B. Burden Estimates

    FHFA estimates the total annualized hour burden imposed upon

the following calculations:

I. Applicants

    FHFA estimates that the total annual average number of entities 
applying to be certified as a Housing Associate over the next three 
years will be one, with one response per applicant. The estimate for

applicant x 1 response per applicant x 14 hours = 14 hours).

II. Current Housing Associates

Housing Associates over the next three years will be 76, with one
