Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Collection of Required Information for CARES Act Quarterly Reporting. OMB Approval Number: Pending. Type of Request New. Form Number: Forms associated to collections listed below. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: On March 27, 2020, the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ (CARES Act) was signed into law. The CARES Act provided $12.4 billion in additional FY2020 funding for HUD to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID–19, including providing additional resources to meet emerging needs, support existing rental assistance programs, and to support capacity and oversight. The award provides HUD recipients the flexibility to meet evolving COVID–19 needs in their respective communities, including extending operational hours, increasing staffing hours, purchasing additional equipment, enhancing workforce training and capacity development, and providing critical housing services to people during this pandemic. PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requests a clearance of this information collection request to allow for immediate outreach to Large Covered Funds recipients, defined as recipients of CARES Grant amounts over $150,000. This information collection request will enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to collect the quarterly information required to be in compliance with the requirements outlined in section 15011 of the CARES Act. Reporting provisions include that not later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter, each covered recipient shall submit to the agency and the committee a report that contains (A) the total amount of large covered funds received from the agency; (B) the amount of large covered funds received that were expended or obligated for each project or activity; (C) a detailed list of all projects or activities for which large covered funds were expended or obligated, including (i) the name of the project or activity; (ii) a description of the project or activity; and (iii) the estimated number of jobs created or retained by the project or activity. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, and the Chairperson of the Council of Economic Advisors, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and publicly release on the website established under section 15010(g) quarterly reports that detail the impact of programs funded through large covered funds on employment, estimated economic growth, and other key economic indicators, including information about impacted industries. This information will be reported by the grant recipients to the program offices within HUD, then aggregated with the related information already being captured today. This aggregated information will form the required quarterly reporting for CARES Act funds that HUD submits to the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC). For those programs where this would be an increase in the frequency of the information currently reported by moving from annual to quarterly reporting, the actual use of the information currently collected is the quarterly submission file to the PRAC. Respondents (i.e. affected public): The respondents for this information collection request are the HUD program recipients of large covered funds provided by the CARES ACT, as defined in the above section.
