A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Requirements for Notification, 
Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Federally-Owned 
Residential Properties and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance''.
    OMB Control Number: 2539-0009.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: None.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Provision of a pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention to tenants and 
purchasers, provision of a notice to occupants on the results of hazard 
evaluation and hazard reduction activities, special reporting 
requirements for a child with an environmental intervention blood lead 
level residing in the unit, and record keeping and periodic summary 
reporting requirements.
    Respondents: Residential property owners, housing agencies, Federal 
grantees, tribally designated housing entities or participating 
jurisdictions.
    The revised hour burden estimates are presented in the table below. 
In that table, the $15.36 hourly cost per response reflects the 
weighted average of cases, first, in which the respondent is simply 
giving someone a pamphlet, putting something in a file, or retrieving 
something from a file, and sending summary information from it to the 
Department, valued at $10.61 per hour; and second, processing notices 
as above as well as providing information in cases of lead-poisoned 
children, valued at $16.97 per hour. (These labor rates have been 
escalated by 3% from 2013 based on the Census Bureau's constant quality 
housing construction price index, since the work is in the housing 
trades.)
