whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have

information:
Title of Proposal: Housing Counseling
Program—Client Activity Reporting
System (CARS).
OMB Control Number, if Applicable:
2502–0261.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: HUD is
seeking approval for the Client Activity
Reporting System (CARS), an automated
tool to interface with agencies’ client
management systems (CMS) to
electronically transfer required agency,
activity and client information into
HUD’s Housing Counseling System
(HCS). A CMS is an existing online tool
that housing counselors are currently
using that automates much of the
housing counseling process, including
client intake, file maintenance, financial
and credit analysis, outreach and client
notification, and reporting. CARS is the
interface system, or bridge, that links
these various CMS systems to HUD’s
housing counseling database facilitating
the sharing of data.
A large percentage of HUD-approved
housing counseling agencies already use
one of the several CMS’s that are
available through the private sector. A
proposed rule for HUD’s Housing
Counseling Program (FR–4798) would
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
require all HUD-approved counseling
agencies to utilize a CMS, but gives
them the flexibility to choose from
competing products in the market. HUD
will issue specifications, including data
and other requirements; a CMS vendor
must meet to successfully interface with
CARS.
In conjunction with CARS, included
in this proposal are proposed
modifications to the existing form HUD–
9902, the traditional performance data
collection instrument for the Program,
which will be automatically populated
by the CMS utilized by the counseling
agency and electronically submitted to
HUD via CARS. These changes are
designed to clarify instructions, capture
additional outcomes, and generally
enhance the quality of the data
collected.
Agency Form Numbers, if Applicable:
HUD–9900, HUD–9904, HUD–27300,
HUD–2880, HUD–2990, HUD–2991,
HUD–2994, HUD–96010, HUD–9902,
HUD–9908, HUD–9910.
Estimation of the Total Number of
Hours Needed To Prepare the
Information Collection Including
Number of Respondents, Frequency of
Response, and Hours of Response: The
estimated total number of hours needed
to prepare the information collection is
10,090; the number of respondents is
2,856 generating approximately 10,324
annual responses; the frequency of
response is on occasion or quarterly;
and the estimated time needed to
prepare the response varies from 5
minutes to 18 hours.
Status of the Proposed Information
Collection: This is a revision of
currently approved collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.

irrigation facilities located on various
Indian reservations throughout the
PO 00000
Frm 00099
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
United States. We are required to
establish rates to recover the costs to
administer, operate, maintain, and
rehabilitate those facilities. We are
notifying you that we have adjusted the
irrigation assessment rates at several of
our irrigation facilities for operation and
maintenance.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The irrigation
assessment rates shown in the tables
were effective on January 1, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
details about a particular BIA irrigation
project, please use the tables in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section to
contact the regional or local office
where the project is located.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice
of Proposed Rate Adjustment was
published in the Federal Register on
February 1, 2005 (70 FR 20), to adjust
the irrigation rates at several BIA
irrigation facilities. The public and
interested parties were provided an
opportunity to submit written
comments during the 60-day period
prior to April 1, 2005.
Did the BIA receive any comments on
the proposed irrigation assessment rate
adjustments?
Written comments were received for
the proposed rate adjustments for the
Fort Peck Irrigation Project, Montana,
the San Carlos Irrigation Project—Indian
Works, Arizona and the San Carlos
Irrigation Project—Joint Works, Arizona.
What issues were of concern by the
commenters?
The commenters were concerned with
one or more of the following five issues:
(1) How funds collected from
stakeholders are expended on operation
and maintenance; (2) the impact of an
assessment rate increase on the local
agricultural economy; (3) what is
deferred maintenance and why was the
rate increased to handle the deferred
maintenance; and (4) why do the
irrigation projects need to have a reserve
fund.
For the San Carlos Irrigation Project—
Joint Works (SCIP–JW), commenters
were concerned with the following
issues: (1) What are the record keeping
practices and sharing them with water
users; (2) why doesn’t the SCIP–JW
budget reflect income from other
sources, such as, excess pumping; (3)
why doesn’t SCIP–JW charge tribal
concessions that operate at BIA project
reservoirs; (4) why doesn’t the SCIP–JW
power project pay revenues to the
irrigation project; and (5) why does
SCIP–JW have to pay for environmental
and archaeological surveys with O&M
monies.
