A. Overview of Information Collection
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

[Docket No. FR–7090–N–07]
60-Day Notice of Proposed Information
Collection: 2023 American Housing
Survey; OMB Control No.: 2528–0117
Office of Policy Development
and Research, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Emergency Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Online Request to be a Supporter and
Declaration of Financial Support.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–134A;
USCIS.
(4) Abstract: USCIS uses Form I–134A
to determine whether a U.S.-based
individual meets the necessary
qualifications to serve as a supporter of
the beneficiary named on the Form I–
134A for the duration of their temporary
stay in the United States. This includes
collecting information to conduct
security checks and assess whether the
supporter has sufficient financial
resources and access to those funds to
support the beneficiary as well as to
obtain information concerning whether
the beneficiary merits a favorable
exercise of discretion under the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
statutory parole standard. Form I–134A
is filed by a U.S.-based individual (the
potential supporter) to request to be a
supporter, agree to provide financial
support to the beneficiary named on the
form for the duration of the beneficiary’s
period of stay in the United States, and
to provide information concerning why
the beneficiary warrants a discretionary
grant of parole.
In this request, USCIS will require
submission of biometrics by supporters
as a condition of submission and require
payment of a biometric services fee of
$30. These changes are needed to enable
USCIS to better validate the identity and
qualifications of the supporter(s) and
perform additional background checks
and security vetting. Within the 6month period following emergency
approval, USCIS will seek public
comment of the information collection
package as provided under 5 CFR part
1320 and the Paperwork Reduction Act.
HUD is seeking approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for the information collection
described below. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD is
requesting comment from all interested
parties on the proposed collection of
information. The purpose of this notice
is to allow for 60 days of public
comment.
DATES: Comments Due Date: November
4, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit comments regarding
this proposal.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection can be submitted
within 60 days of publication of this
notice to www.regulations.gov.

Title of Information Collection: 2025
American Housing Survey.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0017.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
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.
Increasing field costs and declining
response rates have led HUD to adopt a
continuous data collection model as
opposed to the periodic 5-month data
collection every other year. HUD
believes continuous data collection will
be more effective, primarily because: (1)
it eliminates the expensive, timeconsuming Regional Office AHS rampup costs every two years, and (2) it puts
in place a more experienced AHS
workforce with a constant workload. An
added benefit is that we will be able to
increase the frequency of national and
metro AHS estimates, allowing for more
current estimates and better

comparability to other data sources
which collect annual data (surveys such
as the American Community Survey and
key estimates such as homeownership/
vacancy rates).
The survey will continue to be
longitudinal, interviewing the same
housing unit every two years. The
sample will be divided into 12 cohorts
where each cohort has a 2-month data
collection period. Data collection will
begin May 2025.
In addition to the ‘‘core’’ data, HUD
plans to collect supplemental data on
climate adaptation and mitigation, arts
and culture, accessibility, doubling up,
and accessory dwelling units.
Additionally wording variations related
to sexual orientation and gender will be
tested in support of the American
Community Survey Content Test.
The 2025 survey will begin a new
longitudinal sample consisting of
approximately 175,000 housing units.
The sample is designed to provide
estimates twenty metropolitan areas and
at least seventeen states. An oversample
of HUD-assisted housing units is
included in the sample design. For the
first survey cycle (2025–26) a bridge
sample will be fielded. The bridge
sample will be drawn from housing
units that were successfully interviewed
in 2023.
Number of
respondents
Information collection
tkelley on LAP7H3WLY3PROD with NOTICES2
The bridge sample serves as an
evaluation tool. If something unforeseen
were to happen with the 2025 sample,
the estimates from the bridge sample
can measure what the 2025 estimates
would have looked like if we had not
redesigned the AHS sample. The bridge
sample size will be 8,500.
Approximately seven percent of all
interviews will be reinterviewed for the
purpose of interviewer quality control
(an estimated total of 12,845 housing
units).
To help reduce respondent burden on
households in the longitudinal sample,
the 2025 AHS will make use of
dependent interviewing techniques,
which will decrease the number of
questions asked. 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.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) needs the
AHS data for the following two reasons:
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.

Estimated total annual cost: The only
cost to respondents is that of their time.
The total estimated cost is
$1,072,694.79.
Respondent’s obligation: Voluntary.
Legal authority: The collection of
information is conducted under title 12,
United States Code, section 1701z and
section 3507 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. ch. 35,
