Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment Request; 2023 New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS)

The Department of Commerce will submit the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on December 15, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. To allow for sufficient coverage of units built in the prior two years (since the prior survey year sample was selected), the sample size was increased by 200, from 15,500 to 15,700. Although the sample increased, the respondent burden hours were decreased from 9,907 to 9,867 because not all vacant units will now be reinterviewed, something that was originally included in the respondent burden calculation.
