SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting the proposed

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

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--Sales Contract and 
Addendums.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0306.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
collection was formerly 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 has been disaggregated into three 
smaller requests: one for the Good Neighbor Next Door Program, one for 
the Dollar Home Sales Program, and this request. This revision now 
presents only documents related to the Sales Contract and related 
addendums. Among the changes are a revised Form HUD-9548, Sales 
Contract, which brings the form into conformity with current property 
disposition program practices, a revised HUD 9548-B, Discount Sales 
Addendum, used for Sales to Nonprofit Organization and Governmental 
Entities (formerly the Land Use Restriction Addendum), and other 
addendums relating to lead-based paint. The Sales Contract and related 
addendums are used as binding contracts between purchasers and HUD and 
are necessary for the proper disposition of HUD-owned properties.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-9516-A, HUD-9519, HUD-9519-
A, HUD-9544, HUD-9548, HUD-9548-B, HUD-9548-C, HUD-9548-D, HUD-9548-E, 
HUD-9548-F, HUD-9548-G, HUD-9549-H, HUD-9545-Y, and HUD-9545-Z.
    Estimation of the total number 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 68,950 hours; the 
number of respondents is approximately 13,137, generating approximately 
165,775 annual responses; the frequency of response is ``on occasion''; 
and the estimated time needed to prepare the response varies from 6 
minutes to 30 minutes per response.
    Status of the proposed information collection: This is a revision 
of currently approved collection. The revision is necessary to 
disaggregate information collection related to the Good Neighbor Next 
Door Program and 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.
