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
November 22, 2022 at 87 FR 71351.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting
System (DRGR).
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0165.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) System is a grants management
system used by the Office of Community Planning and Development to
monitor special appropriation grants under the Community Development
Block Grant program. This collection pertains to Community Development
Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), Community Development Block
Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT), Community Development Block Grant National
Disaster Resilience Competition (CDBG-NDR), Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (NSP), Rural Capacity Building (RCB), Section 4, and Recovery
Housing Program (RHP) grant funds.
The CDBG program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Following major
disasters, Congress appropriates supplemental CDBG funds for disaster
recovery. According to Section 104(e)(1) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, HUD is responsible for reviewing grantees'
compliance with applicable requirements and their continuing capacity
to carry out their programs. Grant funds are made available to states
and units of general local government, Indian tribes, and insular
areas, unless provided otherwise by supplemental appropriations
statute, based on their unmet disaster recovery needs.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was established for
the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from
foreclosures and property abandonment. Authorized under Section 1497 of
the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111-203, approved July 21, 2010) (``NSP3''), NSP3 Technical Assistance
(TA) provides $20 million to organizations that are experienced and
successful in providing program, technical, planning, financial, and
organizational capacity building assistance, or consulting in such
areas as community development, affordable housing, organizational
management, financing and underwriting, construction and rehabilitation
management, land banking, project management and strategic planning.
Through the funding of national organizations with expertise in
rural housing and community development, the Rural Capacity Building
(RCB) and Section 4 programs enhance the capacity and ability of local
governments, Indian tribes, housing development organizations, rural
Community Development Corporations (CDCs), and rural Community Housing
Development Organizations (CHDOs), to carry out community development
and affordable housing activities that benefit low-and moderate-income
families and persons in rural areas.
The Recovery Housing Program (RHP) was authorized under section
8071 of the Support for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act. HUD
published its formula in the Federal Register on April 17, 2019 (84 FR
16027), identifying the 35 eligible grantees and allocation
percentages. Section 8071 of the SUPPORT Act (Section 8071) required
funds appropriated or made available for the RHP be treated as CDBG
funds under title I of the Housing and Community Act of 1974, unless
otherwise provided in Section 8071 or modified by waivers and
alternative requirements.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,378.
Estimated Number of Responses: 46,150.
Frequency of Response: Varies.
Average Hours per Response: Varies.
Total Estimated Burdens: 59,890.50 hours.
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
