SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting 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).
    This 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 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: Multifamily Contractor's/Mortgagor's Cost 
Breakdowns and Certifications.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0044.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Contractors use the form HUD-2328 to establish a schedule of values of 
construction items on which the monthly advances or mortgage proceeds 
are based. Contractors use the form HUD-92330-A to convey actual 
construction costs in a standardized format of cost certification. In 
addition to assuring that the mortgage proceeds have not been used for 
purposes other than construction costs, HUD-92330-A further protects 
the interest of the Department by directly monitoring the accuracy of 
the itemized trades on form HUD-2328. This form also serves as project 
data to keep Field Office cost data banks and cost estimates current 
and accurate. HUD-92205A is used to certify the actual costs of 
acquisition or refinancing of projects insured under Section 223(f) 
program.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-2328, HUD-92330-A, HUD-
92205-A.
    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 number of burden hours is 3,680. 
The number of respondents is 675, the number of responses is 675, the 
frequency of response is on occasion, and the number of burden hours 
per response is 5.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of 
currently approved collection.

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

    Dated: August 7, 2009.
Ronald Y. Spraker,
Acting General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing--Deputy Federal 
Housing Commissioner.
