We have
disapproved this collection of information for the following
reason: HUD has not sufficiently justified the need to pay
respondents the interview. As stated in the Paperwork Reduction Act
implementing rules, 5 CFR Part 1320.6 (e), OMB will not approve a
collection of information "providing for any payment of gift to
respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees."
HUD at any time may resubmit this information collection without
the fee, or shall explain why there is a substantial need for such
a fee.
