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: Promise Zones Reporting.
OMB Approval Number: 2501-0035.
Type of Request: Reinstatement with changes.
Form Number: HUD-9916 Promise Zone Annual Narrative Report.
HUD-9917 Quarterly Investments & Assistance Report.
HUD-9919 Quarterly Progress and Annual Priorities Report.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
collection is a reinstatement with changes to a previous collection
that collected information for reporting purposes. The HUD-XXXX ``New
Neighborhood Amenities'' form, from the original 2501-0035 OMB
approval, has been removed from this collection because the form was
never used. Additionally, HUD Form 9917 (Bi-annual Non-Federal
Investment report) and HUD Form 9918 (Monthly Federal Grants Report)
have been merged so that HUD 9917 will now collect the information
previously captured in HUD 9918. HUD 9917 has therefore been
reformatted to collect this new information and to be more user-
friendly; HUD 9918 has been removed and retired from this collection.
HUD-9917 will now be called the Quarterly Investments and Assistance
Report; it will be collected quarterly and submitted cumulatively.
These changes will reduce unnecessary copying and pasting,
reformatting, and file management, and will ultimately reduce the
burden on respondents.
HUD designated fourteen communities as urban Promise Zones between
2014 and 2016. Under the Promise Zones initiative, the federal
government invests in and partners with high-poverty urban, rural, and
tribal communities to create jobs, increase economic activity, improve
educational opportunities, leverage private investment, and reduce
violent crime. Additional information about the Promise Zones
initiative can be found at <a href="https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/field_policy_mgt/fieldpolicymgtpz">https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/field_policy_mgt/fieldpolicymgtpz</a>, and questions can be addressed to
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e69694898b8f95839c898883a68e9382c8818990"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f78785989a9e84928d989992b79f8293d9909881">[email protected]</span></a>. The federal administrative duties pertaining to
these designations shall be managed and executed by HUD for ten years
from the designation dates pursuant to sections 2 and 3 of the HUD Act,
42 U.S.C. 3531-32, to assist the President in achieving maximum
coordination of the various federal activities which have a major
effect upon urban community, suburban, or metropolitan development; to
develop and recommend the President policies for fostering orderly
growth and development of the Nation's urban areas; and to exercise
leadership, at the direction of the President, in coordinating federal
activities affecting housing and urban development. To facilitate
communication between local and federal partners, HUD proposes that
Promise Zone Lead Organizations submit minimal reports and documents to
support collaboration and problem solving between local and federal
partners. These reports will also assist in communications and
stakeholder engagement, both locally and nationally.
Respondents: Fourteen Promise Zone Lead Organizations.
