24 C.F.R. § 35.106
§ 35.106 Information collection requirements. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
The information collection requirements contained in this part have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 2501-3520), and have been assigned OMB control number 2539-0009. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection displays a valid control number.
Section 35.106 of 24 CFR Part 35 establishes that the data-collection and reporting requirements found throughout Part 35 — which governs lead-based paint hazard reduction — have been reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, carrying OMB control number 2539-0009. Federal law prohibits agencies from running, and individuals from being legally obligated to respond to, any information-collection request that does not display a valid OMB control number. This provision is essentially an administrative compliance marker confirming that the paperwork burdens imposed by Part 35 have cleared the required federal review process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to the lead-based paint disclosure and hazard-reduction requirements of 24 CFR Part 35 should be aware that § 35.106 confirms those requirements carry a valid OMB approval, currently assigned control number 2539-0009. Compliant operators generally verify that any federal forms or reporting instruments they use in connection with Part 35 display this control number before submitting information. Familiarity with this provision helps operators recognize that only federally approved information-collection instruments carry a legal obligation to respond.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 35.106 of 24 CFR Part 35, tenants are not legally required to respond to any information-collection request — including forms related to lead-based paint disclosures — unless that request displays a valid OMB control number, which for Part 35 is 2539-0009. This provision gives tenants a basis to question the legitimacy of any paperwork that lacks this identifier. Tenants who have concerns about whether a particular form or disclosure process complies with Part 35 may consult a local tenant-rights organization or a HUD-approved housing counselor for general guidance.
