Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 223 / Wednesday, November 19, 2014 / Notices
added by section 535 of the Quality
Housing and Work Responsibility Act of
1998 (Pub. L. 105–276, 112 Stat. 2461,
approved October 21, 1998) and revised
by the HOPE VI Program
Reauthorization and Small Community
Main Street Rejuvenation and Housing
Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–186, 117 Stat.
2685, approved December 16, 2003),
establishes the HOPE VI program for the
purpose of making assistance available
on a competitive basis to public housing
agencies (PHAs) in improving the living
environment for public housing
residents of severely distressed public
housing projects through the
demolition, rehabilitation,
reconfiguration, or replacement of
severely distressed public housing
projects (or portions thereof); in
revitalizing areas in which public
housing sites are located, and
contributing to the improvement of the
surrounding community; in providing
housing that avoids or decreases the
concentration of very low-income
families; and in building sustainable
communities. In addition, the HOPE VI
Program Reauthorization and Small
Community Main Street Rejuvenation
and Housing Act of 2003 added to the
HOPE VI program the purpose of
making assistance available on a
competitive basis to small units of local
government to develop affordable
housing as part of Main Street
rejuvenation projects. The program
authorization was renewed by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010
(Pub. L. 111–117, approved December
16, 2009), which extends the program
until September 30, 2011. Under this
requirement, the Department only has a
few months to award and obligate the
2011 funds or they will be returned to
the Treasury. These information
collections are required in connection
with the annual publication in the
Federal Register of Notices of Funding
Availability (NOFAs), contingent upon
available funding and authorization,
which announce the availability of
funds provided in annual
appropriations for HOPE VI
Revitalization, Demolition grants, and
HOPE VI Main Street grants.
Eligible public housing agencies
(PHAs) (for HOPE VI Revitalization and
Demolition) and eligible local units of
government (for HOPE VI Main Street)
interested in obtaining HOPE VI grants
are required to submit applications to
HUD, as explained in each program
NOFA. The information collection
conducted in the applications enables
HUD to conduct a comprehensive,
merit-based selection process in order to
identify and select the applications to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:16 Nov 18, 2014
Jkt 235001
receive funding. With the use of HUDprescribed forms, the information
collection provides HUD with sufficient
information to approve or disapprove
applications.
Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI
grants are required to report on a
quarterly basis on the sources and uses
of all amounts expended for
revitalization, demolition, or Main
Street activities. HOPE VI Revitalization
grantees use a fully-automated, Internetbased process for the submission of
quarterly reporting information. HUD
reviews and evaluates the collected
information and uses it as a primary tool
with which to monitor the status of
HOPE VI Revitalization projects and the
HOPE VI Revitalization program.
Members of affected public: Public
Housing Agencies.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response:
For HOPE VI Revitalization
Application: 30 respondents, once
annually, 195.5 hours average per
response results in a total annual
reporting burden of 5,865.0 hours.
For HOPE VI Demolition
Applications: 34 respondents, once
annually, 40.25 hours average per
response results in a total annual
reporting burden of 1,368.50 hours.
For HOPE VI Main Street
Applications: 15 respondents, once
annually, 48.67 hours average per
response results in a total annual
reporting burden of 675.0 hours.
For HOPE VI Revitalization Quarterly
Reporting: 207 respondents, 4 times
annually, 20 hours average per response
results in a total annual reporting
burden of 16,560 hours.
Grand total: These information
collections, along with other Non-NOFA
information collection items required in
connection with the HOPE VI program
including budget updates, supportive
services and relocation plans, and cost
certificates result in an annual total
reporting burden of 26,516.00 hours.
