202 Housing for the Elderly, and Section 811 Housing for Persons with 
Disabilities.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0470.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
submission, for which the Department is requesting clearance, is to 
permit the continued processing of all Sections 202 and 811 capital 
advance projects that have not yet been finally closed. The submission 
includes processing of the application for firm commitment to final 
closing of the capital advance. The information collection is needed to 
assist HUD in determining the Owner's eligibility and capacity to 
finalize the development of a housing project under the Section 202 and 
Section 811 Capital Advance Programs. A thorough evaluation of an 
Owner's capabilities is critical to protect the Government's financial 
interest, and to mitigate any possibility of fraud, waste, and 
mismanagement of public funds.
