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.
Estimated Number of Responses:
12,200.
Frequency of Response: 25 per year
per unit of government.
Average Hours per Response: 45
minutes to 4 hours, depending on level
of review.
