A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Maintenance Wage Rate 
Recommendation.
    OMB Approval Number: 2501-0011.
    Type of Request: Revision with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Form Number: HUD-4750, HUD-4751, HUD-4752.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    This is a revision of a currently approved 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.
