This request is
approved for the maximum time period permitted under the Paperwork
Reduction Act for an emergency approval. In making this request,
HUD did not provide a supporting statement containing information
required to fully explain and justify its request. This approval
includes the additional material submitted by HUD to OMB on 6/17
and 6/20.OMB's notice of action does not reflect the dollar burden
information provided by HUD for this information collection as it
apparently duplicates the burden hour information reported by HUD.
Instructions for the Form 83-I and the supporting statement are
specific in saying that dollar burden should exclude the cost of
burden hours. OMB understands that HUD is developing a procedure
for preventing distribution of unapproved information collection
instruments through the Internet in order to prevent violations of
the Paperwork Reduction Act. HUD must seek and recieve OMB approval
for any collection of information covered by this emergency
approval continuing beyond 8/96--including any post-award financial
or monitoring reports or ongoing recordkeeping required of grant
recipients. HUD must comply with the normal process for seeking OMB
approval in seeking extension of OMB approval.
