owner/operator. TSA plans to collect
information from businesses of all sizes
in the course of conducting these
surface mode CSRs.
TSA conducts these interviews to
ascertain information on security
measures and to identify security gaps.
The interviews also provide the TSA
with a method to encourage the surface
transportation owners/operators affected
by the CSRs to be diligent in effecting
and maintaining security-related
improvements. This program provides
TSA with real-time information on
current security practices within the
trucking, school bus, and motor coach
modes of the surface transportation
sector. This information allows TSA to
adapt programs to the changing threat
dynamically, while incorporating an
understanding of the improvements
owners/operators make in their security
posture. Without this information, the
ability of the TSA to perform its security
mission would be severely hindered.
Additionally, the relationships these
face-to-face contacts foster are critical to
the TSA’s ability to reach out to the
surface transportation stakeholders
affected by the CSRs. The relationships
foster a sense of trust and a willingness
to share information with the Federal
Government. TSA assures respondents
the portion of their responses deemed
Sensitive Security Information (SSI) will
be handled consistent with 49 CFR parts
15 and 1520.
The annual hour burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
1,500 hours. While TSA estimates a
total of 500 potential respondents, this
estimate is based on TSA conducting
500 visits per year, each visit lasting two
to three hours. TSA estimates no annual
cost burden to respondents.

Title of Proposal: Indian Community
Development Block Grant Information
Collection.
OMB Control Number: 2577–0191.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Title I of
the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, which
authorizes Community Development
Block Grants, requires that grants for
Indian Tribes be awarded on a
competitive basis. The purpose of the
Indian Community Development Block
Grant (ICDBG) program is to develop
viable Indian and Alaska Native
communities by creating decent
housing, suitable living environments
and economic opportunities primarily
for low- and moderate-income persons.
Consistent with this objective, not less
than 70 percent of the expenditures are
to benefit low and moderate-income
persons. The law specifies four criteria
or options that are considered to meet
this objective. The four options or
criteria are: Area benefit; limited
clientele; housing; job creation/
retention. Eligible applicants include
Federally recognized Tribes, which
include Alaska Native communities,
and Bureau of Indian Affairs or Indian
Health Service determined Tribally
authorized Tribal organizations.
The ICDBG program regulations can
be found at 24 CFR 1003. The ICDBG
program for Indian Tribes and Alaska
Native villages requires eligible
applicants to submit information to
enable HUD to select the best projects
for funding during annual competitions.
Additionally, the requirements are
essential for HUD in monitoring grants
to ensure that grantees are making
proper use of Federal dollars.
ICDBG applicants must submit a
complete application package which
includes an Application for Federal
Assistance (SF–424), Supplement
Survey on Ensuring Equal Opportunity
for Applicants (SF–424 SUPP),
Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update
Report (HUD–2880), Implementation
Schedule (HUD–4125), Cost Summary
(HUD–4123) and a Program Outcome
Logic Model (HUD–96010). If the
applicant has a waiver of the electronic
submission requirement and is
submitting a paper application, an
Acknowledgement of Application
Receipt (HUD–2993) must also be
submitted. If the applicant is a Tribal
organization, a resolution from the Tribe
stating that the Tribal organization is
submitting an application on behalf of
the Tribe must also be included in the
application package.
Section 105 of the 1974 Housing and
Community Development Act (42 U.S.C.
5305) was amended by section 588 of

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 26, 2011 / Notices
the Quality Housing and Work
Responsibility Act of 1998 creating a
new subsection (h) entitled, ‘‘Prohibition
on Use of Assistance for Employment
Relocation Activities.’’ This subsection
prohibits the use of Community
Development Block Grant funds to
facilitate the relocation of for-profit
businesses from one labor market to
another if the relocation is likely to
result in significant job loss. HUD’s
regulations for the ICDBG program were
amended to add § 1003.209, Prohibition
on use of assistance from employment
relocation activities, and revise
§ 1003.505, Records to be maintained, to
include the statement, ‘‘This includes
establishing and maintaining records
demonstrating that the recipient has
made the determinations required as a
condition of eligibility of certain
activities, including as prescribed in
§ 1003.209.’’
The ICDBG regulations at § 1003.209
prohibit certain job relocation activities
that results in disinvestment in low and
moderate income Tribal communities.
ICDBG recipients are prohibited from
using ICDBG funds to facilitate the
relocation of for-profit businesses from
one ‘‘identified service area’’ as defined
in § 1003.4, to another if the relocation
is likely to result in significant job loss.
To show compliance with the statute
and regulations, ICDBG recipients that
provide ICDBG assistance to a business
must require and obtain, as a condition
of the assistance, a certification from the
assisted business that it has no plans to
relocate jobs. If the assistance results in
business relocation, the agreement must
provide that the business will reimburse
the ICDBG recipient for any assistance
provided to, or expended on behalf of
the business.
ICDBG recipients are required to
submit a quarterly Federal Financial
Report (SF–425) that provides a
snapshot of the grant funds drawn from
the recipient’s line of credit. The reports
are used to monitor cash transfers to the
recipients and obtain expenditure data
from the recipients. (Title 24 CFR
1003.501(16))
The government-wide administrative
requirements for grants and cooperative
agreements to State, local, and Federally
recognized Indian Tribal governments
codified by HUD at 24 CFR part 85
require that grantees and sub-grantees
‘‘take all necessary affirmative steps to
assure that minority firms, women’s
business enterprises, and labor surplus
area firms are used when possible’’
(§ 85.36(e)). Consistent with these
regulations, § 1003.506(b) requires that
ICDBG grantees report on these
activities on an annual basis, with
Contract and Subcontract Activity

reports being due to HUD on October 10
of each year (HUD–2516).
At the end of each one-year period
and at grant closeout the recipient is
required to submit a narrative status and
evaluation report that describes: (1)
Progress on completing approved
activities; (2) a breakdown of major
project activity or category
expenditures; and (3) an assessment of
program effectiveness at grant closeout.
Recipients are also to report on program
outputs and outcomes through the
Program Outcome Logic Model (HUD–
96010). (Title 24 CFR 1003.506)
The information collected will allow
HUD to accurately audit the program.

The ICDBG program regulations can be found at 24 CFR 1003. The
ICDBG program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native villages requires
eligible applicants to submit information to enable HUD to select the
best projects for funding during annual competitions. Additionally, the
requirements are essential for HUD in monitoring grants to ensure that
grantees are making proper use of Federal dollars.
ICDBG applicants must submit a complete application package which
includes an Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), Supplement

Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report (HUD-2880), Implementation

submitting an application on behalf of the Tribe must also be included
in the application package.
Section 105 of the 1974 Housing and Community Development Act (42
U.S.C. 5305) was amended by section 588 of
[[Page 23329]]
the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 creating a new
subsection (h) entitled, ``Prohibition on Use of Assistance for
Employment Relocation Activities.'' This subsection prohibits the use
of Community Development Block Grant funds to facilitate the relocation
of for-profit businesses from one labor market to another if the
relocation is likely to result in significant job loss. HUD's
regulations for the ICDBG program were amended to add Sec. 1003.209,
Prohibition on use of assistance from employment relocation activities,
and revise Sec. 1003.505, Records to be maintained, to include the
statement, ``This includes establishing and maintaining records
demonstrating that the recipient has made the determinations required
as a condition of eligibility of certain activities, including as
prescribed in Sec. 1003.209.''
The ICDBG regulations at Sec. 1003.209 prohibit certain job
relocation activities that results in disinvestment in low and moderate
income Tribal communities. ICDBG recipients are prohibited from using
ICDBG funds to facilitate the relocation of for-profit businesses from
one ``identified service area'' as defined in Sec. 1003.4, to another
if the relocation is likely to result in significant job loss. To show
compliance with the statute and regulations, ICDBG recipients that
provide ICDBG assistance to a business must require and obtain, as a
condition of the assistance, a certification from the assisted business
that it has no plans to relocate jobs. If the assistance results in
business relocation, the agreement must provide that the business will
reimburse the ICDBG recipient for any assistance provided to, or
expended on behalf of the business.
ICDBG recipients are required to submit a quarterly Federal
Financial Report (SF-425) that provides a snapshot of the grant funds
drawn from the recipient's line of credit. The reports are used to
monitor cash transfers to the recipients and obtain expenditure data
from the recipients. (Title 24 CFR 1003.501(16))
The government-wide administrative requirements for grants and
cooperative agreements to State, local, and Federally recognized Indian
Tribal governments codified by HUD at 24 CFR part 85 require that
grantees and sub-grantees ``take all necessary affirmative steps to
assure that minority firms, women's business enterprises, and labor
surplus area firms are used when possible'' (Sec. 85.36(e)).
Consistent with these regulations, Sec. 1003.506(b) requires that
ICDBG grantees report on these activities on an annual basis, with
Contract and Subcontract Activity reports being due to HUD on October
10 of each year (HUD-2516).
At the end of each one-year period and at grant closeout the
recipient is required to submit a narrative status and evaluation
report that describes: (1) Progress on completing approved activities;
(2) a breakdown of major project activity or category expenditures; and
(3) an assessment of program effectiveness at grant closeout.
Recipients are also to report on program outputs and outcomes through
the Program Outcome Logic Model (HUD-96010). (Title 24 CFR 1003.506)
The information collected will allow HUD to accurately audit the
program.
