Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB; 
Assessment of the LIHTC Program After 15 Years

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.
    HUD has commissioned this study, an Assessment of the LIHTC Program 
after 15 Years, in order to understand whether projects that reach the 
15 Year mark are remaining affordable, what types of properties are or 
are not remaining affordable, and what major factors contribute to 
these outcomes. The answers to these questions will help inform future 
policy and program design for affordable housing nationwide. HUD 
believes that this study will also be of great interest to people 
actively working with tax credits, including syndicators, owners, 
investors, financial institutions, and public agencies.
