SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A. The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on
the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on
September 1, 2021 at 86 FR 49044.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: CDBG Urban County Qualification/
New York Towns Qualification/Requalification Process.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0170.
Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved
collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (the Act), at
sections 102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires that any county seeking
qualification as an urban county notify each unit of general local
government within the county that such unit may elect to have its
population excluded from that of the urban county. Section 102(d) of
the Act specifies that the period of qualification will be three years.
Based on these statutory provisions, counties seeking qualification or
requalification as urban counties under the CDBG program must provide
information to HUD every three years identifying the units of general
local governments (UGLGs) within the county participating as a part of
the county for purposes of receiving CDBG funds. The population of
UGLGs for each eligible urban county is used in HUD's allocation of
CDBG funds for all entitlement and State CDBG grantees.
New York Towns may qualify as metropolitan cities if they are able
to secure the participation of all of the villages located within their
boundaries. New York Town that is located in an urban county may choose
to leave that urban county when that county is requalifying. New York
Town will be required to notify the urban county in advance of its
decision to decline participation in the urban county's CDBG program
and complete the metropolitan city qualification process.
