SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Homeowner Assistance Fund. OMB Control Number: 1505–0269. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Description: On March 11, 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the ‘‘Act’’), Public Law 117–2. Title III, subtitle B, section 3206 of the Act established the Homeowner Assistance Fund and provides $9.961 billion for the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to make payments to States (defined to include the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa), Indian tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities, as applicable, and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (collectively the ‘‘eligible entities’’) to mitigate financial hardships associated with the coronavirus pandemic, including for the purposes of preventing homeowner mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, loss of utilities or home energy services, and displacements of homeowners experiencing financial hardship after January 21, 2020, through qualified expenses related to mortgages and housing. Treasury will collect a Quarterly Report at the end of each calendar year quarter for eligible entities that are a State or Tribal Government with a HAF allocation greater than $5 million. The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and Tribal Governments with a HAF allocation less than $5 million will be required to submit a similar report once a year. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:14 Mar 29, 2022 Jkt 256001 HAF participants will submit quarterly certifications and reports, including, among other things, details on program budget; HAF Homeowner applications approved; targeting metrics around Homeowners assisted; individual program information; and individual program design element information. Additionally, Treasury will collect from each eligible participant an Annual Report once a year that will provide Treasury with high-level information on how the HAF participant is performing relative to their forecasted goals noted in their HAF Grantee Plan. Treasury is requesting emergency processing to add compliance reporting (i.e., Quarterly Report and Annual Report) this collection of information as provided under 5 CFR 1320.13. Treasury cannot reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures because Treasury will need to provide the Guidance on Participant Compliance and Reporting Responsibilities to HAF participants along with the Portal launch date and provide a high degree of certainty that it will not change, so that recipients can gather the necessary information and build their own tools/ processes to comply. Additionally, delays due to insufficient guidance will more than likely impact established timelines for HAF participants to report on current quarter compliance and delay future quarter compliance. Delays in quarterly reporting will reduce Treasury’s insight on current HAF participant compliance issues. Form: Quarterly Compliance Reports.

Summary of Provisions in Section 2 of the Act • Section 2(a) requires that VA, not later than February 21, 2022, commence the conduct of a pilot program to provide canine training to eligible veterans diagnosed with PTSD as an element of a complementary and integrative health program for such veterans. • Section 2(b) requires that the pilot program conducted under subsection (a) be carried out for a 5-year period beginning on the date of the commencement of the pilot program, by not fewer than 5 VA medical centers (VAMC) located in geographically diverse areas. • Section 2(c) requires that, in carrying out the pilot program required under subsection (a), VA must seek to enter into agreements with nongovernmental entities that VA determines have the demonstrated ability to provide the canine training specified in subsection (a). • Section 2(d) establishes certain conditions for inclusion in any agreements under subsection (c). • Section 2(e) establishes that a veteran who has participated in the pilot program under subsection (a) may adopt a dog that the veteran assisted in training during the pilot program if the veteran and the veteran’s health provider, in consultation with the entity that provided the canine training with respect to that dog under the pilot program, determine that it is in the best interest of the veteran. This section also includes language regarding the responsibility of the entity that provided the canine training under the pilot program to provide follow-up training support for the life of the dog, if the veteran who participated in the pilot program adopts the dog under this subsection. • Section 2(f) establishes that participation in the pilot program under subsection (a) may not preclude a PO 00000 Frm 00132 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 18481 veteran from receiving any other medical care or treatment for PTSD furnished by VA for which the veteran is otherwise eligible. • Section 2(g) establishes data collection requirements based on veterans’ participation in the pilot program and such other factors as VA determines appropriate. • Section 2(h) establishes VA’s reporting requirements associated with the pilot program. • Section 2(i) requires the Comptroller General to brief and report to Congress on the methodology of the pilot program. • Section 2(j) establishes definitions, for purposes of section 2, for the following terms: Accredited service dog organization (SDO), eligible veteran and service dog training instructor. Implementation of the Pilot Program VA’s implementation of the pilot program will reflect the following considerations: Canine Training Section 2(a) provides that VA must conduct a pilot program to provide canine training to eligible veterans diagnosed with PTSD as an element of a complementary and integrative health program for such veterans. The term canine training is not defined in the Act, and VA has not otherwise defined this term. However, the term canine training is characterized in the Act as ‘‘an element of a complementary and integrative health program’’ for veterans participating in the pilot program. The Act similarly does not contain a definition of the term complementary and integrative health (CIH); however, VA’s internal policy defines CIH as a group of diverse medical and health care approaches and practices that are not considered to be part of conventional or allopathic medicine. See Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Directive 1137(2), Provision of Complementary and Integrative Health (May 18, 2017; amended July 2, 2021). Based on its experience, VA has distinguished the following two types of CIH: Treatment services and well-being services. Unlike treatment services, well-being services are often practices offered outside of a clinical setting and involve a practitioner or instructor teaching veterans to advance their sense of well-being and improve their quality of life. VA is implementing the canine training under the pilot program as an element of CIH well-being services. CIH well-being services are those activities that a veteran may complete without the need for assistance from a health care E:\FR\FM\30MRN1.SGM 30MRN1
