Approved with
the following conditions. (1) The HUD form 9746, "Specification of
Repairs," is not approved for use. The work write-ups included by
HUD in this submission do not appear to be confusing, as claimed by
the Department. In fact, they provide essentially the same
information that HUD would request on form 9746, but -- since a
particular format is not specified -- provide greater flexibility
to the respondents and allow conformity with standard industry
practice. We note that other HUD programs allow the submission of
work write-ups and have reported no problems. HUD may require that
work write-ups be submitted under this OMB approval.
