Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 4, 2005 / Notices
The ORR Director and program staff
use review panel scores when
considering competing applications.
Review panel scores will weigh heavily
in funding decisions, but will not be the
only factors considered. Applications
generally will be considered in order of
the average scores assigned by the
review panel. Because other important
factors are taken into consideration,
highly ranked applications are not
guaranteed funding. These other
considerations include the timely and
proper completion by the applicant of
projects funded with ORR funds granted
in the last five (5) years; comments of
reviewers and government officials;
ORR staff evaluation and input; amount
and duration of the grant requested and
the proposed project’s consistency and
harmony with ORR goals and policy;
administrative costs associated with any
sub-grantees; geographic distribution of
applications; previous program
performance of applicants; compliance
with grant terms under previous HHS
grants; audit reports; investigative
reports; and applicant’s progress in
resolving any final audit disallowance
or program review finding on previous
ORR or other Federal agency grants.
Approved But Unfunded Applications
Applications that are approved but
unfunded may be held over for funding
in the next funding cycle, pending the
availability of funds, for a period not to
exceed one year.
VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices
Successful applicants will be notified
through the issuance of a Financial
Assistance Award document, which sets
forth the amount of funds granted, the
terms and conditions of the grant, the
effective date of the grant, the budget
period for which initial support will be
given, the non-Federal share to be
provided (if applicable), and the total
project period for which support is
contemplated. The Financial Assistance
Award will be signed by the Grants
Officer and transmitted via postal mail.
Organizations whose applications will
not be funded will be notified in
writing.
2. Administrative and National Policy
Requirements
Grantees are subject to the
requirements in 45 CFR Part 74 (nongovernmental) or 45 CFR Part 92
(governmental).
Direct Federal grants, subaward
funds, or contracts under this ACF
program shall not be used to support
inherently religious activities such as
VerDate jul<14>2003

religious instruction, worship, or
proselytization. Therefore, organizations
must take steps to separate, in time or
location, their inherently religious
activities from the services funded

pertaining to the prohibition of Federal
funds for inherently religious activities
can be found on the HHS Web site at

information to be collected; and (4)

This notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Healthy Homes and
Lead Hazard Control Grant Programs
Data Collection—Electronic Quarterly
Progress Reporting.
OMB Control Number: To be assigned.
Need for the Information and
Proposed Use: This data collection is
designed to provide timely information
to HUD regarding the implementation
progress of the grantees on carrying out
Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard
Control Grant Programs. The
information collection will also be used
to provide Congress with status reports
as required by the Residential LeadBased Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title
X of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992).
This data collection is intended to
obtain information specific to each of
the grant programs of the Office of
Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard
Control. This refines the approach used
previously, under OMB Control Number
2538–0008, which covered both lead
hazard control and healthy homes grant
programs, used the Lead Hazard Control
Grantee Quarterly Program Report for all
grant programs. Under the new data
collection, the reporting for each grant
program will be tailored to reflect the
data most relevant to its individual
operating procedures and enable
respondents in each program to focus
their attention on information specific
to their program. The other significant
difference from the previous data
collection is an increase in the number
of respondents from 210 to 300 to reflect
the gradual increase in the number of
grantees participating in HUD’s healthy
homes and lead hazard control grant
programs (255 as of March 31, 2005).
With the number of hours per response
remaining at 8 hours, and the responses
required quarterly, the total annual
hours is adjusted from 6,720, to 9,600.
Based on experience under the previous
collection, the Department expects that
at least 99% of responses under this
collection will be electronic.
Agency Form Numbers: To be
assigned.
Members of Affected Public: State,
tribal, local governments, not-for-profit
institutions and for-profit firms located
in the U.S. and its territories.
Total Burden Estimate: Number of
respondents = 300; Frequency of

instrument designed to measure
American consumers perceptions of
factory-build housing (including

purpose of the survey is: (1) To gauge
through a national sample the
understanding and accuracy of these
housing types through either verbal
(phone) or visual (internet) depictions of
them; (2) ascertain whether
preconceived notions with regard to
financial value and technical
performance exist across the housing
types; and (3) to determine whether
individual knowledge of these housing
types correlate with perceptions and
accurate depictions.
OMB Approval Number: Pending
OMB approval.
Agency Form Numbers: None.
Members of Affected Public:
Individuals.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: 2,500 individuals
will be surveyed through a phone
survey (and up to an additional 10,000
will be included through an internet
survey). Average time to complete the
phone survey is 15 minutes, and the
internet survey will be 10 minutes.
Respondents will only be contacted
once. Total burden hours are 625 for the
primary telephone survey (and up to
1,667 hours for the additional internet
survey).
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,
