SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting the proposed 
information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).
    This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to: 
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond; including the 
use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: HUD-Owned Real Estate--Dollar Home Sales 
Program.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-NEW.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
collection was formerly part of a collection titled Single Family 
Housing Property Disposition and Acquisition (Conveyance) of Mortgaged 
Properties. HUD published a Federal Register notice soliciting public 
comments on April 17, 2006 (Vol. 71, No. 73, pages 19746-19746). No 
comments were received. Since that publication, however, the 
information collection request for the Dollar Home Sales Program has 
been disaggregated. This revision now presents only documents related 
to the Dollar Home Sales Program. Among the information collections are 
a local government's notification to HUD of disposition strategies and 
public purpose goals; affirmation that all profits from re-sales of 
these Dollar Homes will go to support local housing/community 
development initiatives; identification of specific programs or uses 
any profits will support; identification of an agency of government to 
act as the local government's agent to purchase Dollar Homes; 
recordkeeping; and an annual report to HUD.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: None.
    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 688 hours; the number 
of respondents is approximately 110, generating approximately 825 
annual responses; the frequency of response is ``on occasion'' and 
annually; and the estimated time needed to prepare the response varies 
from 30 minutes to one hour per response.
    Status of the proposed information collection: This is a request 
for a new collection to disaggregate only those information collection 
requirements of the Dollar Home Sales Program.

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

    Dated: October 26, 2006.
Frank L. Davis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing--Deputy Federal Housing 
Commissioner.
