This collection pertains to Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR), Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG–MIT), Community Development Block Grant National Disaster Resilience Competition (CDBG– NDR), Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), Rural Capacity Building (RCB), Section 4, and Recovery Housing Program (RHP) grant funds. The CDBG program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Following major disasters, Congress appropriates supplemental CDBG funds for disaster recovery. According to Section 104(e)(1) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, HUD is responsible for reviewing grantees’ compliance with applicable requirements and their continuing capacity to carry out their programs. Grant funds are made available to states and units of general local government, Indian tribes, and insular areas, unless provided otherwise by supplemental appropriations statute, PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 71351 based on their unmet disaster recovery needs.

The North Carolina units will be reviewed again in 2023 due to ongoing geomorphic change in certain units and the need for additional data. Background on the Coastal Barrier Resources System Coastal barrier ecosystems are located at the interface of land and sea and are subject to continual geomorphic change (e.g., erosion and accretion). Coastal barriers and their associated aquatic habitat (wetlands and open water) provide important habitat for fish and wildlife and serve as the mainland’s first line of defense against the impacts of severe storms. With the passage of CBRA in 1982, Congress recognized that certain actions and programs of the Federal Government have historically subsidized and encouraged development on storm-prone and highly dynamic coastal barriers, and the result has been the loss of natural resources; threats to human life, health, and property; and the expenditure of billions of tax dollars. CBRA established the CBRS, which originally comprised 186 geographic units encompassing approximately 453,000 acres of relatively undeveloped lands and associated aquatic habitat along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. The CBRS was expanded by the Coastal Barrier Improvement Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–591) to include additional areas along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts, as well as areas along the coasts of the Great Lakes, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The CBRS now comprises a total of 870 geographic units, encompassing approximately 3.5 million acres of land and associated aquatic habitat. These areas are depicted on a series of official maps. Most new Federal expenditures and financial assistance are prohibited within the CBRS. Development can still occur within the CBRS, provided that it is not subsidized by the Federal Government. The CBRS includes two types of units, System Units and Otherwise Protected Areas (OPAs). System Units contain E:\FR\FM\22NON1.SGM 22NON1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  This notice informs the public that HUD is 
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in 
Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting 
System (DRGR).
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0165.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Form Number: SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
    The Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) System is a grants 
management system used by the Office of Community Planning and 
Development to monitor special appropriation grants under the Community 
Development Block Grant program. This collection pertains to Community 
Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), Community 
Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT), Community Development 
Block Grant National Disaster Resilience Competition (CDBG-NDR), 
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), Rural Capacity Building 
(RCB), Section 4, and Recovery Housing Program (RHP) grant funds.
    The CDBG program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. Following major 
disasters, Congress appropriates supplemental CDBG funds for disaster 
recovery. According to Section 104(e)(1) of the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1974, HUD is responsible for reviewing grantees' 
compliance with applicable requirements and their continuing capacity 
to carry out their programs. Grant funds are made available to states 
and units of general local government, Indian tribes, and insular 
areas, unless provided otherwise by supplemental appropriations 
statute, based on their unmet disaster recovery needs.
    The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was established for 
the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from 
foreclosures and property abandonment. Authorized under Section 1497 of 
the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 
111-203, approved July 21, 2010) (``NSP3''), NSP3 Technical Assistance 
(TA) provides $20 million to organizations that are experienced and 
successful in providing program, technical, planning, financial, and 
organizational capacity building assistance, or consulting in such 
areas as community development, affordable housing, organizational 
management, financing and underwriting, construction and rehabilitation 
management, land banking, project management and strategic planning.
    Through the funding of national organizations with expertise in 
rural housing and community development, the Rural Capacity Building 
(RCB) and Section 4 programs enhance the capacity and ability of local 
governments, Indian tribes, housing development organizations, rural 
Community Development Corporations (CDCs), and rural Community Housing 
Development Organizations (CHDOs), to carry out community development 
and affordable housing activities that benefit low-and moderate-income 
families and persons in rural areas.
    The Recovery Housing Program (RHP) was authorized under section 
8071 of the Support for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act. HUD 
published its formula in the Federal Register on April 17, 2019 (84 FR 
16027), identifying the 35 eligible grantees and allocation 
percentages. Section 8071 of the SUPPORT Act (Section 8071) required 
funds appropriated or made available for the RHP be treated as CDBG 
funds under title I of the Housing and Community Act of 1974, unless 
otherwise provided in Section 8071 or modified by waivers and 
alternative requirements.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,378.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 46,150.
    Frequency of Response: Varies.
    Average Hours per Response: Varies.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 59,890.50 hours and cost of $1,861,995.10.
