SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
Registration.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0182.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
[[Page 97650]]
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
submission is to request an extension of an existing collection in use
with OMB Control Number 2506-0182, for the Recordkeeping for HUD's
Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Grant Application--Continuum of
Care Registration. CoC Program Collaborative Applicants complete forms
registering CoCs prior to the annual CoC Program Competition, which
collects each CoCs number and name (designated by HUD), the geographic
codes selected by CoCs to designate the areas each CoC covers to
provide housing and services to individuals and families experiencing
homelessness. The information collected during the registration process
is used by HUD to determine the CoCs that will submit a CoC
Consolidated Application when the Competition process opens.
During CoC Program Registration, Collaborative Applicants may also
request Unified Funding Agency (UFA) or High Performing Community (HPC)
designation. If requesting UFA or HPC designation, additional forms and
attachments created by the Collaborative Applicant or CoC are submitted
for HUD's review to determine eligibility. The statutory and regulatory
requirements related to the CoC Program and applicable supplementary
documents are located on the CoC Program page on HUD's website.
Respondents (i.e., affected public): Nonprofit organizations,
states, local governments, and instrumentalities of state and local
governments, Indian Tribes, Tribally Designated Housing Entities
(TDHEs) (as defined in section 4 of the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4103)), and
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), as such term is defined in 24 CFR
5.100.
Information Collection/Form Number: Information is collected via
the electronic e-snaps application system.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 405.
Estimated Number of Responses: 405.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Responses per Annum: 835.
Average Hours per Response: See chart.
Total Estimated Burdens: See chart; however, the information
included in the chart below is subject to change due to: 1) increase or
decrease, based on the number of CoCs due to CoC mergers, splits, or
creation of new CoCs; and 2) submission of UFA and HPC registration
forms due to the number of Collaborative Applicants requesting UFA
designation and the number of CoCs requesting HPC designation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Responses to UFA and HPC designations are subsets of the total 405 basic registration numbers as the basic CoC Registration is completed by all
Collaborative Applicants to register the CoCs. On average there are 20 requests for UFA designation and to date no requests for HPC designation. The
total number of respondents is subject to change annually due to CoCs merging or splitting and with newly created CoCs due to authorizing language
expanding eligibility (e.g., FY 2021 appropriations language authorizing the Indian Tribes and TDHEs eligibility to form CoCs, submit CoC Consolidated
applications, and project applications).
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

these questions.
