SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is submitting the proposed
information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended).
This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy
of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the
[[Page 48914]]
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond;
including the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
This Notice also lists the following information:
Title of Collection: Section 3 Utilization Tools.
OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2501-0040.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
request is for a new collection to provide a voluntary sample tool for
Section 3 related entities, to document the Section 3 labor hours for
Section 3 workers and Section 3 Business concerns participating in
housing and community development programs with HUD funding. This
collection is reflective of the changes to the Section 3 regulation,
published in the Federal Register 9/29/2020. The completion and
submission of this Section 3 Utilization Plan meets the provisions of
Section 3 found in 24 CFR part 75, which is the current regulation
published pursuant to requirements in 12 U.S.C. 1701u, for the entities
identified within this plan. Grantees of HUD funded projects can use
this as a sample tool to document their Section 3 labor hours. This
collection is not a requirement but is to be used as a sample if
employers do not already have a process in place to document Section 3
labor hours. The Section 3 regulation requires each recipient to
maintain adequate records demonstrating compliance with the regulation.
(24 CFR 75.33(a)).
Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD Forms 4737, 4737 A-D.
Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of
response, and hours of response:
