A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Section 3 Sample Utilization 
Plans.
    OMB Approval Number: 2501-New.
    Type of Request: New.
    Form Number: HUD Forms 4737, 4737A, 4737B, 4737C, 4737D.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
collection is to document the Section 3 labor hours for Section 3 
workers and Section 3 Business concerns for employment and economic 
opportunities generated by public housing financial assistance and 
section 3 projects as well as the HUD funding/grants generating the 
opportunities. This collection is reflective of the changes to the 
Section 3 regulation, published in the Federal Register 9/29/2020. 
Grantees of HUD financial assistance can use this as a sample tool to 
document their Section 3 labor hours. This collection is not a 
requirement but is to be used as a sample if grantees do not already 
have a process in place to document Section 3 labor hours.
