The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for collecting information about public housing agencies contracting with resident-owned businesses. This document outlines the need for public comment over a period of 60 days regarding these information collection procedures. HUD wants feedback on whether the information collection is necessary, the accuracy of the estimated burden, and ways to improve the process while reducing the burden. The notice also details compliance requirements for contracts with resident-owned businesses and the associated costs in terms of hours and financial impact on public housing agency staff.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Housing and Urban Development wants to know what people think about their plan for how public housing groups work with businesses owned by the people living there. They're asking if what they're doing is helpful and how they can make it better without making it too hard for anyone.
