Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD is
required by 2 CFR 200.204 to publicly
announce the availability of
discretionary awards that are competed.
To ensure grants and cooperative
agreements are awarded to applicants
best suited to perform the functions of
the awards, applicants are generally
E:\FR\FM\06OCN1.SGM
06OCN1
69648
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 193 / Friday, October 6, 2023 / Notices
required to perform two pre-award
steps, the submission of the application
and the negotiation of the individual
award terms. The first part of HUD’s
funding applications consists of
submitting the Standard Form 424 (SF–
424), ‘‘Application for Federal
Assistance’’ along with mandatory and
optional standard government-wide and
HUD forms. 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.
After the applicants have been
selected as part of an objective
competition process, HUD usually
requires negotiation between HUD and
the selected applicant to determine the
terms of the award. A technical proposal
(or technical submission) is required
during the negotiation process. The
technical proposal demonstrates the
selected applicant’s capabilities in
accordance with the application or
statement of work submitted with the
application and/or selection criteria and
other related information as specified in
the funding announcement.
The provisions of 2 CFR 200.207
instruct Federal agencies to comply
with the requirements of 5 CFR part
1320, ‘‘Controlling Paperwork Burdens
on the Public,’’ with regard to all forms
or collection of additional information
used by HUD in place of or as a
supplement to the SF–424 series.
Respondents: Applicants for HUD’s
competitively funded financial
assistance programs.

specific requirements and rating factors
(narrative and other attachments)
Estimated Number of Respondents:
HUD bases the following estimates on
historical experience. HUD’s average of
45 funding announcements per fiscal
year will fall under this generic request,
plus an expected average of 10 NOFOs
derived from supplemental funding
enacted outside of the regular
appropriations process. Additionally,
the Department projects that it will
receive approximately 30,000
applications annually.
Frequency of Response: Refer to Table
1.
Responses per Annum: Refer to Table
1.
Average Burden Hours per Response:
HUD estimates it takes an average of 40
working hours to prepare and submit an
application in grants.gov in response to
a funding announcement. For
applications submitted through
esnaps.gov, HUD estimates it takes an
average of 100 working hours, including
completing the registration in
esnaps.hud.gov, preparing and
submitting an application and technical
submission, and proper storage of
records.
Total Estimated Burdens: For
purposes of this information collection
request, the HUD has used the average
hourly earnings of a Project
Management Specialist ($48.85 per
hour) to monetize the value of
respondent time. Therefore, the burden
for these reporting activities is as
follows using average response times:
30,000 applications * 140 hours * 1.2
frequency = 5,040,000 hours
5,040,000 hours * $48.85 =
$246,204,000

HUD bases the following estimates on
historical experience. HUD estimates it
takes an average of 30 working hours for
HUD to complete its pre-award
activities associated with competitive
applications, including parts 1 and 2 of
the pre-award process. This includes
activities related to proper storage of
related records. For purposes of this
information collection request, HUD has
used a GS 13 step 5 rate ($51.25 per

Applicant, city, state
Species
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 for
endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50
CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State,
Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD
is required by 2 CFR 200.204 to publicly announce the availability of
discretionary awards that are competed. To ensure grants and
cooperative agreements are awarded to applicants best suited to perform
the functions of the awards, applicants are generally
[[Page 69648]]
required to perform two pre-award steps, the submission of the
application and the negotiation of the individual award terms. The
first part of HUD's funding applications consists of submitting the
Standard Form 424 (SF-424), ``Application for Federal Assistance''
along with mandatory and optional standard government-wide and HUD
forms. 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.
After the applicants have been selected as part of an objective
competition process, HUD usually requires negotiation between HUD and
the selected applicant to determine the terms of the award. A technical
proposal (or technical submission) is required during the negotiation
process. The technical proposal demonstrates the selected applicant's
capabilities in accordance with the application or statement of work
submitted with the application and/or selection criteria and other
related information as specified in the funding announcement.
The provisions of 2 CFR 200.207 instruct Federal agencies to comply
with the requirements of 5 CFR part 1320, ``Controlling Paperwork
Burdens on the Public,'' with regard to all forms or collection of
additional information used by HUD in place of or as a supplement to
the SF-424 series.
Respondents: Applicants for HUD's competitively funded financial
assistance programs.

Average Burden Hours per Response: HUD estimates it takes an
average of 40 working hours to prepare and submit an application in
grants.gov in response to a funding announcement. For applications
submitted through esnaps.gov, HUD estimates it takes an average of 100
working hours, including completing the registration in esnaps.hud.gov,
preparing and submitting an application and technical submission, and
proper storage of records.
Total Estimated Burdens: For purposes of this information
collection request, the HUD has used the average hourly earnings of a
Project Management Specialist ($48.85 per hour) to monetize the value
of respondent time. Therefore, the burden for these reporting
activities is as follows using average response times:
30,000 applications * 140 hours * 1.2 frequency = 5,040,000 hours
5,040,000 hours * $48.85 = $246,204,000

HUD bases the following estimates on historical experience. HUD
estimates it takes an average of 30 working hours for HUD to complete
its pre-award activities associated with competitive applications,
including parts 1 and 2 of the pre-award process. This includes
activities related to proper storage of related records. For purposes
of this information collection request, HUD has used a GS 13 step 5
rate ($51.25 per hour) to monetize the value of HUD time. Therefore,
the burden for pre-award activities is as follows using average
response times:
30,000 applications * 30 hours * 1.2 frequency = 1,080,000 hours
1,080,000 hours * $51.25 = $55,350,000
If the Department incurs any unique start-up or operational and
maintenance costs with the collection of information covered by this
ICR, HUD will include them on the request to OMB.
