SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: 2018 Rental Housing Finance 
Survey.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0276.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Agency Form Numbers: No agency forms will be used.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Rental Housing Finance Survey (RHFS) provides a measure of financial, 
mortgage, and property characteristics of rental housing properties in 
the United States. RHFS focuses on mortgage financing of rental housing 
properties, with emphasis on new originations for purchase-money 
mortgages and refinancing, and the characteristics of these new 
originations.
    The RHFS will collect data on property values of residential 
structures, characteristics of residential structures, rental status 
and rental value of units within the residential structures, commercial 
use of space within residential structures, property management status, 
ownership status, a detailed assessment of mortgage financing, and 
benefits received from Federal, state, local, and non-governmental 
programs.
    Many of the questions are the same or similar to those found on the 
1995 Property Owners and Managers Survey, the rental housing portion of 
the 2001 Residential Finance Survey, the 2012 Rental Housing Finance 
Survey, and the 2015 Rental Housing Finance Survey. This survey does 
not duplicate work done in other existent HUD surveys or studies that 
deal with rental units financing.
    Policy analysts, program managers, budget analysts, and 
Congressional staff can use the survey's results to advise executive 
and legislative branches about the mortgage finance characteristics of 
the rental housing stock in the United States and the suitability of 
public policy initiatives. Academic researchers and private 
organizations will also be able to utilize the data to facilitate their 
research and projects.
    The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) needs the 
RHFS data for the following two reasons:
    1. This is the only source of information on the rental housing 
finance characteristics of rental properties.
    2. HUD needs this information to gain a better understanding of the 
mortgage finance characteristics of the rental housing stock in the 
United States to evaluate, monitor, and design HUD programs.
    Members of Affected Public: Owners and managers of rental 
properties.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 60 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: The only cost to respondents is that 
of their time. The total estimated cost is $6,000,000.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. Section 9(a), and Title 12, 
U.S.C., Section 1701z-1 et seq.
