[Docket No. FR-5480-N-46]
Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB;
Emergency Comment Request; Section 8 Random Digit Dialing Fair
Marketing Rent Surveys
AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described
below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for emergency review and approval, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the
subject proposal.
These surveys provide HUD with a way to estimate Section 8 Fair
Market Rents (FMRs) in areas not covered by the American Community
Survey annual reports and in areas where FMRs are believed to be
incorrect. The affected public would be those renters random selected
to be surveyed and Section 8 voucher holders. The change in this
request from what has been approved is to include the use of cell
phones, mail surveys and web-based surveys. The burden on the
respondent and on those contacted but screened out is to less than in
the previous requests because fewer surveys are being conducted. Minor
changes have been made to the survey instrument to make it clearer .

this proposal. Comments must be received within thirty (30) days from
