SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Voucher Management System (VMS), 
Section 8 Budget and Financial Forms.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0282.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, without change, of a previously 
approved collection.
    Form Number: Financial Forms: HUD-52672, 52681, 52681-B, 52663 and 
52673. Originally, the HCV Financials were included in OMB Collection 
2577-0169. Regulatory References 982.157 and 982.158. PHAs that 
administer the HCV program are required to maintain financial reports 
in accordance with accepted accounting standards in order to permit 
timely and effective audits. The HUD-52672 (Supporting Data for Annual 
Contributions Estimates Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program) 
and 52681 (Voucher for Payment of Annual Contributions and Operating 
Statement Housing Assistance Payments Program) financial records 
identify the amount of annual contributions that are received and 
disbursed by the PHA and are used by PHAs that administer the five-year 
Mainstream Program, MOD Rehab, and Single Room Occupancy. Form HUD-
52663 (Suggested Format for Requisition for Partial Payment of Annual 
Contributions Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program) provides 
for PHAs to indicate requested funds and monthly amounts. Form HUD-
52673 (Estimate of Total Required Annual Contributions Section 8 
Housing Assistance Payments Program) allows PHAs to estimate their 
total required annual contributions. The required financial statements 
are similar to those prepared by any responsible business or 
organization.
    The automated form HUD-52681-B (Voucher for Payment of Annual 
Contributions and Operating Statement Housing Assistance Payments 
Program Supplemental Reporting Form) is entered by the PHA into the 
Voucher Management System (VMS) on a monthly basis during each calendar 
year to track leasing and HAP expenses by voucher category, as well as 
data concerning fraud recovery, Family Self-Sufficiency escrow 
accounts, PHA-held equity, etc. The inclusion, change, and deletion of 
the fields mentioned below will improve the allocation of funds and 
allow the PHAs and the Department to realize a more complete picture of 
the PHAs' resources and program activities, promote financial 
accountability, and improve the PHAs' ability to provide assistance to 
as many households as possible while maximizing budgets. In addition, 
the fields will be crucial to the identification of actual or incipient 
financial problems that will ultimately affect funding for program 
participants. The automated form HUD-52681-B is also utilized by the 
same programs as the manual forms.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Voucher Management System (VMS) supports the information management 
needs of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program and management 
functions performed by the Financial Management Center (FMC) and the 
Financial Management Division (FMD) of the Office of Public and Indian 
Housing and the Real Estate Assessment Center (PIH-REAC). This system's 
primary purpose is to provide a central system to monitor and manage 
the Public Housing Agency (PHAs) use of vouchers and expenditure of 
program funds, and is the base for budget formulation and budget 
implementation. The VMS collects PHAs' actual cost data that enables 
HUD to perform and control cash management activities; the costs 
reported are the base for quarterly HAP and Fee obligations and advance 
disbursements in a timely manner, and reconciliations for overages and 
shortages on a quarterly basis.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): Public Housing Authorities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,110.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 28,960.
    Frequency of Response: Monthly.
    Average Hours per Response: 1.5.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 57,540.
