Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Application for the Community
Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program for Indian.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0191.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: SF-425 and Annual Status and Evaluation Report (ASER).
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Title
I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 authorizes
Indian Community Development Block Grants (ICDBG) and requires that
grants be awarded annually on a competitive basis. The purpose of the
ICDBG program is to develop viable Indian and Alaska Native communities
by creating decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic
opportunities primarily for low- and moderate-income persons.
Consistent with this objective, not less than 70 percent of the
expenditures are to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Eligible
applicants include Federally recognized tribes, which includes Alaska
Native communities, and tribally authorized tribal organizations.
Eligible categories of funding include housing rehabilitation, land
acquisition to support new housing, homeownership assistance, public
facilities and improvements, economic development, and microenterprise
programs. For a complete description of eligible activities, please
refer to 24 CFR part 1003, subpart C.
The ICDBG program regulations are at 24 CFR part 1003. The ICDBG
program requires eligible applicants to submit information to enable
HUD to select the best projects for funding during annual competitions.
Additionally, the information submitted is essential for HUD in
monitoring grants to ensure that grantees are complying with applicable
statutes and regulations and implementing activities as approved.
ICDBG recipients are required to submit annually a Federal
Financial
[[Page 24644]]
Report (SF-425) that describes the use of grant funds drawn from the
recipient's line of credit. The reports are used to monitor cash
transfers to the recipients and obtain expenditure data from the
recipients as described in (2 CFR 200.327).
The regulations at 24 CFR part 200 require that grantees and sub-
grantees take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority
firms, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are
used when possible. Consistent with these regulations, 24 CFR
1003.506(b) requires that ICDBG grantees submit to HUD a report on
contract and subcontract activity on October 10 of each year.
The regulations at 24 CFR 1003.506 instruct recipients to submit to
HUD an Annual Status and Evaluation Report (ASER) that describes the
progress made in completing approved activities with a listing of work
to be completed; a breakdown of funds expended; and when the project is
completed, a program evaluation expressing the effectiveness of the
project in meeting community development needs. The ASER is due within
90 days of the date it is determined that the criteria for closeout
have been met. The information collected will allow HUD to accurately
audit the program. Form HUD-2516 will no longer be used in this
collection, and HUD would like to request the form be discontinued.
Respondents: Federally recognized Native American Tribes, Alaska
Native communities and corporations, and tribal organizations.
