OMB Approval Number: 2502–0446. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Form Number: Owners will submit 

rent appeal on owner’s letterhead

Description of the need for the

Urban Development (HUD) to establish 

rents for certain subsidized rental 

projects. Under this legislation, HUD is

determining the method of rent 

adjustments and with facilitating these 

adjustments. Because rent adjustments 

are considered benefits to project 

owners, HUD must also provide some 

means for owners to appeal the 

decisions made by the Department or 

the Contract Administrator. This appeal 

process and the information collection 

play an important role in preventing 

costly litigation and in ensuring the 

accuracy of the overall rent adjustment 

process. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): 

Owners of certain subsidized 

multifamily rental projects. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

525.

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for 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 31, 

2014. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Indian 

Community Development Block Grant 

Information Collection. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0191. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD–4123, HUD– 

4125. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: Title I of 

the Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1974 authorizes 

Indian Community Development Block 

Grants (ICDBG) and requires that grants 

be awarded annually on a competitive 

basis. The purpose of the ICDBG 

program is to develop viable Indian and 

Alaska Native communities by creating 

decent housing, suitable living 

environments, and economic 

opportunities primarily for low- and 

moderate-income persons. Consistent 

with this objective, not less than 70 

percent of the expenditures are to 

benefit low and moderate-income 

persons. Eligible applicants include 

Federally-recognized tribes, which 

includes Alaska Native communities, 

and tribally authorized tribal 

organizations. Eligible categories of 

funding include housing rehabilitation, 

land acquisition to support new 

housing, homeownership assistance, 

public facilities and improvements, 

economic development, and 

microenterprise programs. For a 

complete description of eligible 

activities, please refer to 24 CFR 1003, 

subpart C. 

The ICDBG program regulations are at 

24 CFR part 1003. The ICDBG program 

requires eligible applicants to submit 

information to enable HUD to select the 

best projects for funding during annual 

competitions. Additionally, the 

information submitted is essential for 

HUD in monitoring grants to ensure that 

grantees are complying with applicable 

statutes and regulations and 

implementing activities as approved. 

ICDBG applicants must submit a 

complete application package which 

includes an Application for Federal 

Assistance (SF–424), Applicant/

Recipient Disclosure/Update Report 

(HUD–2880), Cost Summary (HUD– 

4123), and Implementation Schedule 

(HUD–4125). If the applicant has a 

waiver of the electronic submission 

requirement and is submitting a paper 

application, an Acknowledgement of 

Application Receipt (HUD–2993) must 

also be submitted. If the applicant is a 

tribal organization, a resolution from the 

tribe stating that the tribal organization 

is submitting an application on behalf of 

the tribe must also be included in the 

application package. 

ICDBG recipients are required to 

submit a quarterly Federal Financial 

Report (SF–425) that describes the use 

of grant funds drawn from the 

recipient’s line of credit. The reports are 

used to monitor cash transfers to the 

recipients and obtain expenditure data 

from the recipients. (24 CFR 

1003.501(16)) 

The regulations at 24 CFR part 85 

require that grantees and sub-grantees 

‘‘take all necessary affirmative steps to 

assure that minority firms, women’s 

business enterprises, and labor surplus 

area firms are used when possible’’ (24 

CFR 85.36(e)). Consistent with these 

regulations, 24 CFR 1003.506(b) requires 

that ICDBG grantees report on these 

activities on an annual basis, with 

Contract and Subcontract Activity 

Report being due to HUD on October 10 

of each year (HUD–2516). 

The regulations at 24 CFR 1003.506 

instruct recipients to submit to HUD an 

Annual Status and Evaluation Report 

(ASER) that describes the progress made 

in completing approved activities with 

a listing of work to be completed; a 

breakdown of funds expended; and 

when the project is completed, a 

program evaluation expressing the 

effectiveness of the project in meeting 

community development needs. The 

ASER is due by November 15 each year 

and at grant closeout. 

The information collected will allow 

HUD to accurately audit the program. 

Respondents: Federally recognized 

Native American Tribes, Alaska Native 

communities and corporations, and 

tribal organizations
