(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension, Without Change, of a
Currently Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) Mutual Agreement between
Government and Employers (IMAGE)
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security
sponsoring the collection: ICE Form 73–

Enforcement.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions. The
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement Mutual Agreement
between Government and Employers
(IMAGE) program is the outreach and
education component of the Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI) Worksite
Enforcement (WSE) program. IMAGE is
designed to build cooperative
relationships with the private sector to
enhance compliance with immigration
laws and reduce the number of
unauthorized aliens within the
American workforce. Under this
program ICE will partner with
businesses representing a cross-section
of industries. A business will initially
complete and prepare an IMAGE
application so that ICE can properly
evaluate the company for inclusion in
the IMAGE program. The information
provided by the company plays a vital
role in determining its suitability for the
program. While 8 U.S.C. 1324(a) makes
it illegal to knowingly employ a person
who is not in the U.S. legally, there is
no requirement for any entity in the
private sector to participate in the
program and the information obtained
from the company should also be
available to the public.

I.A. Background
The Further Additional Supplemental
Appropriations for Disaster Relief
Requirements Act, 2018 (Division B,
Subdivision 1 of the Bipartisan Budget
Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115–123, approved
February 9, 2018) (the ‘‘Appropriations
Act’’), made available $28 billion in
Community Development Block Grant
disaster recovery (CDBG–DR) funds, and
directed HUD to allocate not less than
$12 billion for mitigation activities
proportional to the amounts that CDBG–
DR grantees received for qualifying
disasters in 2015, 2016, and 2017. A
Federal Register Notice published by
the Department on August 30, 2019 (84
FR 45838), allocated $6.875 billion of
CDBG–MIT funds to 14 state and local
governments and described the grant
requirements and procedures, including
waivers and alternative requirements
applicable to CDBG–MIT funds (‘‘the
CDBG–MIT Notice’’).
The CDBG–MIT Notice recognizes
that CDBG–MIT funds are to be used for
distinctly different purposes than
CDBG–DR funds and that the level of
funding and nature of programs and
projects that are likely to be funded
requires all CDBG–MIT grantees and
their subrecipients to strengthen their
program management capacity, financial
management, and internal controls.
Under the CDBG–MIT Notice, each
grantee is required to strengthen its
internal audit function, specify the
criteria for subrecipient selection,
increase subrecipient monitoring, and
establish a process for promptly
identifying and addressing conflicts
under the grantee’s conflict of interest
policy. The CDBG–MIT Notice also
states the Department’s intent to
establish special grant conditions for
individual CDBG–MIT grants based
upon the risks posed by the grantee,
including risks related to the grantee’s
capacity to carry out the specific
programs and projects proposed in its
action plan. These conditions are
designed to provide additional
assurances that mitigation programs are
implemented in a manner to prevent
waste, fraud, and abuse and that
mitigation projects are effectively
operated and maintained.
The CDBG–MIT Notice acknowledges
the governance and financial
management challenges of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. For all
CDBG–MIT grantees, the CDBG–MIT
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Notice references the Department’s
expectation that grantees will take steps
to set in place substantial governmental
policies and organizational structure to
enhance the impact of HUD-funded
investments. For the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, this goal may be achieved
through reforms in land ownership
records and addressing the occurrence
of informal housing, while enhancing
the safety of the Commonwealth’s
residents. The CDBG–MIT Notice also
notes that it is imperative that all
CDBG–MIT grantees collect and supply
sufficient revenues for future operation
and maintenance costs of programs and
projects funded with this CDBG–MIT
grant. Additionally, prior to 2017, the
Department of Housing of Puerto Rico
(PRDOH), who has been designated as
the entity responsible for administering
the CDBG–DR allocations in response to
Hurricanes Irma and Maria, had not
previously administered CDBG–DR
funds. Because PRDOH does not have
previous experience managing CDBG–
DR funds, HUD has reviewed the
Commonwealth’s Staffing Analysis
Worksheet and determined that PRDOH
must continue to secure staff and
contractors to build its capacity and
knowledge of federal requirements,
including civil rights related program
requirements. These considerations
emerge as particular unmitigated risks
for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
in light of the substantial amount of
CDBG–MIT funding allocated under this
notice and the general fiscal condition
of the Commonwealth.
Accordingly, to further reduce the
specific potential risks associated with
the above challenges, this notice builds
upon the requirements of the CDBG–
MIT Notice and establishes additional
grant conditions to reduce risk and
support the successful implementation
of this CDBG–MIT allocation by the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. These
measures are designed to augment and
support HUD’s continual technical
assistance and monitoring efforts,
undertaken in partnership with the
grantee.
This notice allocates $8.285 billion in
CDBG–MIT funds to the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico for mitigation activities
in accordance with the Appropriations
Act and the CDBG–MIT Notice. The
grantee receiving an allocation of funds
under this notice is subject to the
requirements of the CDBG–MIT Notice,
including waivers and alternative
requirements, and any additional
requirements imposed by this or future
Federal Register notices.
