Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Housing Opportunities for Persons 
With AIDS (HOPWA): Grant Application Submission, Recordkeeping, and 
Reporting.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0133.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-40110-B, HUD-40110-C, HUD-40110-D, SF-424, SF-LLL, 
and HUD-2991.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
current paperwork reduction act approval under OMB Control No. 2506-
0133 covers both the HOPWA formula and competitive grant programs. The 
competitive grant program includes new competitive grants and renewal 
grants. The information collection requirements pertain to grant 
application submission requirements which will be used to rate 
applications, determine eligibility, and establish grant amounts. HOPWA 
plans to continue using form HUD-40110-B, HOPWA Competitive Application 
& Renewal of Permanent Supportive Housing Project Budget Summary, as a 
component of determining applicant eligibility and establishing grant 
amounts for competitive grants. Limited technical edits are proposed 
for form HUD-40110-B. HOPWA competitive and renewal application 
submission also require submission of the following forms: SF424; 
SFLLL; and HUD-2991. Form HUD-2991 is currently covered under OMB 
approval number 2506-0112.
    The addition of narratives to address the five HUD standard rating 
factors will allow HUD to rate application and further determine 
eligibility and establish grant amounts. Applicants applying for HUD 
competitive funds are required to respond to these five rating factors 
in narrative form. These narratives will complement the currently 
approved budget summary form, and allow HUD to determine if applicants 
are proposing projects within statutory and regulatory limitations. The 
five HUD standard rating factors include: Factor 1: Capacity of the 
Applicant and Relevant Organizational Staff; Factor 2: Need/Extent of 
the Problem; Factor 3: Soundness of Approach; Factor 4: Leveraging 
Resources; and Factor 5: Achieving Results and Program Evaluation. New 
HOPWA competitive applicants will be required to respond to each rating 
factor within the page limits establish in the grant solicitation. 
HOPWA renewal applicants will also be required to respond with 
narratives, but the information will be more limited and focused on 
continued compliance with the HOPWA program activities originally 
awarded until their initial grant application.
    The reporting and recordkeeping for both HOPWA formula and 
competitive grant programs are also included in this approval. 
Technical edits are proposed for forms HUD-40110-C and HUD-40110-D, and 
are limited to updating outdated references and information currently 
contained in the forms. Grantees provide annual information on program 
accomplishments that supports program evaluation and the ability to 
measure program beneficiary outcomes

[[Page 27717]]

related to: Maintaining housing stability; preventing homelessness; and 
improving access to care and support. Competitive grantees report 
through HUD-40110-C, the HOPWA Annual Performance Report (APR); Formula 
grantees report through HUD-40110-D, the HOPWA Consolidated Annual 
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Grantees are required to 
report on the activities undertaken only. HUD systematically reviews 
and conducts data analysis in order to prepare national and individual 
grantee performance profiles that are not only used to measure program 
performance against benchmark goals and objectives, but also to 
communicate the program's achievement and contributions towards 
Departmental strategic goals.
    Completed technical edits incorporated into forms covered by this 
proposed information collection, as discussed above.

I. HUD-40110-B, HOPWA Competitive Application & Renewal of Permanent 
Supportive Housing Project Budget Summary

    a. Cover page description. The statement, ``Selections of 
applications for funding under the HOPWA Program are based on the 
rating factors set forth in the SuperNOFA for Housing and Community 
Development Programs and the criteria established in the annual HOPWA 
renewal notice for those permanent supportive housing grantee's seeking 
renewal funding.'' changed to, ``Selections of applications for funding 
under the HOPWA Program are based on the rating factors set forth in 
the published Notice of Funding Award (NOFA) and the criteria 
established in the annual HOPWA renewal notice for eligible permanent 
supportive housing grantees seeking renewal funding.'' This edit 
reflects a change in Departmental process that now each program office 
releases a NOFA when funding is available to be awarded.
    b. Cover page description. The public reporting burden was updated 
on the budget form to show the number of hours it would take to 
complete the renewal grant application versus the new competitive grant 
application.
    c. Transparency Act Compliance. This section of the form was 
removed. All grantees are required to enter this information into 
Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Subaward 
Reporting System (FSRS) so it is no longer necessary to collect this 
information here.

applicants.

    Renewal grants are awarded for a three-year operating period. 
Currently, there are 82 eligible renewal grantees. The number of 
respondents listed for HOPWA renewal applications represents one-third 
of the renewal grantees, or the estimated number of grantees projected 
to renew HOPWA grants each year. The number of respondents listed for 
HOPWA competitive applications represents the number of respondents 
expected to submit an application if funding becomes available in the 
next three years. Form HUD-40110-C, the APR is submitted by all renewal 
and competitive grantees on an annual basis. The number of respondents 
for the APR include 82 renewal grantees, eight (8) current HOPWA 
competitive grantees, and nine (9) potential competitive grantees, if 
funding becomes available.
    HOPWA grantees and applicants may be required to respond to more 
than one piece of information collection. The total number of 
respondents include: 82 Renewal grantees, eight (8) current HOPWA 
competitive grantees, 40 potential competitive applicants, and 128 
current HOPWA formula grantees. The total of 552 total annual responses 
captures each unique response from the 258 respondents. All annualized 
costs reflect staff time spent on tasks in the table. The hourly rate 
is based on a GS-9 for Rest of United States. 26,713 hours * $23.85 = 
$637,105.05.
