It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov. The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov. The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in Section A. The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on September 15, 2025 at 90 FR 44389. A. Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA): Public Housing Waiting List Data Collection Tool. OMB Approval Number: 2577-0302. Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Form Number: None. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This collection of information implements a statutory requirement made by Section 103 of HOTMA, which was signed into law on July 29, 2016 (Pub. L. 114-201, 130 Stat. 782). Section 103 of HOTMA amends section 16(a) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437n(a)) (“1937 Act”). Section 16 of the 1937 Act now states that after a public housing family has been over-income for two consecutive years, a public housing agency (PHA) must either: (1) charge the over-income family a monthly rent that is the higher of fair market rent section 8(c) for the dwelling unit or the monthly amount of public housing subsidy provided for the dwelling unit; or (2) terminate the tenancy of the over-income family no later than 6 months after the end of the two-year period. Additionally, pursuant to the revised section 16(a), PHAs must submit an annual report on the number of over-income families residing in public housing and the number of families on the public housing waiting lists. Section 16(a) permits HUD to determine the format of these annual reports. HUD has elected to utilize income data already provided, when possible, as this will result in no additional burden to the PHA. Each PHA with a Public Housing program is required to submit the total number of families on their public housing waiting lists annually (starting with Calendar Year 2023 data) utilizing the electronic Public Housing Waiting List Data Collection Tool. PHAs will be allowed to use income data already provided by Form HUD-50058, under OMB approval number 2577-0083, which is submitted electronically in the Inventory Management System/PIH Information Center to satisfy the requirement to report the annual number of over-income families residing in public housing. Per the requirements of section 16(a) of the 1937 Act, HUD will consolidate the data provided and publish this information annually in a publicly available report. B. Solicitation of Public Comment This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected parties concerning the collection of information described in Section A on the following: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ( printed page 36877) (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to these questions. C. Authority Section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507.
