Title of Proposal: Moving to Work Demonstration.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0216.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use. The
MTW Demonstration was authorized under Section 204 of the Omnibus
Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-
134, 110 Stat 1321), dated April 26, 1996. The MTW Demonstration
initially permitted up to 30 PHAs to participate in the demonstration
program. Nineteen PHAs were selected for participation in the MTW
demonstration in response to a HUD Notice published in the Federal
Register on December 18, 1996 and five of the 30 slots were filled
through the Jobs-Plus Community Response Initiative. The 2009 and 2010
appropriations allowed HUD to add six additional PHA to participate in
the MTW Demonstration. As part of HUD's 2009 budget appropriation
(Section 236, title II, division I of the Omnibus Appropriations Act,
2009, enacted March 11, 2009), Congress directed HUD to add three
agencies to the MTW program. As part of HUD's 2010 budget appropriation
(Section 232, title II, division A of the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2010, enacted December 16, 2009), Congress authorized HUD to add
three agencies to the MTW demonstration.
All public housing authorities (PHA) are required to submit a five
(5) year plan and annual plans as stated in Section 5A of the 1937 Act,
as amended; however, for PHAs with specific types of Moving to Work
(MTW) demonstration agreements (33 at the time of submission of this
request) the
[[Page 28241]]
MTW annual plan and annual report are submitted in lieu of the standard
annual and 5 year PHA plans.
Revisions are being made to the 50900 form to streamline the Plan
and Report submission process to increase the accuracy of data
collection for the demonstration. Further, the form has been revised so
that the respondents are not asked to provide duplicated information to
the Department.
Agency form number, if applicable: HUD-50900.
Members of affected public: Public housing agencies that
participate in the Moving to Work demonstration.
Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents: The estimated
number of respondents is 36 PHAs that submit annual MTW Plans and
Reports. The total reporting burden is 4,320 hours.
Status of the proposed information collection: Revision to
currently approved collection.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: May 3, 2011.
Merrie Nichols-Dixon,
Deputy Director for Office of Policy, Programs, and Legislative
Initiatives.
