A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Grant Drawdown Payment Request/
LOCCS/VRS Voice Activated.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0166.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: 50080-CFP; 50080-SC; 50080-PHTA; 50080-OFND; 50080-
URP; 50080-FSS; 50080-IHBG; 50080-TIHD.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: On 
April 17, 2017, the Grant Drawdown Payment Request/Voce Response System 
(VRS) was converted to a Business Partner Registration and Secure 
Systems for both the user and their Approving Official. The Secure 
Systems supports many of HUD applications, of which Line of Credit 
Control System (eLOCCS) is one of them. eLOCCS is implementing Single 
Sign-On solution under Secure Systems, where Grant recipients will be 
recognized and authenticated based on a Secure System ID and will no 
longer separately Sign-in to eLOCCS. Grant recipients use LOCCS system 
to request funds from HUD by signing into Secure Systems, as they 
normally do, and select Line of Credit Control System (eLOCCS) link. 
The Grantees (all new or reinstated user who need to access eLOCCS) 
will need to complete the LOCCS HUD-27054E form, have it notarized, 
send the original HUD-27054E LOCCS Access Authorization Form (with the 
original signature and notary seal) via U.S. Mail to the Program Office 
for review. The LOCCS system will automatically generate an Access 
Authorization email letting the user know that HUD-27054E has been 
processed, enabling grantees to access their eLOCCS account. The 
information collected on the payment voucher will also be used as an 
internal control measure to ensure the lawful and appropriate 
disbursement of Federal funds as well as provide a service to program 
recipients.
