A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Section 8 Management Assessment 
Program (SEMAP).
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0215.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-52658.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: On an 
annual basis (or every two years for small agencies) PHAs are required 
to submit a SEMAP certification (form HUD-52648) electronically into 
the Information Management System/Public and Indian Housing Information 
Center (IMS/PIC). There is a maximum of 15 indicators that are either 
verified through PIC data or an on-site or off-site confirmatory 
review. HUD uses the PHA's SEMAP certification, together with other 
available data, to assess PHA management capabilities and deficiencies, 
and to assign an overall performance rating to each PHA administering a 
HCV program. HUD rates a PHA on each SEMAP indicator, completes a PHA 
SEMAP profile identifying any program management deficiencies and 
assigns an overall performance rating. A PHA's written report of 
correction of a SEMAP deficiency is used as documentation that the PHA 
has taken action to address identified program weaknesses. Where HUD 
assigns an overall performance rating of troubled, the PHA's corrective 
action plan is used to monitor the PHA's progress on program 
improvements.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): Public Housing Agencies.
