A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Agency Executive 
Compensation Information.
    OMB Approved Number: 2577-0272.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-52725.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: 
Pursuant to a notice issued annually

[[Page 23479]]

(most recently PIH Notice 2017-11), HUD collects information on the 
compensation provided by public housing agencies (PHAs) to its 
employees. More specifically, under this collection PHAs are to report 
the compensation paid to the top management official, the top financial 
official, and all employees who are paid an annual salary over the 
compensation cap imposed by Congress in HUD's annual appropriations 
(Level IV of the Executive Schedule). This reporting is similar to the 
information that non-profit organizations receiving federal tax 
exemptions are required to report to the IRS annually. Because PHAs 
receive significant direct federal funds HUD has been collecting 
compensation information to enhance regulatory oversight by HUD, as 
well as by state and local authorities. HUD provides the information 
collected to the public. The compensation data collected includes base 
salary, bonus, and incentive and other compensation, and the extent to 
which these payments are made with any Section 8 and 9 appropriated 
funds.
    Respondents (i.e., Affected Public): Public Housing Agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 4,000.
    Estimated Number of Responses: Approximately 4,000.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.
    Average Hours per Response: 30 minutes.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden and Cost: Total burden hours is 
estimated to be 2,000 hours annually. The total burden cost is 
estimated to be $46,280.

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
    (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.

    Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

    Dated: May 8, 2018.
