A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: HUD Acquisition Regulation (HUDAR) 
(48 CFR 24).
    OMB Approval Number: 2535-0091.

    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
HUDAR (48 CFR 24) contains the Department's supplement to the Federal

    (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

    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
