply with HUD procedures and requirements to assure that sound management practices will be followed in the operation of a public housing development. HUD regulations state that HAs must obtain certain types and amounts of property and casualty insurance to protect the funds, operations and property of each HA, as well as the Federal interest.

Demolition and Disposition Application and Reporting Authorized under 24 CFR Part 270 and Section 18 of the US Housing Act. PHAs apply to HUD's Special Application Center (SAC) in Chicago for approval for demolition or disposition of public housing properties. Once approved, PHAs report to the SAC when the action is complete. HUD is requesting the disaggregation of the Demolition and Disposition Application and Reporting portion of this as this collection. The Demolition and Dispositon Application and Reporting information collection will be reinstated under 2577-0075, which was discontinued in early 2006. The proposed desegregation will simplify requests and approvals for both HUD and OMB.

HAs Annual Lead-Based Paint Activity Report Authorized under 42 USC 4821-4856 and 24CFR Part 35 &965. Requires HAs to collect, maintain, and report information regarding lead-based paint testing and abatement activities.

General Conditions of PHAs Construction Contracts The General Conditions provide PHAs, contractors and subcontractors performance and compliance requirements for project construction under the conventional bid method and modernization.

Modernization of Public Housing Section 119 of the US Housing Act of 1937 authorizes the Comprehensive Grant Program to govern the modernization needs of larger HAs, subject to congressional approval of the allocation forms.

REVISION OF INFORMATION:

Request for Approval of Public Housing Development or Mixed-Finance Development Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) must provide information to HUD before a proposal can be approved for development or mixed-finance development. Information on HUD-prescribed forms and proposed required documents provides HUD with sufficient information to enable a determination that funds should or should not be reserved or a contractual commitment made. Regulations implemented in the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended an Part 941 subpart F require PHAs to submit a full proposal and evidentiary materials for a mixed-finance development. HUD is publishing a Proposed Rule that is intended to streamline HUD’s internal approval process. This Proposed Rule requires the PHA to submit to HUD specific Mixed-Finance legal documents (“evidentiaries”) and a Mixed-Finance certification that all HUD statutory and regulatory requirements will be implemented in the development of Mixed-Finance housing units. The Proposed Rule also requires that the PHA retain all evidentiaries that relate to other parties to the Mixed-Finance development, to be furnished to HUD as requested, on a case-by-case basis. Examples of these evidentiaries include private loan documents, investor agreements, etc.

3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information is automated?

HUD electronically collects public housing finance, inventory and development data from the PHAs through its Public Housing Information Center, an automated data entry/database system. This data is reported under other collection numbers throughout HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing. Some of this data is used by the Capital Fund Program to determine the amount of funding that each PHA should receive through annual formula grants. HUD is now requiring each PHA to certify to the accuracy and timeliness of the data that they submitted. This new certification is collected electronically.

An automated system, the Subsidy and Grant Information System, is currently under development. It will automate all financial forms. However, progress on the system is slow and may take a few years. In addition, new Capital Fund Program and Capital Fund Financing proposed rules are in Departmental Clearance. The Capital Fund rule will make major changes to the program. Until these rules become final, decisions cannot be made on which existing forms will be retained, changed or cancelled and on the specifics of information automation or. Therefore, realistically, automation is at least two years away.

4. Duplication of Information

This information is not being collected elsewhere. The information being collected is specific to current funding, therefore the information has no been previously collected.

5. Does the collection of information impact small businesses or other small entities?

This collection of information does not significantly impact small businesses or entities.

6. Describe the consequences to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently.

The Department would not be able to ensure that funds were distributed and used effectively if this collection was conducted less frequently. This collection ensures that participants act responsibly with the Program funds.

7. Explain any special circumstances

HUD-51001 and HUD-51002 are prepared more than 4 times because the payments to the contractors are usually on monthly basis. HUD-5378 is the construction report, which the architect or the inspecting personnel prepare after the inspection and these inspections are on monthly basis.

8. Identify the date and page number of the Federal Register notice soliciting comments on the information.

The Proposed Rule was published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2006. The Preamble includes a request for public comment on Paperwork Reduction.

9. Explain any payments or gifts to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.

No payments or gifts to respondents are provided.

10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents.

The information provided is not of a confidential nature.

11. Justify any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.

The information collected does not contain questions of a sensitive nature.

12. Annual Reporting Burden

The annual reporting burden hours are based on the experience and estimated amount of time that takes to report the requested information. For non-Mixed-Finance development, the number of respondents is based on the fact that there are 3,100 housing authorities nation-wide and all of these housing authorities receive funds from, and are subject to the requirements of, the Capital Fund program. In some cases the number of respondents is less than 3,100. These respondent numbers are based on HUD’s historic number of public housing or Mixed-Finance development projects that begin annually. All respondents are sub-sets of the 3,100 PHAs, except for approximately 5 homeownership and 5 mixed-finance projects per year, which are implemented by units of local government under a relatively small, annual set-aside of HOPE VI appropriated funds.

13. Additional Cost to Respondents

There are no additional costs to respondents other than what is reported in Item 12.

14. Annualized cost to the Federal Government

The estimated annualized cost to the Federal Government is based on the hourly rate of $44, the 2006 General Pay Scale for a GS 14 Step 1, which represents the staff of HUD’s Office of Public Housing Investments (OPHI). This office primarily administers the Capital Fund Program, and both administers and implements the Capital Fund Financing Program, and Mixed-Finance transactions for the Capital Fund, Capital Fund Financing, and HOPE VI Programs. OPHI has approximately 40 full-time employees that work on these programs. 40 x $44 x 2080 hours per year, equals $3,660,800.

There is no additional cost to the Government related to processing less complex Capital Fund public housing development, since such processing is included as part of standard Field Office staff work.

15. Explain any program changes or adjustments.

Adjustments:

1. The prior PRA submission, which conglomerated several older programs into the Capital Fund Program, 2577-0157, partially omitted existing mixed-finance and homeownership collections. The burden is adjusted for Documents #1, 2, and 3, above, by +4,080 hours, from 640 hours to 4,720 hours, and +$191,680.

2. The prior PRA submission also under reported the burden of complex Capital Fund Financing Program transaction forms. It included only the time to fill in the forms and did not include preparatory time. The per hour cost was set at $25, the wage for less complex work and has been raised to $44, the level for more complex work. Documents #28 through 33, above, had been reported at 142.5 hours and $3,563. They are now reported at 1,825 hours and $80,300. The burden is adjusted by +1,682 hours and $76,737.

3. The per hour costs have been increased since the last PRA submission to account for wage increases. Filing was estimated at $13 and is now estimated at $14 per hour. Non-complex Program Analyst wages have been increased from $25 to $26 per hour, and the wages for complex transactions have been changed from $40 to $44 per hour. This wage adjustment increased the collection cost by $347,627.

4. Documents #4 and 6, which had been cancelled and not reported in the previous PRA submission, are being reinstated. These documents increase the total burden by +3,850 hours and $100,100.

5. The previous PRA consolidated several collection numbers into one new number. Since that time, the forms from those various collection numbers have been reviewed. Several were found to request duplicate information and others were found to have been cancelled or still in existence, but not used. The removal of these forms decreases the total burden by -29,947 hours and -$1,268,712.

Revisions:

1. The collection revision for the Proposed Rule (Documents #42 through 46, above) increases the total burden by +682.5 hours and +$136,500.

2. A new electronic Document, #47, requires the PHAs to certify to the accuracy and timeliness of all Capital Fund Program related Public Housing Information Center data that is related to HUD’s determination of the PHAs’ Capital Fund annual formula grants. This increases the total burden by +6,200 hours and $161,200.

3. To disaggregate Demolition and Disposition Application and Reporting results in a reduction of –291 hours.

16. If the information will be published, outline plans for tabulation and publication.

The results of this information collection will not be published.
