hereby given that, in a letter dated 

October 3, 2017, the President amended 

the cost-sharing arrangements regarding 

Federal funds provided under the 

authority of the Robert T. Stafford

percent Federal cost share for debris removal 

and emergency protective measures, 

including direct Federal assistance, for 180 

days from the start of the incident period,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 2018 

Rental Housing Finance Survey. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–0276. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collection. 

Agency Form Numbers: No agency 

forms will be used. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Rental Housing Finance Survey (RHFS) 

provides a measure of financial, 

mortgage, and property characteristics 

of rental housing properties in the 

United States. RHFS focuses on 

mortgage financing of rental housing 

properties, with emphasis on new 

originations for purchase-money 

mortgages and refinancing, and the 

characteristics of these new 

originations. 

The RHFS will collect data on 

property values of residential structures, 

characteristics of residential structures, 

rental status and rental value of units 

within the residential structures, 

commercial use of space within 

residential structures, property 

management status, ownership status, a 

detailed assessment of mortgage 

financing, and benefits received from 

Federal, state, local, and nongovernmental programs. 

Many of the questions are the same or 

similar to those found on the 1995 

Property Owners and Managers Survey, 

the rental housing portion of the 2001 

Residential Finance Survey, the 2012 

Rental Housing Finance Survey, and the 

2015 Rental Housing Finance Survey. 

This survey does not duplicate work 

done in other existent HUD surveys or 

studies that deal with rental units 

financing. 

Policy analysts, program managers, 

budget analysts, and Congressional staff 

can use the survey’s results to advise 

executive and legislative branches about 

the mortgage finance characteristics of 

the rental housing stock in the United 

States and the suitability of public 

policy initiatives. Academic researchers 

and private organizations will also be 

able to utilize the data to facilitate their 

research and projects. 

The Department of Housing and 

Urban Development (HUD) needs the 

RHFS data for the following two 

reasons: 

1. This is the only source of 

information on the rental housing 

finance characteristics of rental 

properties. 

2. HUD needs this information to gain 

a better understanding of the mortgage 

finance characteristics of the rental 

housing stock in the United States to 

evaluate, monitor, and design HUD 

programs. 

Members of Affected Public: Owners 

and managers of rental properties. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 60 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: One time. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 10,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

only cost to respondents is that of their 

time. The total estimated cost is 

$6,000,000. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 

Section 9(a), and Title 12, U.S.C., 

Section 1701z–1 et seq.
