Notice of Submission of Proposed
Information Collection to OMB Section
8 Random Digit Dialing Fair Marketing
Rent Surveys
Office of the Chief Information
Officer, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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.
HUD is evaluating alternative survey
methodologies to collect gross rent data
for specific areas in a relatively fast and
accurate way that may be used to
estimate and update Section 8 Fair
Market Rents (FMRs) in areas where
FMRs are believed to be incorrect and
data from the American Community
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00029

Survey is not available at the local level.
Section 8(C)(1) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 requires the
Secretary to publish Fair Market Rents
(FMRs) annually to be effective on
October 1 of each year. FMRs are used
for the Section 8 Rental Certificate
Program (including space rentals by
owners of manufactured homes under
that program); the Moderate
Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy
program; housing assisted under the
Loan Management and Property
Disposition programs; payment
standards for the Rental Voucher
program; and any other programs whose
regulations specify their use. Random
digit dialing (RDD) telephone surveys
have been used for many years to adjust
FMRs and will be evaluated for
continued use. These surveys are based
on a sampling procedure that uses
computers to select statistically random
samples of telephone numbers to locate
certain types of rental housing units for
surveying. Cell phone surveys will be
incorporated into this methodology and
comprise roughly one-third of the
sample. In addition HUD will collect
survey data using web-based and mail
systems. Initially, as the methodology is
being refined, HUD will conduct
surveys of up to 4 individual FMR areas
in a year to test the accuracy of their
FMRs. Up to 5 individual FMR area will
be surveyed after the new methodology
is determined.
DATES: Comments Due: September 28,
2011.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit comments regarding
this proposal. Comments should refer to
the proposal by name and/or OMB
approval Number (2528–0142) and
