Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Flat Rent Exception Request Market Analysis. OMB Approval Number: Pending OMB approval. Type of Request: New Collection. Form Number: Under development. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The form will streamline the process and reduce burden on PHAs when submitting a market analysis as part of a flat rent exception request in accordance with Notice PIH 2015-13(HA), which implements Section 238 of Title II of Public Law 113-235, the Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act of 2015. Notice PIH 2015-13(HA) allows PHAs to request flat rents that are based on the local rental market conditions, when the PHA can demonstrate through a market analysis that the FMRs are not reflective of the local market. The current submission process does not stipulate a template for PHA submissions, therefore PHAs spend widely varying amounts of time and effort compiling information which may or may not facilitate HUD's review of their request.
