SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Closeout instructions for CDBG 

Programs. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0193. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD 7082-Funding 

Approval Form. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: The 

closeout instructions apply to 

Community Development Block Grant 

(CDBG) programs (State CDBG Program, 

CDBG Disaster Recovery Supplemental 

Funding, CDBG-Recovery Act (CDBG– 

R)) and Neighborhood Stabilization 

Programs (NSP) 1, 2, & 3. Section 

570.509 of the CDBG regulations 

contains the grant closeout criteria for 

Entitlement jurisdictions when HUD 

determines, in consultation with the 

recipients that a grant can be closed. 

The State CDBG program does not have 

a regulatory requirement for closeouts 

but has relied on administrative 

guidance. This is also true for the NSP, 

CDBG Disaster Recovery and CDBG–R 

programs administrated by the state. 

States will use the Notice as a vehicle 

to verify that State CDBG funds have 

been properly spent before a grant may 

be officially closed. The HUD field 

office will prepare and send a closeout 

package that includes a transmittal 

letter, grant closeout agreement, grantee 

closeout certification and a closeout 

checklist to the grantee via email or 

standard mail. The information in the 

closeout package will assist the 

Department in determining whether all 

requirements of the contract between 

the Department and the Grantee have 

been completed. 

The HUD 7082 Funding Approval Form 

The Grant Agreement between the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD) and the Grantee is 

made pursuant to the authority of Title 

I of the Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1974, as amended, 

(42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.). HUD will make 

the funding assistance as specified to 

the grantee upon execution of the 

Agreement. 

Respondents (i.e., affected public): 

This information collection applies to 

all States, Entitlement jurisdictions, 

Insular Areas, non-entitlement counties 

in Hawaii and those non-entitlement 

counties directly funded by NSP 3 and 

CDBG–DR. 

Estimated Number of Respondents/ 

Estimated Number of Responses: The 

estimated combined number of 

respondents is 3,294 for the grant 

closeout task and for the HUD 7082 

funding approval form. The proposed 

frequency of the response to the 

collection of information is annual to 

initiate the grant closeout reporting and 

submission of the funding approval 

agreement. The total annual reporting 

for grant closeout is estimated at 

2,602.77 hours for 1,728 grant 

recipients. The annual submission of 

the HUD 7082 funding approval form is 

estimated at 468.5 hours for 1,566 grant 

recipients. 

Frequency of Response: At time of 

closeout. 

Average Hours per Response: 6.23. 

Total Estimated Burdens: 2,602.77 

hours.
