In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for a
period of three years. However, the agency should determine as
quickly as possible whether the burden associated with their use of
HUD and DOL forms is accounted for under OMB's approval for HUD and
DOL information collections. If the burden has been appropriately
accounted for under existing OMB approvals, the agency should
submit a change worksheet to remove the hours associate with those
forms from this collection. The agency must also revise RD
Instruction 1901.202 (g) to be consistent with OMB guidelines for
race and ethnicity within the next year.
