SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Condominium Project Approval 
Document Collection.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0610.
    Type of Request: Revision of current collection.
    Form Number: HUD-92541; HUD-935.2c; HUD 93201; and HUD-92544.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) moved the 
insurance of a single unit condominium from Section 234 to Section 203 
of the National Housing Act (NHA). This change required that HUD 
establish new regulations for condominium project and unit approval. To 
approve a project and/or insure a unit within an FHA-approved project, 
certain documentation and data are required for review and approval or 
denial. Therefore, requiring a specific collection item is appropriate. 
Further, the information collected will be used for performance, risk, 
market trending, and other analyses.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): Mortgagees, Condominium 
Associations, Builders, Developers, Attorneys, Management Companies, 
Project Consultants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 10,000.
    Frequency of Response: Biennially.
    Average Hours per Response: 3.
    Total Estimated Burdens: $3,173,000.

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,
