A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: EIV System User Access 
Authorization Form and Rules of Behavior and User Agreement.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0267.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-52676 and HUD-52676-1.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: In 
accordance with statutory requirements at 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended 
(most commonly known as the Federal Privacy Act of 1974), the 
Department is required to account for all disclosures of information 
contained in a system of records. Specifically, the Department is 
required to keep an accurate accounting of the name and address of the 
person or agency to which the disclosure is made. The Enterprise Income 
Verification (EIV) System (HUD/PIH-5) is classified as a System of 
Records, as initially published on July 20, 2005, in the Federal 
Register at page 41780 (70 FR 41780) and amended and published on 
August 8, 2006, in the Federal Register at page 45066 (71 FR 45066).
    As a condition of granting access to the EIV system, each 
prospective user of the system must (1) request access to the system; 
(2) agree to comply with HUD's established rules of behavior; and (3) 
review and signify their understanding of their responsibilities of 
protecting data under the Federal Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 522a, as 
amended). As such, the collection of information about the user and the 
type of system access required by the prospective user is required by 
HUD to: (1) Identify the user; (2) determine if the prospective user in 
fact

[[Page 44314]]

requires access to the EIV system and in what capacity; (3) provide the 
prospective user with information related to the Rules of Behavior for 
system usage and the user's responsibilities to safeguard data accessed 
in the system once access is granted; and (4) obtain the signature of 
the prospective user to certify the user's understanding of the Rules 
of Behavior and responsibilities associated with his/her use of the EIV 
system.
    HUD collects the following information from each prospective user: 
Public Housing Agency (PHA) code, organization name, organization 
address, prospective user's full name, HUD-assigned user ID, position 
title, office telephone number, facsimile number, type of work which 
involves the use of the EIV system, type of system action requested, 
requested access roles to be assigned to prospective user, public 
housing development numbers to be assigned to prospective PHA user, and 
prospective user's signature and date of request. The information is 
collected electronically and manually (for those who are unable to 
transmit electronically) via a PDF-fillable or Word-fillable document, 
which can be emailed, faxed or mailed to HUD. If this information is 
not collected, the Department will not be in compliance with the 
Federal Privacy Act and be subject to civil penalties.
    Estimate Number of Respondents: 12,777.
    Estimate Number of Responses: 13,209.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.25.
    Total Estimated Burden: 10,724.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:

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

    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
