Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. There has been no change to the information being collected. However, there was a decrease in the number of respondents since the last approval. The date of compliance for HUD housing counselor certification is August 1, 2020. OHC has received less respondents than originally projected. For this new period, we expect 6,500 counselors will need to become certified by August 1, 2020. After the compliance date we expect a substantial reduction of use estimating 500 or less counselors a year. In the revision the burden hours are increased due to this reason. Cost figures have increased due to calculations required using BLS.gov. There have also been increases in the Federal salaries.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $126,326
