The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is requesting public comments regarding surveys to provide HUD with a way to estimate Section 8 Fair Market Rents in areas not covered by the American Community Survey annual reports and in areas where Section 8 Fair Market Rents may be inaccurate.  The change in this request from what has been approved is to include the use of cell phones, mail surveys and web-based surveys.  Comments are due to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by June 23, 2011.

For more information see the Federal Register notice.
