mean that nonentitled units of general

local government in New York could

not obtain fiscal year CDBG funds.

Funds are made available to

jurisdictions in the State of Hawaii by

formula which is set forth at 24 CFR

570.429. Only three jurisdictions in the

State of Hawaii are eligible for the HUDadministered CDBG Small Cities

Program; the three counties (islands) of

Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai. The City of

Honolulu is an entitlement city.

HUD Form 4052 is the Performance

Assessment Report (PAR) which

successful applicants (grantees) are

required to submit to HUD on an annual

basis in order to report program

progress. HUD is statutorily required to

monitor program participants for timely

program progress and to annually report

to Congress. Form 4052 is used in

administration of both the Hawaii and

New York Small Cities Programs.

Failure to have an approved reporting

format would hamper HUD’s ability to

carry out the required monitoring/

reporting responsibilities in New York

and Hawaii. The information to be

collected under this request is not

available through any other source.

There are currently no information

collection technologies uniformly online and available which would reduce

the application and reporting burdens

on all affected units of general local

government. The information collection

requirements have been reduced to the

minimum necessary to meet statutory

requirements.

HUD will not require participants to

duplicate information that has been

submitted in electronic formats

(including the Consolidated Plan),

except where current regulations

continue to require paper copies. Where

the required information has been

submitted in ‘‘other official HUD

reports’’, the requirements can be

satisfied by referencing the appropriate

section(s) and providing a copy (either

electronic and/or hard copy).

Technologies are being developed to

achieve a uniform on-line electronic

ability to collect performance data as

well as disburse payments under

current accounting guidelines. This will

further reduce duplication of effort by

providing localities the means to extract

and use data from their own local data

sources.

Agency form numbers: HUD Form

4124 & HUD Form 4052.

Members of affected public: The

information collected under this request

does not include information from

individuals. The respondents are ‘‘local

governments’’.

Over the next three years there will be

584 estimated total projects in active

status under the New York Small Cities

Program. An estimated 250 applications

(form 4124) for funds were submitted in

FY 95. The Small Cities Program for

Hawaii provides grants to only three

eligible grantees: the counties of Maui,

Hawaii, and Kauai. These figures are

based on recent experience and field

projections of local applicants and the

most current estimates of the number of

open/active (and not expected to closeout) grants over the next three (3) years.

Status of the proposed information

collection:

Type of Review: Continuation,

without change, of a previously
