DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-5683-N-11]
Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB
HOME Investment Partnerships Program
AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described
below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department
is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.
The information collected through HUD's Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS) (Sec. 92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices,
HUD Headquarters and HOME Program Participating Jurisdictions (PJs).
The information on program funds committed and disbursed is used by HUD
to track PJ performance and to determine compliance with the statutory
24-month commitment deadline and the regulatory 5-year expenditure
deadline (Sec. 92.500(d)). The project-specific property, tenant,
owner and financial data is used to compile annual reports to Congress
required at Section 284(b) of the Act, as well as to make program
management decisions about how well program participants are achieving
the statutory objectives of the HOME Program. Program management
reports are generated by IDIS to provide data on the status of program
participants' commitment and disbursement of HOME funds. These reports
are provided to HUD staff as well as to HOME PJs. Management reports
required in conjunction with the Annual Performance Report (Sec.
92.509) are used by HUD Field Offices to assess the effectiveness of
locally designed programs in meeting specific statutory requirements
and by Headquarters in preparing the Annual Report to Congress.
Specifically, these reports permit HUD to determine compliance with the
requirement that PJs provide a 25% match for HOME funds expended during
the Federal fiscal year (Section 220 of the Act) and that program
income be used for HOME eligible activities (Section 219 of the Act),
as well as the Women and Minority Business Enterprise requirements
(Sec. 92.351(b)). Financial, project, tenant and owner documentation
is used to determine compliance with HOME Program cost limits (Section
212(e) of the Act), eligible activities (Sec. 92.205), and eligible
costs (Sec. 92.206), as well as to determine whether program
participants are lenders on their overall program performance. The
information collected is used to determine insurance eligibility and
claim eligibility.
DATES: Comments Due Date: March 11, 2013.
