A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Generic Customer Satisfaction 
Surveys Physical Inspection Alignment Pilot Program--Expansion 
Announcement.
    OMB Approval Number: 2535-0116.
    Type of Request: Change Request.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
collection would assist the working group in better understanding the 
capabilities of state agencies to conduct inspections and their level 
of interest in participating in an expanded pilot. While candidates to 
join the pilot could be selected through limited private contact, this 
announcement creates a more even playing field for states who may wish 
to participate rather than favoring those states which may have heard 
about the program through other means. The responses will also be used 
by the working group to refine our communications, outreach, and 
training approaches. The working group has received positive feedback 
from states that the collaboration it facilitates is valuable and is 
something that they actively seek to participate in.
    This is an existing pilot program currently involving less than ten 
respondents. This information will primarily be used by the working 
group to improve the administration of the pilot. It will also allow 
the working group to identify states that might be interested in 
participating in an expanded 2014 pilot. This information will not be 
distributed beyond the working group, nor will it be used for any other 
purpose.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): State housing agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 70.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 25.
    Frequency of Response: 1 time.
    Average Hours per Response: .25 hour.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 6.25.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to 
these questions.

     Authority:  Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

    Dated: November 14, 2013.
Colette Pollard,
Department Reports Management Officer, Office of the Chief Information 
Officer.
