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

    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Multifamily Contractor's/Mortgagor's Cost 
Breakdowns and Certifications.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0044.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Contractors use the form HUD-2328 to establish a schedule of values of 
construction items on which the monthly advances or mortgage proceeds 
are based. Contractors use the form HUD-92330-A to convey actual 
construction costs in a standardized format of cost certification. In 
addition to assuring that the mortgage proceeds have not been used for 
purposes other than construction costs, HUD-92330-A further protects 
the interest of the Department by directly monitoring the accuracy of 
the itemized trades on form HUD-2328. This form also serves as project 
data to keep Field Office cost data banks and cost estimates current 
and accurate. HUD-92205A is used to certify the actual costs of 
acquisition or

refinancing of projects insured under Section 223(f) program.
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-2328, HUD-92330-A, and HUD-
92205-A.
    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 number of burden hours is 5,840. 
The number of respondents is 350, the number of responses is 780, the 
frequency of response is on occasion, and the burden hour per responses 
is 5.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement with 
change of a previously approved collection.

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

    Dated: May 24, 2012.
