Additional OMB control numbers
applicable to government wide

this collection. As the burden is

form.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
Approval is sought for revision of the
Information Collection Request of HUD
standardized forms which are used by
various HUD programs that use a
competitive application process to
award financial assistance. The HUD
Common Budget Form—(HUD 424–CB),
the Common Budget Form Worksheet
(HUD 424–CBW), the Assurances and
Certifications Form—(HUD 424–B), and
the HUD Matrix (HUD–M) are used to
offer standardized application forms.
The Federal Financial Assistance
Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106–
107, signed November 20, 1999)
encourages standardization.
In addition, as noted under the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
Control Number heading, the collection
references a number of governmentwide forms, including forms from the
Standard Form (SF) Family, which are
used for all HUD applications and
available on grants.gov. The burden
associated with these government-wide
forms are reflected in separate OMBsponsored government-wide
information collections and are not
reflected in this collection.
Further, HUD combined into this
collection form HUD 2880 Applicant/
Recipient Disclosure/Update Report
(formerly approved under OMB control
number 2501–0032) to consolidate
public input and burden into one OMB
control number. The form HUD 2880 is
also updated to reflect changes to the
information respondents report in the
Employee ID field under Part III of the
form. For each person reported in Part
III, HUD expects applicants to provide
a unique ID that is not the person’s
social security number. Lastly, the
E:\FR\FM\08AUN1.SGM
08AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 151 / Monday, August 8, 2022 / Notices
updated form HUD 2880 includes
updates to the certification language,
which now reads as follows:
I/We, the undersigned, certify under
penalty of perjury that the information
provided above is true, correct, and accurate.
Warning: If you knowingly make a false
statement on this form, you may be subject
to criminal and/or civil penalties under 18
U.S.C. 1001. In addition, any person who
knowingly and materially violates any
required disclosures of information,
including intentional non-disclosure, is
subject to civil money penalty not to exceed
$10,000 for each violation.
All HUD-specific forms in this
information collection have been
modified to include updated Paperwork
Reduction Act burden statements, in
order to comply with 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3). The burden statements
now reads as follows:
The public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to
average [X] hours per response, including the
time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering, and
maintaining the data needed, and completing
and reviewing the collection of the requested
information. Comments regarding the
accuracy of this burden estimate and any
suggestions for reducing this burden can be
sent to the Reports Management Officer,
QDAM, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 7th St SW, Room 4176,
Washington, DC 20410–5000. Do not send
completed forms to this address. This agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless the collection displays a
valid OMB control number. The information
you provide will enable HUD to carry out its
responsibilities under this Act and ensure
greater accountability and integrity in the
provision of certain types of assistance
administered by HUD. This information is
required to obtain the benefit sought in the
HUD program. Failure to provide any
required information may delay the
processing of your application and may
result in sanctions and penalties including of
the administrative and civil money penalties
specified under 24 CFR 4.38. This
information will not be held confidential and
may be made available to the public in
accordance with the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552).
Members of affected public:
Applicants for HUD’s competitively
funded financial assistance programs.

Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The forms referenced
in this Notice are used by entities when
they apply for financial assistance for
HUD’s competitive programs. HUD
receives roughly 14,375 applications on
an annual basis, HUD expects 14,375
respondents who may complete the
major forms. However, respondents
have the option to complete one of
several budget forms (SF 424–A, HUD
424–CB, HUD–424CBW, or HUD 424–
M), depending on the requirements
associated with the financial assistance
program. HUD estimates an hourly rate
of $65.15 per hour 1 for individuals
completing the form. The total
estimated burden on respondents would
thus reach $2,902,432.50 on an annual
basis. This is shown in Estimated
Burden on Respondents Table 1 below.
The actual burden is assessed by each
HUD program.

Estimation of the Cost to the Federal
government: The following table shows
the estimated burden of Federal
financial assistance review. HUD
estimates the cost of the maximum
burden on HUD staff would total at most
$3,989,793.60 for the HUD-specific
forms, and $12,749,436.60 for all forms
in Table 1. These estimates assume that
each form would be reviewed for one
hour by a GS–13 step 5 performing a
review, and then by a GS–14 and a GS–
15 who will look at summary results on
an annual basis.2
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
1 Estimated cost for respondents is calculated
from the March 2022 Department of Labor Bureau
of Labor Statistics report on Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation determined that the
hourly rate of management, professional and related
wages and salaries averaged $44.28 per hour plus
$20.87 per hour for fringe benefits for a total $65.15
per hour.
2 Federal staff time is estimated for a GS–13 step
5 hourly rate at $58.01 per hour (from the Office
of Personnel Management and the table with
Washington-Baltimore-Arlington locality pay), plus

Family, which are used for all HUD applications and available on
grants.gov. The burden associated with these government-wide forms are
reflected in separate OMB-sponsored government-wide information
collections and are not reflected in this collection.
Further, HUD combined into this collection form HUD 2880 Applicant/
Recipient Disclosure/Update Report (formerly approved under OMB control
number 2501-0032) to consolidate public input and burden into one OMB
control number. The form HUD 2880 is also updated to reflect changes to
the information respondents report in the Employee ID field under Part
III of the form. For each person reported in Part III, HUD expects
applicants to provide a unique ID that is not the person's social
security number. Lastly, the
[[Page 48195]]
updated form HUD 2880 includes updates to the certification language,
which now reads as follows:
I/We, the undersigned, certify under penalty of perjury that the
information provided above is true, correct, and accurate. Warning:
If you knowingly make a false statement on this form, you may be
subject to criminal and/or civil penalties under 18 U.S.C. 1001. In
addition, any person who knowingly and materially violates any
required disclosures of information, including intentional non-
disclosure, is subject to civil money penalty not to exceed $10,000
for each violation.
All HUD-specific forms in this information collection have been
modified to include updated Paperwork Reduction Act burden statements,
in order to comply with 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3). The burden statements now
reads as follows:
The public reporting burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average [X] hours per response, including the time
for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering, and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of the requested information. Comments
regarding the accuracy of this burden estimate and any suggestions
for reducing this burden can be sent to the Reports Management
Officer, QDAM, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th
St SW, Room 4176, Washington, DC 20410-5000. Do not send completed
forms to this address. This agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless the collection displays a valid OMB control number. The
information you provide will enable HUD to carry out its
responsibilities under this Act and ensure greater accountability
and integrity in the provision of certain types of assistance
administered by HUD. This information is required to obtain the
benefit sought in the HUD program. Failure to provide any required
information may delay the processing of your application and may
result in sanctions and penalties including of the administrative
and civil money penalties specified under 24 CFR 4.38. This
information will not be held confidential and may be made available
to the public in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552).
Members of affected public: Applicants for HUD's competitively
funded financial assistance programs.
Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of
response, and hours of response: The forms referenced in this Notice
are used by entities when they apply for financial assistance for HUD's
competitive programs. HUD receives roughly 14,375 applications on an
annual basis, HUD expects 14,375 respondents who may complete the major
forms. However, respondents have the option to complete one of several
budget forms (SF 424-A, HUD 424-CB, HUD-424CBW, or HUD 424-M),
depending on the requirements associated with the financial assistance
program. HUD estimates an hourly rate of $65.15 per hour \1\ for
individuals completing the form. The total estimated burden on
respondents would thus reach $2,902,432.50 on an annual basis. This is
shown in Estimated Burden on Respondents Table 1 below. The actual
burden is assessed by each HUD program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Estimated cost for respondents is calculated from the March
2022 Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics report on
Employer Costs for Employee Compensation determined that the hourly
rate of management, professional and related wages and salaries
averaged $44.28 per hour plus $20.87 per hour for fringe benefits
for a total $65.15 per hour.

Estimation of the Cost to the Federal government: The following
table shows the estimated burden of Federal financial assistance
review. HUD estimates the cost of the maximum burden on HUD staff would
total at most $3,989,793.60 for the HUD-specific forms, and
$12,749,436.60 for all forms in Table 1. These estimates assume that
each form would be reviewed for one hour by a GS-13 step 5 performing a
review, and then by a GS-14 and a GS-15 who will look at summary
results on an annual basis.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Federal staff time is estimated for a GS-13 step 5 hourly
rate at $58.01 per hour (from the Office of Personnel Management and
the table with Washington-Baltimore-Arlington locality pay), plus
16% fringe benefit for a total of $67.29 per hour, as well as 15
minutes each for a GS-14 step 5 at $72.19/hour and a GS-15 step 5 at
$84.91/hour, based on similar calculations bringing the blended
total to $106.57/hour for each form submitted.
