[[Page 22221]]

requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to 
establish rents for certain subsidized rental projects. Under this 
legislation, HUD is charged with the responsibility of determining the 
method of rent adjustments and with facilitating these adjustments. 
Because rent adjustments are considered benefits to project owners, HUD 
must also provide some means for owners to appeal the decisions made by 
the Department or the Contract Administrator. This appeal process and 
the information collection play an important role in preventing costly 
litigation and in ensuring the accuracy of the overall rent adjustment 
process.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): Owners of certain subsidized 
multifamily rental projects.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 525.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 525.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Hours per Response: 2.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 1050.

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.
