Disapproved and
continue. Previously-approved requirements are approve for 60 days.
Consequently: (1) The request to increase the sample size for
S&Ls is not approved. HUD has failed to provide an explanation
of and rationale for this change. If HUD would like to increase the
sample size for S&Ls, it should provide a rationale for the
increase in sample size (which indicates why the optimal sample
size is now 2,949 S&Ls) when it next resubmits this information
collection for OMB review. (2) The request to include "private
conduits" in this survey is not approved. HUD has failed to provide
any explanation or rationale for the inclusion of such entities in
this survey. It has also failed to indicate how many "private
conduits" would be included in the survey. If HUD would like to
include these entities in the survey, it should provide a rationale
for their inclusion and an indication of the precise number of
"private conduits" to be surveyed -- when it next resubmits this
information collection for OMB review. (3) HUD's request to reduce
its per response burden estimate is not approved. HUD has failed to
provide any evidence that the burden on the public has actually
been reduced.
