SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This notice is for renewal of
information collection.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8 (d)).
Public Law 88–459 authorizes Federal
agencies to provide housing for
Government employees under specified
circumstances. In compliance with
OMB Circular A–45 (Revised), Rental
and Construction of Government
Quarters, a review of private rental
market housing rates is required at least
once every 5 years to ensure that the
rental, utility charges, and charges for
related services to occupants of
Government Furnished Housing (GFH)
are comparable to corresponding
charges in the private sector. To avoid
unnecessary duplication and
inconsistent rental rates, the Department
of the Interior, Office of the Secretary,
Interior Business Center, conducts
housing surveys in support of employee
housing management programs for the
Departments of the Interior (DOI),
Agriculture, Commerce, Homeland
Security, Justice, Transportation, Health
and Human Services, and Veterans
Affairs. In this survey, two collection
forms are used: OS–2000, covering
