information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Employee
Questionnaire and Complaint Intake.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2501–0018.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
and local agencies administering HUDassisted programs must enforce Federal
wage and reporting requirements on
covered HUD-assisted construction and
maintenance work. Enforcement
activities include contacting laborers
and mechanics and requesting
information about their employment on
covered projects. In addition, HUD and
local agencies may be contacted by the
workers or by others who wish to file a
complaint of labor standards
violation(s). HUD and local agencies
have used many formats to collect
worker information and to record
complainant information. HUD
proposes to standardize and institute
two forms for these collections: an
employee questionnaire (in English,
Spanish, and electronic versions) and a
complaint intake form. The
questionnaire may be mailed to
employees or may be otherwise
provided to them to complete and
return to HUD or the local agency. The
questionnaire is also available on-line
through HUD’s Web site. This version
can be completed on-screen for
electronic submission or it can be
printed for hard-copy submission.
Complaint intake forms will be used by
HUD and local agency personnel to
record information provided by
complainants about the nature of the
alleged violation(s). Both forms may be
supplemented with additional pages, as
needed. Responses and the provision of
supplemental information are voluntary
on the part of questionnaire
respondents. Questionnaire responses
and complaint intake forms must be
retained by the HUD and local agencies
to document the sufficiency of
enforcement efforts.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
Forms HUD–4730, HUD–4370E, HUD–
4370SP; and HUD–4731.

hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
