SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Office 

of Housing Counseling—Agency 

Performance Review. 

OMB Approval Number: 2502–0574. 

OMB Expiration Date: March 31, 

2021. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD–9910, Office of 

Housing Counseling—Performance 

Review Of a HUD-Approved Housing 

Counseling Agency or Participating 

Agency. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

information is used to assist HUD in 

evaluating the managerial and financial 

capacity of organizations to sustain 

operations sufficient to implement HUD 

approved housing counseling programs. 

The collection of information assists 

HUD to reduce its own risk from 

fraudulent activities or supporting 

inefficient or ineffective housing 

counseling programs. Since HUD 

publishes a web list of HUD-approved 

Housing Counseling Agencies and 

maintains a toll-free housing counseling 

hotline, performance reviews help HUD 

ensure that individuals seeking 

assistance from these approved agencies 

can have confidence in the quality of 

services that they will receive. 

HUD uses performance reviews to 

ascertain the professional and 

management capacity of HUD-approved 

Housing Counseling Agencies to 

provide adequate housing counseling 

services that are necessary to comply 

with the requirements of the Housing 

and Urban Development Act and to 

ensure that grant funded organizations 

comply with HUD and OMB 

administrative and financial regulations. 

If this information is not collected, HUD 

would be unable to effectively monitor 

the Housing Counseling Program to 

guard against waste, fraud, abuse, or 

inappropriate program practices. This 

collection provides the means to meet 

that obligation. 

Respondents (i.e., affected public): 

Not-for profit institutions; State, Local, 

or Tribal Governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

353 annually. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 353 

annually. 

Frequency of Response: 1 per agency 

performance review. 

Average Hours per Response: 1 hour 

annually. 

Total Estimated Burden: 353 hours. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following: 

(1) 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) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to 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.
