SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to announce the OMB approval

and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit directing HUD to 
implement the federalization mandate of section 519, HUD will notify 
all eligible Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) in the state of New York 
that they may request the Department federalize their State and locally 
developed public housing units. Eligible PHAs will submit to HUD 
information for those units to be included under the Federal public 
housing program.
