A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Indian Community Development Block 
Grant.
    OMB Approved Number: 2577-0191.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-4123, HUD-4125.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Title 
I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 authorizes 
Indian Community Development Block Grants (ICDBG) and requires that 
grants be awarded annually on a competitive basis. The purpose of the 
ICDBG program is to develop viable Indian and Alaska Native communities 
by creating decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic 
opportunities primarily for low- and moderate-income persons. 
Consistent with this objective, not less than 70 percent of the 
expenditures are to benefit low and moderate-income persons. Eligible 
applicants include Federally-recognized tribes, which includes Alaska 
Native communities, and tribally authorized tribal organizations. 
Eligible categories of funding include housing rehabilitation, land 
acquisition to support new housing, homeownership assistance, public 
facilities and improvements, economic development, and microenterprise 
programs. For a complete description of eligible activities, please 
refer to 24 CFR part 1003, subpart C.
    The ICDBG program regulations are at 24 CFR part 1003. The ICDBG 
program requires eligible applicants to submit information to enable 
HUD to select the best projects for funding during annual competitions. 
Additionally, the information submitted is essential for HUD in 
monitoring grants to ensure that grantees are complying with applicable 
statutes and regulations and implementing activities as approved.
    ICDBG applicants must submit a complete application package which 
includes an Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), Applicant/
Recipient Disclosure/Update Report (HUD-2880), Cost Summary (HUD-4123), 
and Implementation Schedule (HUD-4125). If the applicant has a waiver 
of the electronic submission requirement and is submitting a paper 
application, an Acknowledgement of Application Receipt (HUD-2993) must 
also be submitted. If the applicant is a tribal organization, a 
resolution from the tribe stating that the tribal organization is 
submitting an application on behalf of the tribe must also be included 
in the application package.
    ICDBG recipients are required to submit a quarterly Federal 
Financial Report (SF-425) that describes the use of grant funds drawn 
from the recipient's line of credit. The reports are used to monitor 
cash transfers to the recipients and obtain expenditure data from the 
recipients. (2 CFR 200.327)
    The regulations at 24 CFR part 200 require that grantees and sub-
grantees take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority 
firms, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are 
used when possible. Consistent with these regulations, 24 CFR 
1003.506(b) requires that ICDBG grantees report on these activities on 
an annual basis, with Contract and Subcontract Activity Report being 
due to HUD on October 10 of each year (HUD-2516).
    The regulations at 24 CFR 1003.506 instruct recipients to submit to 
HUD an Annual Status and Evaluation Report (ASER) that describes the 
progress made in completing approved activities with a listing of work 
to be completed; a breakdown of funds expended; and when the project is 
completed, a program evaluation expressing the effectiveness of the 
project in meeting community development needs. The ASER is due by 
November 15 each year and at grant closeout.
    The information collected will allow HUD to accurately audit the 
program.
    Respondents: Federally recognized Native American Tribes, Alaska 
Native communities and corporations, and tribal organizations.
