  Greg Byrne, director of HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC), said he was unsure whether this guidance will apply to stop-loss agencies, but indicated that HUD will make a final determination prior to releasing the supplemental guidance.
  ...
  Byrne provided the following example: a PHA has a [central] Manager shared by 2 Asset Management Projects (AMP). The PHA determines that the proper ratio is 60 percent at AMP 1 and 40 percent at AMP 2. Sixty percent of the costs for that manager shows up on the "allocated overhead" line item of the FDS for AMP 1, and 40 percent of the costs for that manager show up on the "allocated overhead" line item of the FDS for AMP 2. There will be no separate column for "management," rather there will be an "allocated overhead" row on each operating statement.
  
  Byrne indicated that program funds attributed to "allocated overhead" may be subject to A-87 reviews, and that HUD will create guidance on how HUD will determine reasonable costs under the cost allocation method.
  
  Byrne also led a discussion regarding allowable expenditures under the capital fund. He noted that PHAs opting to use labor paid by the force account for capital work would have to charge actual expenses rather than fees for service. Byrne reiterated that housing authorities that opt to use any capital fund money for "management improvements" to the COCC must switch to the cost allocation system of accounting, even if the transfer occurs mid year.
  
  Finally, participants discussed new FDS reporting requirements. Byrne said that "HUD does not expect to change the currently available FDS, other than to add a line for 'allocated overhead.'" He went on to say that HUD has decided to allow PHAs to extend from 60 days to90 days to submit unaudited financials during the first year. He was not sure, however, whether HUD will require that unaudited financials be submitted within 90-days of the end of the fiscal year, or within 90-days of the date that the submission system is made available.
  
  One participant inquired about how PHAs can determine which projects should be reported, and which projects will get scored. Byrne mentioned that in the transition year, PHAs will not be scored on financials, and reiterated that a proposed rule, subject to industry comments, will be published regarding these questions. Byrne said that HUD will be holding training at headquarters once the FDS is finalized.
  
  Byrne said that he will meet with staff, circulate notes from the call with participants, and that he hopes to hold another such call prior to publishing final guidance

  These changes, said Greg Byrne, director of HUD's Financial Management Center, represent "a great simplification of what you're doing now. Said Byrne, "In the next year of so we can make tremendous progress on this."
  ...
  Byrne said that he would request a document from the HUD General Counsel making clear that a PHA's fee income is "unarguably your income.

  The combined actual cost of all business activities, that would have normally required managerial bookkeeping, or asset managment fees, should be included under one allocated overhead line for that AMP, said REAC Director Greg Byrne during a May 15 conference call with housing authorities and other industry representatives.
  
  Housing authorities do not need to have a line showing the cost for each business activity on the FDS, however, housing authorities should keep records detailing each cost if HUD should need to inquire about the amount charged to allocated overhead for a particular AMP, Byrne further suggested.

  "No one has officially failed," Greg Byrne, Director of HUD's Financial Management Center told the CLPHA summer Executive Director's meeting June 28. Instead, said Byrne, two authorities that submitted applications were informally told that they should withdraw them, polish them up, and resubmit them.
  
  Further, said Byrne and Orlando Cabrera, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing, HUD will work with agencies whose applications are rejected to identify shortcomings so the application can be successfully resubmitted.

  CLPHA | CLPHA Comments on Negotiated Rulemaking... - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 1/28/2004    Last Visited: 9/25/2009  

  Greg Byrne is the project director and one of the principal authors of the cost study. Mr. Byrne has considerable experience in public housing, both as an Executive Director and a consultant. He also has a clearly stated position that the study findings should be implemented as he has proposed. HUD's Notice states clearly that the negotiated rulemaking committee "provide advice and recommendations on developing a rule for effectuating changes to the Public Housing Operating Fund Program in response to the Harvard Cost Study. We think it inappropriate that the principal author of the study be a member of the committee negotiating how the cost study will be used to implement an allocation system. Instead, CLPHA believes that Mr. Byrne should participate in the negotiated rulemaking as a technical consultant and resource to the committee.
  
  We would anticipate that Mr. Byrne supervise any research and data manipulation that might be requested by the committee as they go about their task of developing an allocation formula. In this role we would expect that Mr. Byrne to provide additional or supporting materials requested by the members of the committee. (Most recently, for example, CLPHA has requested that GSD researchers provide the prediction intervals for each property in the public housing inventory, intervals that are critical to assessing the accuracy of the study's predictions of each property.) This role is entirely consistent with precedent of the Public Housing Capital Fund negotiated rulemaking.
  ...
  As we stated previously, this would be the appropriate role for Mr. Byrne.
