This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Multifamily 

Building Conformance with the Fair 

Housing Accessibility Guidelines: 

Improving the Methodology. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: This 

request is for the clearance of a survey 

instrument designed to measure the 

degree of conformance in multifamily 

buildings to the Fair Housing 

Accessibility Guidelines. The survey 

will be compared to baseline data 

gathered in a previous study from 2003, 

which covered the period 1991–1996. 

The purpose of the survey is to: (1) 

Replicate the core components of the 

previous survey and compare, where 

possible, changes in the level of 

conformance with the Fair Housing 

Guidelines; (2) Provide a new and more 

reliable baseline for future studies; and 

(3) Conduct a large enough survey, with 

weighted sampling, to assess the 

differences in levels of conformance 

among specific housing types (e.g., Low 

Income Housing Tax Credit properties 

and elderly properties). 

OMB Approval Number: Pending. 

Agency form numbers: None. 

Members of Affected Public: 

Individuals. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: 

Inspections: 400 projects, average of 

five hours inspection time per project 

will result in 2,000 hours. (This estimate 

combines inspection time with 

interview time. The actual burden on 

individuals will be closer to 400 hours.) 

Telephone interviews: 100 

respondents, one interview at one hour 

each will result in 100 hours. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Pending OMB approval. 

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 

as amended. 

Dated: November 21, 2005.
