remain in effect: 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)
