SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD has

described in section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Thriving Communities Technical
Assistance NOFO.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Type of Request: New Collection.
Form Number: Application for Federal Assistance, SF424; Disclosure
of Lobbying Activities, SFLLL; Disclosure/Update Report, HUD-2880; and
NOFO narrative.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use:
Application information is needed to determine the competition winner,
i.e., the technical assistance provider best able to help jurisdictions
ensure housing needs are considered as part of their larger
infrastructure investment plan while supporting equitable development
and local economic ecosystems. Additional information is needed during
the life of the award from the competition winner, i.e., the technical
assistance providers, to fulfill the administrative requirements of the
award.
Respondents: Organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
Estimated Number of Responses: 10.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Hours per Response: 44.5.
Estimated Total Burden: 445.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: The total estimated cost is $23,300.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022 gave $25 million to the
Department of Transportation (DOT) for a Thriving Communities program.
HUD was directed, in the report language to the Appropriations Act, to
use $5 million of its technical assistance funding to work with the
Department of Transportation ``to ensure housing and infrastructure
development is taken into consideration as part of the thriving
communities program.''
The emergency review is needed to fulfill Congress' intent for the
HUD to expeditiously provide technical assistance to jurisdictions,
which are currently designing and implementing infrastructure
investments, to support them in to meet critical housing needs,
particularly for their low-income residents. Given the critical role
housing plays in the well-being of individuals and communities, this
opportunity to support more housing during this time of historic
investment is essential.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in
Section A on the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on

these questions.
