Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Submission

eLogic Model

Justification

1. OMB Administrative Requirements specify at a minimum an annual report on progress. This eLogic Model improves the information collected, allows the Department to have a consistent reporting tool across disparate grant programs (see Instructions tab of the Logic Model for revisions/updates) The eLogic Model allows HUD to place greater emphasis on performance and results from each of its grant programs and requires applicants to focus activities on those provided within the drop down tables that yield the best and most quantifiable impacts. HUD will use the information collected in preparing its report to Congress required by GPRA. HUD will be establishing a Grants Performance page that features program performance ratings issued by OMB under its Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) or its successor tool, for HUD programs that have been evaluated by OMB. HUD will also post all approved eLogic Models that show each awardees’ projected outputs and outcomes during the period of performance. As required performance reports are received by HUD, they will be added to the website. HUD is creating this website page to highlight and make available to the public performance and results from HUD-funded programs, in keeping with Executive Order 13392, issued December 14, 2005, and published in the Federal Register on December 19, 2005 (70 FR 75373). HUD believes that informing the public on progress is in keeping with presidential and congressional intent for transparency in federally funded programs, as demonstrated by the passage of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-282), and creation of the federal websites www.ExpectMore.gov.

2. Applicants of HUD Federal Financial Assistance are required to indicate intended results and impacts of proposed grants implementation. Grant recipients are required to report against their baseline performance standards. The currently approved process was implemented for the various progress reporting requirements to reduce reporting burdens. It also promotes greater emphasis on performance and results in grant programs. The information will be used by grantees to better manage there programs and it encourages self-evaluation to ensure timely progress and compliance.

3. The excel file contains a drop down list specific to each program. Applicants can choose from a prepared listing. The submission of the eLogic Model is part of the grant application package submitted to the Grants.gov portal. Currently 99% of applicants are submitting the logic model electronically.

4. HUD required long narratives; the eLogic model allows applicants to choose from a prepared drop down table. HUD moved to standardized “master” eLogic Models from which applicants can select needs, activities/outputs, and outcomes appropriate to their programs. In addition, program offices have identified Program Management Evaluation Questions that grantees will be required to report on, as specified in the approved program eLogic Model^®. The time frame established for the eLogic Model reporting will be in accordance with the program’s established reporting periods and as stated in the program NOFA.

5. This collection of information does not have an impact on Small Business or other entities. GPRA requires applicants to report on there results so that agencies can report to Congress. The revisions to the eLogic Model will improve on the information collected, and allow HUD to have a consistent reporting tool across disparate grant programs.

6. HUD will use the information collected in preparing its report to Congress. The use eLogic Model allows HUD to place greater emphasis on performance and results from each of its grant programs in conjunction with strategic plan and goals identified by HUD and require applicants to focus activities on those provided with the drop down table that yield the best and most quantifiable impacts.

7. There are no special circumstances that require this collection of information to be conducted in a manner that is inconsistent with the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6.

8. Information collected is conducted in a manner consistent with the guidelines of 5 CFR 1320.8(d). Public request received via email, from Ms. Hartt stating:“Emphasys would like to receive a copy of the proposed forms and other information submitted to OMB regarding the above reference per the June 30 Federal Register” After requested copy of form sent Ms. Hartt was seeking information on Docket FR-5752-N-54 Public Housing Finance Management Template, not FR-5761-N-01.

9. There are no payments or gifts provided to respondents in this collection of information.

10. There are no assurances of confidentiality provided in this collection of information.

11. There are no questions of a sensitive nature asked in this collection of information.

12. Estimate of the hour burden of this collection of information
