the actual application collection that was approved under OMB 2501-0033

high-poverty urban, rural, and tribal communities to create jobs, 
increase economic activity, improve educational opportunities, leverage 
private investment, and reduce violent crime. Additional information 
about the Promise Zones initiative can be found at www.hud.gov/promisezones, and questions can be addressed to [email protected]. 
The federal administrative duties pertaining to these designations 
shall be managed and executed by HUD (urban communities) and USDA

under sections 2 and 3 of the HUD Act, 42 U.S.C. 3531-32, to assist the 
President in achieving maximum coordination of the various federal 
activities which have a major effect upon urban community, suburban, or 
metropolitan development; to develop and recommend to the President 
policies for fostering orderly growth and development of the Nation's 
urban areas; and to exercise leadership, at the direction of the 
President, in coordinating federal activities affecting housing and 
urban development.
    To facilitate communication between local and federal partners, HUD 
proposes that Promise Zone Lead Organizations submit minimal documents 
to support collaboration between local and federal partners. This 
document will assist in communications and stakeholder engagement, both 
locally and nationally.
