Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of responses has decreases since the last submission and will continue to decrease over time because there are fewer owners who are using the AAF as the method of rent adjustment for their properties. The population of these properties is decreasing annually, and therefore the responses will decease annually. Beginning in FY1999, any project-based section 8 contract that expires must renew according to the requirements of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act which do not use the AAF as the method of rent adjustment.
