The reduction in burden hour cannot be approved by OMB because there is insufficient information in the justification of this paperwork package regarding why the number of responses dropped from 2,935,661 to 1,233,948. In its next submission, HUD shall provide a more detailed explanation as to why responses have declined if HUD would like a reduction in burden hours.

For example, what is the number of families utilizing the federal preferences that are displace paying more than 50% family income for rent or who are currently occupying substandard housing.
