ADDRESSES:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Continuum of Care Program Homeless
Assistance Application—Technical
Submission.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0183.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD–40090–3a.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: This
submission is to request an extension of
a currently approved collection for
reporting burden associated with the
Technical Submission phase of the
Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
Application. This submission is limited
to the Technical Submission process
under the CoC Program interim rule, as
authorized by the HEARTH Act.
Applicants who are successful in the
CoC Program Competition are required
to submit more detailed technical
information before grant agreement. The
information to be collected will be used
to ensure that technical requirements
are met prior to the execution of a grant
agreement. The technical requirements
relate to a more extensive description of
the budgets for administration costs,
timelines for project implementation,
match documentation and other project
specific documentation, and
information to support the resolution of
grant conditions. HUD will use this
detailed information to determine if a
project is financially feasible and
whether all proposed activities are
eligible. All information collected is
used to carefully consider conditional
applicants for funding. If HUD collects
less information, or collected it less
frequently, the Department could not
make a final determination concerning
the eligibility of applicants for grant
funds and conditional applicants would
not be eligible to sign grant agreements
and receive funding. To see the
regulations for the CoC Program and
applicable supplementary documents,
visit HUD’s Homeless Resource
Exchange page at https://
www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/.
The statutory provisions and the
implementing interim rule (also found
at 24 CFR part 587) that govern the
program require the information
provided by the Technical Submission.

Abstract: The U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) manages eight Department of
the Interior (DOI) Regional Climate
Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs).
Each CASC involves a cooperative
agreement with a host institution. The
host institution agreements are
periodically re-competed, requiring
collection of information from potential
host institutions. In addition, this
information collection addresses
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
333
quarterly and annual reporting required
of host institutions.
Title of Collection: Department of the
Interior Regional Climate Adaptation
Science Centers.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0096.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Institutions that are expected to propose
to serve as CASC host or partner
institutions include state, local
government, and tribal entities,
including academic institutions.
Existing host institutions are state
academic institutions.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: USGS expects to request
proposals for a maximum of three
CASCs in any year, and to receive an
average of 5 proposals per CASCrequest, for a total of 15 proposals in
any single year. The USGS expects to
enter into hosting agreements with a
minimum of eight CASC host
institutions.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: The USGS would request
quarterly financial statements and
annual progress reports covering host
agreements from eight institutions. In
addition, the USGS expects to have in
place approximately 40 cooperative
agreements per year addressing specific
research projects funded under these
hosting agreements. Each of these 40
agreements requires quarterly financial
statements and one annual progress
report.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Each proposal for CASC
hosting is expected to take 200 hours to
complete. The time required to
complete quarterly and annual reports
for any specific host cooperative
agreement or research project agreement
is expected to total 2.5 hours per report.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: A maximum of 3,120
hours in years when proposals are
requested, and 120 hours in those years
with only quarterly and annual
reporting.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain a Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: Information
will be collected one time every five
years (approximately) for each CASC, to
enable re-competition of CASC hosting
agreements. In addition, host
institutions are required to fill four
quarterly financial statements and one
annual progress report.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: There are no ‘‘non-hour
cost’’ burdens associated with this
collection of information.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Continuum of Care Program Homeless
Assistance Application--Technical Submission.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0183.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-40090-3a.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
submission is to request an extension of a currently approved
collection for reporting burden associated with the Technical
Submission phase of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Application.
This submission is limited to the Technical Submission process under
the CoC Program interim rule, as authorized by the HEARTH Act.
Applicants who are successful in the CoC Program Competition are
required to submit more detailed technical information before grant
agreement. The information to be collected will be used to ensure that
technical requirements are met prior to the execution of a grant
agreement. The technical requirements relate to a more extensive
description of the budgets for administration costs, timelines for
project implementation, match documentation and other project specific
documentation, and information to support the resolution of grant
conditions. HUD will use this detailed information to determine if a
project is financially feasible and whether all proposed activities are
eligible. All information collected is used to carefully consider
conditional applicants for funding. If HUD collects less information,
or collected it less frequently, the Department could not make a final
determination concerning the eligibility of applicants for grant funds
and conditional applicants would not be eligible to sign grant
agreements and receive funding. To see the regulations for the CoC
Program and applicable supplementary documents, visit HUD's Homeless
Resource Exchange page at https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/.
The statutory provisions and the implementing interim rule (also found
at 24 CFR part 587) that govern the program require the information
provided by the Technical Submission.
