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

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

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
