SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0077.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This request identifies the estimated reporting burden associated with information that CDBG entitlement grantees will report in IDIS for CDBG-assisted activities, recordkeeping requirements, and reporting requirements. Grantees are encouraged to update their accomplishments in IDIS on a quarterly basis. In addition, grantees are required to retain records necessary to document compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, Executive orders, 2 CFR part 200 requirements, and determinations required to be made by grantees as a determination of eligibility. Among the reports grantees now submit in IDIS is the PR 29 Cash on Hand Quarterly Report. This report is a conversion of the SF-425. Federal Financial Report, that grantees submitted by hard copy, but with the addition of data elements related to local account repayment receipt funds and revolving loan funds that grantees may have under their control. As a new form, included in this information collection for the first time, it is also being presented for OMB review and approval and public comment. Also, grantees are required to prepare and submit their Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports, which demonstrate the progress grantees make in carrying out CDBG-assisted activities listed in their consolidated plans. This report is due to HUD 90 days after the end of the grantee's program year. The information required for any activity is generally based on the eligibility of the activity and which of the three national objectives (benefit low- and moderate-income persons; eliminate/prevent slums or blight; or meet an urgent need) the grantee has determined that the activity will address.
Respondents: Grant recipients (metropolitan cities and urban counties) participating in the CDBG Entitlement Program.
Estimation number of Respondents: 1,237.
Estimation Number of Responses: The proposed frequency of the response to the collection is on an annual basis.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
