Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Public Housing Capital Fund Program Final Rule (24 CFR 905) was
published in the Federal Register October 24, 2013 (Docket No. 5236-F-
02) and was effective on November 25, 2013. The new Capital Fund Rule
de-coupled the capital funding annual performance and evaluation
reports (HUD form 50775.1) and 5-Year Action Plan (HUD Form 50075.2)
submissions that were formerly combined with the PHA Plan submissions.
The HUD-50075.1 and HUD-50075.2 Capital Fund Annual Statement/
Performance and Evaluation Report and 5-Year Action Plan forms and
associated burden hours (10,070) are being removed from the approval
for the PHA Plan under OMB no. 2577-0226 and added to the approval for
the Capital Fund Program under OMB no. 2577-0157. The revision to PHA
Plan information collection, OMB No. 2577-0226, is being submitted
concurrently with this submission. HUD is in the process of moving to
an electronic submission of the information collected with forms HUD-
50075.1 and HUD-50075.2 under the Activity Planning Module of the
Energy and Performance Information Center (EPIC) System. HUD began beta
testing of the Activity Planning Module in EPIC in August of 2015. Once
beta testing is complete, HUD will begin roll out of the submission of
the HUD-50075.1 and HUD-50075.2 data to EPIC in lieu of using the paper
forms for submission. The hours for the electronic collection of that
information will then be moved from Capital Fund Information
Collection, OMB No. 2577-0157 to the EPIC Information Collection--OMB
No. 2577-0274.
