    Title of Proposal: Survey of HUD Homeownership Fair Attendees.
    Description of the Need for the Information and its Proposed Use: 
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development plans to survey 
persons as they arrive to attend HUD's Homeownership Fairs in June. HUD 
is conducting the survey to determine the demographic characteristics 
of people who attend, how they heard about the fair, and what they hope 
to learn from attending the Fair. HUD will not collect the name or 
other identifying information from those attending. The purpose of 
collecting this data is to better design the marketing and content of 
future Homeownership Fairs. The three research questions are: (1) Is 
the fair attracting a broad demographic spectrum of potential 
homebuyers? (2) What advertising source led to attendees of different 
demographic backgrounds attending? (3) What types of information were 
attendees hoping to learn at the Fair? The Homeownership Fairs are to 
be conducted as part of Homeownership Month in June 2005. The Fairs 
will be conducted in four communities, Albuquerque, Cincinnati, 
Orlando, and New Orleans. As estimated 4,000 people will attend the 
fairs.
    OMB Control Number: Pending OMB approval.
    Agency Form Numbers: None.
    Members of Affected Public: Attendees of HUD Homeownership Fair. 
Estimated of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
responses, and hours of response: An estimation of the total numbers of 
hours needed to prepare the information collection is 320, number of 
respondents is 4,000, frequency of response is 1 per annum, and the 
total hours per respondent is 0.048.

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

    Dated: April 28, 2005.
