SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60 days was published on August

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Green and Resilient Retrofit
Program (GRRP) Application Forms.
OMB Approval Number: 2502-0624.
OMB Expiration Date: 8/31/2023.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Numbers: HUD 5991, HUD 5992, and HUD 5993.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (``GRRP'') is newly funding
through Title III of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, H.R. 5376
(IRA), in section 30002 titled ``Improving Energy Efficiency or Water
Efficiency or Climate Resilience of Affordable Housing'' (the ``IRA''),
authorizing HUD to make loans, grants to improve energy or water
efficiency; enhance indoor air quality or sustainability; implement the
use of zero-emission electricity generation, low-emission building
materials or processes, energy storage, or building electrification
strategies; or address climate resilience of eligible HUD-assisted
multifamily properties. The program leverages significant technological
advancements in utility efficiency and adds a focus on preparing for
climate hazards--both reducing residents' and properties' exposure to
hazards and protecting life, livability, and property when disaster
strikes. With its dual focus, GRRP is the first program to consider, at
the national scale, how best to approach both green and energy
efficiency upgrades simultaneously with investment in climate
resilience strategies in multifamily housing. HUD is taking a multi-
faceted approach to deploy these funds multiple funding rounds and for
properties at different development stages.
Funding under this program will be made through multiple cohorts
under one or multiple Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) that will
detail the application process for eligible applicants. This collection
is necessary in order to receive applications requesting funding under
this program.
Respondents: HUD-assisted multifamily owners.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 680.
Estimated Number of Responses: 680.

Average Hours per Response: 15 hours.
Total Estimated Burden: 10,200.
