Abstract: Congress has provided HUD with funding to provide technical assistance to distressed cities with small populations. In order to carry out this task in the most effective and efficient manner, HUD, in accordance with the relevant statutes and regulations, will run a competition to determine the most qualified candidate to provide that technical assistance. The information collected through responses to this NOFA is necessary to appropriately and objectively identify competition winners and manage the expenditure of grant funds. The administrative requirements that authorize the collection of this information are contained within 2 C.F.R. Part 200, which governs grants and cooperative agreements. These regulations address activities and information that must be provided by grant applicants and awardees, as well as those actions that HUD must take, and information HUD must review, during the pre-award, award, and post-selection phases of the competition and the management of the grants.
