SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Overview of Information Collection

Title of Information Collection: Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

OMB Approval Number: 2506-0117.

Type of Request: Revision.

Form Number: SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Submission of the Consolidated Plan is required every 3-5 years for grantees who receive one or more of the formula grant programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD). The formula grant programs include four formula block grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA); and one formula program for States: Housing Trust Fund (HTF). The requirement that grantees submit this information is in compliance with statutory provisions of the Cranston Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 that requires participating jurisdictions to submit a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (Section 105(b)); the 1974 Housing and Community Development Act, as amended, that requires states and localities to submit a Community Development Plan (Section 104(b)(4) and Section 104(m)); and statutory provisions of these Acts that requires states and localities to submit applications and reports for these formula grant programs.

The CDBG program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Following major disasters, Congress may appropriate supplemental CDBG funds for disaster recovery. According to Section 104(e)(1) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, HUD is responsible for reviewing grantees' compliance with applicable requirements and their continuing capacity to carry out their programs. Grant funds are made available to states and units of general local government, Indian tribes, and insular areas, unless provided otherwise by supplemental appropriations statute, based on their unmet disaster recovery needs.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,505 (including 148 HOME Consortia).

Estimated Number of Responses: 3,010.

Frequency of Response: Twice per year.

Average Hours per Response: See Charts broken out by Con Plan, Action Plan and CAPER.

Total Estimated Burdens: 433,550 hours and cost of $19,294,595.

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
