This request is
approved for the pilot test only. In its request for OMB approval,
HUD has described significant modifications to the method and
content of the information collection that are to be determined by
the outcome of the pilot test. Additionally, significant public
comments have been received regarding the proposed information
collection. In its next request for approval HUD should indicate
the results of the pilot test and how the information collection is
to be modified based upon the pilot test results. Also, HUD should
indicate its response to comments received from the public (New
York City Housing Authority, American Association of Homes and
Services for the Aging, Eileen Grey Consultants). In regard to its
request for OMB approval of the full survey to begin in the summer
of 1999, HUD need not provide for further public comment.
