A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Self-Help Homeownership 
Opportunity Program (SHOP).
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0157.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: SF-424; SF-424B; HUD 424 CB; HUD 424 CBW; SF-424D; HUD 
425; HUD 425.1; HUD 2880; HUD 50153; SF-LLL/OMB 0348-00; SF-LLL/OMB 
4040-0013; and Grant Reporting (Disaster Recover Grant Reporting/DRGR 
System).
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
is a proposed information collection for submission requirements under 
the SHOP Notice of Funding Availability (NOFO) and post-award reporting 
requirements. HUD requires information to ensure the eligibility of 
SHOP applicants and the compliance of SHOP proposals, to rate and rank 
SHOP applications, and to select applicants for grant awards. 
Information is collected on an annual basis from each applicant that 
responds to the SHOP NOFO. The SHOP NOFO requires applicants to submit 
specific forms and narrative responses. HUD also requires semi-annual 
grant reporting post-award in order to ensure the SHOP grantees are 
complying with the terms of the Executed Grant Agreement.
    Respondents: National and regional non-profit self-help housing 
organizations (including consortia) that apply for funds in response to 
the SHOP NOFO.
    Frequency of Submission: Annually in response to the issuance of a 
SHOP NOFO. Semi-annually in response to post-award grant reporting.

Estimation of the Total Number of Hours Needed To Prepare the 
Information Collection Including Number of Respondents, Hours per 
Response, Frequency of Response, and Total Hours of Response for All 
Respondents

    The estimates of the average hours needed to prepare the 
information collection are based on information provided by previous 
applicants and grantees. Actual hours will vary depending on the 
proposed scope of the applicant's/grantee's program, the applicant's/
grantee's geographic service area and the number of affiliate 
organizations. The information burden is generally greater for national 
organizations with numerous affiliates.
