to: (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)

and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; 
including through the use of appropriate automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting

    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Survey of Tenants in certain properties with 
HUD-held and foreclosed mortgages.
    OMB Control Number: 2502-0410.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD-
held or foreclosed properties. The HCD Amendments Act of 1978, as 
amended by the HCD of 1987 and the McKinney Amendments of 1988 requires 
that HUD preserve the number of units which are occupied by low- and 
moderate-income persons at the time of assignment or foreclosure,

level of unassisted tenants for whom information is not available.

other for-profit Federal agencies or employees. An estimation of the

    Dated: August 12, 1996.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.
