Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
The Innovative Housing Showcase (IHS) is a public event to raise awareness of new, innovative housing technologies, especially offsite constructed or factory-built housing. HUD is seeking potential exhibitors who have developed innovative housing technologies to show their technologies to the public.
HUD seeks to collect information to identify exhibitors for the Innovative Housing Showcase (Showcase) and obtain information from exhibitors after the Showcase. Exhibitors provide key information about their products, allowing HUD to review and make informed decisions on this innovation to accept. The application form streamlines information collection by focusing on information required to vet the specific product that will be exhibited. The changes are a revision per the addition of a post-exhibit questionnaire. This new questionnaire solicits information from exhibitors on how to improve future showcases and how HUD can make the event more valuable for their company. It will not collect sensitive or proprietary information.

Total Estimated Burdens:
The cost to respondents to complete an application is estimated at the marketing manager's median hourly wage rate ($79.70) for 3 hours of work. The total estimated cost is $26,301 ($23,910 + $2,391).
