been collecting compensation information to enhance regulatory 
oversight by HUD, as well as state and local authorities. HUD provides 
the information collected to the public. The compensation data 
collected includes base salary and bonus, and incentive and other 
compensation, and the extent to which these payments are made with 
federal funds.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 4,000.
    Estimated Number of Responses: Approximately 4,000.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.

whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the

    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

    (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.
