Approved for 30
days with the following conditions. HUD's response to OMB's last
"remarks" for this information collection does not make sense. If
HUD had reviewed OMB's remarks carefully, it would have realized
that we objected to the "statistical questions" contained on the
93101-A form largely because they were duplicative of questions on
the 93101 form. Consequently, HUD's proposed revisions to the
93101-A form are not sufficient. HUD must further revise this form
to eliminate the questions regarding family type (item c-2), age of
head (c-3), and sex of head (c-4). These questions are duplicative
of questions 6-b, 6-c, and 6-d on the 93101 form. In addition,
HUD's request to reduce this information collection's burden is not
approved. Although the elimination of reporting requirements will
decrease the collection's burden, HUD should provide a precise
indication of how much the burden is expected to decrease as a
result of the revised reporting requirements. We doubt that these
changes will reduce the burden on the public by over 50 percent, as
your revised burden estimate indicates.
