necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2)

    Title of Proposal: Management Reviews of Multifamily Projects.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0178.
    Form Numbers: 9834.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Its Proposed Use: 
The information collected from project owners and/or management agents 
is to evaluate the quality of project management; determine the causes 
of project problems; devise corrective actions to stabilize projects 
and prevent defaults, and to ensure that fraud, waste and mismanagement 
do not exist. This information also supports enforcement actions when 
owners fail to implement corrective actions.
    This information collection under OMB control number 2502-0178 
combines with that previously collected under 2502-0259 and collected 
from 36 Mortgagees of Co-Insured Projects. This single collection will 
now be used for both unsubsidized and subsidized projects.
    After review of public comments submitted following the previous 
notice, the burden estimate has been further revised.
