information to be collected; and (4)
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond; including through the use of
appropriate automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
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

collection is mandatory.
