SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD will
submit the proposed information
collection package to OMB for review as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as
amended).
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: 2015
American Housing Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2528–0017.
Type of Review: Regular Submission.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
purpose of the American Housing
Survey (AHS) is to supply the public
with detailed and timely information
about housing quality, housing costs,
and neighborhood assets, in support of
effective housing policy, programs, and
markets. Title 12, United States Code,
Sections 1701Z–1, 1701Z–2(g), and
1710Z–10a mandates the collection of
this information.
Like the previous surveys, the 2015
AHS will collect ‘‘core’’ data on subjects
such as the amount and types of
changes in the housing inventory, the
physical condition of the housing
inventory, the characteristics of the
occupants, housing costs for owners and
renters, the persons eligible for and
beneficiaries of assisted housing,
remodeling and repair frequency,
reasons for moving, the number and
characteristics of vacancies, and
characteristics of resident’s
neighborhood.
In additional to the ‘‘core’’ data, HUD
plans to collect ‘‘topical’’ data using a
series of topical modules. The topics
include: Potential health and safety
hazards in the home, modifications
made to assist occupants living with
disabilities, food insecurity, the use of
housing counseling services, and the
presence of arts and cultural
opportunities in the community.
For the first time since 1985, HUD
will draw new national and
metropolitan area longitudinal samples
for the AHS. The national longitudinal
sample will consist of approximately
82,950 housing units, and will include
oversample from the largest 15
metropolitan areas and approximately
5,250 HUD-assisted housing units. In
additional to the national longitudinal
sample, HUD plans to conduct 25
metropolitan area samples, each with
approximately 3,000 housing units (for
a total 75,000 housing units). Lastly,
HUD plans to conduct a ‘‘bridge’’
sample of 9,000 households from the
2013 AHS. The bridge sample will allow
for estimation of longitudinal changes

between 2013 and 2015, and facilitates
analyses of the impact of survey design
changes on 2015 AHS estimates.
Policy analysts, program managers,
budget analysts, and Congressional staff
use AHS data to advise executive and
legislative branches about housing
conditions and the suitability of public
policy initiatives. Academic researchers
and private organizations also use AHS
data in efforts of specific interest and
concern to their respective
communities.
HUD needs the AHS data for two
important uses.
1. With the data, policy analysts can
monitor the interaction among housing
needs, demand and supply, as well as
changes in housing conditions and
costs, to aid in the development of
housing policies and the design of
housing programs appropriate for
different target groups, such as first-time
home buyers and the elderly.
2. With the data, HUD can evaluate,
monitor, and design HUD programs to
improve efficiency and effectiveness.
Members of affected public:
Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
166,950.
Estimated Time per Response: 40
minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time
every two years.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 111,300.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: The
only cost to respondents is that of their
time. The total estimated cost is
$64,500,000.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.
Section 9(a), and Title 12, U.S.C.,
Section 1701z–1 et seq.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) 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) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of

who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
