In order to provide its services to the American people, HUD collects certain information from the public. All such activities must have approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and are controlled under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: "to have Federal agencies become more responsible and publicly accountable for reducing the burden of Federal paperwork on the public". The Paperwork Reduction Act was implemented under 5CFR 1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public.
