Abstract: HUD created the Energy and Performance Information Center ("EPIC") data system to track the amount and types of Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) being implemented within Public Housing units. This revision expands the data collected to include the amount and type of Public Housing development, including development in conjunction with Low Income Housing Tax Credits; other planning collections and performance reports presently collected in hard copy; the Physical Needs Assessment; and modernization undertaken by PHAs through Energy Performance Contracts. The EPIC data system is necessary in order to support the Department's Agency Performance Goals (APGs), specifically APG # 4, Measure # 13 which sets numeric targets for completing green retrofits and creating energy efficient units. In addition to the direct support of HUD APG # 4, Measure # 13, the implementation of the EPIC data system will enable HUD to provide reports on the progress of EEMs completed with PIH funding. The EPIC data system will also improve PHA planning by making the five year plan and annual statement process electronic and also enabling HUD to aggregate this information in order to track APG # 2, Measure # 5, which sets goals for expanding the number of families housed. The EPIC data system will also allow improved tracking of the Energy Performance Contract process and will include the Physical Needs Assessment tool.

Short Statement: This is an expansion of a previously approved collection. The modules related to the Five Year Action Plan, the Annual Plan, the P&E, the RHF plan, the EPC, the Public Housing Development, and Mixed Finance Early Warning, discussed in substance throughout this document, are being incorporated in the EPIC data system. As such, the hourly burdens for those modules reported in response to Item 12 are new and reflect the entire change in reporting burden from the currently approved collection under this revision. The Department is also amending the title of the collection. Previously, the collection was titled the "Capture Energy Efficiency Measures for PIH." During production, the Department renamed the system the "Energy and Performance Information Center" because the earlier name was narrower than the actual scope of the data to be collected, which was better reflected in the new name.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $7,124,111
