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: 2006 American
Housing Survey—Metropolitan Sample
(AHS–MS).
OMB Control Number: 2528–0016.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
2006 AHS-MS provides a periodic
measure of the size and composition of
the housing inventory in selected
metropolitan areas. Title 12, United
States Code, Sections 1701z–1, 1701z–
2(g), and 1710z–10a mandate the
collection of this information.
The 2006 survey is similar to previous
AHS–MS surveys and collects data on
subjects such as the amount and types
of changes in the inventory, the physical
condition of the inventory, the
characteristics of the occupants, the
persons eligible for and beneficiaries of
assisted housing by race and ethnicity,
and the number and characteristics of
vacancies. Policy analysts, program
managers, budget analysts, and
Congressional staff use AHS data to
advise executive and legislative
branches about housing conditions and
the suitability of public policy
initiatives. Academic researchers and
private organizations also use AHS data
in efforts of specific interest and
concern to their respective
communities.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development needs the AHS data
for two important uses.
1. With the data, policy analysts can
monitor the interaction among housing
needs, demand, and supply, as well as
changes in housing conditions and
costs, to aid in the development of
housing policies and the design of
PO 00000
Frm 00039

Sfmt 4703
housing programs appropriate for
different target groups, such as first-time
homebuyers.
2. With the data, HUD can evaluate,
monitor, and design HUD programs to
improve efficiency and effectiveness.
Agency Form Numbers: Computerized
Versions of AHS–61, AHS–62, and
AHS–63.
Members of affected public:
Households.
Estimation of the total of hours
needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response:
Number of respondents: 64,751.
Estimated responses per respondent:
One every six years.
Time per respondent: 34 minutes.
Total hours to respond: 36,692.
Respondent’s obligation: Voluntary.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Pending OMB approval.
Authority: Title 13, U.S.C., Section 9(a),
and Title 12, U.S.C., Section 1701z-1 et seq.

Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
On March 21, 2005 (70 FR 13575),
HUD published its FY2005 SuperNOFA.
The HOPWA Program, which was

HUD received 26 HOPWA

HUD received 25 through Grants.gov

requirement. Based on the number

balance of grant funding will remain
available after the selection of eligible
awards from the list of applications
received under the FY2005 SuperNOFA.
Specifically, HUD anticipates that
approximately $18 million in FY2005
funds will be available for additional

HUD in time to meet the submission
requirements.
