This Notice also lists the following information: Title of Proposal: Congregate Housing Services Program. OMB Control Number: 2502–0485. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: • Completion of the Annual Report by grantees provides HUD with essential information about whom the grant is serving and what sort of services the beneficiaries receive using grant funds. • The Summary Budget and the Annual Program Budget make up the budget of the grantee’s annual extension request. Together the forms provide itemized expenses for anticipated program costs and a matrix of budgeted yearly costs. The budget forms show the services funded through the grant and demonstrate how matching funds, participant fees, and grant funds will be used in tandem to operate the grant program. Field staff approve the annual budget and request annual extension funds according to the budget. Field staff can also determine if grantees are meeting statutory and regulatory requirements through the evaluation of this budget. • HUD will use the Payment Voucher to monitor use of grant funds for eligible activities over the term of the grant. The Grantee may similarly use the Payment Voucher to track and record their requests for payment reimbursement for grant-funded activities. Agency Form Numbers, if applicable: HUD–90006, ‘‘Congregate Housing Services Program Annual Reporting Form’’, HUD–91180–A, ‘‘Summary Budget Grantee’’, HUD91178–A ‘‘Annual Program Budget’’, and HUD90198, ‘‘Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS)/Voice Response System (VRS) Congregate Housing Services Program Payment Voucher’’. 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 687.5.
