Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection. Form Number: HUD–4123, HUD– 4125. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 authorizes Indian Community Development Block Grants (ICDBG) and requires that grants be awarded annually on a competitive basis. The purpose of the ICDBG program is to develop viable Indian and Alaska Native communities by creating decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities primarily for low- and moderate-income persons. Consistent with this objective, not less than 70 percent of the expenditures are to benefit low and moderate-income persons. Eligible applicants include Federally-recognized tribes, which includes Alaska Native communities, and tribally authorized tribal organizations. Eligible categories of funding include housing rehabilitation, land acquisition to support new housing, homeownership assistance, public facilities and improvements, economic development, and microenterprise programs. For a complete description of eligible activities, please refer to 24 CFR 1003, subpart C. The ICDBG program regulations are at 24 CFR part 1003. The ICDBG program requires eligible applicants to submit information to enable HUD to select the best projects for funding during annual competitions. Additionally, the information submitted is essential for PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 HUD in monitoring grants to ensure that grantees are complying with applicable statutes and regulations and implementing activities as approved. ICDBG applicants must submit a complete application package which includes an Application for Federal Assistance (SF–424), Applicant/ Recipient Disclosure/Update Report (HUD–2880), Cost Summary (HUD– 4123), and Implementation Schedule (HUD–4125). If the applicant has a waiver of the electronic submission requirement and is submitting a paper application, an Acknowledgement of Application Receipt (HUD–2993) must also be submitted. If the applicant is a tribal organization, a resolution from the tribe stating that the tribal organization is submitting an application on behalf of the tribe must also be included in the application package. ICDBG recipients are required to submit a quarterly Federal Financial Report (SF–425) that describes the use of grant funds drawn from the recipient’s line of credit. The reports are used to monitor cash transfers to the recipients and obtain expenditure data from the recipients. (24 CFR 1003.501(16)) The regulations at 24 CFR part 85 require that grantees and sub-grantees ‘‘take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that minority firms, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are used when possible’’ (24 CFR 85.36(e)). Consistent with these regulations, 24 CFR 1003.506(b) requires that ICDBG grantees report on these activities on an annual basis, with Contract and Subcontract Activity Report being due to HUD on October 10 of each year (HUD–2516). The regulations at 24 CFR 1003.506 instruct recipients to submit to HUD an Annual Status and Evaluation Report (ASER) that describes the progress made in completing approved activities with a listing of work to be completed; a breakdown of funds expended; and when the project is completed, a program evaluation expressing the effectiveness of the project in meeting community development needs. The ASER is due by November 15 each year and at grant closeout. The information collected will allow HUD to accurately audit the program. Respondents: Federally recognized Native American Tribes, Alaska Native communities and corporations, and tribal organizations E:\FR\FM\07JAN1.SGM 07JAN1
