Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Data Collection for HUD's 
Innovative Housing Showcase
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0346.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Innovative Housing Showcase (IHS) is a public event to raise awareness 
of new, innovative housing technologies, especially offsite constructed 
or factory-built housing. HUD is seeking potential exhibitors who have 
developed innovative housing technologies to show their technologies to 
the public.
    HUD seeks to collect information to identify exhibitors for the 
Innovative Housing Showcase (Showcase) and obtain information from 
exhibitors after the Showcase. Exhibitors provide key information about 
their products, allowing HUD to review and make informed decisions on 
this innovation to accept. The application form streamlines information 
collection by focusing on information required to vet the specific 
product that will be exhibited. The changes are a revision per the 
addition of a post-exhibit questionnaire. This new questionnaire 
solicits information from exhibitors on how to improve future showcases 
and how HUD can make the event more valuable for their company. It will 
not collect sensitive or proprietary information.
    Respondents: Product manufacturers, innovators, and construction 
industry stakeholders.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 160 (100 applicants and 60 responses 
are exhibitors who complete the exit interview after the end of the 
Showcase).
    Frequency of Response: 2.
    Average Hours per Response: 3 hours for application and .5 hours 
for the exit interview.
    Total Estimated Burdens: The cost to respondents to complete an 
application is estimated at the marketing manager's median hourly wage 
rate ($79.70) for 3 hours of work. The total estimated cost is $26,301 
($23,910 + $2,391).
