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: Closeout instructions for CDBG Programs. OMB Approval Number: 2506-0193. Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection. Form Number: HUD 7082-Funding Approval Form. Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The closeout instructions apply to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs (State CDBG Program, CDBG Disaster Recovery Supplemental Funding, CDBG-Recovery Act (CDBG-R)) and Neighborhood Stabilization Programs (NSP) 1, 2, & 3. Section 570.509 of the CDBG regulations contains the grant closeout criteria for Entitlement jurisdictions when HUD determines, in consultation with the recipients that a grant can be closed. The State CDBG program does not have a regulatory requirement for closeouts but has relied on administrative guidance. This is also true for the NSP, CDBG Disaster Recovery and CDBG-R programs administrated by the state. States will use the Notice as a vehicle to verify that State CDBG funds have been properly spent before a grant may be officially closed. The HUD field office will prepare and send a closeout package that includes a transmittal letter, grant closeout agreement, grantee closeout certification and a closeout checklist to the grantee via email or standard mail. The information in the closeout package will assist the Department in determining whether all requirements of the contract between the Department and the Grantee have been completed. The HUD 7082 Funding Approval Form The Grant Agreement between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Grantee is made pursuant to the authority of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.). HUD will make the funding assistance as specified to the grantee upon execution of the Agreement. Respondents (i.e., affected public): This information collection applies to all States, Entitlement jurisdictions, Insular Areas, non- entitlement counties in Hawaii and those non-entitlement counties directly funded by NSP 3 and CDBG-DR. Estimated Number of Respondents/Estimated Number of Responses: The estimated combined number of respondents is 3,294 for the grant closeout task and for the HUD 7082 funding approval form. The proposed frequency of the response to the collection of information is annual to initiate the grant closeout reporting and submission of the funding approval agreement. The total annual reporting for grant closeout is estimated at 2,602.77 hours for 1,728 grant recipients. The annual submission of the HUD 7082 funding approval form is estimated at 468.5 hours for 1,566 grant recipients. Frequency of Response: At time of closeout. Average Hours per Response: 6.23. Total Estimated Burdens: 2,602.77 hours.
