    Title of Proposal: Public and Indian Housing--General Conditions 
for Construction Contract--Form HUD 5370.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0094.
    This form is required for construction contracts awarded by Public 
Housing Agencies and Indian Housing Authorities, refered to hereafter 
as Housing Authorities (HAs). The form provides requirements for 
performance and compliance with the construction contract document by 
contractors and subcontractors and the obligations of HAs in project 
construction under the conventional bid method and modernization. The 
General Conditions for Construction Contracts are bound into the 
Project Specifications and become part of the Contract Documents. If 
the form were not used by HAs in solicitations, HAs would be unable to 
enforce their contracts.
    The form includes those clauses required by OMB's Common Rule on 
grantee procurement, implemented by HUD at 24 CFR 85.36, HUD program 
regulations on grantee procurement; those requirements set forth in 
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended 
(12 U.S.C. 1701u, Section 3, for the employment, training, and 
contracting opportunities for low income persons), implemented by HUD 
at 24 CFR 135; and HUD Handbooks implementing those regulations.
    Members of affected public: PHAs; IHAs.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of responses, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: on an annual basis, 3,895 responses, 1 
response per construction contract, 3,895 total responses, 3,898 total 
burden hours. Status of the proposed information collection: Revision 
of currently approved collection, with changes to (1) include the 
requirements set forth in Section 3 of the Housing and Urban 
Development Act of 1968, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1701u, Section 3) 
implemented by HUD at 24 CFR 135 and (2) correct three typographical 
errors occurring in the previous edition of the form.
    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: July 17, 1996.

General Deputy.
