collection. Agencies administering low income and affordable housing 
programs subject to maintenance prevailing wage rates use HUD Form 4750 
to recommend maintenance wage rates to HUD and use HUD Forms 4751 and 
4752 to collect data from local entities that employ personnel 
performing the same duties as the agency's maintenance staff. HUD uses 
the data collected from HUD Forms 4750, 4751, and 4752 to determine or 
adopt prevailing wage rates for maintenance laborers and mechanics 
employed in the operation of low income and affordable housing projects 
subject to Federal prevailing wage rates.
    HUD and local agencies that administer HUD-assisted projects will 
no longer be required to use the HUD Form 4230A for additional 
classification requests. Instead, HUD and local agencies will utilize 
the form SF-1444 and submit employer additional classification and wage 
rate requests to DOL when DOL approval is required. The information 
collection of the SF-1444 is contained in the OMB Control No. 9000-
0066.
