[[Page 32855]]

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) 
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the

    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Preservation of Multifamily Low Income Housing, 
FR 3384.
    OMB Control Number: 2502-0495.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Department requests extension of information collection required to 
implement parts of Title II of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1992 (the Statute). The Statute amends the Low Income Housing 
Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act of 1990 (LIHPHRA).
    The interim rule includes one case of information collection. These 
requirements are Notification requirements which were added by Title 
III so that effected parties are aware of an owner's intentions for a 
property. The Statute at Section 313(a) and the regulations at Section 
248.211 and 248.213 require owners proceeding under the Emergency Low 
Income Housing Preservation Act of 1987 (ELIHPA) to file Notices of 
Intent and Plans of Action and any Plan of Action revisions with the 
tenants and State or local governments (except proprietary 
information). The regulation at Section 248.213 intends to make ELIHPA 
regulations identical to LIHPHRA regulations on this requirement by 
requiring that any Plan of Action submission be filed in a synopsized 
form with a tenant representative or made available to all tenants if 
any tenant representative exists.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: N/A.
    Members of affected public: Approximately 54 owners of ELIHPA 
projects located throughout the Continental United States.
    An estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection is 2 hours, the number of respondents is 54, 
frequency of response is 1, and the hours of response is 10.8.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension with 
change.

    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: June 19, 1996.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
