A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Grant Drawdown Payment Request/
LOCCS/VRS Voice Activated.
    OMB Approval Number: 2577-0166.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Form Numbers: 50080-CFP; 50080-OFND; 50080-SC; 50080-PHTA; 50080-
URP; 50080-FSS; 50080-IHBG; 50080-TIHD.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: On 
April 17, 2017, the Grant Drawdown Payment Request/Voice Response 
System (VRS) was converted to a Business Partner Registration and 
Secure Systems for both the user and the user's Approving Official. The 
Secure Systems supports many HUD applications, one of which is Line of 
Credit Control System (eLOCCS) . The eLOCCS is implementing a Single 
Sign-On solution under Secure Systems, where Grant recipients will be 
recognized and authenticated based on a Secure System ID and will no 
longer separately Sign-in to eLOCCS. Grant recipients use LOCCS system 
to request funds from HUD by signing into Secure Systems, as they 
normally do, and select the Line of Credit Control System (eLOCCS) 
link. Some Grantees (all new or reinstated users who need to access 
eLOCCS) will need to complete the LOCCS HUD-27054E form, have it 
notarized, send the original HUD-27054E LOCCS Access Authorization Form 
(with the original

[[Page 3176]]

signature and notary seal) via U.S. Mail to the Program Office for 
review. The LOCCS system will automatically generate an Access 
Authorization email letting the user know that HUD-27054E has been 
processed, enabling grantees to access their eLOCCS account. The 
information collected on the payment voucher will also be used as an 
internal control measure to ensure the lawful and appropriate 
disbursement of Federal funds as well as provide a service to program 
recipients.
    Below is a link where the HUD-27054E LOCCS Authorized Form can be 
accessed: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=27054E.pdf.
    Respondents: PHAs, state or local government. Tribes and tribally 
designated housing entities.
