This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Employee 

Questionnaire and Complaint Intake. 

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 

2501–0018. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD 

and local agencies administering HUDassisted programs must enforce Federal 

wage and reporting requirements on 

covered HUD-assisted construction and 

maintenance work. Enforcement 

activities include contacting laborers 

and mechanics and requesting 

information about their employment on 

covered projects. In addition, HUD and 

local agencies may be contacted by the 

workers or by others who wish to file a 

complaint of labor standards 

violation(s). HUD and local agencies 

have used many formats to collect 

worker information and to record 

complainant information. HUD 

proposes to standardize and institute 

two forms for these collections: an 

employee questionnaire (in English, 

Spanish, and electronic versions) and a 

complaint intake form. The 

questionnaire may be mailed to 

employees or may be otherwise 

provided to them to complete and 

return to HUD or the local agency. The 

questionnaire is also available on-line 

through HUD’s Web site. This version 

can be completed on-screen for 

electronic submission or it can be 

printed for hard-copy submission. 

Complaint intake forms will be used by 

HUD and local agency personnel to 

record information provided by 

complainants about the nature of the 

alleged violation(s). Both forms may be 

supplemented with additional pages, as 

needed. Responses and the provision of 

supplemental information are voluntary 

on the part of questionnaire 

respondents. Questionnaire responses 

and complaint intake forms must be 

retained by the HUD and local agencies 

to document the sufficiency of 

enforcement efforts. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

Forms HUD–4730, HUD–4370E, HUD–

4370SP; and HUD–4731.

hours needed to prepare the information

of Labor (DOL) regulations (29 CFR Part

local agencies complete and submit a 

Semi-annual Enforcement Report each 

six months.
