OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 01/02/2014
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/25/2013
Terms of Clearance: HUD has approval for one year under the condition that it evaluates: Whether the form can be made more dynamic (e.g., for the “Other multiple race combinations” line, the fillable fileable PDF does not allow respondents to create additional lines to enter more than one race combination, for the “Other multiple race combinations” line, the PDF does not allow respondents to write text to describe the combination) Whether the form can be made simpler (e.g., instructions ask respondents to calculate percentages for the other multiple race combinations, but not for the other categories. Understanding that the combinations need to be greater than one percent, the precise listing may not be necessary) Whether the burden estimates are accurate (e.g., is the burden one hour or 1.15 hours per response, are there really 4.2 million applicants for HUD funding and organizations that tabulate race/ethnicity data, what is the staff time expended to compile and analyze this data)
