[[Page 31414]] Form Number: SF-1199A, HUD-27055, SF-424, SF-425. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The information collected through HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR Sec. 93.402) is used by HUD Field Offices, HUD Headquarters, and HTF Grantees. The information on program funds committed and disbursed is used by HUD to track grantee performance and to determine compliance with the statutory 24-month commitment deadline and the regulatory 5-year expenditure deadline (Sec. 93.400(d)). The project-specific property, tenant, owner, and financial data is used to make program management decisions about how well program participants are achieving the statutory objectives of the HTF Program. Program management reports are generated by IDIS to provide data on the status of program participants' commitment and disbursement of HTF funds. These reports are provided to HUD staff as well as to HTF grantees. Financial, project, tenant and owner documentation are used to determine compliance with HTF Program cost limits (Sec. 93.404), eligible activities (Sec. 93.200), and eligible costs (Sec. 93.201). Other information collected under Subpart H (Other Federal Requirements) is primarily intended for local program management and is only viewed by HUD during routine monitoring visits. The written agreement with the owner for long-term obligation (Sec. 93.404(b)) and tenant protections (Sec. 93.303) are required to ensure that the property owner complies with these important elements of the HTF Program and are also reviewed by HUD during monitoring visits. HUD reviews all other data collection requirements during monitoring to assure compliance with the requirements of the Act and other related laws and authorities. HUD tracks grantee performance and compliance with the requirements of 24 CFR parts 91 and 93. Grantees use the required information in the execution of their program, and to gauge their own performance in relation to stated goals. Respondents (i.e., affected public): State grantees. Estimated Number of Respondents: 56. Estimated Number of Responses: 12,130. Frequency of Response: Most data are collected annually, though there are specific items that are requested monthly. Average Hours per Response: 2.16 hours. Total Estimated Burdens: 26,219 hours. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Regulatory section Paperwork requirement Number of Frequency of response Responses Reporting burden Annual cost responses per annum hours hours -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sec. 93.100(a)................
