This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Service Coordinators in Multifamily
Housing.
OMB Approval Number: 2502–0447.
OMB Expiration Date: 11/30/18.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of
with change, of previously approved
collection for which approval has
expired.
Form Numbers: HUD–91186, HUD–
91186–A, HUD–50080–SCMF, HUD–
2530, HUD–2880, SF–424, SF–424-Supp
and SF–LLL.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
collection of information is necessary to
ensure efficient and proper use of funds
for eligible activities. This information
collection will assist HUD in better
determining the need and eligibility
when reviewing a new request for
funding. Further, without this
information, HUD staff cannot
effectively assess the continued need for
renewals. The information will also
enable HUD and the grantees to more
effectively evaluate their program
performance, account for funds and
maintain appropriate program records.
Grant funds are taken to pay costs
previously incurred and are obtained
through use of the electronic Line of
Credit Control System (eLOCCS).
Grantees are required to draw down
from eLOCCS monthly or quarterly.
Grantees will submit the revised form
HUD–50080–SCMF on a semi-annual
basis. Grantees will complete one
worksheet per draw down. Each
worksheet will list every expense
incurred during that month or quarter.
Grantees will be required to maintain
detailed expense documentation in their
files. HUD may request copies of such
documentation if additional program
review is warranted. The data reported
will allow HUD staff to track expenses
and drawdown of funds for eligible
costs at intervals within the grant term.
Respondents: Multifamily Housing
assisted housing owners.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,230.
Estimated Number of Responses:
9,420.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly to
annually.
Average Hours per Response: 1.5
hour.
Total Estimated Burden hours: 8,560.

Public notification of the renewal of
these forms was made in December 20,
2017 as part of the Consolidated
Competive Grant Paperwork Reduction
Act Notice (FR–6005–N–01, 82 FR

Members of affected public:
Applicants for HUD competitively
funded assistance.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The forms are used
by entities when they apply for grants.
As HUD receives roughly 14,000
applications on an annual basis, we
expect that there will be 14,000
respondents who may be completing
these forms. HUD estimates that the
hourly rate of individuals completing
the form, at $60.74 per hour.1 The total
estimated burden on respondents would
thus reach $2,648,264.00 on an annual
basis. This is shown in the following

processes for several HUD programs.
The policy of standardization is in
accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Financial Assistance
Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106–
107, signed November 20, 1999). The
HUD 424 Supplement, Survey on
Ensuring Equal Opportunity for
Applicants is completed by nonprofit
organizations to provide HUD with an
understanding of the population of
applicants for Federal funds.
In addition, the collection references
a number of standard forms from the
government wide SF Family of Forms.
These forms are used for all HUD
applications. However, the burden
associated with those forms is not
reflected in this collection because that
burden is reflected in Office of
Management and Budget sponsored
government-wide information
collections.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Approval is sought for extension of HUD standardized forms which are
used by various HUD competitive grant programs in the grant application
process. The HUD Common Budget Form--(HUD-CB), the Common Budget Form
Worksheet (HUD-CBW), and the HUD Matrix (HUD-M) are used to offer
standardized grant application processes for several HUD programs. The
policy of standardization is in accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Financial Assistance Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-107,
signed November 20, 1999). The HUD 424 Supplement, Survey on Ensuring
Equal Opportunity for Applicants is completed by nonprofit
organizations to provide HUD with an understanding of the population of
applicants for Federal funds.
In addition, the collection references a number of standard forms
from the government wide SF Family of Forms. These forms are used for
all HUD applications. However, the burden associated with those forms
is not reflected in this collection because that burden is reflected in
Office of Management and Budget sponsored government-wide information

In addition, HUD may combine into this collection OMB collection
2501-0032, HUD Form 2880 Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report
which is being separately processed in advance of this publicaiton into
this collection in order to consolidate public input on these forms.
Public notification of the renewal of these forms was made in
December 20, 2017 as part of the Consolidated Competive Grant Paperwork
Reduction Act Notice (FR-6005-N-01, 82 FR 60410, published December 20,
2017).
Members of affected public: Applicants for HUD competitively funded
assistance.
Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of
response, and hours of response: The forms are used by entities when
they apply for grants. As HUD receives roughly 14,000 applications on
an annual basis, we expect that there will be 14,000 respondents who
may be completing these forms. HUD estimates that the hourly rate of
individuals completing the form, at $60.74 per hour.\1\ The total
estimated burden on respondents would thus reach $2,648,264.00 on an
annual basis. This is shown in the following table.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Estimated cost for respondents is calculated from the June
2018 Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics report on
Employer Costs for Employee Compensation determined that the hourly
rate of management, professional and related wages and salaries
averaged $41.71 per hour plus $19.03 per hour for fringe benefits

Estimation of the Cost to the Federal Government: The following
table shows the estimated burden of Federal financial assistance
review. HUD estimates the cost of the maximum burden on HUD staff would
total at most $5,011,267. This estimate assumes that each form would be
reviewed for one hour by a GS 13 step 5 performing a review, and then
by a GS 14 and a GS 15 who will look at summary results on an annual
basis.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Federal staff time is estimated for a GS-13 step 5 hourly
rate at $52.66 per hour (from the Office of Personnel Management and
the table with Washington-Baltimore-Arlington locality pay), plus
16% fringe benefit for a total of $61.08 per hour, as well as 15
minutes each for a GS 14 and a GS 15 based on similar calculations
bringing the blended total to $100.91/hr.
