Approved for six months only. This is the third clearance con- dition requiring electronic submission without an adequate res- ponse from the Office of Housing. Electronic signatures are hard ly in their infancy--they are used widely and reliably. OH has displayed no evidence that this means of substantial burden re- duction has ever been considered seriously. The next submission shall contain a workable plan for transition to electronic submission that OMB shall consider binding. That pl an shall contain a schedule that completes electronic submission with all deliberate speed. Future ICRs shall be monitored for com pliance with that plan.
