HEROS. Finally, storing recipients’
records in HEROS will allow HUD to
collect data on environmental
compliance for the first time. Once
completed, HUD intends to make
HEROS the only permitted format in
most cases.
24 CFR Part 50, ‘‘Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental
Quality,’’ implements procedures for
HUD to perform environmental reviews
for projects where Part 58 is not
permitted by law. Under Part 50, HUD
staff complete the environmental review
records, but they may use any
information supplied by an applicant or
contractor, provided HUD
independently evaluates the
information and is responsible for its
accuracy and prepares the
environmental finding. There is no
current format for applicants and
contractors to submit required
information, but HEROS would allow
these parties to submit environmental
information to HUD staff through the
system as well. HUD staff will then use
HEROS to complete the environmental
review record.
Respondents (i.e. affected public): The
respondents are state and local
governments receiving HUD funding
who are required to complete
environmental reviews.

to prepare the information collection

response:

This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected

information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) 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) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those

Part 58, ‘‘Environmental Review
Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD
Environmental Responsibilities’’
requires units of general local
government receiving HUD assistance to
maintain a written environmental
review record for all projects receiving
HUD funding documenting compliance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), the regulations of the
Council on Environmental Quality,
related federal environmental laws,
executive orders, and authorities, and
Part 58 procedure. Various laws that
authorize this procedure are listed in 24
CFR 58.1(b).
In the past, HUD recipients were
allowed to prepare their environmental
review records using HUD
recommended formats or equivalent
formats. Now, HUD is developing a new
online tool called the HUD
Environmental Review Online System
(HEROS), which will allow users to
complete, store, and submit their
environmental review records online.
HUD’s intention is HEROS will improve
HUD’s environmental reviews in a
number of ways. First, it will replace
HUD’s many environmental review
forms and requirements with one single
format housed online with guidance
integrated throughout to simplify the
process and assist new employees in the
preparation of their reviews. Second,
HUD plans to increase transparency and
overall compliance with NEPA by
posting many environmental review
records online for public review through
