Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions

A. Justification:

1. Why is this information necessary?

The HUD Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117, enacted on December 16, 2009) permits the Secretary to use up to $40,000,000 of capital fund appropriations for grant funding to develop facilities to provide early childhood education, adult education, job training or similar services for public housing residents based on an identified need.

2. How is this information to be used?

Public housing agencies (PHAs) submit applications for funding in response to the Capital Fund Education and Training Community Facilities (CFCF) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The submitted information demonstrates applicant experience and plans to implement the grant requirements, including narrative response to NOFA criteria, exhibits, certifications, data forms, supporting documentation, maps and drawings. The information will be used by HUD staff to evaluate threshold requirements and rate and rank grant applications.

The purpose of the CFCF program is to provide capital funding for the construction, rehabilitation or purchase of facilities. These facilities offer comprehensive, integrated supportive services to help public housing residents achieve better educational and economic outcomes resulting in long-term economic self-sufficiency. Funding is awarded on a competitive basis based on NOFA criteria and the information contained in each PHAs application.

Form/Document	Title	Description
	Application for Education and Training Facilities	Information used to score PHAs application for funding of education and training facilities
SF-LLL	Disclosure of Lobbying Activities	Required for grant recipients

3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information is automated?

The CFCF application is collected through electronic means through grants.gov and PHAs are notified of grant award through web postings.

4. Duplication of Information

Information for CFCF applications is not collected elsewhere. The information collected is specific to current funding; this information from PHAs is not previously collected.

5. Does the collection of information impact small businesses or other small entities?

This collection of information does not significantly impact small businesses or entities.

6. Describe consequences to federal program or policy if collection is not conducted or conducted less frequently.

HUD would not be able to ensure distribution and effective use of funds if this collection were not conducted. This is a one-time collection unless annual funds are renewed by Congress.

7. Explain any special circumstances - NA

8. Identify the date and page number of the Federal Register notice soliciting comments on the information.

A notice of proposed information collection for the Capital Fund Education and Training Community Facilities was published in the Federal Register on October 29, 2010, Volume 79; page 66774. No comments were received.

9. Explain any payments or gifts to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.

No payments or gifts to respondents are provided.

10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents.

The information provided is not of a confidential nature.

11. Justify questions of a sensitive nature; such as sexual, religious beliefs and other matters commonly considered private. - The information collected does not contain questions of a sensitive nature.

12. Annual Reporting Burden

The annual reporting burden hours are based on the experience and estimated amount of time to report the requested information. The number of respondents is based on 3,100 PHAs nation-wide and HUD’s historic number of PHAs seeking competitive capital funds.
