Abstract: This information collection is under the authority of Title XII of the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009 (“the Recovery Act”). Under the Recovery Act, HUD was allocated $4 billion of additional Capital Funds to be made available to PHAs. Per the Recovery Act, $3 billion was to be distributed by the same formula used for amounts made available in fiscal year 2008. $1 billion was to be distributed by competition for priority investments, including investments that leverage private sector funding or financing for renovations and energy conservation retrofit investments. All Recover Act Capital Funds have been awarded. Section 1512 of the Recovery Act outlines the reporting requirements for the use of Recovery Act funds and requires recipients to report quarterly. The information collection is the reporting requirements only and does include any of the grant applications.

Emergency Justfication: Emergency Justification: Letter has been uploaded on the Manage ICR Documents page under Supplementary Documents.

Short Statement: Program Change – This is an expansion of a collection of information which is necessary to accommodate additional programs funded by the Recovery Act and to collect information on HUD core activities that was not initially included. The information in this collection addresses Office of Management and Budget guidance that required that “the use of all funds by recipients is transparent to the public, and the public benefits of these funds are reported clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner”. This data collection is the first step in clearly and accurately reporting these benefits to the public. The information collected from recipients will be used to determine the status of work items funded with Recovery Act funds and for HUD to be able to determine spending on energy efficiency measures. This information collection is the reporting requirements only and does include any of the grant application information. The total number of annual hours requested is 88,000. This is clearly more than the estimate in the current OMB inventory of 4,486 annual hours. The deference, 83,512 annual hours, can be attributed to under estimation of the time needed for the respondent to collect the information and input the data. The current OMB inventory figure does not take into account the time necessary for the respondent to collect the information requested by survey. While the respondent should have this information readily available it is assumed that it will take 3.5 hours per respondent to collect and accurately account for the data before input.
