Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden estimate increased from the previous submission because the original Pilot Program was only limited to five Metropolitan areas. Based on the results of the Pilot Program, HUD has decided to expand the Section 3 Business Registry nationwide. Since the responses to the original surveys provided useful information to the Department, they will continue to be used to help inform the development of subsequent policies and procedures. The information collection for Section 3 businesses was revised to incorporate questions related to a new and relevant White House Initiative on young men and boys of color "My Brother's Keeper". Additionally, some of the original survey questions were removed because they did not produce valuable data and to improve user-friendliness.
