We have approved the collection of information from the CHAS interim final guidelines with the following comments. The agency shall respond shall respond to these comments in the final rule: Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.4(b)(1 and 3), HUD shall reexamine more fully the burden which the information collection impose on States and localities and propose alternatives for reducing that burden. 2)Specifically, HUD shall analyze how the burden on states and localities in collecting racial and ethnic data can be reduced, while meeting the requirements of the Housing and Community Developmen Act of 1987 and Fair Housing Act. 3) Further, HUD shall explain the practical utility of requiring so much detailed data on market characteristics. Specifically, HUD should show that the collection of data on the housing inventory, including ownership and rental status and vacancy data is the least burdensome necessary pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.4(b)(1). 4) HUD shall discuss how States and localities will provide the required information if the 1990 Census is unavailable in a reasonable time, and explain whether the 1980 data will be reliable enough to prepare the CHAS. HUD should explain how the accuracy of the data as a planning tool will change if 1980 Census data is used. 5) HUD should re-examine the burden estimates associated with this collection of information -- especially the estimated burden hours for citizen participation and preparation of the CHAS.
