Note Regarding Federal, State, and
Local Government Agencies (Such as
Departments of Motor Vehicles)
If you are applying for a Federal, state,
or local government benefit, you may
need to provide the government agency
with documents that show you are
covered under DED or authorized to
work based on DED or both. Check with
the government agency requesting
documentation about which documents
the agency will accept.
Some government agencies use SAVE,
https://www.uscis.gov/save, to confirm
the current immigration status of
applicants for public benefits and
licenses. SAVE can verify that an
individual is covered by DED based on
an EAD with category (a)(11) or a Form
I–797, Notice of Action, reflecting
approval of your Form I–765 for an EAD
with a DED category of (a)(11). In most
cases, SAVE provides an automated
electronic response to benefit-granting
agencies within seconds, but
occasionally verification can be delayed.
You can check the status of your
SAVE verification by using CaseCheck
at https://www.uscis.gov/save/savecasecheck. CaseCheck is a free service
that lets you follow the progress of your
SAVE verification case using your date
of birth and one immigration identifier
number (such as your A-Number or
USCIS number) or Verification Case
Number. If an agency has denied your
application based solely or in part on a
SAVE response, the agency must allow
you to appeal the decision in
accordance with the agency’s
procedures. If the agency has received
and acted on or will act on a SAVE
verification, and you do not believe the
SAVE response is correct, the SAVE
website, https://www.uscis.gov/save/forbenefit-applicants, has detailed
information on how to correct or update
your immigration record, make an
appointment, or submit a written
request to correct records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
SUMMARY:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: CDBG
Urban County Qualification/New York
Towns Qualification/Requalification
Process.
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0170.
Type of Request: Extension.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended (the Act), at
sections 102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires
that any county seeking qualification as
an urban county notify each unit of
general local government within the
county that such unit may elect to have
its population excluded from that of the
urban county. Section 102(d) of the Act
specifies that the period of qualification
will be three years. Based on these
statutory provisions, counties seeking
qualification or requalification as urban
counties under the CDBG program must
provide information to HUD every three
years identifying the units of general
local governments (UGLGs) within the
county participating as a part of the
county for purposes of receiving CDBG
funds. The population of UGLGs for
each eligible urban county is used in
HUD’s allocation of CDBG funds for all
entitlement and State CDBG grantees.
New York Towns may qualify as
metropolitan cities if they are able to
secure the participation of all of the
villages located within their boundaries.
Any New York Town that is located in
an urban county may choose to leave
that urban county when that county is
requalifying. A New York Town will be
required to notify the urban county in
advance of its decision to decline
participation in the urban county’s
CDBG program and complete the
metropolitan city qualification process.
Respondents: Urban counties that are
eligible as entitlement grantees of the
CDBG program.
Estimation Number of Respondents:
There are currently 195 qualified urban
counties participating in the CDBG
program that must requalify every three
years.
Estimation Number of Responses: The
proposed frequency of the response to
the collection is on an annual basis.
Frequency of Response: On average,
two new counties qualify each year. The
burden on new counties is greater than
for existing counties that requalify. The
Department estimates new grantees use,
on average, 120 hours to review
instructions, contact communities in the
county, prepare and review agreements,
obtain legal opinions, have agreements
executed at the local and county level,
and prepare and transmit copies of
required documents to HUD. The
Department estimates that counties that
are requalifying use, on average, 67
hours to complete these actions. The
time savings on requalification is
primarily a result of a grantee’s ability
E:\FR\FM\24SEN1.SGM
24SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2024 / Notices
to use agreements with no specified end
date. Use of such ‘‘renewable’’
agreements enables the grantee to
merely notify affected participating
UGLGs in writing that their agreement
will automatically be renewed unless
the UGLG terminates the agreement in
writing, rather than executing a new
agreement every three years.
Average of 2 new urban counties qualify
per year 2 × 120 hrs = 240 hrs.
195 grantees requalify on triennial basis;
average annual number of
respondents = 65 65 × 67 hrs. =
4,355 hrs.
Total combined burden hours: 4,595
hours
This total number of combined
burden hours can be expected to
increase annually by 1,200 hours, given
the average of two new urban counties
becoming eligible entitlement grantees
each year.
B. Solicitation of Public of Public
Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond; including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: CDBG Urban County Qualification/
New York Towns Qualification/Requalification Process.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0170.
Type of Request: Extension.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (the Act), at
sections 102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires that any county seeking
qualification as an urban county notify each unit of general local
government within the county that such unit may elect to have its
population excluded from that of the urban county. Section 102(d) of
the Act specifies that the period of qualification will be three years.
Based on these statutory provisions, counties seeking qualification or

information to HUD every three years identifying the units of general
local governments (UGLGs) within the county participating as a part of
the county for purposes of receiving CDBG funds. The population of
UGLGs for each eligible urban county is used in HUD's allocation of
CDBG funds for all entitlement and State CDBG grantees.
New York Towns may qualify as metropolitan cities if they are able
to secure the participation of all of the villages located within their

choose to leave that urban county when that county is requalifying. A
New York Town will be required to notify the urban county in advance of
its decision to decline participation in the urban county's CDBG

Respondents: Urban counties that are eligible as entitlement
grantees of the CDBG program.
Estimation Number of Respondents: There are currently 195 qualified
urban counties participating in the CDBG program that must requalify

Estimation Number of Responses: The proposed frequency of the
