Description of the need for the
Information and proposed use: The
Brownfield Economic Development
Initiative is authorized pursuant to
Section 108(q), Title I of the Housing

1974. BEDI is designed to help local
governments redevelop brownfields,
defined in the past NOFA as abandoned,
idled, or underutilized real property,
including industrial and commercial
facilities, where expansion or
redevelopment is complicated by the
presence or potential presence of
environmental contamination. This

project or activities, and the applicant’s
capacity and commitment to use the
BEDI funds in accordance with the
purposes of the Act.

Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the
Information collection including
number of respondents, frequency of
response, and hours of response:
Approximately 25 applicants submit
application package during a given BEDI
program year. A BEDI application
package includes a 15 page narrative,
and other HUD forms that consist of
approximately 40 hours to complete.
Approximately 13 grantees out of the 25
applicants will be required to complete
additional HUD forms for fund
withdrawals and program evaluation
which is estimated at 20 hours to
complete. The total estimate of burden
hours is 1,260 hours.
Status of the proposed information
collection: This notice precedes a
continuation of the existing burden hour
request. It is a proposed reduction from
the prior approved request of 2,000.
This proposed decrease is due primarily
to the decrease of program applicants
and grantees.

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

inclusion, and access to opportunity; (3)
energy use and climate change; and (4)
public health and environmental
impact. The Rating Factor Form is an

anticipated number of responses is 300,
and the burden hour per response is
estimated at 10 hours.

updated application which incorporates
the corrections and clarifications related

reflects the corrections and
clarifications, but are not required to if

materials after they submit the revised
application to HUD. Please refer to the
