    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: HUD Survey Instructions and Report For Insured 
Multifamily Projects.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0010.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Form 
HUD-2457 provides the standards of performance for conducting surveys 
and preparing the maps of survey. It also identifies data that must be 
addressed to meet program requirements and provides a vehicle for the 
surveyor to certify compliance with applicable survey and reporting 
requirements. Furthermore, a land survey and related information are 
necessary to secure a marketable title and title insurance for the 
property that provides security for project mortgage insurance 
furnished under the FHA Multifamily programs. The Form HUD-2457 
describes the property to assure compliance with various regulatory 
provisions, e.g., flood hazard requirements, and to help determine the 
suitability and value of the property for the intended purpose. The 
Form HUD-2457 also provides necessary engineering data for project 
design for prosed construction projects.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: Form HUD-2457.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The number of respondents is 750, the 
frequency of responses is 2, for a total of 1,500 total annual 
responses. The estimated time to prepare collection is approximately 
0.5 hours, for a total annual burden hours of 750.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement, 
without change, of previously approved collection for which approval 
has expired.

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

    Dated: December 10, 2001.
