Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; 2023 New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS)

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on December 15, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. To 
allow for sufficient coverage of units built in the prior two years 
(since the prior survey year sample was selected), the sample size was 
increased by 200, from 15,500 to 15,700. Although the sample increased, 
the respondent burden hours were decreased from 9,907 to 9,867 because 
not all vacant units will now be reinterviewed, something that was 
originally included in the respondent burden calculation.

and learn specific demographic characteristics about the city's 
residents.
    Affected Public: Households and rental offices/realtors (for vacant 
units).
