This information is collected from State and local governments to assess the adequacy of their existing housing standards to meet HUD's minimum requirements. These Standards will protect the Department's interest by requiring certain features of design and construction.
This is an extension of a currently approved collection. The program area has not experienced a significant change in evaluation requests. However, an increase in requested annual hours is due to the clarification that local building jurisdictions must update the application when changes to the building codes are made.
