Withdrawal of Request for Comment on Notice of Proposed

Information Collection Regarding Lead-Based Paint Hazards Reduction

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice withdraws the notice requesting public comments on

information collection requirements for the Requirements for

Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in

Federally Owned Housing and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance. The

notice requesting public comments was published in error.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Weitz, Department of Housing and

Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW, Room P-3206, Washington, DC

20410, telephone (202) 755-1785, ext. 106. This is not a toll-free

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 16, 1999 (64 FR 18923), HUD

published a notice of proposed information collection, requesting

public comments for a period of 60 days on the proposed information

collection requirements for

[[Page 24168]]

the Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-

Based Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Housing and Housing Receiving

Federal Assistance (``Requirements''). This notice was published in

error and therefore is withdrawn. The 60-day public comment request on

the information collection requirements will be published when the

final rule for the Requirements are published. Publication concurrently

with the final rule will allow the public to better comment on the

estimated burden. HUD expects that the requirements of the final rule

that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act will have a delayed

effective date that will provide sufficient time for public comment.

HUD also expects that this final rule will be published within the next

few weeks.

Dated: April 29, 1999.

Camille E. Acevedo,

Assistant General for Regulations.
