SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit 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).
    The Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affecting agencies concerning the proposed collection of information 
to: (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information 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 through 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: ``Service Coordinator Database Information''.
    This is a one-page form.
    OMB Control Number: 2502-xxxx.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    The proposed form will be used to gather information about HUD 
subsidized housing projects that employ a Service Coordinator. The 
information will be placed in a national Service Coordinator database 
and will supplement existing data.
    The completion of this form is completely voluntary. Receipt of 
benefits will in no way be dependent on the completion of this form.
    The database is for primary use by the public. It will enable 
Service Coordinators to find, network with, and obtain information from 
their colleagues across the country. This ability will help to enhance 
their job, thereby providing a better service to residents.
    HUD will also use the database for reference and information for 
funding purposes.
    HUD currently does not have a comprehensive list or database of all 
such projects. This form will assist HUD in furthering this goal.
    Agency forms, if applicable: Subject of this notice: ``Service 
Coordinator Database Information''.
    Members of affected public: Owners, managers, or Service 
Coordinators of HUD assisted housing projects; Public Housing Authority 
or State housing finance agency staff or Service Coordinators serving 
their residents, and HUD staff.
    Status of the proposed information collection: The information 
collection form is being submitted to obtain OMB approval for use by 
the public.

    Authority: Section 236 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: October 30, 1997.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.
