    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-92458 Rent Schedule--Low Rent Housing.
    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-2205A is used to certify 
the actual costs of acquisition or refinancing of projects insured 
under Section 223(f) program.
