information:

Title of Proposal: Section 8 Random

Digit Dialing Fair Market Rent

Telephone Survey.

OMB Control Number: 2528–0142.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: This

provides HUD with a fast, inexpensive

way to estimate and update Section 8

Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in areas not

covered by AHS or CPI surveys, and in

areas where FMRs are believed to be

incorrect. It also provides estimates of

annual rent changes. Section 8(C)(1) of

the United States Housing Act of 1937

requires the Secretary to publish Fair

Market Rents (FMRs) annually to be

effective on October 1 of each year.

FMRs are used for the Section 8 Rental

Certificate Program (including space

rentals by owners of manufactured

homes under that program); the

Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room

Occupancy program; housing assisted

under the Loan Management and

Property Disposition programs; payment

standards for the Rental Voucher

program; and any other programs whose

regulations specify their use.

Random digit dialing (RDD) telephone

surveys have been used for several years

to adjust FMRs. These surveys are based

on a sampling procedure that uses

computers to select statistically random

samples of telephone numbers to locate

certain types of rental housing units for

surveying. HUD contracts with a private

company to conduct two types of RDD

surveys: (1) Approximately 50

individual FMR areas are surveyed

every year to test the accuracy of their

FMRs; (2) In addition, 20 RDD surveys

are conducted every year to provide

updating factors for FMRs not surveyed

individually and for Annual Adjustment

Factors (AAFs). These surveys are

conducted in the nonmetropolitan

portions of all 10 HUD regions, and in

the 10 metropolitan portions that do not

have their own Consumer Price Index

(CPI) surveys.

Members of affected public:

Individuals or households living in

areas surveyed.

Estimation of the total numbers of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of response: The RDD surveys

require a great many telephone calls to

reach the required number of eligible

respondents—those living in 1 or 2

bedroom nonsubsidized rental housing,
