Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use

    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD's 
Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) will use the pre-award and 
post-award information collected to assess program compliance, monitor 
grantee performance throughout the grant term, and to report annually 
to Congress. ONAP is responsible for managing the IHBG Formula and IHBG 
Competitive programs, as described below.
    IHBG Formula Program: The Native American Housing Assistance and 
Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) (NAHASDA) 
authorizes the IHBG Formula program. The program supports the 
development, management, and operation of affordable homeownership and 
rental housing; infrastructure development; and other forms of housing 
assistance intended for low-income persons. Federally recognized Native 
American tribes, Alaska Native villages, tribally designated housing 
entities, and a limited number of State-recognized tribes that were 
funded under the Indian Housing Program authorized by the U.S. Housing 
Act of 1937 are eligible to receive IHBG funds. Under the IHBG Formula 
Program, eligible recipients receive an equitable share of funds as 
appropriated by Congress.
    IHBG Competitive Program: Since 2018, Congress has appropriated 
additional funding for the IHBG Competitive Grant (IHBG-COMP), also 
under assistance listing 14.867. IHBG-COMP prioritizes projects that 
increase the availability of affordable housing in Tribal communities 
with consideration to extent of need and administrative capacity. The 
regulations and requirements governing the IHBG formula program apply 
to the IHBG Competitive program. The IHBG-COMP Notices of Funding 
Opportunities (NOFO) are published on <a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a>, where applicants 
submit applications.
    Annual Reporting Burden: The annual reporting burden hours are 
based on the estimates provided below.
