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 June 16, 2017 at 

82 FR 27718. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: HUD 

Environmental Review Online System 

(HEROS). 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0202. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement with 

change of a previously approved 

collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: 24 CFR 

part 58, ‘‘Environmental Review 

Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD 

Environmental Responsibilities’’ 

requires units of general local 

government receiving HUD assistance to 

maintain a written environmental 

review record for all projects receiving 

HUD funding documenting compliance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), the regulations of the 

Council on Environmental Quality, 

related federal environmental laws, 

executive orders, and authorities, and 

Part 58 procedure. Various laws that 

authorize this procedure are listed in 24 

CFR 58.1(b). 24 CFR part 50, ‘‘Protection 

and Enhancement of Environmental 

Quality,’’ implements procedures for 

HUD to perform environmental reviews 

for projects where Part 58 is not 

permitted by law. Under Part 50, HUD 

staff complete the environmental review 

records, but they may use any 

information supplied by an applicant or 

contractor, provided HUD 

independently evaluates the 

information and is responsible for its 

accuracy and prepares the 

environmental finding. HEROS allows 

users to complete, store, and submit 

their environmental review records and 

documents online. HEROS is currently 

optional for Responsible Entity and 

other non-HUD users, who may 

continue to use paper-based 

environmental review formats; however, 

HUD staff in many offices are required 

to use HEROS to complete their 

environmental reviews. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): The 

respondents are state and local 

governments receiving HUD funding 

who are required to complete 

environmental reviews. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): 

3,932. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1. 

Frequency of Response: 3,932. 

Average Hours per Response: Varies 

depending on level of review (see table 

below). Reviews that are exempt or 

Categorically Excluded Not Subject To 

the related laws and authorities 

(CENST) take roughly 45 minutes to 

complete. Reviews that are Categorically 

Excluded Subject To the related laws 

(CEST) or require an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) take an average of 4 

hours to complete. 

Total Estimated Burdens: 7,752 hours 

or $258,391.
