information about whom the grant is
serving and what sort of services the
beneficiaries receive using grant funds.
The Summary Budget and the Annual
Program Budget make up the budget of
the grantee’s annual extension request.
Together the forms provide itemized
expenses for anticipated program costs
and a matrix of budgeted yearly costs.
The budget forms show the services
funded through the grant and
demonstrate how matching funds,
participant fees, and grant funds will be
used in tandem to operate the grant
program. Field staff approve the annual
budget and request annual extension
funds according to the budget. Field
staff can also determine if grantees are
meeting statutory and regulatory
requirements through the evaluation of
this budget.
HUD will use the Payment Voucher to
monitor use of grant funds for eligible
activities over the term of the grant. The
Grantee may similarly use the Payment
Voucher to track and record their
requests for payment reimbursement for
grant-funded activities.
Respondents: Non-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
55.
Estimated Number of Responses: 440.
Frequency of Response: Semiannually to annually.

Emergency Homeownership Loan
Program—Data Requirements.

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: This
information collection is necessary to
determine applicant eligibility to
receive mortgage relief assistance under
the Emergency Homeowners’ Loan
Program. This Notice informs the public
that the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) has
submitted to OMB, an information
collection package with respect to
implementing the Emergency
Homeowners’ Loan Program targeted to
borrowers facing foreclosure.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act, 2010
(Pub. L. 111–203, approved July 21,
2010, Sec 1496) appropriated $1billion
to HUD to establish an Emergency
Homeowner’s Relief Fund, pursuant to
section 107 of the Emergency Housing
Act of 1975, that will provide
emergency mortgage assistance to
homeowners that are at risk of
foreclosure due to involuntary
unemployment or underemployment
due to an adverse economic or medical
condition. Accordingly, HUD is
implementing the Emergency
Homeowners Loan Program (EHLP) that
is designed to offer a declining balance,
deferred payment ‘‘bridge loan’’ (nonrecourse, subordinate loan with zero
interest) for up to $50,000 to assist
eligible homeowners with payments of
arrearages, including delinquent taxes
and insurance. Additionally, EHLP may
be used to assist eligible homeowners
with up to 24 months of monthly
payments on their mortgage principal,
interest, mortgage insurance premiums,
taxes, and hazard insurance. Assistance
will not exceed $50,000 per eligible
homeowner.
HUD will use two approaches to
implement EHLP: (1) Provide
allocations to States that currently have
substantially similar programs to
administer their mortgage relief funds
directly; and (2) delegate key
administrative functions to third party
entities that will assist HUD with
program implementation. The third
party entities will be primarily

responsible for application intake,
eligibility screening, funds control,
payment distribution, and note
processing.
Homeowners’(borrowers’)
participation in the program is
voluntary. However, to help determine
eligibility for assistance borrowers must
submit the required application
information and loan documentation to
demonstrate that they meet program
eligibility guidelines to receive mortgage
relief assistance through EHLP.

SUMMARY:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Choice Neighborhoods Evaluation,
Phase II.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD is
conducting an evaluation of the Choice
Neighborhoods Initiative, focused on
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52353
the initial round of grants funded in
August 2011. This evaluation requires
the collection of information from
households living in the Choice
Neighborhoods sites. Phase I, approved
by the Office of Management and
Budget under control number 2528–
0286, involved a baseline survey of
households (https://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_
nbr=201203-2528-001).
Phase II, proposed here, involves
tracking baseline survey respondents.
The purpose of Phase II tracking is to
maintain contact and location
information for households that
participated in the Choice
Neighborhoods Demonstration Studies’
Baseline Survey to analyze household
mobility patterns and achieve a strong
response rate on any follow up surveys
that the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) may
conduct.
The tracking effort relies primarily on
passive tracking strategies that use data
obtained from HUD’s PIC and TRACS
systems, Choice Grantees, National
Change of Address (NCOA) Database,
and Accurint, to update the contact
information for households. Active
tracking strategies are used to
complement passive strategies.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
This information collection will affect
approximately 1,697 households that
participated in the Choice
Neighborhoods Demonstration Studies’
Baseline Survey in 2013–14 in five
cities—New Orleans, Chicago, Boston,
Seattle, and San Francisco. Affected
households include residents of HUDassisted properties targeted by the
Choice Neighborhoods Initiative as well
as residents in the neighborhoods
surrounding those properties. The
respondents have all agreed to
participate in the study.
There are five active tracking
strategies that will directly affect Panel
members:
1. Three quarters each year, panel
members will receive a card/flyer with
a toll-free number and Web site address
set up for this study that will give
respondents the opportunity to update
their contact information online or by
phone. We estimate that 25 percent of
respondents (424) will respond to this
flyer and it will take at most 5 minutes.
This activity is estimated to result in
424 responses, 101.76 hours, and $1,387
of burden per year.
2. Once a year, the flyer/card will also
contain a perforated mailer and a
postage-paid business reply envelope,
providing more opportunity for each
panel member to update their contact
information. We estimate that 90
