Title of Proposal: Recovery Act
Reporting for the Community
Development Block Grant Program for
Indian Tribes and Alaska Native
Villages (ICDBG).
OMB Control Number: 2577–0263.
Description of Information Collection:
The ICDBG Recovery Act Grant Program
for Indian tribes and Alaska Native
villages is a one-time grant program
available in fiscal year 2009 in addition
to the regular ICDBG funding
competition. This program required
eligible applicants to submit
information to enable HUD to select the
best projects for funding during the onetime competition. The collection of this
information is essential for HUD to
monitor grants and ensure that grantees
are making proper use of federal
funding. ICDBG funds are used for the
development of viable Indian and
Alaska Native communities, including
the creation of decent housing, suitable
living environments and economic
opportunities primarily for persons with
low and moderate incomes as defined in
24 CFR 1003.4. The Recovery Act
requires that, in selecting ICDBG
projects to be funded, priority shall be
given to projects that can award
contracts based on bids within 120 days
from the date the funds are made
available to the recipients. The ICDBG
program regulations require that
quarterly and annual reports be
submitted. In addition, the Recovery Act
requires the collection of additional
information for reporting purposes. The
ICDBG program regulations can be
found in 24 CFR Part 1003.

The Native American Housing

of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.)
(NAHASDA) changed the way that
housing assistance is provided to Native
Americans. NAHASDA eliminated

Federal Regulations. In accordance with
section 106 of NAHASDA, HUD
developed the regulations with active
tribal participation and using the
