A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Survey of Market Absorption of New 
Multifamily Units.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0013 (Expires March 31, 2017).
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Survey of Market Absorption (SOMA) provides the data necessary to 
measure the rate at which new rental apartments and new condominium 
apartments are absorbed; that is, taken off the market, usually by 
being rented or sold, over the course of the first twelve months 
following completion of a building. The data are collected at quarterly 
intervals until the twelve months conclude, or until the units in a 
building are completely absorbed. The survey also provides estimates of 
certain characteristics, including asking rent/price, number of units, 
and number of bedrooms. The survey provides a basis for analyzing the 
degree to which new apartment construction is meeting the present and 
future needs of the public.
    Members of affected public: Rental Agents/Builders.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,000 yearly (maximum).
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes/initial interview and 5 
minutes for any subsequent interviews (up to three additional, if 
necessary).
    Frequency of Response: Four times (maximum).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,000 (12,000 buildings x 30 
minutes).
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: The only cost to respondents is that 
of their time. The total estimated cost to HUD in FY 2017 is 
$1,120,000.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: The survey is conducted under Title 12, United 
States Code, Section 1701Z.
