A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: HUD
Environmental Review Online System
(HEROS).
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0202.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: 24 CFR
part 58, ‘‘Environmental Review
Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD
Environmental Responsibilities’’
requires units of general local
government receiving HUD assistance to
maintain a written environmental
review record for all projects receiving
HUD funding documenting compliance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), the regulations of the
Council on Environmental Quality,
related federal environmental laws,
executive orders, and authorities, and
Part 58 procedure. Various laws that
authorize this procedure are listed in 24
CFR 58.1(b). 24 CFR part 50, ‘‘Protection
and Enhancement of Environmental
Quality,’’ implements procedures for
HUD to perform environmental reviews
for projects where Part 58 is not
permitted by law. Under Part 50, HUD
staff complete the environmental review
records, but they may use any
information supplied by an applicant or
contractor, provided HUD
independently evaluates the
information and is responsible for its
accuracy and prepares the
environmental finding. HEROS allows
users to complete, store, and submit
their environmental review records and
documents online. HEROS is currently
optional for Responsible Entity and
other non-HUD users, who may
continue to use paper-based
environmental review formats.
Respondents (i.e. affected public): The
respondents are state, local, and tribal
governments receiving HUD funding
who are required to complete
environmental reviews.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
500 units of local, state, and tribal
government.

minutes to 4 hours, depending on level
of review.

Housing Opportunities for Persons With

Submission, Recordkeeping, and
Reporting.

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0133.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: HUD–40110–B, HUD–
40110–C, HUD–40110–D, SF–424, SF–
LLL, and HUD–2991.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
The current Paperwork Reduction Act
approval under OMB Control No. 2506–
0133 covers reporting, recording
keeping, and application requirements
for both the HOPWA formula and
competitive grant programs. This
revision applies to reporting
requirements for all HOPWA grantees.
For annual reporting, HOPWA
grantees complete reporting forms by
providing information on activities
undertaken, number of clients served,
funds expended, and accomplishments
achieved. This information supports
program evaluation and the ability to
measure program beneficiary outcomes
related to: maintaining housing stability;
preventing homelessness; and
improving access to care and support.
Grantees are required to report on the
activities undertaken only, thus there
may be components of these reporting
requirements that may not be applicable
to every grantee.
The data elements in this submission
represent the new annual reporting
requirements for both HOPWA formula
and competitive grantees, and represent
a consolidation of the data elements in
HUD–40110–C and HUD–40110–D.
Compared to the HUD–40110–C and
HUD–40110–D, the data elements in
this submission represent data
additions, deletions, and modifications
that further clarify reporting
requirements. The addition of new data
elements will allow OHH to better
respond to data calls from Congress and
to make better programmatic decisions
based on more relevant grantee annual
data.
HUD systematically reviews and
conducts data analysis in order to
prepare national and individual grantee
performance profiles that are not only
used to measure program performance
against benchmark goals and objectives,
but also to communicate the program’s
achievement and contributions towards
