older’’ housing exemption as an 

affirmative defense to the complaint. 

Agency form number(s), if applicable: 

None. 

Members of affected public: The 

HOPA requires that small businesses 

and other small entities that operate 

housing intended for occupancy by 

persons 55 years of age or older must 

routinely collect and update reliable age 

verification information necessary to 

meet the eligibility criteria for the 

HOPA exemption. The record keeping 

requirements are the responsibility of 

the housing provider that seeks to 

qualify for the HOPA exemption. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection, including the number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: The HOPA 

information collection requirements are 

the responsibility of the individual 

housing facility or community that 

claims eligibility for the HOPA’s ‘‘55 or 

older’’ housing exemption. The HOPA 

does not authorize HUD to require 

submission of this information by 

individual housing providers as a means 

of certifying that their housing 

communities or facilities qualify for the 

exemption. Further, since the HOPA has 

no mandatory registration requirement, 

HUD cannot ascertain the actual number 

of housing facilities and communities 

that are currently collecting this 

information with the intention of 

qualifying for the HOPA exemption. 

Accordingly, HUD has estimated that 

approximately 1,000 housing facilities 

or communities would seek to qualify 

for the HOPA exemption. HUD has 

estimated that the occupancy/age 

verification data would require routine 

updating with each new housing 

transaction within the facility or 

community, and that the number of 

such transactions per year might vary 

significantly depending on the size and 

nature of the facility or community. 

HUD also estimated the average number 

of housing transactions per year at ten 

(10) transactions per community. HUD 

concluded that the publication of 

policies and procedures is likely to be 

a one-time event and in most cases will 

require no additional burden beyond 

what is done in the normal course of 

business. The estimated total annual 

burden hours are 5,500 hours. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Extension of a currently 

approved collection. 

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork 

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

as amended. 

Dated: January 15, 2009.

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information 

Officer, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The proposed information 

collection requirement described below 

has been submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. The Department is 

soliciting public comments on the 

subject proposal. 

The Federal Standards and Procedural 

Regulations require manufactured home 

producers to place labels and notices in 

and on manufactured homes and 

mandate State and Private agencies 

participating in the Federal program to 

issue reports. These Standards will 

protect the HUD’s interests by requiring 

certain features of design and 

construction. In addition, some 

information collected assists both HUD 

and State Agencies in locating 

manufactured homes with defects, 

which then would create the need for 

notification and/or correction by the 

manufacturer.

25, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

this proposal. Comments should refer to
