form HUD-52667 (12/97)

ref. Handbook 7420.8
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless that collection displays a valid OMB control number.
This collection of information is authorized under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f). The information is used to establish a
utility allowance schedule for all utilities and other services used to determine the family's monthly housing assistance payment and rental payment. HUD
will use this information to ensure that the costs are reasonable.
Instructions for Form HUD-52667, Allowances For Tenant
Furnished Utilities and Other Services
Form HUD-52667 shall be completed by a HA for each different type
of unit as explained below. Each form shall be reproduced by the HA
and given to families with their Certificate or Voucher or subse-
quently in connection with any revisions. The form will provide the
family, while shopping for a unit, with the amount of the allowances
for various types of units for rent. With these allowances the family
can compare gross rents and fair market rents. Form HUD-52667
shall also be used by the HA to record the actual allowance for each
family.
Level of Allowance: Utilities and other services are included in
gross rent, and when they are not furnished by the owner, an
allowance must be provided to the family. Allowances must be
adequate for all utilities and services not provided by the owner that
were included in the fair market rent. The utility allowance schedule
is based on the typical cost of utilities and services paid by
energy -conservative households that occupy housing of simi-
lar size and type in the same locality. In developing the schedule,
the HA must use normal patterns of consumption for the community
as a whole and current utility rates. Allowances must not be based
on energy consumption or costs above average or below average
income families. The objective shall be to establish allowances
based on actual rates and average consumption estimates and
should allow the majority of participating families an allowance that
is adequate to cover expected average utility costs and other
services over a 12-month period.
Determining Allowances:
a. In general, HAs shall use to the extent possible local sources
of information on the cost of utilities and services. The
following local sources should be contacted:
(1) Electric utility suppliers.
(2) Natural gas utility suppliers.
(3) Water and sewer suppliers.
(4) Fuel oil and bottle gas suppliers.
(5) Public service commissions.
(6) Real estate and property management firms.
(7) State and local agencies.
(8) Appliance sales or leasing firms.
b. Recently adopted utility allowance schedules from neighboring
HAs with essentially the same type of housing stock should
also be examined. Inmost cases fuel or utilities rates normally
will not vary appreciably in neighboring communities and
where data is not available in small communities allowances
for larger nearby communities may be used. Where local
sources are inadequate, the HA may consult the national
average consumption data provided in Table 1 and make
appropriate adjustments to reflect local conditions.
c. The HA must establish separate heating and cooling allow-
ances for the various types of existing housing in the locality
with the same number of bedrooms. Depending on local
housing stock, utility allowances must be established for the
following unit types: detached houses, duplexes, row or
townhouses, garden and high rise apartments and manufac-
tured homes. In addition to establishing different heating and
cooling allowances for various types of structures, attention
should be given to different allowances for water depending on
whether families will have responsibilities for lawn care.
d. The data to be solicited from the local sources shown above
should be as close as possible in form and detail to the format
of form HUD-52667. If possible, all consumption data should
be obtained for each unit size and type. If data is available only
for an average unit size (2.5 bedrooms), multiply the utilities
costs for the average unit by the following factors:
Size of Unit
Factor
0-BR
0.5
1-BR
0.7
2-BR
0.9
3-BR
1.1
4-BR
1.4
5-BR
1.6
Example: Natural gas heating cost for average sized unit is
$18.00 per month. The allowance for a 4-bedroom unit will be
1.4 X $18.00 = $25.00 (rounded to nearest dollar).
Air Conditioning: Allowances for air conditioning must be estab-
lished only for communities where the majority of units in the market
provide centrally air conditioned units or appropriate wiring for tenant
installed A/C units.
Ranges and Refrigerators: Allowances for ranges and refrigerators
must be based on the lesser of the cost of leasing or installment
purchasing of suitable equipment.
Utility Rate Schedules: The cost of gas and electricity varies
according to amounts consumed as shown on the appropriate rate
schedules. It is not possible to compute exactly the cost of electricity
for any given function without knowing the total electrical usage for
a unit. However, because neither the HA or the families know
beforehand just what will be the combination of utilities for any unit
rented, it will be necessary to approximate the allowances for each
function (e.g., heating cooking, etc.) as follows:
For electricity the rates used for lighting, refrigeration and appliances
(Table 1, Item 1), should be from the top of the rate schedule or the
higher unit costs. Allowances for electric cooking, water heating and
space heating should be computed from the middle or lower steps in
the rate schedules.
Similarly, allowances for gas used for water heating and cooking
should be computed using rates from the top of the rate schedule and
for heating from the lower steps.

ref. Handbook 7420.8
Supporting Documentation: The HA shall maintain with the form
HUD-52667 copies of all supporting documentation used in deter-
mining the allowances and any revisions. For instance, letters from
local utility companies shall be attached plus any worksheets used
by the HA in computing allowances. The material should contain, if
possible, the quantities of the utilities that are the basis of the dollar
allowances (e.g., kilowatt hours per unit. A copy of the utility
allowance schedule must be sent to the HUD Field Office.

(a) Estimated average consumption for a hypothetical 2 1/2
bedroom dwelling unit. All consumptions listed must be
adjusted for the size of the dwelling unit. Factors shown
under Determining Allowances, subparagraph d, may be
used for making the adjustment.
(b) Consumptions will vary considerably depending on electrical
appliances used. Upper limit should be sufficient to provide
85 kilowatt hours for a clothes dryer and 50 kilowatt hours for
a frost free refrigerator.
(c) The temperature of local water supply varies by geographic
area and will have considerable impact on energy used to
heat domestic water. This estimate is for North Central
geographic areas where the average city water temperature
is approximately 500 F.
(d) Consumptions are for housing insulated for the heating
system installed. Normally a building designed for electric
space heating is better insulated than one designed for gas
or oil space heating equipment. Climatic conditions as-
sumed to be 4,000 heating degree days and 0° F outside
design temperature. Consumption must be adjusted for the
normal heating degree days and the outside design tempera-
ture in the given geographic area.
(e) Consumption estimated for 1,000 degree days cooling. Ac-
tual consumption will depend on many variables.
Note: The consumption amounts listed above are inexact averages
and must be used with caution when establishing allowances for
actual projects.
