collects information to determine the condition of the property upon 
conveyance, to determine the results of the repair contracts, and to 
monitor the contractor's performance in maintaining the properties. The 
sales contracts will be used as binding contracts between the purchaser 
and HUD. In addition, HUD requires information regarding HUD-owned 
single family properties purchased by local governments through the 
$Home Sales Program. There are two new forms dealing with the 
disposition of HUD-owned properties that are financed with HUD's 203(k) 
program of rehabilitation.

    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 estimated number of burden hours 
needed to prepare the information collection is 102,632 hours; the 
number of respondents is 13,735 generating approximately 348,439 annual 
responses; the frequency of response is on occasion; and the estimated 
time needed to prepare the response varies from two minutes to one hour 
per response.
    Status of the proposed information collection: This is a revision 
of a currently approved collection.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 
35, as amended.

    Dated: April 11, 2006.
