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 of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: Not applicable.
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. 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 particular 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: 1,227.
Estimation Number of Responses: The proposed frequency of the
response to the collection is on an annual basis.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Total Estimated Burdens: The total estimated burden is 574,236.
