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: Consolidated Plan, Annual Action 
Plan and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0117.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Form Number: SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Submission of the Consolidated Plan is required every 3-5 years for 
grantees who receive one or more of the formula grant programs 
administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's 
Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD). The formula grant 
programs include four formula block grant programs: Community 
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), 
Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons 
with AIDS (HOPWA); and one formula program for States: Housing Trust 
Fund (HTF). The requirement that grantees submit this information is in 
compliance with statutory provisions of the Cranston Gonzalez National 
Affordable Housing Act of 1990 that requires participating 
jurisdictions to submit a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy 
(Section 105(b)); the 1974 Housing and Community Development Act, as 
amended, that requires states and localities to submit a Community 
Development Plan (Section 104(b)(4) and Section 104(m)); and statutory 
provisions of these Acts that requires states and localities to submit 
applications and reports for these formula grant programs.
    The CDBG program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Following major 
disasters, Congress may appropriate supplemental CDBG funds for 
disaster recovery. According to Section 104(e)(1) of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, HUD is responsible for 
reviewing grantees' compliance with applicable requirements and their 
continuing capacity to carry out their programs. Grant funds are made 
available to states and units of general local government, Indian 
tribes, and insular areas, unless provided otherwise by supplemental 
appropriations statute, based on their unmet disaster recovery needs.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,505 (including 148 HOME 
Consortia).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 3,010.
    Frequency of Response: Twice per year.
    Average Hours per Response: See Charts broken out by Con Plan, 
Action Plan and CAPER.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 433,550 hours and cost of $19,294,595.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to 
these questions.
