This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: HOPE VI program.
OMB Control Number: 2577–0208.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Section
24 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as
added by section 535 of the Quality
Housing and Work Responsibility Act of
1998 (Pub. L. 105–276, 112 Stat. 2461,
approved October 21, 1998) and revised
by the HOPE VI Program
Reauthorization and Small Community
Main Street Rejuvenation and Housing
Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–186, 117 Stat.
2685, approved December 16, 2003),
establishes the HOPE VI program for the
purpose of making assistance available
on a competitive basis to public housing
agencies (PHAs) in improving the living
environment for public housing
residents of severely distressed public
housing projects through the
demolition, rehabilitation,
reconfiguration, or replacement of
severely distressed public housing
projects (or portions thereof); in
revitalizing areas in which public
housing sites are located, and
contributing to the improvement of the
surrounding community; in providing
housing that avoids or decreases the
concentration of very low-income
families; and in building sustainable
communities. In addition, the HOPE VI
Program Reauthorization and Small
Community Main Street Rejuvenation
and Housing Act of 2003 added to the
HOPE VI program the purpose of
making assistance available on a
competitive basis to small units of local
government to develop affordable
housing as part of Main Street
rejuvenation projects. The program
authorization was renewed by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008
(Pub. L. 110–161, approved December
26, 2007), which extends the program

until September 30, 2008. Under this
requirement, the Department only has a
few months to award and obligate the
2008 funds or they will be returned to
the Treasury.
These information collections are
required in connection with the annual
publication in the Federal Register of
Notices of Funding Availability
(NOFAs), contingent upon available
funding and authorization, which
announce the availability of funds
provided in annual appropriations for
HOPE VI Revitalization, Demolition
grants, and HOPE VI Main Street grants.
Eligible public housing agencies
(PHAs) (for HOPE VI Revitalization and
Demolition) and eligible local units of
government (for HOPE VI Main Street)
interested in obtaining HOPE VI grants
are required to submit applications to
HUD, as explained in each program
NOFA. The information collection
conducted in the applications enables
HUD to conduct a comprehensive,
merit-based selection process in order to
identify and select the applications to
receive funding. With the use of HUDprescribed forms, the information
collection provides HUD with sufficient
information to approve or disapprove
applications.
Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI
grants are required to report on a
quarterly basis on the sources and uses
of all amounts expended for
revitalization, demolition, or Main
Street activities. HOPE VI Revitalization
grantees use a fully-automated, Internetbased process for the submission of
quarterly reporting information. HUD
reviews and evaluates the collected
information and uses it as a primary tool
with which to monitor the status of
HOPE VI Revitalization projects and the
HOPE VI Revitalization program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
22, 2007, in a memorandum for the
heads of Executive Departments and
Agencies entitled ‘‘Safeguarding Against
and Responding to the Breach of
Personally Identifiable Information,’’ the
Office of Management and Budget
directed agencies to develop and
publish a routine use for disclosure of
information in connection with
response and remedial efforts in the
event of a data breach. This routine use
will serve to protect the interest of the
individuals whose information is at
issue by allowing agencies to take
appropriate steps to facilitate a timely
and effective response to the breach,
thereby improving its ability to prevent,
minimize or remedy any harm resulting
from a compromise of data maintained
in its systems of records. Accordingly,
the Office of the Secretary of the
Department of the Interior is proposing
to add a new routine use to authorize
disclosure to appropriate agencies,
entities, and persons, of information
maintained in the following systems in
the event of a data breach. These
amendments will be effective as
proposed at the end of the comment
period unless comments are received
which would require a contrary
determination. The Department will
publish a revised notice if changes are
made based upon a review of comments
received.
