This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Indian Housing 

Block Grant Information Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2577–0218. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: Section 

102 of the Native American Housing 

Assistance and Self-Determination 

Reauthorization Act of 2008 

(NAHASDA) requires that an Indian 

Tribe or Tribally designated housing 

entity for the Tribe submit an Indian 

Housing Plan (IHP), form HUD–52735. 

The IHP provides a description of how 

the Tribe or housing entity will use the 

Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) 

funds to provide affordable housing for 

its low to moderate income Tribal 

members. The IHP will be reviewed on 

a limited basis to determine that the 

planned activities are in compliance 

with NAHASDA requirements, as 

defined at 24 CFR Part 1000. 

Section 404 of NAHASDA requires 

the IHBG recipient to review progress 

made on implementing the IHP and 

submit an Annual Performance Report 

(APR), form HUD–52735–AS. The APR 

is to include a description of how the 

IHBG funds were used and to correlate 

the uses of the funds to the goals and 

objectives in the IHP. The regulations 

authorize HUD to extend the APR due 

date if the recipient submits a justified 

request. The information in the APR 

will be used to review the recipient’s 

progress in implementing the IHP, 

determine if the activities are eligible 

and to determine if the recipient has the 

capacity to continue implementing the 

IHP in a timely manner. The 

information in the APR also will be 

used to provide Congress, stakeholders, 

and other interested parties with 

information on how the IHBG funds are 

being used to meet affordable housing 

needs within Native American 

communities. 

Throughout the year, the recipient is 

to submit quarterly a Federal Cash 

Transactions Report (HUD–272–I) that 

provides a snapshot of the grant funds 

drawn from the recipient’s line of credit 

(Title 24 CFR 85.41 (c)). HUD uses the 

financial information to monitor IHBG 

expenses, investments, and activities. 

Participants in the IHBG program are 

responsible for notifying HUD of 

changes to the Formula Current Assisted 

Stock (FCAS) component of the IHBG 

formula. HUD is notified of changes in 

the FCAS through a Formula Response 

Form (HUD–4117), as defined at 24 CFR 

1000.302. A Tribe, TDHE, or HUD may 

challenge the data from the U.S. 

Decennial Census or provide an 

alternative source of data by submitting 

the Guidelines for Challenging U.S. 

Decennial Census Data Document 

(HUD–4119). Census challenges are due 

June 15 of each fiscal year, as defined 

at 24 CFR 1000.336. This information 

collection is required of participants in 

the IHBG program to demonstrate 

compliance with eligibility and other 

requirements of NAHASDA; provision 

of correction or challenge 

documentation of the formula 

calculation; and provision of data for 

HUD’s annual report to Congress. The 

information gathered will be used to 

allocate funds under the IHBG program. 

The quality assurance of data reported 

is a very important issue in maintaining 

HUD’s databases used to monitor 

participant’s proposed plans, 

accomplishments, determine program 

compliance, and to ensure fair and 

equitable allocations. In some cases, the 

FCAS information addressing the 

conveyances and conversions of units 

has resulted in the recouping of funds. 

The information collected will allow 

HUD to accurately audit the program.

information: 

Title of Proposal: Public Housing 

Lease Requirements—24 CFR 966.4. 

OMB Control Number: 2577–0006. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: HUD 

regulations 24 CFR 966.4 prescribe the 

provisions that shall be incorporated in 

leases by public housing agencies 

(PHAs) for dwelling units assisted under 

the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 in projects 

owned by or leased to PHAs and leased 

or subleased by PHAs to the tenants. 

This recordkeeping requirement 

imposed upon PHAs by HUD 

regulations and associated information 

collected by the PHA from tenants is 

incidental to the PHAs’ day-to-day 

operations as landlords of rental 

housing. If these minimal requirements 

were not imposed; the Federal 

Government would have no assurance 

that PHAs were adopting leases 

consistent with the law and regulations 

and no assurance that tenants were 

being provided proper access to the 

PHA’s grievance procedures.

Members of Affected Public: State or 

local Government; Public Housing 

Agencies (PHAs), Individuals or 

Households.
