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

The Federal Register notice that

at 82 FR 40590.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Closeout instruction for CDBG Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0193.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of a
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.

Impact Statement (Final PDARP/PEIS),
and the resulting Consent Decree, the
Federal and State natural resource
trustee agencies for the Florida Trustee
Implementation Group (Florida TIG)
have approved the Final Phase V.2
Restoration Plan and Supplemental
Environmental Assessment (Final Phase
V.2 RP/SEA) and Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI). The Final
Phase V.2 RP/SEA supplements the
2016 Final Phase V Early Restoration
Plan and Environmental Assessment
(Final Phase V ERP/EA) and selects to
fund the second phase of the Florida
Coastal Access Project intended to
continue the process of restoring natural
resources and services injured or lost as
a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill.
On or about April 20, 2010, the
mobile offshore drilling unit Deepwater
Horizon, which was being used to drill
a well for BP Exploration and
Production, Inc. (BP), in the Macondo
prospect (Mississippi Canyon 252–
MC252), experienced a significant
explosion, fire, and subsequent sinking
in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in an
unprecedented volume of oil and other
discharges from the rig and from the
wellhead on the seabed. The Deepwater
Horizon oil spill is the largest offshore
oil spill in U.S. history, discharging
millions of barrels of oil over a period
of 87 days. In addition, well over 1
million gallons of dispersants were
applied to the waters of the spill area in

an attempt to disperse the spilled oil.
An undetermined amount of natural gas
was also released into the environment
as a result of the spill.
The Trustees conducted the natural
resource damage assessment (NRDA) for
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill under
the Oil Pollution Act (33 U.S.C. 2791 et
seq.; OPA). Pursuant to OPA, Federal
and State agencies act as trustees on
behalf of the public to assess natural
resource injuries and losses and to
determine the actions required to
compensate the public for those injuries
and losses. OPA further instructs the
designated trustees to develop and
implement a plan for the restoration,
rehabilitation, replacement, or
acquisition of the equivalent of the
injured natural resources under their
trusteeship, including the loss of use
and services from those resources from
the time of injury until the time of
restoration to baseline (the resource
quality and conditions that would exist
if the spill had not occurred) is
complete.
The Deepwater Horizon Trustees are:
• U.S. Department of the Interior
(DOI), as represented by the National
Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and Bureau of Land
Management;
• National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), on behalf of
the U.S. Department of Commerce;
• U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA);
• U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA);
• State of Louisiana Coastal
Protection and Restoration Authority,
Oil Spill Coordinator’s Office,
Department of Environmental Quality,
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries,
and Department of Natural Resources;
• State of Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality;
• State of Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources and
Geological Survey of Alabama;
• State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection and Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission; and
• State of Texas: Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department, Texas General
Land Office, and Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality.
Upon completion of the NRDA, the
