ADDRESSES:

A. Overview of Information Collection

[Docket No. FR–7029–N–02]

SUMMARY:

Comments Due Date: April 14,

2020.

Title of Information Collection:
Strategies for Removing the Regulatory
Impediments to the Financing and
Siting of Factory-Built Housing in
American Communities.
OMB Approval Number: N/A.
Type of Request (i.e., new, revision or
extension of currently approved
collection): New collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: To
assess the cost-effectiveness of factorybuilt housing as a potential affordable
housing option in urban and suburban
communities, HUD seeks to better
understand the regulatory barriers
preventing or limiting the use of factorybuilt housing. This study is framed by
the general research question: What are
the main drivers or barriers to the
financing, siting and development of
factory-built housing systems in various
communities? A significant portion of

PO 00000

Frm 00069

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

the work of this study will involve
identifying the types of barriers, their
potential impact (or stringency), and
their use in various communities. This
process will involve research on several
different communities in order to
develop a typology of different barriers,
catalog the community contexts where
different barriers are more prevalent,
and develop opportunity cost estimates
of different barriers in different
contexts. Information will be collected
online and by telephone from local land
use planning officials and
manufacturers and dealers of factorybuilt housing to help determine the
extent to which regulatory barriers limit
the development of factory-built
housing systems as an affordable
housing option.
Members of affected public: This
study will involve collecting
information from two primary groups
(1) Local land use planning officials (2)
Manufacturers and dealers of factorybuilt housing.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
125. The objective of this study is to
conduct in-depth telephone interviews
with local land use planning officials on
regulatory barriers to factory-built
housing from a sample of 30
communities, for a total of 30 completed
interviews. The study team anticipates
contacting multiple individuals in the
land use planning department from each
sampled community to ascertain the
targeted respondent. Therefore, the total
estimated number of community
respondents is estimated at 120 (i.e., 4
persons per community). In-depth
interviews will also be conducted with
5 manufacturers or dealers of factorybuilt housing.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.36
hours. The estimated time per response
will vary depending on the respondent
category (e.g., informant vs. respondent)
and may range from 5 to 45 minutes. Indepth interviews will not exceed 45
minutes. Across all study respondents,
the average estimated time per response
is 0.36 hours.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 45 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: The
only cost to respondents is that of their
time estimated to be $1,740.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: The survey is
conducted under Title 12, United States
Code, Section 1701Z and Section 3507
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44, U.S.C., 35, as amended.
