Re: Reporting Public Housing Agency Executive Compensation Information and
conducting comparability analysis. Notice issued August 26th, 2011.
HUD is requiring the Waterloo Housing Board to conduct a comparability
analysis in determining PHA executive director and the five most highly
compensated employees and certifying compliance with this requirement.
Previous HUD guidance call for PHAs to set executive compensation, for executive
directors, at a level within the range of that provided to comparable executive
employees (see, for example, section 2-1 of (Public and Indian Housing) PIH
Handbook 7401.7 (1987)). Consistent with this principle, while providing
maximum flexibility to PHAs, PHA Boards of Commissioners or equivalent
authorities should explicitly consider comparability in setting or making significant
changes to the compensation of PHA executive directors.
The specifics are up to each Board, and while PHAs normally need not provide the
specific information utilized for this purpose to HUD, they are required to retain
this information and provide it to HUD if requested in a particular case. It is
important that all PHA Boards of Commissioners and equivalent authorities
understand and implement these requirements. By executing the PHA Certification
of Compliance along with the PHA Plans and Related Regulations to accompany
the PHA 5-year and annual PHA Plan
Penalty for PHA non-compliance. In the event that a PHA fails to: (1) comply
with the PHA executive compensation reporting requirements; or (2) provide HUD,
upon its request, with the specific information used by the PHA to conduct a
comparability analysis in determining executive director compensation, HUD may
impose temporary monetary sanctions on the PHA, pursuant to Section 6(j)(4) of
the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
Background. As stated in recent public notices published in the Federal Register
(i.e., 76 FR 23330 and 76 FR 40741), Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) that
administer HUD -assisted public housing and housing choice voucher programs will
be required to report
CITY WEBSITE: www.cityofwaterlooiowa.com

to HUD annually the compensation provided to each of their five highest
compensated employees, which will then be posted on HUD's website with job
titles but without employee names. This will serve as a valuable transparency and
oversight tool and a point of comparison for local PHA boards in determining
appropriate compensation levels. To that end, all PHA boards will also be required
to conduct comparability analyses when determining executive director
compensation levels and certify that such an analysis has been performed.
The Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners or other authorized PHA official
will certify that the PHA has complied with the comparability analysis
requirements, as they certify their compliance with all Federal requirements.
The Waterloo Housing Authority is requesting the board's approval to
conduct a salary survey annually of the five most highly compensated
employees and submit outcome to HUD on a form conducive to HUD
requirement.

NOTICE: PIH-2011-48 (HA)
Issued: August 26, 2011
Expires: Effective until amended,
superseded, or rescinded
Cross References:
76 FR 23330
76 FR 40741
Subject: Guidance on Reporting Public Housing Agency Executive Compensation
Information and Conducting Comparability Analysis
1. Background. As stated in recent public notices published in the Federal Register
(i.e., 76 FR 23330 and 76 FR 40741), Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) that administer HUD -
assisted public housing and housing choice voucher programs will be required to report to HUD
annually the compensation provided to each of their five highest compensated employees, which
will then be posted on HUD's website with job titles but without employee names. This will
serve as a valuable transparency and oversight tool and a point of comparison for local PHA
boards in determining appropriate compensation levels. To that end, all PHA boards will also be
required to conduct comparability analyses when determining executive director compensation
levels and certify that such an analysis has been performed.
2. Purpose. This notice: (1) provides information and guidance on Form HUD-52725
to be used by PHAs to report executive compensation and explains its required use; and (2)
explains how PHAs are to conduct comparability analyses with respect to compensation
provided to executive directors and certify that they have done so.
3. Applicability. The requirements in this notice apply to all PHAs that administer a
public housing or housing choice voucher program, except for PHAs that operate a housing
choice voucher program only and receive less than 50 percent of their funding for employees
from HUD (this includes all HUD programs). Exempt PHAs are requested but not required to
submit the compensation information.
4. Reporting PHA executive compensation using Form HUD-52725. In order to
determine operating subsidy eligibility under the public housing operating fund formula, PHAs
that operate HUD -assisted public housing are required to complete and submit annually a HUD-
52723 form. Beginning with the next distribution of the HUD-52723, which is projected to
occur in September 2011, an additional form, the Schedule of Positions and Compensation form,
HUD-52725, will be distributed along with the HUD-52723. PHAs that do not operate public
housing units and operate a housing choice voucher program only will also receive HUD-52725
forms at the same time. Attached to this notice are a HUD-52725 form and the accompanying
instructions, which are similar to the procedures utilized by the Internal Revenue Service to
collect information on the five most highly compensated employees of non-profit organizations
receiving federal tax exemptions.
5. Submissions. PHAs that operate public housing will be required to complete the
HUD-52725 form and submit it with their HUD-52723 form to their appropriate Field Offices.
PHAs that do not operate public housing units and operate a housing choice voucher program
only should complete and return the HUD-52725 form to their Field Office, even though they do
not complete the HUD-52723. These PHAs must follow the same submission schedule as PHAs
that operate public housing.
6. Conducting comparability analysis in determining PHA executive director
compensation and certifying compliance with this requirement. Previous HUD guidance and
sound administrative practice call for PHAs to set executive compensation, particularly for
executive directors, at a level within the range of that provided to comparable executive
employees (see, for example, section 2-1 of PIH Handbook 7401.7 (1987)). Consistent with this
principle, while providing maximum flexibility to PHAs, PHA Boards of Commissioners or
equivalent authorities should explicitly consider comparability in setting or making significant
changes to the compensation of PHA executive directors or other chief executive officers. As
determined by each Board, appropriate data as to comparability may include, for example,
independent compensation surveys and information concerning compensation provided to
comparable PHA executive directors, to comparable state and local public officials, and to
comparable private sector executives. The specifics are up to each Board, and while PHAs
normally need not provide the specific information utilized for this purpose to HUD, they are
required to retain this information and provide it to HUD if requested in a particular case. It is
important that all PHA Boards of Commissioners and equivalent authorities understand and
implement these requirements. By executing the PHA Certification of Compliance with PHA
Plans and Related Regulations to accompany the PHA 5-year and annual PHA Plan, the
Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners or other authorized PHA official will certify that the
PHA has complied with the comparability analysis requirements, as they certify their compliance
with all Federal requirements.
7. Penalty for PHA non-compliance. In the event that a PHA fails to: (1) comply with
the PHA executive compensation reporting requirements; or (2) provide HUD, upon its request,
with the specific information used by the PHA to conduct a comparability analysis in
determining executive director compensation, HUD may impose temporary monetary sanctions
on the PHA, pursuant to Section 6(j)(4) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Additionally, PHAs
that receive assistance under section 9 that fail to substantially comply with any provision of the
U.S. Housing Act of 1937 relating to the public housing program, may have withheld "amounts
allocated for the agency under section 8" (see 6(j)(4)(A)(v)), and may face other remedies
pursuant to HUD regulation. These provisions apply to MTW as well as non-MTW agencies.
8. Paperwork Reduction Act. The information collection requirements contained in
this document are approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 2501-3520. The OMB control number is 2577-
0272. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless the collection displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
