SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: RHS—Housing Preservation
Grant Program.
OMB Number: 0575–0115.
Expiration Date of Approval: July 31,
2016.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The primary purpose of the
Housing Preservation Grant Program is
to repair or rehabilitate individual
housing, rental properties, or co-ops
owned or occupied by very low-and
low-income rural persons. Grantees will
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
provide eligible homeowners, owners of
rental properties and owners of co-ops
with financial assistance through loans,
grants, interest reduction payments or
other comparable financial assistance
for necessary repairs and rehabilitation
of dwellings to bring them up to code
or minimum property standards. Where
repair and rehabilitation assistance is
not economically feasible or practical
the replacement of existing, individual
owner occupied housing is available.
These grants were established by
Public Law 98–181, the Housing
Urban—Rural Recovery Act of 1983,
which amended the Housing Act of
1979 (Pub. L. 93–383) by adding section
533, 42 U.S.C. S 2490(m), Housing
Preservation Grants (HPG). In addition,
the Secretary of Agriculture has
authority to prescribe rules and
regulations to implement HPG and other
programs under 42 U.S.C. S 1480(j).
Section 533(d) is prescriptive about
the information applicants are to submit
to RHS as part of their application and
in the assessments and criteria RHS is
to use in selecting grantees. An
applicant is to submit a ‘‘statement of
activity’’ describing its proposed
program, including the specific
activities it will undertake, and its
schedule. RHS is required in turn to
evaluate proposals on a set of prescribed
criteria, for which the applicant will
also have to provide information, such
as: (1) Very low- and low-income
persons proposed to be served by the
repair and rehabilitation activities; (2)
participation by other public and
private organizations to leverage funds
and lower the cost to the HPG program;
(3) the area to be served in terms of
population and need: (4) Cost data to
assure greatest degree of assistance at
lowest cost; (5) administrative capacity
of the applicant to carry out the
program. The information collected will
be the minimum required by law and by
necessity for RHS to assure that it funds
responsible grantees proposing feasible
projects in areas of greatest need. Most
data are taken from a localized area,
although some are derived from census
reports of city, county and Federal
Government’s showing population and
housing characteristics.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .906 hours per
response.
Respondents: A public body or a
public or private non-profit corporation.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,246.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 6.683.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 7,544 hours.
