SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in Section A. The 
                    **Federal Register**
                     notice that solicited public comment on the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on August 20, 2021 at 86 FR 46865. A. Overview of Information Collection *Title of Information Collection:*
                     Promise Zones Reporting. *OMB Approval Number:*
                     2501-0035. *Type of Request:*
                     Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collections. *Form Number:*
                     HUD-9916 Promise Zone Annual Narrative Report; HUD-9917 Quarterly Investments & Assistance Report; HUD-9919 Quarterly Progress and Annual Priorities Report. *Description of the need for the information and proposed use:*
                     This collection is a reinstatement with changes to a previous collection that collected information for reporting purposes. The HUD-XXXX “New Neighborhood Amenities” form, from the original 2501-0035 OMB approval, has been removed from this collection because the form was never used. Additionally, HUD Form 9917 (Bi-annual Non-Federal Investment report) and HUD Form 9918 (Monthly Federal Grants Report) have been merged so that HUD 9917 will now collect the information previously captured in 
                    ( print page 8029)
                    HUD 9918. HUD 9917 has therefore been reformatted to collect this new information and to be more user-friendly; HUD 9918 has been removed and retired from this collection. HUD-9917 will now be called the Quarterly Investments and Assistance Report; it will be collected quarterly and submitted cumulatively. These changes will reduce unnecessary copying and pasting, reformatting, and file management, and will ultimately reduce the burden on respondents. HUD designated fourteen communities as urban Promise Zones between 2014 and 2016. Under the Promise Zones initiative, the federal government invests in and partners with high-poverty urban, rural, and tribal communities to create jobs, increase economic activity, improve educational opportunities, leverage private investment, and reduce violent crime. Additional information about the Promise Zones initiative can be found at 
                    *https://www.hud.gov/​program_​offices/​field_​policy_​mgt/​fieldpolicymgtpz,*
                     and questions can be addressed to 
                    *promisezone@hud.gov.*
                     The federal administrative duties pertaining to these designations shall be managed and executed by HUD for ten years from the designation dates pursuant to sections 2 and 3 of the HUD Act, 42 U.S.C. 3531-32, to assist the President in achieving maximum coordination of the various federal activities which have a major effect upon urban community, suburban, or metropolitan development; to develop and recommend the President policies for fostering orderly growth and development of the Nation's urban areas; and to exercise leadership, at the direction of the President, in coordinating federal activities affecting housing and urban development. To facilitate communication between local and federal partners, HUD proposes that Promise Zone Lead Organizations submit minimal reports and documents to support collaboration and problem solving between local and federal partners. These reports will also assist in communications and stakeholder engagement, both locally and nationally. Information collection
