will be part of the Notice of Funding 

Availability (NOFA). These grants are to 

fund fair housing enforcement and/or 

education and outreach activities under 

the following initiatives: Administrative 

Enforcement; Private Enforcement, 

Education and Outreach, and Fair 

Housing Organizations. Information is 

also collected to monitor grants and 

grant funds. Proposed revisions to the 

currently approved information 

collection include: changes in the 

program description from ‘‘Fair Housing 

Initiatives Program Grant Application’’ 

to ‘‘Fair Housing Initiatives Program 

Grant Application and Monitoring 

Reports.’’ Monitoring reports will 

continue to be submitted electronically 

and manually. Electronic reports 

include the attached forms: ‘‘Types of 

Closures’’, ‘‘Bases and Issues in Tests’’, 

and ‘‘Basis and Issues of Reports of

27061. 

Members of affected public: The 

collection of information involves 

Qualified Fair Housing Organizations 

(QFHOs); Fair Housing Organizations 

(FHOs); public or private non-profit 

organizations or institutions and other 

public or private entities that are 

working to prevent or eliminate 

discriminatory housing practices; State 

and local governments; and Fair 

Housing Assistance Program Agencies. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including the number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: An estimation of 

46,420 total hours will be needed to 

prepare the information collection. The 

number of respondents is 400 with a 

frequency response of 1 per annum, and 

the total hours per respondent is 76.50 

hours for application development. The 

estimated 104 agencies that will receive 

funding and have to provide quarterly 

and final reports, with approximately 59 

having to provide Enforcement Logs and 

1 agency reporting on a semi-annual 

basis. The estimated number of 

respondents is based on the average of 

the number of submissions for NOFA 

years 2008 to current. The number of 

hours is an average based on grantee 

estimates of time to review instructions, 

search existing data sources, prepare 

required responses to the application, 

complete the certification, and assemble 

exhibits. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Revision of a currently 

approved collection.
