SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from 
OMB for the information collection described in section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Service Coordinators in 
Multifamily Housing.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0447.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Numbers: HUD-2530, HUD-92456, HUD-92456-G, HUD-50080-SCMF, 
HUD-91186, HUD-91186-A, SF-424, SF-424-Supp, HUD-2880, SF-LLL, SF-425.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    This request seeks approval for the following items:
    1. Revision of form HUD-50080-SCMF;
    2. Elimination of the standard form (SF) 425 ``Federal Financial 
Report'' and form HUD-96010 ``Logic Model'' for Service Coordinator in 
Multifamily Housing grant recipients, and
    3. Grant application intake submission requirements for the 
Upcoming Notice of Funding availability (NOFA) for the Seniors and 
Services Demonstration program. The eligible applicant pool for this 
demonstration will be aligned with the Service Coordinators in 
Multifamily Housing program.
    As a result, this request will reduce the number of respondents, 
responses per annum, frequency of Responses, and total Estimated Burden 
hours.
    The collection of information is necessary to ensure efficient and 
proper use of funds for eligible activities. Without this information, 
HUD staff cannot assess the need for funds and effectively monitor 
grantees' program performance and administration. In addition, the 
information collection will assist applicants in better determining 
their need for funds. The information will also enable grantees to more 
effectively evaluate their program performance; account for funds, and 
maintain appropriate program records.
    Grant funds are taken to pay costs previously incurred and are 
obtained through use of the electronic Line of Credit Control System 
(eLOCCS). Grantees are required to draw down from eLOCCS monthly or 
quarterly.
    Grantees will submit the revised form HUD-50080-SCMF on a semi-
annual basis. Grantees will complete one worksheet per draw down. Each 
worksheet will list every expense incurred during that month or 
quarter. Grantees will be required to maintain detailed expense 
documentation in their files. HUD may request copies of such 
documentation if additional program review is warranted.
    The data reported will allow HUD staff to track expenses and 
drawdown of funds for eligible costs at intervals within the grant 
term. The modified form and submission schedule are designed to reduce 
burden and collect valid and relevant data.
    HUD proposes to substitute the revised form HUD-50080-SCMF for the 
SF-425, ``Federal Financial Report.'' The SF-425 does not provide HUD 
with any data that is not already available in LOCCS or that will be 
reported in the revised HUD-50080-SCMF. The revised HUD-50080-SCMF 
provides the most essential information HUD needs to determine whether 
federal funds have been used properly.
    Respondents: Multifamily Housing assisted housing owners.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,770.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 13,790.
    Frequency of Response: Semi-annually to annually.
    Average Hours per Response: 10.2.
    Total Estimated Burden hours: 61,060.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of 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 who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comments in response to 
these questions.

     Authority:  Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35.

    Dated: April 22, 2015.
Laura M. Marin,
Associate General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing-Associate 
Deputy Federal Housing Commissioner.
