The respondents are real estate
listing brokers for HUD-owned properties who submit sales contracts
and addenda in conjunction with offers to purchase HUD-owned
property. The sales contracts and addenda will be used in binding
contracts between the purchasers and HUD; and to meet the
requirements of the Lead Disclosure Rule relative to the disclosure
of known lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards in HUD sales
of pre-1978 construction.
There are several reasons for
the revision. The first is to disaggregate the collection to reduce
it to only those documents involved with the sale of HUD-owned
property. The second is to revise the Sales Contract (form
HUD-9548) and revise the Addendum for Discounted Sales to Nonprofit
Organizations and Governmental Entities (form HUD-9548-B). The
third is to discontinue three forms found not to collect
information from the public; three sales contract addendums, the
content of which has been incorporated into the revised Sales
Contract; and one sale contract addendum that has not been used in
several years and which will be rendered obsolete by the GNND rule.
The fourth reason is to include 4 forms to comply with the
Lead-Safe Housing Rule. These revisions result in a small decrease
in the number of respondents, and a substantial decrease in the
number of responses, burden hours, and costs.
