Chapter 35 as Amended). 

This Notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning the proposed 

collection of information to: (1) Evaluate 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the

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. 

This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: HOME Investment 

Partnerships Program (HOME). 

Description of Information Collection: 

The information collected through 

HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and 

Information System (IDIS) (§ 92.502) is 

used by HUD Field Offices, HUD 

Headquarters and HOME Program 

Participating Jurisdictions (PJs). The 

information on program funds 

committed and disbursed is used by 

HUD to track PJ performance and to 

determine compliance with the 

statutory 24-month commitment 

deadline and the regulatory 5-year 

expenditure deadline (§ 92.500(d)). The 

project-specific property, tenant, owner 

and financial data is used to compile 

annual reports to Congress required at 

Section 284(b) of the Act, as well as to 

make program management decisions 

about how well program participants are 

achieving the statutory objectives of the 

HOME Program. Program management 

reports are generated by IDIS to provide 

data on the status of program 

participants’ commitment and 

disbursement of HOME funds. These 

reports are provided to HUD staff as 

well as to HOME PJs. 

Management reports required in 

conjunction with the Annual 

Performance Report (§ 92.509) are used 

by HUD Field Offices to assess the 

effectiveness of locally designed 

programs in meeting specific statutory 

requirements and by Headquarters in 

preparing the Annual Report to 

Congress. Specifically, these reports 

permit HUD to determine compliance 

with the requirement that PJs provide a 

25% match for HOME funds expended 

during the Federal fiscal year (Section 

220 of the Act) and that program income 

be used for HOME eligible activities 

(Section 219 of the Act), as well as the 

Women and Minority Business 

Enterprise requirements (§ 92.351(b)). 

Financial, project, tenant and owner 

documentation is used to determine 

compliance with HOME Program cost 

limits (Section 212(e) of the Act), 

eligible activities (§ 92.205), and eligible 

costs (§ 92.206), as well as to determine 

whether program participants are 

achieving the income targeting and 

affordability requirements of the Act 

(Sections 214 and 215). Other 

information collected under Subpart H 

(Other Federal Requirements) is 

primarily intended for local program 

management and is only viewed by 

HUD during routine monitoring visits. 

The written agreement with the owner 

for long-term obligation (§ 92.504) and 

tenant protections (§ 92.253) are 

required to ensure that the property 

owner complies with these important 

elements of the HOME Program and are 

also reviewed by HUD during 

monitoring visits. HUD reviews all other 

data collection requirements during 

monitoring to assure compliance with 

the requirements of Title II and other 

related laws and authorities. 

HUD tracks PJ performance and 

compliance with the requirements of 24 

CFR Parts 91 and 92. PJs use the 

required information in the execution of 

their program, and to gauge their own 

performance in relation to stated goals. 

OMB Control Number: 2506–0171. 

Agency Form Numbers: HUD 40093, 

SF 1199A, HUD 20755, HUD 40107,
