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: Community Development Block Grant
Entitlement Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0077.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
request identifies the estimated reporting burden associated with
information that CDBG entitlement grantees will report in IDIS for
CDBG-assisted activities, recordkeeping requirements, and reporting
requirements. Grantees are encouraged to update their accomplishments
in IDIS on a quarterly basis. In addition, grantees are required to
retain records necessary to document compliance with statutory and
regulatory requirements, Executive orders, 2 CFR part 200 requirements,
and determinations required to be made by grantees as a determination
of eligibility. Among the reports grantees now submit in IDIS is the PR
29 Cash on Hand Quarterly Report. This report is a conversion of the
SF-425. Federal Financial Report, that grantees submitted by hard copy,
but with the addition of data elements related to local account
repayment receipt funds and revolving loan funds that grantees may have
under their control. As a new form, included in this information
collection for the first time, it is also being presented for OMB
review and approval and public comment. Also, grantees are required to
prepare and submit their Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Reports, which demonstrate the progress grantees make in carrying out
CDBG-assisted activities listed in their consolidated plans. This
report is due to HUD 90 days after the end of the grantee's program
year. The information required for any activity is generally based on
the eligibility of the activity and which of the three national
objectives (benefit low- and moderate-income persons; eliminate/prevent
slums or blight; or meet an urgent need) the grantee has determined
that the activity will address.
Respondents: Grant recipients (metropolitan cities and urban
counties) participating in the CDBG Entitlement Program.
Estimation number of Respondents: 1,237.
Estimation Number of Responses: The proposed frequency of the
response to the collection is on an annual basis.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
