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 (on behalf of
the Office of Acquisition and Property
Management), 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
‘‘Houses—Apartments—Mobile
Homes,’’ and OS–2001 covering ‘‘Trailer
Spaces.’’
This collection of information
provides data that is essential for 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 providing GFH
would be required to use professional
real estate appraisals of private market
rental costs, again, in accordance with
OMB Circular A–45.
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 forprofit institutions.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 1,700 for OS–2000 and 175
for OS–2001.
Frequency of response: Average 1.99
responses for OS–2000 and 1.26
responses for OS–2001.
(2) Annual reporting and record
keeping burden:
Total annualized reporting per
response: 6 minutes for form OS–2000
and 4 minutes for form OS–2001.
Total annualized reporting: 353
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).
(4) As required under 5 CFR
1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice

soliciting comments on the information
collection was published on July 8, 2013
(78 FR 40761). No comments were
received. This notice provides the
public with an additional 30 days in
which to comment on the proposed
information collection activity.
III. Request for Comments
The Department of the Interior invites
comments on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
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 those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
collection techniques.
‘‘Burden’’ means the total time, effort,
or 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 utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
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, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
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 the extent
allowable by law. 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: September 9, 2013.
