SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on June 27, 2017 at

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Transfer and Consolidation of Public 

Housing Programs and Public Housing 

Agencies. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0280. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement, 

without change, of a previously 

approved collection for which approval 

has expired. 

Form Number: No form is used to 

collect this information. Forms collected 

with information incidental to this 

collection are: HUD–52190–A, HUD– 

53012–A, HUD 53012–B, HUD–52722, 

HUD–52723, HUD–51999, SF–1199A, 

HUD–27056, HUD–27054A, HUD– 

52540. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: State 

legislatures or other local governing 

bodies may from time to time direct or 

agree that the public interest is best 

served if one Public Housing Agency 

(PHA) cedes its public housing program 

to another PHA, or that two or more 

PHAs should be combined into one 

multijurisdictional PHA. This proposed 

information collection serves to protect 

HUD’s several interests in either 

transaction: (1) Insuring the continued 

use of the property as Public Housing; 

(2) that HUD’s interests are secured; and 

(3) that the Operating and Capital 

subsidies that HUD pays to support the 

operation and maintenance of Public 

Housing is properly paid to the correct 

PHA on behalf of the correct properties. 

In addition to submitting 

documentation to HUD, PHAs are 

required to make conforming changes to 

HUD’s Public Housing Information 

Center (PIC).

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 27716. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Housing Opportunities for Persons With 

AIDS (HOPWA) Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0133. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD–40110–B, HUD– 

40110–C, HUD–40110–D, SF–424, SF– 

LLL, and HUD–2991. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

current paperwork reduction act 

approval under OMB Control No. 2506– 

0133 covers both the HOPWA formula 

and competitive grant programs. The 

competitive grant program includes new 

competitive grants and renewal grants. 

The information collection requirements 

pertain to grant application submission 

requirements which will be used to rate 

applications, determine eligibility, and 

establish grant amounts. HOPWA plans 

to continue using form HUD–40110–B, 

HOPWA Competitive Application & 

Renewal of Permanent Supportive 

Housing Project Budget Summary, as a 

component of determining applicant 

eligibility and establishing grant 

amounts for competitive grants. Limited 

technical edits are proposed for form 

HUD–40110–B. HOPWA competitive 

and renewal application submission 

also require submission of the following 

forms: SF424; SFLLL; and HUD–2991. 

Form HUD–2991 is currently covered 

under OMB approval number 2506– 

0112. 

The addition of narratives to address 

the five HUD standard rating factors will 

allow HUD to rate application and 

further determine eligibility and 

establish grant amounts. Applicants 

applying for HUD competitive funds are 

required to respond to these five rating 

factors in narrative form. These 

narratives will complement the 

currently approved budget summary 

form, and allow HUD to determine if 

applicants are proposing projects within 

statutory and regulatory limitations. The 

five HUD standard rating factors 

include: Factor 1: Capacity of the 

Applicant and Relevant Organizational 

Staff; Factor 2: Need/Extent of the 

Problem; Factor 3: Soundness of 

Approach; Factor 4: Leveraging 

Resources; and Factor 5: Achieving 

Results and Program Evaluation. New 

HOPWA competitive applicants will be 

required to respond to each rating factor 

within the page limits establish in the 

grant solicitation. HOPWA renewal 

applicants will also be required to 

respond with narratives, but the 

information will be more limited and 

focused on continued compliance with 

the HOPWA program activities 

originally awarded until their initial 

grant application. 

The reporting and recordkeeping for 

both HOPWA formula and competitive 

grant programs are also included in this 

approval. Technical edits are proposed 

for forms HUD–40110–C and HUD– 

40110–D, and are limited to updating 

outdated references and information 

currently contained in the forms. 

Grantees provide annual information on 

program accomplishments that supports 

program evaluation and the ability to 

measure program beneficiary outcomes 

related to: maintaining housing stability; 

preventing homelessness; and 

improving access to care and support. 

Competitive grantees report through 

HUD–40110–C, the HOPWA Annual 

Performance Report (APR); Formula 

grantees report through HUD–40110–D, 

the HOPWA Consolidated Annual 

Performance and Evaluation Report 

(CAPER). Grantees are required to report 

on the activities undertaken only. HUD 

systematically reviews and conducts 

data analysis in order to prepare 

national and individual grantee 

performance profiles that are not only 

used to measure program performance 

against benchmark goals and objectives, 

but also to communicate the program’s 

achievement and contributions towards 

Departmental strategic goals. 

Completed technical edits 

incorporated into forms covered by this 

proposed information collection, as 

discussed above. 

I. HUD–40110–B, HOPWA Competitive 

Application & Renewal of Permanent 

Supportive Housing Project Budget

statement, ‘‘Selections of applications 

for funding under the HOPWA Program

HOPWA renewal notice for those

grantees, or the estimated number of 

grantees projected to renew HOPWA 

grants each year. The number of 

respondents listed for HOPWA 

competitive applications represents the 

number of respondents expected to 

submit an application if funding 

becomes available in the next three

submitted by all renewal and 

competitive grantees on an annual basis.
