Title of Information Collection: Section 3 Utilization Tools.

Form Number: HUD Form 4737, HUD Form 4737-A, HUD Form 4737-B, HUD
Form 4737-C, HUD Form 4737-D.
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. 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)).
