    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
research will collect basic data on LIHTC project placed in service in 
the years 1995 and 1996. A previous LIHTC data collection collected 
similar data for the years 1987-1994. The 1987-1994 database is 
available at www.huduser.org/lihtc/. The proposed collection would 
update the database to aid analysis of LIHTC projects and serve as a 
sampling frame for further research by HUD and others. The Department 
anticipates using the same data collection instrument for projects 
placed in service in 1997, 1998, and 1999, as these data become 
available from state housing agencies.
    Attached is the survey instrument OMB approved for the previous 
LIHTC data collection. The Department anticipates collecting the same 
information to the extent that the it is available from individual tax 
credit agencies. Agencies will be allowed to provide the information 
either on the form or on a computer file.

    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: Number of respondents, 54; number of 
responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses, 54; hours per
