    This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection 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 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: Semi-annual Labor Standards Enforcement Report
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2501-0019
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: All 
Federal agencies administering programs subject to Davis-Bacon wage 
provisions are required by Department of Labor (DOL) regulations (29 
CFR Part 5, Section 5.7(b)) to submit a report of all new covered 
contracts/projects and all enforcement activities each six months. In 
order for HUD to comply with this requirement, it must collect contract 
and enforcement information from local and tribal agencies that 
administer HUD-assisted programs subject to Davis-Bacon requirements. 
(State agencies that administer HUD-assisted programs may report 
directly to DOL or may report through HUD, at the discretion of each 
state.) HUD requests that such agencies complete and submit a Semi-
annual Enforcement Report each six months.
    HUD and reporting agencies must retain a copy of the Semi-annual 
Enforcement Report in its files.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: Forms HUD-4710, HUD-4710i.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The estimated total number of hours 
needed to prepare the information collection is 10,000; the number of 
respondents is 5,000; the frequency of response is semi-annually; and 
the hours per response is 2. Recordkeeping requirements add an 
additional 2,500 hours for a total of 12,500 hours per year.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a 
currently approved collection.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: February 22, 2010.
Waite H. Madison,
Director, Office of Labor Relations.
