This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A. The Federal Register notice
that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60
days was published on August 3, 2018
at 83 FR 38162.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Information Collection: HOPE
VI Implementation and HOPE VI Main
Street Programs: Funding and Program
Data Collection.
OMB Approved Number: 2577–0208.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with
change, of a previously approved
collection.
Form Number: HUD–52825–A, HUD–
52861, and HUD–53001–A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Section
24 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as
added by section 535 of the Quality
Housing and Work Responsibility Act of
1998 (Pub L. 105–276, 112 Stat. 2461,
approved October 21, 1998) and revised
by the HOPE VI Program
Reauthorization and Small Community
Main Street Rejuvenation and Housing
Act of 2003 (Pub. L.108–186, 117 Stat.
2685, approved December 16, 2003),
established the HOPE VI program for the
purpose of making assistance available
on a competitive basis to Public
Housing Agencies (PHAs) in improving
the living environment for Public
Housing residents of severely distressed
Public Housing projects through the
demolition, rehabilitation,
reconfiguration, or replacement of
severely distressed public housing
projects (or portions thereof); and,
beginning in Fiscal Year 2004, in
rejuvenating the traditional or historic
downtown areas of smaller units of local
government. Funds were appropriated
for competitive HOPE VI
Implementation Notices of Funding
Availability (NOFAs) through Fiscal
Year 2011. The program title has
changed from ‘‘HOPE VI Application’’
to ‘‘HOPE VI and HOPE VI Main Street
Program,’’ to better describe this
collection. The remaining HOPE VI
Implementation grants account for most
of the burden. However, HOPE VI funds
are no longer being appropriated. HOPE
VI Main Street funds are being funded
through the Choice Neighborhoods
Initiative appropriations.
Collections in support of the HOPE VI
Implementation NOFAs, which ended
PO 00000
Frm 00046

in 2011, are being deleted from this ICR,
which include forms HUD–52860–A,
HUD–52774, HUD–52780, HUD–52785,
HUD–52787, HUD–52790, HUD–52797,
HUD–52798, HUD–52799, HUD–52800,
SF–424, SF–LLL, HUD–2880, HUD–
96010, HUD–96011 and HUD–52861.
The total burden is decreasing from
26,516 hours to 3,980 hours and the cost
is decreasing from $1,156,305.00 to
$226,860.
Currently, there are approximately 55
HOPE VI Implementation grants that
remain active and must be monitored by
HUD. HUD publishes competitive biannual NOFAs for the HOPE VI Main
Street program and monitors grants that
have been awarded through those
NOFAs.
These information collections are
required in connection with the
monitoring of the remaining active
HOPE VI Implementation grants and the
bi-annual publication on https://
www.grants.gov of HOPE VI Main Street
NOFAs, contingent upon available
funding and authorization, which
announce the availability of funds
provided in annual appropriations for
Section 24 of the Housing Act of 1937,
as amended.
Eligible units of local government
interested in obtaining HOPE VI Main
Street grants are required to submit
applications to HUD, as explained in
each NOFA. The information collection
conducted in the applications enables
HUD to conduct a comprehensive,
merit-based selection process in order to
identify and select the applications to
receive funding. With the use of HUDprescribed forms, the information
collection provides HUD with sufficient
information to approve or disapprove
applications.
Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI
Implementation grants are required to
report on a quarterly basis on the
sources and uses of all amounts
expended for the Implementation grant
revitalization activities. HOPE VI
Implementation grantees use a fullyautomated, internet-based process for
the submission of quarterly reporting
information. HUD reviews and evaluates
the collected information and uses it as
a primary tool with which to monitor
the status of HOPE VI projects and the
HOPE VI programs.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Public Housing Agencies and units of
local Governments.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: HOPE VI Implementation and HOPE VI
Main Street Programs: Funding and Program Data Collection.
OMB Approved Number: 2577-0208.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously
approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-52825-A, HUD-52861, and HUD-53001-A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Section 24 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as added by section 535 of
the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (Pub L. 105-
276, 112 Stat. 2461, approved October 21, 1998) and revised by the HOPE
VI Program Reauthorization and Small Community Main Street Rejuvenation
and Housing Act of 2003 (Pub. L.108-186, 117 Stat. 2685, approved
December 16, 2003), established the HOPE VI program for the purpose of
making assistance available on a competitive basis to Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs) in improving the living environment for Public Housing
residents of severely distressed Public Housing projects through the
demolition, rehabilitation, reconfiguration, or replacement of severely
distressed public housing projects (or portions thereof); and,
beginning in Fiscal Year 2004, in rejuvenating the traditional or
historic downtown areas of smaller units of local government. Funds
were appropriated for competitive HOPE VI Implementation Notices of
Funding Availability (NOFAs) through Fiscal Year 2011. The program
title has changed from ``HOPE VI Application'' to ``HOPE VI and HOPE VI
Main Street Program,'' to better describe this collection. The
remaining HOPE VI Implementation grants account for most of the burden.
However, HOPE VI funds are no longer being appropriated. HOPE VI Main
Street funds are being funded through the Choice Neighborhoods
Initiative appropriations.
Collections in support of the HOPE VI Implementation NOFAs, which
ended in 2011, are being deleted from this ICR, which include forms
HUD-52860-A, HUD-52774, HUD-52780, HUD-52785, HUD-52787, HUD-52790,
HUD-52797, HUD-52798, HUD-52799, HUD-52800, SF-424, SF-LLL, HUD-2880,
HUD-96010, HUD-96011 and HUD-52861. The total burden is decreasing from
26,516 hours to 3,980 hours and the cost is decreasing from
$1,156,305.00 to $226,860.
Currently, there are approximately 55 HOPE VI Implementation grants
that remain active and must be monitored by HUD. HUD publishes
competitive bi-annual NOFAs for the HOPE VI Main Street program and
monitors grants that have been awarded through those NOFAs.
These information collections are required in connection with the
monitoring of the remaining active HOPE VI Implementation grants and
the bi-annual publication on https://www.grants.gov of HOPE VI Main
Street NOFAs, contingent upon available funding and authorization,
which announce the availability of funds provided in annual
appropriations for Section 24 of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
Eligible units of local government interested in obtaining HOPE VI
Main Street grants are required to submit applications to HUD, as
explained in each NOFA. The information collection conducted in the
applications enables HUD to conduct a comprehensive, merit-based
selection process in order to identify and select the applications to
receive funding. With the use of HUD-prescribed forms, the information
collection provides HUD with sufficient information to approve or
disapprove applications.
Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI Implementation grants are
required to report on a quarterly basis on the sources and uses of all
amounts expended for the Implementation grant revitalization
activities. HOPE VI Implementation grantees use a fully-automated,
internet-based process for the submission of quarterly reporting
information. HUD reviews and evaluates the collected information and
uses it as a primary tool with which to monitor the status of HOPE VI
projects and the HOPE VI programs.
Respondents (i.e. affected public): Public Housing Agencies and
units of local Governments.
