SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERA2) Final Quarterly

Description: The Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA2) program
authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the ``Act''),
Public Law 117-2, Title III, Subtitle B, Section 3201 of the Act
provides $21.55 billion for the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(Treasury) to make payments to Stated (defined to include the District
of Columbia), U.S. Territories (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam,
Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa), and certain local
governments with more than 200,000 residents (collectively the
``eligible grantees'') to provide financial assistance and housing
stability services to eligible households, and cover the costs for
other affordable rental housing and eviction prevention activities for
eligible households. ERA2 grantees are required to submit reports on
their utilization of ERA2 award funds electronically via Treasury's
Portal. These information collections permit Treasury to effectively
monitor the ERA2 grantees' compliance with the requirements of the ERA2
award terms. The ERA2 Final Quarterly Reports are due to be submitted
by all grantees no later than January 28, 2026. After the official
submissions of the ERA2 Final Quarterly Reports, Treasury and others
will use the information collection forms for on-going compliance
monitoring purposes, such as case-by-case reviews and follow-up with
individual grantees, and for standard recordkeeping.
Form: None.
Affected Public: State, Local, and Territorial Government
recipients of ERA2 awards including those that either fail to submit
timely ERA2 Final Quarterly Reports or who are requested to resubmit
reports for corrections or additional information.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 70.
Frequency of Response: One Time.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 70.
Estimated Time per Response: Five hours per respondent (on
average).
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 350 hours.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management
and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
through the use of technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
