cycloalkanes, and aromatic

hydrocarbons. ASTM specifies four

types of mineral spirit (Stoddard

High flash point; Type III—Odorless;

and Type IV—Low Dry Point. Stoddard

solvent type III selected for testing is a

mixture with high aliphatic and low

aromatic contents, little odor, and 100°F

minimum flash point. In 1990,

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;

Title of Proposal: Evaluation of Home

Ownership Counseling Initiatives.

OMB Control Number, if applicable:

2528–.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: The

information is being collected to

determine the feasibility of setting a

long-term mechanism for the collection

of data to evaluate the efficacy of home

ownership counseling. Evaluating

counseling programs has been

hampered by two methodological

reasons: (1) Differences in programs

goals complicate any type of

performance comparison; and (2) the

counseling industry encounters very
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 93 / Monday, May 13, 1996 / Notices 22069

different market conditions in different

areas.

HUD’s involvement with the

counseling dates back to the 1960s.

With the passage of the 1968 Housing

and Urban Development Act, HUD was

authorized to contract with public and

private organizations to provide

counseling to mortgagors in the Section

235 and 237 Programs. Between 1988

and 1993, HUD gave some operating

support to over 300 agencies. To ensure

that this support is being provided in a

cost-effective manner, HUD proposes to

undertake a preliminary investigation of

the feasibility of a long-term evaluation.

This investigation will include

identifying key data requirements and

pre-testing a baseline data collection

form to gather the required information

from counseling recipients.

Agency form numbers, if applicable:

None.

Members of affected public: New

participants in three counseling

programs will be asked to participate in

this data collection activity. It is

expected that at most 200 participants

in each program will be evaluated.

Estimation of the total number of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of response: Information will be

collected by one-time interviews with at

most 600 participants in counseling

programs. These interviews will take

approximately thirty minutes each. This

means a total of 300 hours of response

for the information collection.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Pending OMB clearance.

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork

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

as amended.

Dated: April 30, 1996.
