centralized mailbox or website would 

not be a practical method of submission. 

Submission of protest information 

through contracting officers’ email or 

through facsimile are the best methods 

to use to document receipt of protest 

information, and are the methods most 

commonly used in the Government 

protest process. This information 

collection may involve small business 

contractors, depending on the particular 

transaction. The burden applied to 

small businesses is minimal and 

consistent with the goals of achieving 

timely resolution of agency protests. 

This information is collected only when 

contractors choose to file a protest to the 

agency. The information is requested 

from contractors so that the Government 

will be able to evaluate protests 

effectively and provide prompt 

resolution of issues in dispute when 

contractors file such claims. 

DHS/ALL/PIA–006 General Contact 

Lists covers the basic contact 

information that must be collected for 

DHS to address these protests. The other 

information collected will typically 

pertain to the contract itself, and not 

individuals. However, all information 

for this information collection is 

submitted voluntarily. Technically, 

because this information is not retrieved 

by personal identifier, no SORN is 

required. However, DHS/ALL–021 DHS 

Contractors and Consultants provides 

coverage for the collection of records on 

DHS contractors and consultants, to 

include resume and qualifying 

employment information. There is no 

assurance of confidentiality provided to 

the respondents. 

The burden estimates provided in 

response to Item 12 above are based 

upon the Department’s findings in its 

FY 2022 Procurement Line of Business, 

Operational Status Report. No program 

changes have occurred or changes to the 

information being collected, however, 

the burden was adjusted to reflect an 

agency adjustment increase of 33 

respondents within DHS for Fiscal Year 

2022, as well as an increase in the 

average hourly wage rate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on July 14, 2023 at

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 2024 

Rental Housing Finance Survey. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–0276. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Rental Housing Finance Survey (RHFS) 

provides a measure of financial, 

mortgage, and property characteristics 

of rental housing properties in the 

United States. RHFS focuses on 

mortgage financing of rental housing 

properties, with emphasis on new 

originations for purchase-money 

mortgages and refinancing, and the 

characteristics of these new 

originations. 

The RHFS will collect data on 

property values of residential structures, 

characteristics of residential structures, 

rental status and rental value of units 

within the residential structures, 

commercial use of space within 

residential structures, property 

management status, ownership status, a 

detailed assessment of mortgage 

financing, and benefits received from 

Federal, state, local, and nongovernmental programs. 

Many of the questions are the same or 

similar to those found on the 1995 

Property Owners and Managers Survey, 

the rental housing portion of the 2001 

Residential Finance Survey, and 

previous collections of the Rental 

Housing Finance Survey. This survey 

does not duplicate work done in other 

existent HUD surveys or studies that 

deal with rental units’ financing. 

Policy analysts, program managers, 

budget analysts, and Congressional staff 

can use the survey’s results to advise 

executive and legislative branches about 

the mortgage finance characteristics of 

the rental housing stock in the United 

States and the suitability of public

policy initiatives. Academic researchers 

and private organizations also will 

utilize the data to facilitate their 

research and projects. 

The Department of Housing and 

Urban Development (HUD) needs the 

RHFS data for the following two 

reasons: 

1. This is the only source of 

information on the rental housing 

finance characteristics of rental 

properties. 

2. HUD needs this information to gain 

a better understanding of the mortgage 

finance characteristics of the rental 

housing stock in the United States to 

evaluate, monitor, and design HUD 

programs. 

Respondents: Owners and managers 

of rental properties.

(5) ways to minimize the burden of

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
