OMB Approval Number: 2502-0470.
OMB Expiration Date: May 31, 2020.

Form Number: HUD-: 2453.1-CA; 2554; 90163-CA; 90163.1-CA; 90164-CA; 90165-CA; 90166-CA; 90166a-CA; 90167-CA; 90169-CA; 90169.1-CA; 90170-CA; 90171-CA; 90172-A-CA; 90172-B-CA; 90173-A-CA; 90173-B-CA; 90173-C-CA; 90173-D-CA; 90176-CA; 90177-CA; 90178-CA; 90179-CA; 91732-A-CA; 92329; 92412-CA; 92433-CA; 92434-CA; 92435-CA; 92450-CA; 92466-CA; 92466.1-CA; 92476-A; 92476-A-CA; 92580-CA; 93432-CA; 93566-CA; 93566.1-CA; and 50080-CAH.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This submission covers documents that will permit the continued processing of all Sections 202 and 811 capital advance projects that have not yet reached final closing. For example this submission includes documents for processing of the application for firm commitment to final closing of the capital advance. These documents are needed to assist HUD in determining the Owner's eligibility and capacity to finalize the development of a housing project under the Section 202 and Section 811 Capital Advance Programs. The Office of the Inspector General had also requested additional required certification language. HUD is also adding a new standard form HUD-90173-D to facilitate the renewal of project rental assistance contracts (PRACs). The form HUD-90173-D will reflect long-standing contract amendment language with updates to accommodate availability of both 5-year and annual terms for Section 202 PRACs. The number of annual contract renewal amendments is expected to decrease for each of the next three years as additional properties switch from annual to five-year contracts. The Department also notes that PRAC contract renewal amendments may be executed utilizing DocuSign to obtain owner and HUD staff signatures. Finally, HUD has revised the form HUD-2554 to update contract provisions for Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements consistent with changes the Department of Labor (DOL) recently made to regulations at 29 CFR 5.5.
Respondents: Private non-profit 202 and 811 Capital Advance Sponsors, Private non-profit 202 and 811 Capital Advance Owners, and developers of Section 202 and 811 Capital Advance properties.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,860. (60 for new projects/5,800 renewing projects).
Estimated Number of Responses: 7,912. (2,112 for new projects/5,800 for renewing projects).
Frequency of Response: Occasion or Annual.
Average Hours per Response: 0.95.
Total Estimated Burden: 7,516.
