organization, or your organization’s
clients. If you are able, please identify
the name of the form, the form number,
or provide a link to where the form is
hosted.
When providing comments, please
indicate the specific question number to
which you are responding.
1. How can HUD reduce its public
program administrative burden across
HUD’s public benefits programs?
Specifically, is there information
currently being collected by HUD or
HUD program administrators (e.g.,
Public Housing Authorities, State and
local governments, non-profit recipients
of CDBG programs, Multifamily Housing
owners, FHA lenders) that have no
apparent use or benefit or can be
streamlined? Additional prompts
commenters’ may wish to consider
when developing their response to this
question:
a. Are there eligibility requirements or
questions on a form for a specific benefit
or program that are particularly difficult
to understand, respond to effectively,
demonstrate initial compliance with, or
maintain compliance with?
b. Does the form include
documentation requirements that could
be made simpler, less frequent, or more
helpful or flexible to meet the ability of
respondents to gather the
documentation?
c. Does completing the form involve
multiple touchpoints with either agency
or third-party personnel, such as
through calls to help lines, in-person
visits or consultations, or solicitation of
help from other non-profit, legal aid,
private legal counsel, or social service
agencies?
d. Are there significant discrepancies
in how certain forms are implemented
across States, localities, housing
authorities, or other HUD program
administrators responsible for collecting
this information? Could HUD provide
more standardized or template form or
web application tools to reduce the need
for non-Federal program administrators
to develop their own forms or web
applications?
e. Are there specific challenges that
persons with physical, speech, other
communication-related, or other
disabilities face in these processes that
HUD should further address? What
strategies or tools might succeed in
reducing burden for these groups?
f. Are there specific challenges that
persons with limited English
proficiency (LEP) face in these processes
that HUD should further address? What
strategies or tools might succeed in
reducing burden for these groups?
g. What specific challenges or barriers
are experienced by other vulnerable
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
sub-populations that may prevent
individuals and entities from accessing
benefits for which they are eligible?
What strategies or tools might succeed
in reducing burden for these groups?
2. Are there data currently collected
by HUD or HUD program administrators
that could be shared with other agencies
or program administrators to reduce the
information collection burden of those
programs? Are there data currently
collected by other programs or agencies
that if shared with HUD or HUD’s
program administrators could reduce
the information collection burden of
HUD’s programs? When responding,
please be specific about HUD and other
agency programs, including the form(s)
used by HUD or the other agency and
the specific data collected that could be
leveraged.
3. Are there data collected by HUD
that are not currently aggregated and
shared publicly that should be
aggregated and shared publicly to
increase the value of those data being
collected? Please be specific about
which data, the form number on which
it is collected, and how HUD might
aggregate the data to be useful for the
public.
4. How can HUD use artificial
intelligence, machine learning, or other
advanced data science tools to
automate, augment, or otherwise
streamline its various information
collections and the processes they
support? Please identify which
collections or processes could be
improved using these tools; how
advanced data science tools could help
to complete these forms or processes
more quickly and without sacrificing
accuracy or security or perpetuating bias
against certain populations; and any
estimated time or cost savings that
could result from these improvements.
Potential responses could include but
are not limited to processes related to
development approval, processing of
multifamily mortgage insurance
applications, and reviews of
applications submitted in response to
notices of funding opportunities.
5. Please provide any other input
relating to how HUD can better
understand, identify, and reduce the
public program administrative burden
associated with HUD’s public benefits
programs, including how HUD might
better use technology to support data
collection and data sharing.

General Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office
of Policy Development and Research.

Each of the appropriations acts cited
in the Table of Contents authorize the
Secretary to waive, or specify alternative
requirements for, any provision of any
statute or regulation that the Secretary
administers in connection with the
obligation by the Secretary, or use by
the recipient, of grant funds, except for
requirements related to fair housing,
nondiscrimination, labor standards, and
the environment. HUD may also
exercise its regulatory waiver authority
under 24 CFR 5.110, 91.600, and 570.5.
The waivers and alternative
requirements in this notice are designed
to create expediency for CDBG–DR and
CDBG–MIT grantees related to
extending expenditure deadlines.
Allowing grantees the flexibility to
receive extensions administratively will
continue to support a swift recovery
following eligible disasters, while
ensuring that grantees have enough time
to complete projects and that statutory
requirements are met. Additionally,
these waivers and alternative
requirements are consistent with the in
2 CFR part 200 that Federal awards
include a period of performance and a
budget period. Based on these reasons,
the Department has determined that
good cause exists for the waiver and
alternative requirement authorized in
this notice, and that the waivers or
alternative requirements are not
