A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Congressional Earmark.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0179.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Form Number: SF-424.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Department's Office of Policy Development and Coordination administers 
congressionally mandated grants, known as earmarks. These projects have 
been identified in the annual appropriation of funds to the Department 
and in the accompanying conference reports or congressional record 
accompanying each appropriation. Earmarks generally fall into two 
categories: Economic Development Initiative-Special Project (EDI-SP) 
and Neighborhood Initiative (NI) grants.
    HUD's Office of Policy Development and Coordination and its 
Environmental Officers in the field use this information to make funds 
available to entities directed to receive funds appropriated by 
Congress. This information is used to collect, receive, review and 
monitor program activities through applications, semi-annual reports, 
and close out reports. The information that is collected is used to 
assess performance. Grantees are units of state and local government, 
nonprofits and Indian tribes. Respondents are initially identified by 
congress and generally fall into two categories: Economic Development 
Initiative-Special Project (EDI-SP) grantees and Neighborhood 
Initiative (NI) grantees. The agency has used the application, semi-
annual reports and close out reports to track grantee performance in 
the implementation of approved projects.
