DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-4086-N-38]


Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing; 
Notice of Proposed Information Collection for Public Comment

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described 
below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department 
is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.

DATES: Comments due: October 28, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding 
this proposal. Comments should refer to the proposal by name and/or OMB 
Control Number and should be sent to: Mildred M. Hamman, Reports 
Liaison Officer, Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and 
Urban Development, 451 7th Street, S.W., Room 4238, Washington, DC 
20410-5000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mildred M. Hamman, (202) 708-0846, for copies of the proposed forms and 
other available documents. (This is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed 
information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).
    This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information 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) 
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 
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 
electronic submission of responses.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of proposal: Insurance Information.
    OMB control number: 2577-0045.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Annual Contributions Contract between HUD and a Public Housing Agency 
(PHA) or Indian Housing Authority (IHA) requires the PHA or IHA to 
insure their property for an amount sufficient to protect against 
financial loss. Completion of HUD-5460 is needed only when a new 
project is constructed. It is used to establish an insurable value at 
the time the project is built. The amount of insurance can then be 
increased each year as inflation and increased costs of construction 
create an upward trend on insurable values.
    Agency form number, if applicable: HUD-5460.
    Members of affected public: PHA/IHAs. Based upon historical 
information, it is estimated that approximately 60 new projects will be 
constructed each year. Public burden for collection of the information 
necessary to complete HUD-5460 is estimated to average one hour per 
response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing 
data sources, gathering data needed, and reviewing the collection of 
information. Annual burden hours per PHA/IHA should not exceed one 
hour, and total hours for all combined would be approximately sixty. 
Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement.

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

    Dated: August 20, 1996.
Michael B. Janis,
General Deputy, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
