    Title of Proposal: Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities 
NOFA Rating Factor Forms.
    Description of Information Collection: The Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117, approved December 16, 2009) 
(Appropriations Act), made $100 million available for the Sustainable 
Communities Regional Planning Grant Program to support metropolitan and 
multijurisdictional planning efforts that integrate housing, land use, 
economic and workforce development, transportation, and infrastructure 
investments in a manner that empowers jurisdictions to consider the 
interdependent challenges of (1) economic competitiveness and 
revitalization; (2) social equity, inclusion, and access to 
opportunity; (3) energy use and climate change; and (4) public health 
and environmental impact.
    As part of HUD's Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities 
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) we hope incorporating Rating 
Factor forms will achieve the following: (1) Facilitate the submission 
of information as part of the applicant's grant application; (2) ensure 
that the information submitted is consistent and uniform amongst all 
applicants; and (3) facilitate the review process when applications are 
being reviewed, ranked and rated.
    OMB Control Number: Pending.
    Agency Form Numbers: N/A, the data will be collected via form.
    Members of Affected Public: State, Local Government and Non-profit 
organizations.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
responses, and hours of responses: The estimated number of respondents 
is 300 and the number of responses is 1. There will be, in total, 
approximately 300 responses. The total reporting burden is 600 hours.
    Status of the Proposed Information Collection: New collection of 
information for Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program 
applicants.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.
