Borrower's Cost Breakdowns and Certification.
    OMB Control Number, if Applicable: 2502-0044.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: Form 
HUD-2328 is used by contractors to establish a schedule of values of 
construction items on which the monthly advances or mortgage proceeds 
are based. HUD-92330-A is used by contractors to convey actual 
construction costs in a standardized format of cost certification. In 
addition to assuring that the mortgage proceeds have not been used for 
purposes other than construction cost, form HUD-92330-A further 
protects the interest of the Department by directly monitoring the 
accuracy of the itemized trades in form HUD-2328, and also serves as 
project data to keep field office cost data banks and cost estimates 
current and accurate. HUD-2205 is used to certify the actual 
construction and improvement costs of Section 220 and 234 projects. 
HUD-2205-A is used to certify the actual costs of acquisition or 
refinancing of projects insured under the Section 223(f) program.
    Agency Form Numbers, if Applicable: HUD-2328, HUD-92330-A, HUD-
2205, HUD-2205-A.
    Estimation of the Total Numbers of Hours Needed to Prepare the 
Information Collection Including Number of Respondents, Frequency of 
Response, and Hours of Response: The estimated number of respondents 
for form HUD-2328 is 500, the frequency of responses is 1, the number 
of hours per response is 8, for a total of 4,000 annual burden hours. 
The estimated number of respondents for form HUD-92330-A is 350, the 
frequency of responses is 1, the number of hours per response is 16, 
for a total of 5,600 annual burden hours. The estimated number of 
respondents for form HUD-2205 is 10, the frequency of responses is 1, 
the hours per response is 8, for a total of 80 annual burden hours. The 
estimated number of respondents for form HUD-2205-A is 75, the 
frequency of responses is 1, the number of hours per response is 8, for 
a total of 600 annual burden hours.
     Status of the Proposed Information Collection: Revision of a 
currently approved collection.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: February 26, 2001.
