    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Developers of new projects describe their intent (marketing efforts) to 
assure that they meet the Fair Housing guidelines in how the project is

Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing requirements of 24 CFR 200.600 and 
review compliance with these requirements under 24 CFR part 108, the 
AFHM Compliance Regulations.

which includes time for initial submission, review of existing plans, 
and any necessary revision. On an annual basis, there are approximately 
4,360 respondents who submit initial plans or updated plans. On an 
annual basis, an additional 3,720 respondents simply review their 
existing plans. The frequency of annual response is once, and the 
average burden hour per response is 6 hours for the initial plan 
submitted, and 4 hours for review and the updating of an existing plan.
