*OMB Control Number:*                     1505-0218.                

*Title:*                     Grants to States for Low-Income Housing Projects in lieu of Tax Credits.                

*Abstract:*                     Authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (Pub. L. 111-5), the Department of the Treasury implemented several provisions of the Act, more specifically Division B—Tax, Unemployment, Health, State Fiscal Relief, and Other Provisions. Among these components is a program which requires Treasury to make payments, in lieu of a tax credit, to state housing credit agencies. State housing credit agencies use the funds to make subawards to finance the construction or acquisition and rehabilitation of qualified low-income buildings. The collection of information from the agencies is necessary to properly monitor compliance with program requirements.                

*Type of Review:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.                

*Affected Public:*                     State, Local, or Tribal Governments.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     55.                

*Estimated Annual Hours per Response:*                     0.5 hours.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     57.                

*Request for Comment:*                     Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. Comments may become a matter of public record. The public is invited to submit comments concerning: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection                           ( print page 5165)                        techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
