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:
Closeout instructions for CDBG
Programs.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0193.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD 7082-Funding
Approval Form.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The
closeout instructions apply to
Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) programs (State CDBG Program,
CDBG Disaster Recovery Supplemental
Funding, CDBG-Recovery Act (CDBG–
R)) and Neighborhood Stabilization
Programs (NSP) 1, 2, & 3. Section
570.509 of the CDBG regulations
contains the grant closeout criteria for
Entitlement jurisdictions when HUD
determines, in consultation with the
recipients that a grant can be closed.
The State CDBG program does not have
a regulatory requirement for closeouts
but has relied on administrative
guidance. This is also true for the NSP,
CDBG Disaster Recovery and CDBG–R
programs administrated by the state.
States will use the Notice as a vehicle
to verify that State CDBG funds have
been properly spent before a grant may
be officially closed. The HUD field
office will prepare and send a closeout
package that includes a transmittal
letter, grant closeout agreement, grantee
closeout certification and a closeout
checklist to the grantee via email or
standard mail. The information in the
closeout package will assist the
Department in determining whether all
requirements of the contract between
the Department and the Grantee have
been completed.
The HUD 7082 Funding Approval Form
The Grant Agreement between the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) and the Grantee is
made pursuant to the authority of Title
I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended,
(42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.). HUD will make
the funding assistance as specified to
the grantee upon execution of the
Agreement.
Respondents (i.e., affected public):
This information collection applies to
all States, Entitlement jurisdictions,
Insular Areas, non-entitlement counties
in Hawaii and those non-entitlement
counties directly funded by NSP 3 and
CDBG–DR.
Estimated Number of Respondents/
Estimated Number of Responses: The
estimated combined number of
respondents is 3,294 for the grant
closeout task and for the HUD 7082
funding approval form. The proposed
frequency of the response to the
collection of information is annual to
initiate the grant closeout reporting and
submission of the funding approval
agreement. The total annual reporting
for grant closeout is estimated at
2,602.77 hours for 1,728 grant
recipients. The annual submission of
the HUD 7082 funding approval form is
estimated at 468.5 hours for 1,566 grant
recipients.
Frequency of Response: At time of
closeout.
Average Hours per Response: 6.23.
Total Estimated Burdens: 2,602.77
hours.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Closeout instructions for CDBG
Programs.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0193.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD 7082-Funding Approval Form.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The
closeout instructions apply to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
programs (State CDBG Program, CDBG Disaster Recovery Supplemental
Funding, CDBG-Recovery Act (CDBG-R)) and Neighborhood Stabilization
Programs (NSP) 1, 2, & 3. Section 570.509 of the CDBG regulations
contains the grant closeout criteria for Entitlement jurisdictions when
HUD determines, in consultation with the recipients that a grant can be
closed. The State CDBG program does not have a regulatory requirement
for closeouts but has relied on administrative guidance. This is also
true for the NSP, CDBG Disaster Recovery and CDBG-R programs
administrated by the state. States will use the Notice as a vehicle to
verify that State CDBG funds have been properly spent before a grant
may be officially closed. The HUD field office will prepare and send a
closeout package that includes a transmittal letter, grant closeout
agreement, grantee closeout certification and a closeout checklist to
the grantee via email or standard mail. The information in the closeout
package will assist the Department in determining whether all
requirements of the contract between the Department and the Grantee
have been completed.
The HUD 7082 Funding Approval Form
The Grant Agreement between the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) and the Grantee is made pursuant to the authority of
Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended, (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.). HUD will make the funding assistance
as specified to the grantee upon execution of the Agreement.
Respondents (i.e., affected public): This information collection
applies to all States, Entitlement jurisdictions, Insular Areas, non-
entitlement counties in Hawaii and those non-entitlement counties
directly funded by NSP 3 and CDBG-DR.
Estimated Number of Respondents/Estimated Number of Responses: The
estimated combined number of respondents is 3,294 for the grant
closeout task and for the HUD 7082 funding approval form. The proposed
frequency of the response to the collection of information is annual to
initiate the grant closeout reporting and submission of the funding
approval agreement. The total annual reporting for grant closeout is
estimated at 2,602.77 hours for 1,728 grant recipients. The annual
submission of the HUD 7082 funding approval form is estimated at 468.5
hours for 1,566 grant recipients.
Frequency of Response: At time of closeout.
Average Hours per Response: 6.23.
Total Estimated Burdens: 2,602.77 hours.
