Emergency Justfication: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASHINGTON, D.C. 20410-7000 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Ms. Kimberly P. Nelson OMB Desk Officer Office of Management and Budget New Executive Office Building Washington, DC 20503 Dear Ms. Nelson: The Department is seeking emergency review of the Paperwork Reduction Act requirements associated with the Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP). The Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB; Emergency Comment Request (copy enclosed) proposed for immediate Federal Register publication explains the burden of the collection requirements and invites public comments on them. This is a new information collection. In compliance with the requirements of 5 CFR 1320.13, this letter requests emergency processing within 7 days from the date of publication. This emergency processing is essential to expedite the TCAP program, which is authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) of 2009 (Public Law 111-5, Section 2, Division A, Title XII of the Recovery Act, entitled “HOME Investment Partnerships Program”) signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. This new law provides $2.25 billion of grant funding for capital investment in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects, which cannot move forward because the current economic crisis has reduced the private capital available to them. HUD will administer these funds as the Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP). TCAP grant amounts will be determined by a formula established in the Recovery Act and will be awarded by HUD to the housing credit allocating agencies of each state, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Pursuant to the Recovery Act, each grantee must commit seventy-five percent of its TCAP funds to projects by February 16, 2010, by entering into legally binding agreements with the project owners. In addition, each grantee must expend seventy-five percent of its grant for eligible projects by February 16, 2011 and 100 percent of its grant by February 16, 2012. Any assistance provided to an eligible low income housing tax credit project under this provision shall be made in the same manner and subject to the same limitations as required under section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, these funds constitute federal financial assistance and thus are subject to certain additional federal grant compliance requirements, including section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Lead Safe Housing Rule under 24 CFR Part 35. Due to the high priority nature of the programs authorized under the Recovery Act and the statutory timeframes of the TCAP, HUD is requesting emergency processing of the attached Paperwork Reduction Act Submission. Thank you for your consideration and assistance. Sincerely, Nelson R. Bregón General Deputy Assistant Secretary Enclosure
