SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD has 

submitted to OMB a request for 

approval of 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 August 22, 2014. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 2015 

American Housing Survey. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–0017. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement with 

change of a previously approved 

collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

purpose of the American Housing 

Survey (AHS) is to supply the public 

with detailed and timely information 

about housing quality, housing costs, 

and neighborhood assets, in support of 

effective housing policy, programs, and 

markets. Title 12, United States Code, 

Sections 1701Z–1, 1701Z–2(g), and 

1710Z–10a mandates the collection of 

this information. 

Like the previous surveys, the 2015 

AHS will collect ‘‘core’’ data on subjects 

such as the amount and types of 

changes in the housing inventory, the 

physical condition of the housing 

inventory, the characteristics of the 

occupants, housing costs for owners and 

renters, the persons eligible for and 

beneficiaries of assisted housing, 

remodeling and repair frequency, 

reasons for moving, the number and 

characteristics of vacancies, and 

characteristics of resident’s 

neighborhood. 

In additional to the ‘‘core’’ data, HUD 

plans to collect ‘‘topical’’ data using a 

series of topical modules. The topics 

include: Potential health and safety 

hazards in the home, modifications 

made to assist occupants living with 

disabilities, food insecurity, the use of 

housing counseling services, and the 

presence of arts and cultural 

opportunities in the community. 

For the first time since 1985, HUD 

will draw new national and 

metropolitan area longitudinal samples 

for the AHS. The national longitudinal 

sample will consist of approximately 

82,950 housing units, and will include 

oversample from the largest 15 

metropolitan areas and approximately 

5,250 HUD-assisted housing units. In 

additional to the national longitudinal 

sample, HUD plans to conduct 25 

metropolitan area samples, each with 

approximately 3,000 housing units (for 

a total 75,000 housing units). Lastly, 

HUD plans to conduct a ‘‘bridge’’ 

sample of 9,000 households from the 

2013 AHS. The bridge sample will allow 

for estimation of longitudinal changes 

between 2013 and 2015, and facilitates 

analyses of the impact of survey design 

changes on 2015 AHS estimates. Policy 

analysts, program managers, budget 

analysts, and Congressional staff use 

AHS data to advise executive and 

legislative branches about housing 

conditions and the suitability of public 

policy initiatives. Academic researchers 

and private organizations also use AHS 

data in efforts of specific interest and 

concern to their respective 

communities. 

HUD needs the AHS data for two 

important uses. 

1. With the data, policy analysts can 

monitor the interaction among housing 

needs, demand and supply, as well as 

changes in housing conditions and 

costs, to aid in the development of 

housing policies and the design of 

housing programs appropriate for 

different target groups, such as first-time 

home buyers and the elderly. 

2. With the data, HUD can evaluate, 

monitor, and design HUD programs to 

improve efficiency and effectiveness. 

Members of affected public: 

Households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

166,950. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 40 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: One time 

every two years. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 111,300. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

only cost to respondents is that of their 

time. The total estimated cost is 

$64,500,000. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 

Section 9(a), and Title 12, U.S.C., 

Section 1701z–1 et seq.
