Commissioner; Notice of Proposed Information Collection for Public
Comment
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department
is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.
DATES: Comments due: January 29, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding
this proposal. Comments should refer to the proposal by name and/or OMB
Control Number and should be sent to: Mr. Oliver Walker, Office of
Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Room 9116, 451
7th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20410.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane E. Luton, Telephone number (202)
708-2556; extension 2537 (this is not a toll-free number) for copies of
the proposed forms and other available documents.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed
information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).
The Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2)
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (3) Enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond;
including through the use of appropriate automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
This Notice also lists the following information:
Title of Proposal: 24 CFR, Part 889 Section 202 Supportive Housing
for the Elderly--Capital Advance Program and 24 CFR, Part 890
Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities--Capital Advance
Program.
OMB Control Number: 2502-0470.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Section 202 program, amended by Section 801 of the National Affordable
Housing Act (NAHA) of 1990, provides capital advances to private
nonprofit organizations and nonprofit consumer cooperatives to expand
the supply of supportive housing for the elderly. Section 811 of the
NAHA created a new capital advance program for the development of
supportive housing for persons with disabilities. In order to ensure
that viable projects are developed, it is important to obtain
information from applicants to assist HUD in determining if nonprofit
organizations initially funded continue to have the financial and
administrative capacity needed to develop a project and whether the
project design meets the needs of the residents. These factors are
critical in meeting statutory requirements, assuring the continued
marketability of the projects, and protecting the Department's
financial interest (both in developing projects within cost limits and
achieving economical subsidy costs) in projects funded under these
programs.
Agency form numbers: FHA-2476A, HUD-90164CA, HUD-90165CA, HUD-

90163CA, HUD-90732A-CA and HUD-92531A-CA.
Members of affected public: An estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information collection is 11,225 and the
frequency of responses is 1. A summary of the number of respondents and
the hours of responses is as follows:
