This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Urban County Qualification/
New York Towns Qualification/
Requalification Processes.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0170.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended, at sections
102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires that any
county seeking qualification as an urban
county notify each unit of general local
government within the county that such
unit may enter into a cooperation
agreement to participate in the CDBG
program as part of the county. Section
102(d) of the statute specifies that the
period of qualification will be three
years. Based on these statutory
provisions, counties seeking
qualification or requalification as urban
counties under the CDBG program must
provide information to HUD every three
years identifying the units of general
local governments (UGLGs) within the
county participating as a part of the
county for purposes of receiving CDBG
funds. The population of UGLGs for
each eligible urban county is used in
HUD’s allocation of CDBG funds for all
entitlement and State CDBG grantees.
New York towns undertook a similar
process every three years. However,
after consultation with program counsel,
it was determined that a requalification
process for New York towns is
unnecessary because the units of general
local government in New York towns do
not have the same statutory notice rights
(under Section 102(e) of the Housing
and Community Development Act of
1974) as units of general local
government participating in an urban
county. However, those New York
Towns may qualify as metropolitan
cities if they are able to secure the
participation of all of the villages
located within their boundaries. Any
New York Town that is located in an
urban county may choose to leave that
urban county when that county is
requalifying to become a metropolitan
city. That New York Town will be
required to notify the urban county in
advance of its decision to defer
participation in the urban county’s
CDBG program and complete the
metropolitan city qualification process.
