Short Statement: 15. This collection package is a revision of a previously approved collection. This revision is necessary in order to submit the revisions to the HUD-52768 (ROSS SERVICE COORDINATORS – FUNDING REQUEST). The revisions include adding salary comparability information onto the form, combining portions of the HUD-52769 with the HUD-52768 form, and simplifying the format of how the applicants report their match. Other revisions to the HUD-52768 include eliminating redundancy and making the application form electronic on grants.gov. In addition, forms that were previously under the ROSS PRA that will not be needed in future NOFAs are being removed under this PRA. Those forms include the HUD-52754 and the HUD-52769. The burden hours have been reduced from a total of 2,325 hours to a total of 1907 due to this streamlining.
