BILLING CODE 9110-04-P DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT [Docket No. FR-5603-N-83] Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB; Public Housing Mortgage Program and Section 30 AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal. Section 516 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (QHWRA) (Pub. L. 105-276, October 21, 1998) added Section 30, Public Housing Mortgages and Security Interest, to the United States Housing Act of 1937 (1937 Act) (42 U.S.C. 1437z-2). Section 30 authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD)to approve a Housing Authority's
(HA)request to mortgage public housing real property or grant a security interest in other tangible forms of personal property if the proceeds of the loan resulting from the mortgage or security interest are used for low-income housing uses. Public Housing Agencies
(PHAs)must provide information to HUD for approval to allow PHAs to grant a mortgage in public housing real estate or a security interest in some tangible form of personal property owned by the PHA for the purposes of securing loans or other financing for modernization or development of low-income housing. The title of the information collection has been changed to be more clearly descriptive of the range of transactions that would be reviewed under this collection for compliance with Section 30. There are several circumstances other than a mixed finance transaction that would potentially trigger this collection. For example, most recently Energy Performance Contract
(EPC)transactions that provide for a security interest in energy improvements have been reviewed for approval under Section 30. DATES: *Comments Due Date:* December 24, 2012. ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding this proposal.
