DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4971-N-54]


Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection To OMB; 
Consumer Perceptions of Factory-Built Housing

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described 
below has been 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.
    This request is for the clearance of a survey instrument that would 
gauge current consumer perceptions of factory-built housing 
technologies with as primary focus on panelized and modular housing. 
One of the strategic goals outlined in HUD's Partnership for Advancing 
Technology in Housing is the increased focus on attitudes, behaviors, 
and motives surrounding innovation. Measuring consumer perceptions of 
factory-build housing provides such insight, and will also provide 
otherwise unavailable information essential to measuring the 
effectiveness of PATH's outreach and promotional campaigns.
