Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).
    This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected 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: Demolition/Disposition Application.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0075.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Housing Agencies (HAs) are required to submit this information to HUD 
to request permission to demolish or sell all or a portion of a 
development (i.e., dwelling units, non-dwelling property or vacant 
land) owned and operated by a HA. The specific information requested in 
the application is based on requirements of the statute, Section 18 of 
the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, and specifically 
identified in 24 CFR Part 970 of the regulation. The Department uses 
the information submitted to determine whether, and under what 
circumstances, to permit a HA to demolish or sell all or a portion of a 
public housing development. Since there is no handbook on demolition/
disposition of public housing, in the past, the only resource available 
to HAs for guidance on preparation of the application has been the 
regulation.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-52860.
    Members of affected public: State, Local Government.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: 120 respondents, on occasion, 16 hours 
average per response, 1,920 total reporting burden hours.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Revision, new 
format.

    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: December 24, 1997.
Elinor Bacon,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Housing Investments.
