collections to HUD. The information is needed to assist HUD in 
determining the acceptability of a proposed management agent. Without 
these documents, HUD's ability to screen out unacceptable management 
agents and control fraud would be limited, and the incidents of 
defaults and unauthorized use of subsidy funds would increase.

& HUD-9839C.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the

response, and hours of response: The estimated total number of burden 
hours needed to prepare the information collection is 4,350; the number 
of respondents is estimated to be from 900 to 3,600 generating 
approximately 10,800 annual responses; the frequency of response is on 
occasion; and the estimated time needed to prepare the response varies 
from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
    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 26, 2003.
