A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Survey of Market Absorption of New
Multifamily Units.
OMB Control Number: 2528–0013
(Expires 5/31/2014).
Form Number: H–31.
Type of Review: Regular Submission.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Survey of Market Absorption (SOMA)
provides the data necessary to measure
the rate at which new rental apartments
and new condominium apartments are
absorbed, that is, taken off the market,
usually by being rented or sold, over the
course of the first twelve months
following completion of a building. The
data are collected at quarterly intervals
until the twelve months conclude, or
until the units in a building are
completely absorbed. The survey also
provides estimates of certain
characteristics, including asking rent/
price, number of units, and number of
bedrooms. The survey provides a basis
for analyzing the degree to which new
apartment construction is meeting the
present and future needs of the public.
Beginning April 2014, the survey will
transition from paper questionnaire to
Computer-Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI).
Members of affected public: Rental
Agents/Builders.

Frequency of Response: Four times
(maximum).
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 6,000 (12,000 buildings × 30
minutes).
Estimated Total Annual Cost: The
only cost to respondents is that of their
time. The total estimated cost in FY
2014 is $1,750,000.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary .
Legal Authority: The survey is taken
under Title 12, United States Code,
Section 1701Z.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected

SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This information collection includes
requirements associated with specified
oil and gas industry activities and their
incidental taking of polar bears and
Pacific walruses in the Beaufort and
Chukchi Seas. The Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA) of 1972, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.)
imposed, with certain exceptions, a
moratorium on the taking of marine
mammals. Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the
MMPA directs the Secretary of the
Interior to allow, upon request by
citizens of the United States, the taking
of small numbers of marine mammals
incidental to specified activities (other
than commercial fishing) if the

Secretary makes certain findings and
prescribes specific regulations that,
among other things, establish
permissible methods of taking.
Applicants seeking to conduct
activities must request a Letter of
Authorization (LOA) for the specific
activity and submit onsite monitoring
reports and a final report of the activity
to the Secretary. This is a nonform
collection. Regulations at 50 CFR 18.27
outline the procedures and
requirements for submitting a request.
Specific regulations governing
authorized activities in the Beaufort Sea
are in 50 CFR part 18, subpart J.
Regulations governing authorized
activities in the Chukchi Sea are in 50

CFR part 18, subpart I. These
regulations provide the applicant with a
detailed description of information that
we need to evaluate the proposed
activity and determine whether or not to
issue specific regulations and,
subsequently, LOAs.
We use the information to verify the
finding required to issue incidental take
regulations, to decide if we should issue
an LOA, and, if issued, what conditions
should be in the LOA. In addition, we
analyze the information to determine
impacts to polar bears and Pacific
walruses and the availability of those
marine mammals for subsistence
purposes of Alaska Natives.
