DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-5117-N-79]


Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB; 
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Database

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.
    There continues to be great interest in the Low Income Housing Tax 
Credit Program at HUD, the Department of Treasury, and from many other 
sources. Unfortunately, since the program is independently administered 
by more than 50 different state housing agencies, there would be no 
centralized sources of data about the units that have been developed 
with this federal subsidy without this data collection effort.

DATES: Comments Due Date: October 18, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding 
this proposal. Comments should refer to the proposal by name and/or OMB 
approval Number (2528-0165) and should be sent to: HUD Desk Officer, 
Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, 
Washington, DC 20503; fax: 202-395-6974.
