SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: 24 CFR part 50--Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental Quality.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0177.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD
requests its applicants to supply environmental information that is not
otherwise available to HUD staff for the environmental review on an
applicant's proposal for HUD financial assistance to develop or improve
housing or community facilities. HUD itself must perform an
environmental review for the purpose of compliance with its
environmental regulations found at 24 CFR part 50, Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental Quality. Part 50 implements the National
Environmental Policy Act and implementing procedures of the Council on
Environmental Quality, as well as the related federal environmental
laws and executive orders. HUD's agency-wide provisions--24 CFR
50.3(h)(1) and 50.32--regulate how individual HUD program staffs are to
utilize such collected data when HUD itself prepares the environmental
review and compliance. Separately, individual HUD programs each have
their own regulations and guidance implementing environmental and
related collection responsibilities. For the next three years, this
approved collection will continue unchanged under this OMB control
number to assure adequate coverage for all HUD programs subject to part
50.

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
whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
HUD encourages interested parties to submit comments in response to
these questions.
