at https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central and 

https://www.e-verify.gov. 

Note Regarding Federal, State, and 

Local Government Agencies (Such as 

Departments of Motor Vehicles) 

If you are applying for a Federal, state, 

or local government benefit, you may 

need to provide the government agency 

with documents that show you are 

covered under DED or authorized to 

work based on DED or both. Check with 

the government agency requesting 

documentation about which documents 

the agency will accept. 

Some government agencies use SAVE, 

https://www.uscis.gov/save, to confirm 

the current immigration status of 

applicants for public benefits and 

licenses. SAVE can verify that an 

individual is covered by DED based on 

an EAD with category (a)(11) or a Form 

I–797, Notice of Action, reflecting 

approval of your Form I–765 for an EAD 

with a DED category of (a)(11). In most 

cases, SAVE provides an automated 

electronic response to benefit-granting 

agencies within seconds, but 

occasionally verification can be delayed. 

You can check the status of your 

SAVE verification by using CaseCheck 

at https://www.uscis.gov/save/savecasecheck. CaseCheck is a free service 

that lets you follow the progress of your 

SAVE verification case using your date 

of birth and one immigration identifier 

number (such as your A-Number or 

USCIS number) or Verification Case 

Number. If an agency has denied your 

application based solely or in part on a 

SAVE response, the agency must allow 

you to appeal the decision in 

accordance with the agency’s 

procedures. If the agency has received 

and acted on or will act on a SAVE 

verification, and you do not believe the 

SAVE response is correct, the SAVE 

website, https://www.uscis.gov/save/forbenefit-applicants, has detailed 

information on how to correct or update 

your immigration record, make an 

appointment, or submit a written 

request to correct records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: CDBG 

Urban County Qualification/New York 

Towns Qualification/Requalification 

Process. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0170. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Housing and Community Development 

Act of 1974, as amended (the Act), at 

sections 102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires 

that any county seeking qualification as 

an urban county notify each unit of 

general local government within the 

county that such unit may elect to have 

its population excluded from that of the 

urban county. Section 102(d) of the Act 

specifies that the period of qualification 

will be three years. Based on these 

statutory provisions, counties seeking 

qualification or requalification as urban 

counties under the CDBG program must 

provide information to HUD every three 

years identifying the units of general 

local governments (UGLGs) within the 

county participating as a part of the 

county for purposes of receiving CDBG 

funds. The population of UGLGs for 

each eligible urban county is used in 

HUD’s allocation of CDBG funds for all 

entitlement and State CDBG grantees. 

New York Towns may qualify as 

metropolitan cities if they are able to 

secure the participation of all of the 

villages located within their boundaries. 

Any New York Town that is located in 

an urban county may choose to leave 

that urban county when that county is 

requalifying. A New York Town will be 

required to notify the urban county in 

advance of its decision to decline 

participation in the urban county’s 

CDBG program and complete the 

metropolitan city qualification process. 

Respondents: Urban counties that are 

eligible as entitlement grantees of the 

CDBG program. 

Estimation Number of Respondents: 

There are currently 195 qualified urban 

counties participating in the CDBG 

program that must requalify every three 

years. 

Estimation Number of Responses: The 

proposed frequency of the response to 

the collection is on an annual basis. 

Frequency of Response: On average, 

two new counties qualify each year. The 

burden on new counties is greater than 

for existing counties that requalify. The 

Department estimates new grantees use, 

on average, 120 hours to review 

instructions, contact communities in the 

county, prepare and review agreements, 

obtain legal opinions, have agreements 

executed at the local and county level, 

and prepare and transmit copies of 

required documents to HUD. The 

Department estimates that counties that 

are requalifying use, on average, 67 

hours to complete these actions. The 

time savings on requalification is 

primarily a result of a grantee’s ability 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2024 / Notices 77891 

to use agreements with no specified end 

date. Use of such ‘‘renewable’’ 

agreements enables the grantee to 

merely notify affected participating 

UGLGs in writing that their agreement 

will automatically be renewed unless 

the UGLG terminates the agreement in 

writing, rather than executing a new 

agreement every three years. 

Average of 2 new urban counties qualify 

per year 2 × 120 hrs = 240 hrs. 

195 grantees requalify on triennial basis; 

average annual number of 

respondents = 65 65 × 67 hrs. = 

4,355 hrs. 

Total combined burden hours: 4,595 

hours 

This total number of combined 

burden hours can be expected to 

increase annually by 1,200 hours, given 

the average of two new urban counties 

becoming eligible entitlement grantees 

each year. 

B. Solicitation of Public of Public 

Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility;

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
