‘‘Houses—Apartments—Mobile Homes’’
and OS–2001, covering ‘‘Trailer
Spaces.’’
This collection of information
provides data that helps DOI and the
other Federal agencies to manage GFH
in accordance with the requirements of
OMB Circular A–45 (Revised). If this
information were not collected from the
public, DOI and the other Federal
agencies required to provide GFH would
be required to use professional
appraisals of open market rental costs
for GFH, again, in accordance with OMB
Circular A–45, but at an increased cost
to the taxpayer.
II. Data
(1) Title: Private Rental Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1084–0033.
Current Expiration Date: September
30, 2013.
Type of Review: Information
Collection Renewal.
Affected Entities: Individuals or
households, businesses and other for
profit institutions.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: OS–2000: 3,841; OS–2001:
200; Total: 4,041.
Frequency of responses: Once per
respondent every fourth year. Note:
Three or four of 15 total survey regions
are surveyed every year. Therefore a
respondent may be potentially be
surveyed every fourth year, if an
individual respondent lives in the same
unit and the exact same unit happens to
be surveyed again four years later. In
addition, if an individual business is a
significant rental property owner or
rental property manager in the
community they may provide multiple
responses in the same survey.
(2) Annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden: Estimated
burden per response: OS–2000: 8
minutes; OS–2001: 6 minutes.
Average number of estimated annual
responses: OS–2000: 3,804 (average);
OS–2001: 200 (average).
Total estimated average annual
reporting: OS–2000: 507 hours; OS–
2001: 20 hours, Total: 527 hours.
(3) Description of the need and use of
the information: This information
collection provides the data that enables
DOI to determine open market rental
costs for GFH. These rates, in turn,
enable DOI and other Federal agencies
to set GFH rental rates in accordance
with the requirements of OMB Circular
A–45 (Revised).
III. Request for Comments
The Departments invite comments on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:27 Jul 05, 2013
Jkt 229001
agencies, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agencies’
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information and the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
‘‘Burden’’ means the total time, effort,
and financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and use
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, and to complete and
review the collection of information;
and to transmit or otherwise disclose
the information.
All written comments, with names
and addresses, will be available for
public inspection. If you wish us to
withhold your personal information,
you must prominently state at the
beginning of your comment what
personal information you want us to
withhold. We will honor your request to

to view any comments received, you
may do so by scheduling an

given in the ADDRESSES section. A valid

approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
Dated: July 1, 2013.
