SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60 days was published on April
28, 2015 at 80 FR 23564.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Service Coordinators in
Multifamily Housing.
OMB Approval Number: 2502-0447.
Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
Form Numbers: HUD-2530, HUD-92456, HUD-92456-G, HUD-50080-SCMF,
HUD-91186, HUD-91186-A, SF-424, SF-424-Supp, HUD-2880, SF-LLL, SF-425.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
This request seeks approval for the following items:
1. Revision of form HUD-50080-SCMF;
2. Elimination of the standard form (SF) 425 ``Federal Financial
Report'' and form HUD-96010 ``Logic Model'' for Service Coordinator in
Multifamily Housing grant recipients, and
3. Grant application intake submission requirements for the
Upcoming Notice of Funding availability (NOFA) for the Seniors and
Services Demonstration program. The eligible applicant pool for this
demonstration will be aligned with the Service Coordinators in
Multifamily Housing program.
As a result, this request will reduce the number of respondents,
responses per annum, frequency of Responses, and total Estimated Burden
hours.
The collection of information is necessary to ensure efficient and
proper use of funds for eligible activities. Without this information,
HUD staff cannot assess the need for funds and effectively monitor
grantees' program performance and administration. In addition, the
information collection will assist applicants in better determining
their need for funds. The information will also enable grantees to more
effectively evaluate their program performance; account for funds, and
maintain appropriate program records.
[[Page 44988]]
Grant funds are taken to pay costs previously incurred and are
obtained through use of the electronic Line of Credit Control System
(eLOCCS). Grantees are required to draw down from eLOCCS monthly or
quarterly.
Grantees will submit the revised form HUD-50080-SCMF on a semi-
annual basis. Grantees will complete one worksheet per draw down. Each
worksheet will list every expense incurred during that month or
quarter. Grantees will be required to maintain detailed expense
documentation in their files. HUD may request copies of such
documentation if additional program review is warranted.
The data reported will allow HUD staff to track expenses and
drawdown of funds for eligible costs at intervals within the grant
term. The modified form and submission schedule are designed to reduce
burden and collect valid and relevant data.
HUD proposes to substitute the revised form HUD-50080-SCMF for the
SF-425, ``Federal Financial Report''. The SF-425 does not provide HUD
with any data that is not already available in LOCCS or that will be
reported in the revised HUD-50080-SCMF. The revised HUD-50080-SCMF
provides the most essential information HUD needs to determine whether
federal funds have been used properly.
Respondents: Multifamily Housing assisted housing owners.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,770.
Estimated Number of Responses: 13,790.
Frequency of Response: Semi-annually to annually.
Average Hours per Response: 10.2.
Total Estimated Burden hours: 61,060.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in
Section A on the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(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.
HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to
these questions.
Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
Date: July 22, 2015.
Colette Pollard,
Department Reports Management Officer, Office of the Chief Information
Officer.
