A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Promise Zones Preference Point
Certification Form.
OMB Approval Number: 2501-0033.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: HUD Form 50153.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
collection is a revision of the Promise Zone Preference Point
Certification Form (HUD Form 50153). The revisions to the form include
the addition of a Paperwork Reduction Act burden statement; the
addition of drop-down options to two of the information fields in the
form, which will result in less typing for the applicant and fewer
typos; the addition of HUD's agency name to the top of the form; and
the addition of descriptions to interactive fields to ensure 508
complaince. The Promise Zone Certification Form is used by federal
agencies to document that an application or proposal should receive
preferences for certain competitive federal programs and technical
assistance. The Certification Form should be submitted by organizations
applying for federal assistance, in the specific manner described in
notices, application materials and other
[[Page 29871]]
documents, providing instructions on applying for the specific federal
program from which the assistance is sought. The Certification Form
should be signed by the primary contact of the Lead Organization of a
designated Promise Zones community, an individual authorized to make
commitments on behalf of and legally bind the Lead Organization. The
Certification Form provides evidence to the federal agency
administering the program that the entity or entities named in the Form
are:
1. Engaged in activities, that in consultation with the Promise
Zone lead organization further the purposes of the initiative;
2. Proposing activities that either directly reflect the goals of
the Promise Zone or will result in the delivery of services that are
consistent with the goals of Promise Zone; and
3. Committed to maintain an on-going relationship with the Promise
Zone lead organization for the purposes of coordinating with other
Promise Zone activities, reporting on milestones and outcomes, and
collaborating with the lead organization and other Promise Zone
organizations in securing additional resources and partnerships, as
necessary.
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#5b2b29343632283e2134353e1b332e3f753c342d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="364644595b5f45534c595853765e435218515940">[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.
