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 remove 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. Lastly, to include already established HUD
SAMS forms that are directly involved with the maintenance and
marketing of single-family acquired properties, better known as HUD
Homes.
