SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department will submit the proposed
information collection to OMB for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended). This Notice is
soliciting comments from members of
the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information to: (1) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
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 (Public. 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, 2010
(Pub. L. 111–117, approved December
16, 2009), which extends the program
until September 30, 2011. Under this
requirement, the Department only has a
few months to award and obligate the
2011 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.

Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response:
For HOPE VI Revitalization
Application: 30 respondents, once
annually, 195.5 hours average per
response results in a total annual
reporting burden of 5,865.0 hours.
For HOPE VI Demolition
Applications: 34 respondents, once
annually, 40.25 hours average per
response results in a total annual
reporting burden of 1,368.50 hours.
For HOPE VI Main Street
Applications: 15 respondents, once
annually, 48.67 hours average per
response results in a total annual
reporting burden of 675.0 hours.
For HOPE VI Revitalization Quarterly
Reporting: 207 respondents, 4 times
annually, 20 hours average per response
results in a total annual reporting
burden of 16,560 hours.
Grand total: These information
collections, along with other Non-NOFA
information collection items required in
connection with the HOPE VI program
including budget updates, supportive
services and relocation plans, and cost
certificates result in an annual total
reporting burden of 26,515.5 hours.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Extension of a Currently
Approved Collection.
Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,
as amended.
