SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This Notice ALSO LISTS the Following Information

    Title of Proposal: Natural Experiments Grant Program.
    Description of Information Collection: To select grantees during 
the application process and to monitor all grantee's performance.
    OMB Control Number: Pending.
    Agency Form Numbers: 424-cb, 2880, SF-424, SF-424supp, SF-LLL.
    Members of Affected Public: Private Sector.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
responses, and hours of response:
    (1) Pre-Award
    HUD estimates that each applicant spends approximately 42 person-
hours to complete an application. Almost all of this time is invested 
by a professor or other senior administrator who would oversee the 
program. HUD estimates the mean hourly rate at $30. For 20 
applications, the computation is as follows: 20 applications x 42 hours 
x $30 per hours = $25,200.
    (2) Post-Award
    HUD estimates that each grantee will spend approximately 6 hours a 
year maintaining records.
    HUD also estimates that each grantee will spend approximately 4 
hours a year preparing monitoring reports. Clerical staff and faculty/
supervisory staff will share this burden. HUD estimates the applicable 
hourly rate at $15. The computation is as follow: 5 grantees x 10 hours 
x $15 an hour = $750.
