DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4563 N-14]


Notice of Proposed Information Collection for Public Comment; 
Insurance Information

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 Date: October 23, 2000.

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, SW, Room 4238, Washington, DC 20410-
5000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mildred M. Hamman, (202) 708-3642, 
extension 4128, 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) requires the PHA to insure their property for an amount 
sufficient to protect against financial loss. Completion of the HUD-
5460 is needed only when a new project is considered. 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: HUD-5460.
    Members of affected public: State or Local government.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: 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 the HUD-5460 is estimated to average one hour per response, 
including time for reviewing instructions, gathering data needed, and 
reviewing the collection of information. The annual burden hours per 
PHA should not exceed one hour, and the total hours for all combined 
would be approximately sixty.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension, without 
change.

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

    Dated: August 16, 2000.
Harold Lucas,
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
