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: Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
Homeless Assistance Grant Application.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0112.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
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 2506-0112, for the Recordkeeping for HUD's
Continuum of Care Program grant application.
The CoC Consolidated Application has three parts: the CoC
Application, CoC Priority Listing that lists all project applications
with a rank number determined by CoCs in their local competition
process, and Project Applications. HUD requires the submission of CoC
applications from Collaborative Applicants to capture information
related to the CoC's overall performance toward addressing homelessness
(e.g., reducing the number of homelessness, increasing income),
coordination with other federal and non-federal partners, planning
process (e.g., reducing homelessness, length of time homeless), and
other criteria required by the statute and current Administration
policies. The information provided in CoC applications is reviewed and
scored by HUD to determine the order in which HUD will select projects
based on the ranking communicated in the CoC Priority Listing. The CoC
Priority Listing collection notifies HUD if CoCs are reallocating
current projects to create new projects and most importantly, to rank
project applications with a unique number for funding consideration by
HUD and determines the order in which projects are selected in order of
each CoC. Project applications collect information for eligibility and
quality threshold review to determine suitability for funding
consideration. Successful project applications selected
[[Page 1183]]
for award receiving funding to carry out the activities approved by
HUD. 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 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: 405.
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) changes may occur annually in the number
of project applicants due to new project applicants applying for first-
time funding, expiring new projects becoming eligible for first-time
renewal, and other existing project applicants deciding to no longer
apply for funds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Frequency of Responses per Burden hour Annual burden Hourly cost
Information collection respondents response annum per response hours per response Annual cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CoC Consolidated Application............ 405 1 405 84 34,020 43.55 $1,481,571.00
Project Applications.................... 9,740 1 9,740 8.3 80,842 43.55 3,520,669.1

Total............................... 10,145 1 10,145 .............. .............. .............. 5,002,240.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
