This information
collection is approved through December 31, 1993. The OMB approval
is for less than 3 years because HUD failed to obtain OMB approval
of the paperwork requirements for this program prior to their
publication in the program's funding announcement. HUD should
obtain OMB approval for paperwork requirements prior to the
publicatio of funding announcement as a general rule. The March
1993 publication f the funding announcement reflect revisions to
the application proces based on concerns about the burdensome and
appropriateness of some of e information collection requirements.
OMB continues to believe that the existing applications are
burdensome. In publishing its notice to he public providing the OMB
approval number, HUD must specifically instruct the public to
submit comments to HUD and OMB on the burden as ciated with the
applications. Upon its next submission, HUD will resp d to any
comment received, explain more fully the nature of its consul tions
with affected groups as specified in item #9 of the supporting s
tement and any concerns raised and how they were addressed by HUD,
and specifically justify the extensive resident consultation
requirements. OMB approval will not be extend unless HUD seeks such
approval pri the issuance of the next funding announcement.
