Title of Proposal: Calculation of Tenant Rents at Title VI
Preservation Projects--HUD-90012
OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0489
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Department requests extension of information collection required to
implement Title II of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987
and Title VI of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (The
Statutes). The Statutes instruct the Department on how to implement
rents resulting from a successful Plan of Action to maintain a
project's affordability. This rent structure was implemented by
regulation on September 21, 1990, and April 8, 1992 at CFR Part 248.
The Title VI project rent structure portion was modified by
appropriations action found in Public Law 103-327, dated September 18,
1994, which provided for incorporating provisions that necessitate
inclusion of a tenant payment standard for Lower Income Residents
receiving Section 8 assistance during FY 1995.
The interim rule includes one case of information collection. The
form will be used by owners to assist in calculating annual rent
payments made by each tenant residing in the property. The FY 1995
Appropriations changes to Lower Income Tenant rent payments remain in
effect as along as the Department funds under FY 1995 conditions.
Owners are currently required to recertify tenants annually using Form
HUD-50059. Form HUD-90012 amends the current recertification process to
meet program guidelines. Information on the form will also be used by
HUD field offices to monitor the owner's accurate calculation of these
rent payments.
Agency form number, if applicable: HUD-90012
Members of affected public: Approximately 161 owners of LIHPRHA
projects and approximately 54 ELIPHA projects located throughout the
Continental United States.
An estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the
information collection is 1,862, the number of respondents is 161,
frequency of response is 1, and the hours of response is 8.66.
Status of the proposed information collection: Extension with
change.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: June 10, 1996.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.
