A. 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.

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.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: On

billion in additional FY2020 funding for HUD to prevent, prepare for,

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.
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
