  • Start Preamble

    AGENCY:

    Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.

    ACTION:

    Notice.

    SUMMARY:

    The proposed information collection requirement described below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Start Printed Page 33822review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.

    This survey provides HUD with a fast, inexpensive way to estimate Section 8 Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in areas not covered by the American Community Survey annual reports and in areas where FMRs are believed to be incorrect. The Department has used this random digit dialing (RDD) survey methodology for 15 years, as recently improved to offset low response rates. The affected public would be those renters surveyed and Section 8 voucher holders. The change in this reinstatement is to reduce the burden, because of fewer respondents.
