SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
ADDRESSES:
Title of Information Collection:
Housing Opportunities for Persons With
AIDS (HOPWA): Grant Application
Submission, Recordkeeping, and
Reporting.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0133.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: HUD–40110–B, HUD–
40110–C, HUD–40110–D, SF–424, SF–
LLL, and HUD–2991.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
current paperwork reduction act
approval under OMB Control No. 2506–
0133 covers both the HOPWA formula
and competitive grant programs. The
competitive grant program includes new
competitive grants and renewal grants.
The information collection requirements

requirements which will be used to rate
applications, determine eligibility, and
establish grant amounts. HOPWA plans
to continue using form HUD–40110–B,
HOPWA Competitive Application &
Renewal of Permanent Supportive
Housing Project Budget Summary, as a
component of determining applicant
eligibility and establishing grant
amounts for competitive grants. Limited
technical edits are proposed for form
HUD–40110–B. HOPWA competitive
and renewal application submission
also require submission of the following
forms: SF424; SFLLL; and HUD–2991.
Form HUD–2991 is currently covered
under OMB approval number 2506–
0112.
The addition of narratives to address
the five HUD standard rating factors will
allow HUD to rate application and
further determine eligibility and
establish grant amounts. Applicants
applying for HUD competitive funds are
required to respond to these five rating
factors in narrative form. These
narratives will complement the
currently approved budget summary
form, and allow HUD to determine if
applicants are proposing projects within
statutory and regulatory limitations. The
five HUD standard rating factors
include: Factor 1: Capacity of the
Applicant and Relevant Organizational
Staff; Factor 2: Need/Extent of the
Problem; Factor 3: Soundness of
Approach; Factor 4: Leveraging
Resources; and Factor 5: Achieving
Results and Program Evaluation. New
HOPWA competitive applicants will be
required to respond to each rating factor
within the page limits establish in the
grant solicitation. HOPWA renewal
applicants will also be required to
respond with narratives, but the
information will be more limited and
focused on continued compliance with
the HOPWA program activities
originally awarded until their initial
grant application.
The reporting and recordkeeping for
both HOPWA formula and competitive
grant programs are also included in this
approval. Technical edits are proposed
for forms HUD–40110–C and HUD–
40110–D, and are limited to updating
outdated references and information
currently contained in the forms.
Grantees provide annual information on
program accomplishments that supports
program evaluation and the ability to
measure program beneficiary outcomes

related to: Maintaining housing
stability; preventing homelessness; and
improving access to care and support.
Competitive grantees report through
HUD–40110–C, the HOPWA Annual
Performance Report (APR); Formula
grantees report through HUD–40110–D,
the HOPWA Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report
(CAPER). Grantees are required to report
on the activities undertaken only. HUD
systematically reviews and conducts
data analysis in order to prepare
national and individual grantee
performance profiles that are not only
used to measure program performance
against benchmark goals and objectives,
but also to communicate the program’s
achievement and contributions towards
Departmental strategic goals.
Completed technical edits
incorporated into forms covered by this
proposed information collection, as
discussed above.

Renewal grants are awarded for a
three-year operating period. Currently,
there are 82 eligible renewal grantees.
The number of respondents listed for
HOPWA renewal applications
represents one-third of the renewal
grantees, or the estimated number of
grantees projected to renew HOPWA
grants each year. The number of
respondents listed for HOPWA
competitive applications represents the
number of respondents expected to
submit an application if funding
becomes available in the next three
years. Form HUD–40110–C, the APR is
submitted by all renewal and
competitive grantees on an annual basis.
The number of respondents for the APR
include 82 renewal grantees, eight (8)
current HOPWA competitive grantees,
and nine (9) potential competitive
grantees, if funding becomes available.
HOPWA grantees and applicants may
be required to respond to more than one
piece of information collection. The
total number of respondents include: 82
Renewal grantees, eight (8) current
HOPWA competitive grantees, 40
potential competitive applicants, and

The total of 552 total annual responses
captures each unique response from the
258 respondents. All annualized costs
reflect staff time spent on tasks in the
table. The hourly rate is based on a GS–
9 for Rest of United States. 26,713 hours
* $23.85 = $637,105.05.

Title of Information Collection: HUD
Environmental Review Online System
(HEROS).
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0202.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: 24 CFR
part 58, ‘‘Environmental Review
Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD
Environmental Responsibilities’’
requires units of general local
government receiving HUD assistance to
maintain a written environmental
review record for all projects receiving
HUD funding documenting compliance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), the regulations of the
Council on Environmental Quality,
related federal environmental laws,
executive orders, and authorities, and
Part 58 procedure. Various laws that
authorize this procedure are listed in 24
CFR 58.1(b). 24 CFR part 50, ‘‘Protection
and Enhancement of Environmental
Quality,’’ implements procedures for
HUD to perform environmental reviews
for projects where Part 58 is not
permitted by law. Under Part 50, HUD
staff complete the environmental review
records, but they may use any
information supplied by an applicant or
contractor, provided HUD
independently evaluates the
information and is responsible for its
accuracy and prepares the
environmental finding. The HUD
Environmental Review Online System
(HEROS) allows users to complete,
store, and submit their environmental
review records and documents online.
HEROS is currently optional for
Responsible Entity and other non-HUD
users, who may continue to use paperbased environmental review formats;
however, HUD staff in many offices are
required to use HEROS to complete
their environmental reviews.
Respondents (i.e. affected public): The
respondents are state and local
governments receiving HUD funding
who are required to complete
environmental reviews.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,932.
Estimated Number of Responses: 1.
Frequency of Response: 3,932.
Average Hours per Response: Varies
depending on level of review (see table
below). Reviews that are exempt or
categorically excluded not subject to the
related laws and authorities (CENST)
take roughly 45 minutes to complete.

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: Housing Opportunities for Persons
With AIDS (HOPWA): Grant Application Submission, Recordkeeping, and
Reporting.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0133.
Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-40110-B, HUD-40110-C, HUD-40110-D, SF-424, SF-LLL,
and HUD-2991.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
current paperwork reduction act approval under OMB Control No. 2506-
0133 covers both the HOPWA formula and competitive grant programs. The
competitive grant program includes new competitive grants and renewal
grants. The information collection requirements pertain to grant
application submission requirements which will be used to rate
applications, determine eligibility, and establish grant amounts. HOPWA
plans to continue using form HUD-40110-B, HOPWA Competitive Application
& Renewal of Permanent Supportive Housing Project Budget Summary, as a
component of determining applicant eligibility and establishing grant
amounts for competitive grants. Limited technical edits are proposed
for form HUD-40110-B. HOPWA competitive and renewal application
submission also require submission of the following forms: SF424;
SFLLL; and HUD-2991. Form HUD-2991 is currently covered under OMB
approval number 2506-0112.
The addition of narratives to address the five HUD standard rating
factors will allow HUD to rate application and further determine
eligibility and establish grant amounts. Applicants applying for HUD
competitive funds are required to respond to these five rating factors
in narrative form. These narratives will complement the currently
approved budget summary form, and allow HUD to determine if applicants
are proposing projects within statutory and regulatory limitations. The
five HUD standard rating factors include: Factor 1: Capacity of the
Applicant and Relevant Organizational Staff; Factor 2: Need/Extent of
the Problem; Factor 3: Soundness of Approach; Factor 4: Leveraging
Resources; and Factor 5: Achieving Results and Program Evaluation. New
HOPWA competitive applicants will be required to respond to each rating
factor within the page limits establish in the grant solicitation.
HOPWA renewal applicants will also be required to respond with
narratives, but the information will be more limited and focused on
continued compliance with the HOPWA program activities originally
awarded until their initial grant application.
The reporting and recordkeeping for both HOPWA formula and
competitive grant programs are also included in this approval.
Technical edits are proposed for forms HUD-40110-C and HUD-40110-D, and
are limited to updating outdated references and information currently
contained in the forms. Grantees provide annual information on program
accomplishments that supports program evaluation and the ability to
measure program beneficiary outcomes
[[Page 27717]]
related to: Maintaining housing stability; preventing homelessness; and
improving access to care and support. Competitive grantees report
through HUD-40110-C, the HOPWA Annual Performance Report (APR); Formula
grantees report through HUD-40110-D, the HOPWA Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Grantees are required to
report on the activities undertaken only. HUD systematically reviews
and conducts data analysis in order to prepare national and individual
grantee performance profiles that are not only used to measure program
performance against benchmark goals and objectives, but also to
communicate the program's achievement and contributions towards
Departmental strategic goals.
Completed technical edits incorporated into forms covered by this
proposed information collection, as discussed above.

under the HOPWA Program are based on the rating factors set forth in
the published Notice of Funding Award (NOFA) and the criteria

to renew HOPWA grants each year. The number of respondents listed for
HOPWA competitive applications represents the number of respondents
expected to submit an application if funding becomes available in the
next three years. Form HUD-40110-C, the APR is submitted by all renewal
and competitive grantees on an annual basis. The number of respondents
for the APR include 82 renewal grantees, eight (8) current HOPWA
