A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Indian
Community Development Block Grant
Information Collection.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0191.
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

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
