active address rate)

Divided by 43 months. (the longer the 

vacancy the higher the average 

score) 

R-square: 0.340 

N: 287,190 

To adjust for this greater recovery 

challenge, the results of the analysis 

above are used in the following model 

for 2008: 

Vacancy Risk Score = 

0.010695 (Constant) 

+ 0.347154 Percent of homes in 

Census Tract with serious damage 

+ 0.195913 Home with major-high or 

severe damage 

The risk score is then aggregated for 

each disaster and divided by the total 

number of housing units with more than 

very minor damage. That is, we 

determine a per-damaged home 

recovery challenge risk score. Such a 

risk factor can be a useful tool for 

adjusting grants so that states with a 

higher risk for long-term recovery 

challenges get a somewhat higher grant 

because of this risk.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department is submitting 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). The 

Department submitted to OMB for 

emergency processing a proposed 

information collection for the 

Community Development Block Grant 

Recovery (CDBG–R) program. It was 

approved by OMB on April 17, 2009 

and expires on October 31, 2009. Since 

HUD will be using the form (SF 424) 

beyond the emergency clearance time 

period, this is a resubmission to OMB 

under the normal paperwork clearance 

process for a three-year approval. 

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: Community 

Development Block Grant Recovery 

Program. 

OMB Control Number, if Applicable: 

2506–0184. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: This 

request identifies the estimated 

reporting burden associated with 

information that CDBG–R grantees will 

report in IDIS for CDBG–R assisted 

activities, recordkeeping requirements, 

and reporting requirements. Section 

1512 of the Recovery Act requires that 

not later than 10 days after the end of 

each calendar quarter, each recipient 

that received recovery funds from a 

Federal agency shall submit a report to 

that agency that contains: (1) The total 

amount of recovery funds received from 

that agency; (2) the amount of recovery 

funds received that were expended or 

obligated to projects or activities; and 

(3) a detailed list of all projects or 

activities for which recovery funds were 

expended or obligated, including the 

name of the project or activity; a 

description of the project or activity; an 

evaluation of the completion status of 

the project or activity; an estimate of the 

number of jobs created and the number 

of jobs retained by the project or 

activity; and for infrastructure 

investments made by State and local 

governments, the purpose, total cost, 

and rationale of the agency for funding 

the infrastructure investment with funds 

made available under the Recovery Act 

and name of the person to contact at the 

agency if there are concerns with the 

infrastructure investment. Not later than 

30 calendar days after the end of each 

calendar quarter, each agency that made 

Recovery Act funds available to any 

recipient shall make the information in 

reports submitted publicly available by 

posting the information on a Web site. 

Agency Form Numbers: Not 

applicable. 

Members of the Affected Public: 

Eligible CDBG grantees (metropolitan 

cities, urban counties, nonentitlement 

counties in Hawaii, and States). 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

responses, frequency of responses, and 

hours of responses: The number of 

respondents is 1,196. The proposed 

frequency of the response to the 

collection is on a quarterly basis. The 

total estimated burden is 28,704 

quarterly hours. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: This submission is an 

extension of a previously approved 

emergency information collection. The 

current OMB approval expires on 

October 31, 2009. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. 

Dated: August 6, 2009. 

Mercedes Ma ́ rquez, 

Assistant Secretary for Community Planning 

and Development.
