SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Notice informs the public that the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has submitted to OMB, 
for emergency processing, an information collection package with 
respect to a survey of HUD's business partners and current grantees on 
their use of HUD's current grant management systems and the time and 
effort involved in their processing of grant information. The 
Department is developing a web-based, departmental grants management 
system that will cover the lifecycle of a grant from application 
through to closeout and audit and feels input from our business 
partners will help minimize the associated information collection 
burden.

affecting 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: Departmental Grants Management Survey.
    OMB Control Number: Pending.
    Agency Form Numbers: None.
    Members of Affected Public: State, local or tribal government, not-

    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the

response per respondent; and one hour per response.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: October 13, 2000.
