and remote monitoring reviews of
agencies participating in the Housing
Counseling Program. HUD staff uses the
information collected on this
performance review checklist to assess
the management and financial
capability of participating housing
counseling agencies to carry out their
missions relative to the HUD Housing
Counseling Program. The information
also assists HUD staff to detect any
conflicts of interest or activities that
may not be permissible. Additionally,
this information helps HUD staff to
assess whether participating
organizations are meeting basic
programmatic and grant administrative
requirements and maintaining staff with
the appropriate experience.
Most of the information required
under this information collection is
maintained by the affected organizations
in the normal course of business with
HUD and HUD ascribes no burden hours
to recordkeeping. The requirements for
recordkeeping and what information
HUD expects to view when its staff
conducts a performance review are set
forth in the Housing Counseling
Program Handbook 7610.1 Rev-5,
Chapter 3. The information cited in the
handbook is a tool for the participating
organizations to use so that they can be
prepared for HUD reviews.
HUD is seeking approval for the
Agency Performance Review, Form
HUD–9910. The form has been
substantially revised to meet new
program requirements, improve the
quality and scope of the performance
reviews conducted to better monitor the
financial and administrative controls
that agencies should have in place to
effectively manage their programs,
verify compliance with grant
agreements, deter and discover conflicts
of interest and to establish improved
procedures to monitor the expenditure
of HUD grant funds.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
HUD 9910.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The number of
burden hours is 12,977. The number of
respondents is 1,366 and the number of
responses is 1,366. The frequency of
response is periodic as determined by
HUD, and the burden hour per response
is 9.5.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as amended.
