Title of Proposal: How’s HUD Doing 

in 2005? A HUD Partners Survey. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD’s 

Annual Performance Plan requires the 

Department to measure the satisfaction 

level of its partners. A baseline 

satisfaction survey was conducted and 

published in 2001. This proposed effort, 

a follow-up to the 2001 study, is a 

survey of the people and organizations 

HUD works with to implement its 

programs, in particular: local 

governments, housing agencies, 

community development departments, 

fair housing agencies, multi-family 

housing entities, and nonprofit housing 

organizations. 

Members of affected public: Members 

of the following groups will be 

surveyed: local elected officials, city 

and county community development 

department directors, public housing 

authority directors, owners of HUDassisted multifamily housing properties, 

directors of nonprofit organizations, and 

fair housing agency directors. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: Approximately 2,500 

partners will be surveyed on a one-time 

basis. Consistent with the baseline 

study, each survey is expected to take 

19 minutes. Total burden hours are 792. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Pending OMB approval.

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 

as amended.

Dated: November 4, 2004.
