    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 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 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: Utility Allowance Adjustments.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0352.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: When 
approval of a utility rate change would result in a cumulative increase 
of 10 percent or more in the most recently approved utility allowances 
for subsidized properties, the project owner must advise the Secretary 
and request new utility allowances. HUD uses this information to ensure 
that the utility allowances are appropriate for each unit type at the 
subsidized properties which provide utility allowances for its 
residents.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: None.

information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The estimated number of respondents

per response is 30 minutes per response, and the estimated annual hour 
burden is 600.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a 
currently approved collection.

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

    Dated: March 17, 2000.
