As HUD receives roughly 14,375 applications on an annual basis, we expect that there will be 14,375 respondents who may need to use this form. HUD estimates that it will take half an hour to complete the form, at 58525 $65.15 per hour.1 The total estimated burden on respondents would thus reach $561,918 on an annual basis.
