Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 67 / Tuesday, April 8, 2014 / Notices
described in Section A. The Federal
Register notice that solicited public
comment on the information collection
for a period of 60 days was published
on November 22, 2013.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: FHA
Stakeholder Feedback for the New FHA
Single Family Policy Handbook.
OMB Approval Number: 2502-New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: FHA is
developing a new FHA Single Family
Policy Handbook (SF Handbook). The
handbook is a single, consolidated and
authoritative source for FHA Single
family Housing Policy. The handbook
will make it easier to do business with
FHA Single Family by:
• Consolidating policy into one
Handbook
• Using simple, more directive language
• Aligning the flow of the handbook to
the lender/mortgage process.
Without feedback, FHA’s final
Handbook would lack critical revisions
or changes that would improve its
usefulness. In particular, obtaining
feedback permits FHA to have a
handbook that helps lenders and
appraisers quickly find needed
information and reduces the need for
them to obtain clarification and
direction on existing and changing
policy.
Respondents: (i.e. affected public):
Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,020.
Estimated Number of Responses:
9,200.
Frequency of Response: Varies.
Average Hours per Response: .5.
Total Estimated Burdens: 4,600.

practicable to ensure that we take this
opportunity to meet with tribal
representatives while they are in
Arlington for the conference. This
consultation session follows the
consultation session held on the same
topic at the National Congress of
American Indians (NCAI) Executive
Winter Session in March 2014. This
notice also extends the deadline for
submission of written comments to July
31, 2014.
The FY 2014 Consolidated
Appropriations Act includes funding to
implement the Indian SelfDetermination and Education
Assistance Act of 1975 and authorizes
discretionary appropriations for CSC for
both the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
and IHS. The Act did not limit the
amount available in the FY, as in prior
years, for the payment of CSC, nor did
it include the proposal put forth in the
Administration’s FY 2014 budget
request that would place a cap on the
CSC amounts available for each tribal
contract or compact. Instead, as set forth
in the Joint Explanatory Statement
accompanying the Act, Congress
‘‘remanded back to the agencies to
resolve’’ the determination of CSC
amounts to be paid from within the FY
2014 appropriation.
Congress further directed BIA and IHS
to consult with the tribes and work with
the House and Senate committees of
jurisdiction, the Office of Management
and Budget, and the Committees on
Appropriations to formulate long-term
accounting, budget, and legislative
strategies to work on solutions going
forward. Congress indicated that the
solution should consider a standardized
approach that streamlines the contract
negotiation process, provides consistent
and clear cost categories, and ensures
efficient and timely cost documentation
for the agencies and the tribes. This
session will allow for broad input
regarding these activities.
The BIA and IHS plan to continue
consultation throughout the following
months as each agency addresses
implementation of its work plan,
required to be submitted to Congress by
May 17, 2014. The work plans will
detail the schedule of future
consultation sessions and they will be
made available as soon as possible.
Dated: April 2, 2014.

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.
