section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Community Development Block Grant 

Entitlement Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0077. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. The 

current OMB approval expires on 

August 31, 2015. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Information and Proposed Use: This 

request identifies the estimated 

reporting burden associated with 

information that CDBG entitlement 

grantees will report in IDIS for CDBGassisted activities, recordkeeping 

requirements, and reporting 

requirements. Grantees are encouraged 

to update their accomplishments in IDIS 

on a quarterly basis. In addition, 

grantees are required to retain records 

necessary to document compliance with 

statutory and regulatory requirements, 

Executive Orders, applicable OMB 

Circulars, and determinations required 

to be made by grantees as a 

determination of eligibility. Grantees are 

required to prepare and submit their 

Consolidated Annual Performance and 

Evaluation Reports, which demonstrate 

the progress grantees make in carrying 

out CDBG-assisted activities listed in 

their consolidated plans. This report is 

due to HUD 90 days after the end of the 

grantee’s program year. The information 

required for any particular activity is 

generally based on the eligibility of the 

activity and which of the three national 

objectives (benefit low- and moderateincome persons; eliminate/prevent 

slums or blight; or meet an urgent need) 

the grantee has determined that the 

activity will address. 

Respondents: Grant recipients 

(metropolitan cities and urban counties) 

participating in the CDBG Entitlement 

Program. 

Estimation Number of Respondents: 

1,164. 

Estimation Number of Responses: The 

proposed frequency of the response to 

the collection is on an annual basis. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Total Estimated Burdens: The total 

estimated burden is 544,984.
