Specifically, HUD should show that the collection of data on the housing inventory, including ownership and rental status and vacancy data is the least burdensome necessary pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.4(b)(1). 4) HUD shall discuss how States and localities will provide the required information if the 1990 Census is unavailable in a reasonable time, and explain whether the 1980 data will be reliable enough to prepare the CHAS. HUD should explain how the accuracy of the data as a planning tool will change if 1980 Census data is used. 5) HUD should re-examine the burden estimates associated with this collection of information -- especially the estimated burden hours for citizen participation and preparation of the CHAS.
