A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Reporting for HUD Research, 
Evaluation, and Demonstration Cooperative Agreements.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0299.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: PD&R 
intends to establish cooperative agreements with qualified for-profit 
and nonprofit research organizations and universities to conduct 
research, demonstrations, and data analysis. PD&R will issue a Notice 
of Funding Availability (NOFA) describing the cooperative research 
program. Management of PD&R cooperative agreements for research and 
demonstrations will require periodic reporting of progress. This 
information collection will be limited to recipients of cooperative 
agreements.
    Type of Request: (i.e. new, revision or extension of currently 
approved collection): Renewal.
    Agency Form Numbers: No agency forms will be used. The quarterly 
reporting will be accomplished through a short narrative report.
    Respondents: HUD anticipates that approximately 8-10 organizations 
will be selected for cooperative agreement award. Recipients of the 
cooperative agreements will be the sole members of the affected public 
for the reporting requirement.
    Members of Affected Public: For-profit and nonprofit organizations 
that apply to participate under the cooperative research agreements 
NOFA.
    Estimated Number of Respondents frequency of response, and hours of 
response: HUD anticipates that a maximum of 10 organizations will 
receive cooperative agreements. Quarterly progress reporting, other 
mandatory federal reporting and recordkeeping requirements are 
estimated at 36 labor hours annually for each awardee during the life 
of the agreement. The total estimated burden for progress reporting by 
all participants is 360 hours annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 360.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: The only cost to the respondents is 
that of their time.
