A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Indian 

Community Development Block Grant. 

OMB Approved Number: 2577–0191. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD–4123, HUD– 

4125. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: Title I of 

the Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1974 authorizes 

Indian Community Development Block 

Grants (ICDBG) and requires that grants 

be awarded annually on a competitive 

basis. The purpose of the ICDBG 

program is to develop viable Indian and 

Alaska Native communities by creating 

decent housing, suitable living 

environments, and economic 

opportunities primarily for low- and 

moderate-income persons. Consistent 

with this objective, not less than 70 

percent of the expenditures are to 

benefit low and moderate-income 

persons. Eligible applicants include 

Federally-recognized tribes, which 

includes Alaska Native communities, 

and tribally authorized tribal 

organizations. Eligible categories of 

funding include housing rehabilitation, 

land acquisition to support new 

housing, homeownership assistance, 

public facilities and improvements, 

economic development, and 

microenterprise programs. For a 

complete description of eligible 

activities, please refer to 24 CFR part 

1003, subpart C. 

The ICDBG program regulations are at 

24 CFR part 1003. The ICDBG program 

requires eligible applicants to submit 

information to enable HUD to select the 

best projects for funding during annual 

competitions. Additionally, the 

information submitted is essential for 

HUD in monitoring grants to ensure that 

grantees are complying with applicable 

statutes and regulations and 

implementing activities as approved. 

ICDBG applicants must submit a 

complete application package which 

includes an Application for Federal 

Assistance (SF–424), Applicant/ 

Recipient Disclosure/Update Report 

(HUD–2880), Cost Summary (HUD– 

4123), and Implementation Schedule 

(HUD–4125). If the applicant has a 

waiver of the electronic submission 

requirement and is submitting a paper 

application, an Acknowledgement of 

Application Receipt (HUD–2993) must 

also be submitted. If the applicant is a 

tribal organization, a resolution from the 

tribe stating that the tribal organization 

is submitting an application on behalf of 

the tribe must also be included in the 

application package. 

ICDBG recipients are required to 

submit a quarterly Federal Financial 

Report (SF–425) that describes the use 

of grant funds drawn from the 

recipient’s line of credit. The reports are 

used to monitor cash transfers to the 

recipients and obtain expenditure data 

from the recipients. (2 CFR 200.327) 

The regulations at 24 CFR part 200 

require that grantees and sub-grantees 

take all necessary affirmative steps to 

assure that minority firms, women’s 

business enterprises, and labor surplus 

area firms are used when possible. 

Consistent with these regulations, 24 

CFR 1003.506(b) requires that ICDBG 

grantees report on these activities on an 

annual basis, with Contract and 

Subcontract Activity Report being due 

to HUD on October 10 of each year 

(HUD–2516). 

The regulations at 24 CFR 1003.506 

instruct recipients to submit to HUD an 

Annual Status and Evaluation Report 

(ASER) that describes the progress made 

in completing approved activities with 

a listing of work to be completed; a 

breakdown of funds expended; and 

when the project is completed, a 

program evaluation expressing the 

effectiveness of the project in meeting 

community development needs. The 

ASER is due by November 15 each year 

and at grant closeout. 

The information collected will allow 

HUD to accurately audit the program. 

Respondents: Federally recognized 

Native American Tribes, Alaska Native 

communities and corporations, and 

tribal organizations.

information collection for a period of 60

2018 at 83 FR 8694. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Single 

Family Mortgage Insurance for 

Hawaiian Homelands. 

OMB Approved Number: 2502–0358. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: FHA 

insures mortgages on single-family 

dwellings under provisions of the 

National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1709). 

The Housing and Urban Rural Recovery 

Act (HURRA), Public Law 98–181, 

amended the National Housing Act to 

add Section 247 (12 U.S.C. 1715z–12) to 

permit FHA to insure mortgages for 

properties located on Hawaiian 

Homelands. Under this program, the 

mortgagor must be a native Hawaiian. In 

accordance with 24 CFR 203.43i, the 

collection of information is verification 

that a loan applicant is a native 

Hawaiian and that the applicant holds 

a lease on land in a Hawaiian 

Homelands area. A borrower must 

obtain verification of eligibility from 

Department of Hawaiian Homelands 

(DHHL) and submit it to the lender. A 

borrower cannot obtain a loan under 

these provisions without proof of status 

as a native Hawaiian. United States 

citizens living in Hawaii are not eligible 

for this leasehold program unless they 

are native Hawaiians. The eligibility 

document is required to obtain benefits. 

In accordance with 24 CFR 

203.439(c), lenders must report monthly 

to HUD and the DHHL on delinquent 

borrowers and provide documentation 

to HUD to support that the loss 

mitigation requirements of 24 CFR 

203.602 have been met. To assist the 

DHHL in identifying delinquent loans, 

lenders report monthly. A delinquent 

mortgage that is reported timely would 

allow DHHL to intervene and prevent 

foreclosure.
