SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department will submit the proposed 

information collection to OMB for 

review, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35, as amended). This Notice is 

soliciting comments from members of 

the public and affected agencies 

concerning the proposed collection of 

information to: (1) Evaluate 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) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (3) enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) 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. 

This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: HOPE VI program. 

OMB Control Number: 2577–0208. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: Section 

24 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as 

added by section 535 of the Quality 

Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 

1998 (Pub. L. 105–276, 112 Stat. 2461, 

approved October 21, 1998) and revised 

by the HOPE VI Program 

Reauthorization and Small Community 

Main Street Rejuvenation and Housing 

Act of 2003 (Public. L. 108–186, 117 

Stat. 2685, approved December 16, 

2003), establishes the HOPE VI program 

for the purpose of making assistance 

available on a competitive basis to 

public housing agencies (PHAs) in 

improving the living environment for 

public housing residents of severely 

distressed public housing projects 

through the demolition, rehabilitation, 

reconfiguration, or replacement of 

severely distressed public housing 

projects (or portions thereof); in 

revitalizing areas in which public 

housing sites are located, and 

contributing to the improvement of the 

surrounding community; in providing 

housing that avoids or decreases the 

concentration of very low-income 

families; and in building sustainable 

communities. In addition, the HOPE VI 

Program Reauthorization and Small 

Community Main Street Rejuvenation 

and Housing Act of 2003 added to the 

HOPE VI program the purpose of 

making assistance available on a 

competitive basis to small units of local 

government to develop affordable 

housing as part of Main Street 

rejuvenation projects. The program 

authorization was renewed by the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–117, approved December 

16, 2009), which extends the program 

until September 30, 2011. Under this 

requirement, the Department only has a 

few months to award and obligate the 

2011 funds or they will be returned to 

the Treasury. 

These information collections are 

required in connection with the annual 

publication in the Federal Register of 

Notices of Funding Availability 

(NOFAs), contingent upon available 

funding and authorization, which 

announce the availability of funds 

provided in annual appropriations for 

HOPE VI Revitalization, Demolition 

grants, and HOPE VI Main Street grants. 

Eligible public housing agencies 

(PHAs) (for HOPE VI Revitalization and 

Demolition) and eligible local units of 

government (for HOPE VI Main Street) 

interested in obtaining HOPE VI grants 

are required to submit applications to 

HUD, as explained in each program 

NOFA. The information collection 

conducted in the applications enables 

HUD to conduct a comprehensive, 

merit-based selection process in order to 

identify and select the applications to 

receive funding. With the use of HUDprescribed forms, the information 

collection provides HUD with sufficient 

information to approve or disapprove 

applications. 

Applicants that are awarded HOPE VI 

grants are required to report on a 

quarterly basis on the sources and uses 

of all amounts expended for 

revitalization, demolition, or Main 

Street activities. HOPE VI Revitalization 

grantees use a fully-automated, Internetbased process for the submission of 

quarterly reporting information. HUD 

reviews and evaluates the collected 

information and uses it as a primary tool 

with which to monitor the status of 

HOPE VI Revitalization projects and the 

HOPE VI Revitalization program.

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: 

For HOPE VI Revitalization 

Application: 30 respondents, once 

annually, 195.5 hours average per 

response results in a total annual 

reporting burden of 5,865.0 hours. 

For HOPE VI Demolition 

Applications: 34 respondents, once 

annually, 40.25 hours average per 

response results in a total annual 

reporting burden of 1,368.50 hours. 

For HOPE VI Main Street 

Applications: 15 respondents, once 

annually, 48.67 hours average per 

response results in a total annual 

reporting burden of 675.0 hours. 

For HOPE VI Revitalization Quarterly 

Reporting: 207 respondents, 4 times 

annually, 20 hours average per response 

results in a total annual reporting 

burden of 16,560 hours. 

Grand total: These information 

collections, along with other Non-NOFA 

information collection items required in 

connection with the HOPE VI program 

including budget updates, supportive 

services and relocation plans, and cost 

certificates result in an annual total 

reporting burden of 26,515.5 hours. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Extension of a Currently 

Approved Collection. 

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 

as amended.
