A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Enterprise Income Verification 
(EIV) Systems--Debts Owed to Public Housing Agencies and Terminations.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0266.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-52675.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: In 
accordance with 24 CFR 5.233, processing entities that administer the 
Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Moderate 
Rehabilitation, Project-based Voucher, Project-based Section 8, Section 
202 of the Housing Act of 1959, Section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez 
National Affordable Housing Act, Sections 221(d)(3) and 236 of the 
National Housing Act, and Section 101 of the Housing and Urban 
Development Act of 1965 Rent Supplement programs are required to use 
HUD's Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system to verify employment 
and income information of program participants and to reduce 
administrative and subsidy payment errors. The EIV system is a system 
of records owned by HUD, as published in the Federal Register on July 
20, 2005 at 70 FR 41780 and updated on August 8, 2006 at 71 FR 45066.
    The Department seeks to identify families who no longer participate 
in a HUD rental assistance program due to adverse termination of 
tenancy and/or assistance, and owe a debt to a Public Housing Agency 
(PHA). In accordance with 24 CFR 982.552 and 960.203, the PHA may deny 
admission to a program if the family is not suitable for tenancy for 
reasons such as, but not limited to: Unacceptable past performance in 
meeting financial obligations, history of criminal activity, eviction 
from Federally assisted housing in the last five years, family has 
committed fraud, bribery, or any other corrupt or criminal act in 
connection with a Federal housing program, or if a family currently 
owes rent or other amounts to the PHA or to another PHA in connection 
with a Federally assisted housing program under the U.S. Housing Act of 
1937.
    Within the scope of this collection of information, HUD seeks to 
collect from all PHAs, the following information:
    1. Amount of debt owed by a former tenant to a PHA;
    2. If applicable, indication of executed repayment agreement;
    3. If applicable, indication of bankruptcy filing;
    4. If applicable, the reason for any adverse termination of the 
family from a Federally assisted housing program.
    This information is collected electronically from PHAs via HUD's 
EIV system. This information is used by HUD to create a national 
repository of families that owe a debt to a PHA and/or have been 
terminated from a federally assisted housing program. This national 
repository is available within the EIV system for all PHAs to access 
during the time of application for rental assistance. PHAs are able to 
access this information to determine a family's suitability for rental 
assistance, and avoid providing limited Federal housing assistance to 
families who have previously been unable to comply with HUD program 
requirements. If this information is not collected, the Department is 
at risk of paying limited Federal dollars on behalf of families who may 
not be eligible to receive rental housing assistance. Furthermore, if 
this information is not collected, the public will perceive that there 
are no consequences for a family's failure to comply with HUD program 
requirements.
    Respondents: Public Housing Agencies.
