Revision.

OMB Approval Number: 2529–0033.

information required by this

certification will enable the Department

to determine that selected agencies are

using FHIP funds as intended (to

prevent and eliminate discriminatory

housing practices). These grants are

authorized under Section 561 of the

2992, HUD50070, HUD–50071:

Members of Affected Public: 400.

Reporting Burden: The Department

estimates that the application kit,

Certificate, quarterly report, final report,

and enforcement log, will have the

following reporting burdens:

Application Number of

respondents Frequency Hours perresponse Burden hours

Development .................................................................................................... 400 1 53 21,200

The number of respondents is based on the total number of applications received under all initiatives. The number of hours per response is an

average based on grantee estimates of time to review instructions, search existing data sources, prepare required responses to the application kit, and assemble exhibits.

Certification ...................................................................................................... 70 2 4 560

Quarterly Report .............................................................................................. 70 4 12 3,360

Enforcement Log ............................................................................................. 35 4 7 980

Final Report ..................................................................................................... 70 1 20 1,400

Estimates are based on 70 of 400

applications funded, thus, 70

respondents will file a Certification for

Recipients of FHIP Funds, at least twice.

In addition, respondents will report 4

times annually on program performance

and financial status. Approximately

one-half of the funded recipients will be

requested to complete the enforcement

log. Hours per response are averages

based on grantee estimates of time to

review instructions, search existing data

sources, gather and maintain the needed

data, and complete or respond to the

requested information. Actual time may

vary because of differences in grant

activities, size, or complexity, and

depending on whether the grantee

automates the format.

Status of the proposed information

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