SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD has 

submitted to OMB a request for 

approval of the information collection 

described in Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on October 10, 

2014. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Protection and Enhancement of 

Environmental Quality. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0177. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD 

requests its applicants to supply 

environmental information that is not 

otherwise available to HUD staff for the 

environmental review on an applicant’s 

proposal for HUD financial assistance to 

develop or improve housing or 

community facilities. HUD itself must 

perform an environmental review for 

the purpose of compliance with its 

environmental regulations found at 24 

CFR part 50, Protection and 

Enhancement of Environmental Quality. 

Part 50 implements the National 

Environmental Policy Act and 

implementing procedures of the Council 

on Environmental Quality, as well as 

the related federal environmental laws 

and executive orders. HUD’s agencywide provisions—24 CFR 50.3(h)(1) and 

50.32 [copy attached]—regulate how 

individual HUD program staffs are to 

utilize such collected data when HUD 

itself prepares the environmental review 

and compliance. Separately, individual 

HUD programs each have their own 

regulations and guidance implementing 

environmental and related collection 

responsibilities. For the next three 

years, this approved collection will 

continue unchanged under this OMB 

control number to assure adequate 

coverage for all HUD programs subject 

to Part 50. 

Respondents: Businesses, not-forprofit institutions, and local 

governments receiving HUD funding.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond; including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

HUD encourages interested parties to 

submit comment in response to these 

questions.
