SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department will submit the proposed 

information collection to OMB for 

review, as required by the Paperwork 

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: Study of Capital 

Needs in the Public Housing Program. 

OMB Control Number: 2577-pending. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: In 

response to a congressional request, the 

Department is conducting a study of the 

existing and accrual capital needs of the 

public housing stock. Through a 

combination of on-site inspections and 

Public Housing Authority (PHA) 

interviews, capital needs will be 

estimated at the national level for 

subcategories such as housing authority 

size (measured by number of ACC units) 

and region. The findings will be 

compared to those from an earlier study, 

Capital Needs of the Public Housing 

Stock in 1998: Formula Capital Study 

(January 30, 2000), to illustrate how 

existing and accrual needs have 

changed over time. The study is also 

required to investigate the feasibility of 

using Real Estate Assessment Center 

(REAC) inspections to facilitate ongoing 

estimates of public housing capital 

needs. The collected information will 

support budgeting, planning, and 

evaluation efforts by Congress and HUD. 

Agency form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

Members of affected public: Staff from 

Public Housing Authorities included in 

the sample. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents: The total burden for data 

collection is estimated at 4,820 hours 

(4,400 hours for physical inspections of 

units and 420 hours for a PHA survey). 

Since the entire data collection period is 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 10, 2008 / Notices 52667 

roughly six months within the same 

calendar year, the total burden hours are 

the same as the average annual burden 

hours. Each of the 550 properties 

selected for inspection will need to 

provide a knowledgeable staff member 

to accompany the inspector during the 

8 hour inspection. At each of the 140 

PHAs selected, an average of three staff 

members (such as the executive 

director, director of modernization, 

engineer, or asset manager) will need to 

spend a combined total of 

approximately 180 minutes responding 

to our information requests and followup questions.
