This Notice is soliciting comments

agencies concerning the proposed
collection of information to: (1) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection of

performance of the functions of the
affected agency, including whether the

information:
Title of Proposal: Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Urban
County and New York Towns
Qualification/Requalification Process.
OMB Control Number, is applicable:
2506–0170.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended, at sections
102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires that any
county seeking qualification as an urban
county notify each unit of general local
government within the county that such
unit may enter into a cooperation
agreement to participate in the CDBG
program as part of the county. Section
102(2) of the statute specifies that the
period of qualification will be three
years. Based on these statutory
provisions, counties seeking
qualification or requalification as urban
counties under the CDBG program must
provide information to HUD every three
years identifying the units of general
local governments (UGLGs) within the
county participating as a part of the
county for purposes of receiving CDBG

funds. The population of UGLGs for
each eligible urban county and New
York town are used in HUD’s allocation
of CDBG funds for all entitlement and
State CDBG grantees. New York towns
must undertake a similar process every
three years because under New York
State law, New York towns that contain
incorporated UGLGs within their
boundaries cannot qualify as
metropolitan cities unless they execute
cooperation agreements with all such
incorporated units. The New York town
qualification process must be completed
prior to the qualification or urban
counties so that any town that does not
qualify as a metropolitan city will still
have an opportunity to participate as
part of an urban county.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
N/A.
Members of affected public: Urban
counties and New York towns that are
eligible as entitlement grantees of the
CDBG program.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: There are currently
165 qualified urban counties
participating in the CDBG program that
must requalify every three years. On
average, three new counties qualify each
year. The burden on new counties is
greater than for existing counties that
requalify. The Department estimates
new grantees use, on average, 100 hours
to review instructions, contact
communities in the county, prepare and
review agreements, obtain legal
opinions, have agreements executed at
the local and county level, and prepare
and transmit copies of required
documents to HUD. The Department
estimates that counties that are
requalifying use, on average, 60 hours to
complete these actions. The time
savings on requalification is primarily a
result of a grantee’s ability to use
agreements with no specified end date.
use of such ‘‘renewable’’ agreements
enables the grantee to merely notify
affected participating UGLGs in writing
that their agreement will automatically
be renewed unless the UGLG terminates
the agreement in writing, rather than
executing a new agreement every three
years.
There are 10 New York towns that
requalify every three years. They, too,
may use ‘‘renewable’’ agreements that
reduce the burden required under this
process. The Department estimates that
New York towns, on average, use 50
hours every three years to complete the
requalification process.

Average of 3 new urban counties
qualify per year: 3 × 100 hours = 300
hrs.
165 grantees requalify on triennial
basis; average annual number of
respondents = 55: 55 × 60 hrs. = 3300
hrs.
10 towns requalify every three years;
average annual number of respondents =
3.3: 3.3 × 50 = 165 hrs.
Total combined burden hours: 3,765
hrs.
This total number of combined
burden hours can be expected to
increase annually by 300 hours
annually, given the average of three new
urban counties becoming eligible
entitlement grantees each year.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Existing collection number
will expire October 31, 2005.

Title of Proposal: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Urban
County and New York Towns Qualification/Requalification Process.
OMB Control Number, is applicable: 2506-0170.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, at sections
102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires that any county seeking qualification as
an urban county notify each unit of general local government within the
county that such unit may enter into a cooperation agreement to

of the statute specifies that the period of qualification will be three
years. Based on these statutory provisions, counties seeking
qualification or requalification as urban counties under the CDBG
program must provide information to HUD every three years identifying
the units of general local governments (UGLGs) within the county
participating as a part of the county for purposes of receiving CDBG
funds. The population of UGLGs for each eligible urban county and New
York town are used in HUD's allocation of CDBG funds for all
entitlement and State CDBG grantees. New York towns must undertake a
similar process every three years because under New York State law, New
York towns that contain incorporated UGLGs within their boundaries
cannot qualify as metropolitan cities unless they execute cooperation
agreements with all such incorporated units. The New York town
qualification process must be completed prior to the qualification or
urban counties so that any town that does not qualify as a metropolitan
city will still have an opportunity to participate as part of an urban
county.
Agency form numbers, if applicable: N/A.
Members of affected public: Urban counties and New York towns that
are eligible as entitlement grantees of the CDBG program.
Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of
response, and hours of response: There are currently 165 qualified
urban counties participating in the CDBG program that must requalify
every three years. On average, three new counties qualify each year.
The burden on new counties is greater than for existing counties that
requalify. The Department estimates new grantees use, on average, 100
hours to review instructions, contact communities in the county,
prepare and review agreements, obtain legal opinions, have agreements
executed at the local and county level, and prepare and transmit copies
of required documents to HUD. The Department estimates that counties
that are requalifying use, on average, 60 hours to complete these
actions. The time savings on requalification is primarily a result of a
grantee's ability to use agreements with no specified end date. use of
such ``renewable'' agreements enables the grantee to merely notify
affected participating UGLGs in writing that their agreement will
automatically be renewed unless the UGLG terminates the agreement in
writing, rather than executing a new agreement every three years.
There are 10 New York towns that requalify every three years. They,
too, may use ``renewable'' agreements that reduce the burden required
under this process. The Department estimates that New York towns, on
average, use 50 hours every three years to complete the requalification
process.
[[Page 38190]]
Average of 3 new urban counties qualify per year: 3 x 100 hours =
300 hrs.
165 grantees requalify on triennial basis; average annual number of
respondents = 55: 55 x 60 hrs. = 3300 hrs.
10 towns requalify every three years; average annual number of
respondents = 3.3: 3.3 x 50 = 165 hrs.
Total combined burden hours: 3,765 hrs.
This total number of combined burden hours can be expected to
increase annually by 300 hours annually, given the average of three new
urban counties becoming eligible entitlement grantees each year.
Status of the proposed information collection: Existing collection
number will expire October 31, 2005.
