Title of Proposal: Survey of Market 

Absorption of New Multifamily Units. 

OMB Control Number: 2528–0013 

(Expires 11/30/2007). 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Survey of Market Absorption (SOMA) 

provides the data necessary to measure 

the rate at which new rental apartments 

and new condominium apartments are 

absorbed; that is, taken off the market, 

usually by being rented or sold, over the 

course of the first twelve months 

following completion of a building. The 

data are collected at quarterly intervals 

until the twelve months conclude, or 

until the units in a building are 

completely absorbed. The survey also 

provides estimates of certain 

characteristics, i.e., asking rent/price, 

number of units, and number of 

bedrooms. The survey provides a basis 

for analyzing the degree to which new 

apartment construction is meeting the 

present and future needs of the public. 

Additionally, beginning with new 

construction in 2002, the survey will 

attempt to ascertain the number and 

degree of services provided by ‘‘Assisted 

Living’’ type units. 

Members of affected public: Rental 

Agents/Builders. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

12,000 yearly (maximum). 

Estimated Time per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Four times 

(maximum). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 4,000 (12,000 × 20 minutes). 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

only cost to respondents is that of their 

time. 

Authority: The survey is taken under Title 

12, United States Code, Section 1701Z. 

Dated: March 16, 2007.
