Private Rental Survey Continues
The Department of the Interior is renewing the Private Rental Survey without change and will continue contacting property management companies and rental property owners. About 1,883 businesses are estimated to be contacted annually, with a total of 3,539 responses (OS-2000: 3,180; OS-2001: 359), 6 minutes per OS-2000 response and 4 minutes per OS-2001 response, and a total estimated burden of 342 hours; responses are voluntary and generally occur once every four years. The agency is accepting comments on this renewal through June 8, 2026 (OMB Control Number 1084-0033).
Survey Avoids Higher Taxpayer Costs
The survey provides private-market rental data that DOI and other Federal agencies use to manage Government Furnished Housing. The notice says that without this survey the agencies would need to use professional real estate appraisals of private market rental costs, which would impose increased cost to the taxpayer.
