This Notice also lists the following information: *Title of Proposal* : Technical suitability of Products Program, Section 521 of the National Housing Act. *OMB Control Number, if applicable* : 2502-0313. *Description of the need for the information and proposed use* : Section 521 of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1735e) which was added by Section 216 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 (Pub. L. 89-117) requires the Department to adopt a uniform procedure for the acceptance of materials and products to be used in structures approved for mortgages or loans insured under the National Housing Act. Under this program, manufacturers of nonstandard housing-related materials, products or structural housing systems must apply to HUD for a determination of technical acceptance. The two major categories of acceptance are structural building systems, subsystems, and components, and structural and nonstructural materials and products. Currently, the Department for this program requests the information when new applicants desire review and recognition. Without the information, the technical suitability of the products and materials for home construction cannot be determined. This program also helps to promote the use of innovative and new materials/products in homes with mortgages insured under the National Housing Act. *Agency form numbers, if applicable:* HUD-92005. *Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:* There are 2,050 total annual hours estimated for a total of 50 respondents. The frequency of collection is once per application, and each application is estimated to average approximately 41 hours. *Status of the proposed information collection:* Extension of a currently approved collection. Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended. Dated: July 30, 2001. Sean G. Cassidy, General deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing—Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner. [FR Doc. 01-19921 Filed 8-8-01; 8:45 am]
