    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (42 
U.S.C. 13604) imposed on HUD the obligation to require housing 
providers participating in HUD's assisted housing programs to provide 
any individual or family applying for occupancy in HUD-assisted housing 
with the option to include in the application for occupancy the name, 
address, telephone number, and other relevant information of a family 
member, friend, or person associated with a social, health, advocacy, 
or similar organization. The objective of providing such information, 
if this information is provided, and if the applicant becomes a tenant, 
is to facilitate contact by the housing provider with the person or 
organization identified by the tenant, to assist in providing any 
delivery of services or special care to the tenant and assist with 
resolving any tenancy issues arising during the tenancy of such tenant. 
This supplemental application information is to be maintained by the 
housing provider and maintained as confidential information.

    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 public reporting burden for this 
collection of information is estimated as the number of hours needed to 
prepare the information collection is 91,195.50 annually, the estimated 
number of respondents is 364,782 annually, the frequency of response is 
monthly generating 240,756 responses annually, and the estimated time 
per response is approximately 10 minutes.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension of a 
currently approved collection.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.,
