Estimated Respondent Burden and Cost
HUD estimates the annual respondent burden at 3,647 responses totaling 9,560 hours and an estimated total respondent cost of $473,220 (using $49.50 per-unit cost figures). The table shows form-level counts: HUD-4750 (1,381 responses, 2,762 hours, $136,719), HUD-4751 (1,133 responses, 2,266 hours, $112,167), and HUD-4752 (1,133 responses, 4,532 hours, $224,334).
