OMB has approved
this request for a limited time period. HUD failed to provide a
complete set of information collection instruments for which
reinstatement of approval was requested. HUD failed to supplement
the request when the deficiency was noted by OMB. The inadequacy of
the reqest was discussed with Wayne Eddins as well as other HUD
staff. Its next request for extension of approval must
comprehensively cover all information collection instruments
including any regulatory text for which approval is needed.
