The information is required to allow
HUD to conduct competitions to award and obligate Choice
Neighborhood grant funds in accordance with the appropriations act
and to manage/report on the grants that are awarded.
1. The previous collection was
based on anticipated submittals. The actual submittal of
implementation and planning grants was less than anticipated.
Accordingly, the collection has been adjusted to reflect the actual
submittals of approximately 25 and 50 submittals respectively. 2.
HUD form numbers that were given to forms after the prior
collection approval have been added to the relevant documents. 3.
The NOFAs continue to focus on evaluating eligibility, capacity,
need, plan/strategy, soundness of approach, and match/leverage.
Adjustments have been made to reflect the way information is
organized/titled. 4. The prior approval for information collection
was for the NOFAs/applications since the program was just
beginning. Now, under "Non-NOFA Collections," documentation related
to program management and reporting has been added. 5. These
adjustments equate to 3,060 additional burden hours requested
