Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 167 / Monday, August 29, 2011 / Notices
the public and affecting 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: Section 8 Random
Digit Dialing Fair Marketing Rent
Surveys.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0142.
Form Numbers: None.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Its Proposed Use: 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
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 areas
will be surveyed after the new
methodology is determined.

information from indivuals seeking to
download from HUD for research
purposes proprietary USPS data on
vacant addresses in the United States.
The purpose of the information
collection is to verify that individuals
requesting the USPS vacancy data
represent government, academic, and
non-profit research institutions—

authenticated users. This information
collection will last as long as USPS
allows HUD to sub-license its vacancy
data to permitted third parties under the
agreement.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Agency form numbers: None.
Members of Affected Public: It is
estimated roughly 7,000 unique users
