SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Labor Standards Deposit Account
Voucher.
OMB Approval Number: 2501-0021.
Type of Request: This is an extension of a currently approved
collection.
Form Number: HUD-4734.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD,
State, Local and Tribal housing agencies administrating HUD-assisted
programs must enforce Federal Labor Standards requirements, including
the payment of prevailing wage rates to laborers and mechanics employed
on HUD-assisted construction and maintenance work that is covered by
these requirements. Enforcement activities include securing funds to
ensure the payment of wage restitution that has been or may be found
due to laborers and mechanics who were employed on HUD-assisted
projects. Also, funds ae collected for the payment to the U.S. Treasury
of liquidated damages that were assessed for violations of Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA). If the labor standards
discrepancies are resolved, HUD refunds associated amounts to the
depositor. As underpaid laborers and mechanics are located, HUD sends
wage restitution payments to the workers.
