whether the proposed collection of

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

PHAs must document why the

designation is needed and what

additional housing resources will be

available to the non-designated group.

Local government.
