Abstract: The Neighborhood Stabilization Program competitive grant provides funding for the redevelopment of foreclosed upon and abandoned homes. The respondents are state, local government, non-profits and consortium applicants. Included in this information collection is the application, reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program

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 Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP2 and NSP-TA). 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 NSP program, which is authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. This new law provides $2 billion of grant funding for neighborhood stabilization projects and related capacity building and support for such programs. NSP addresses the negative economic effects of abandoned and foreclosed properties in targeted communities. HUD will administer these funds. NSP grant amounts will be determined by a competition in accordance with ARRA and the HUD Reform Act, and will be awarded by HUD to states, units of general local government, nonprofits, and consortia of nonprofits. Pursuant to ARRA, HUD must announce the funding criteria by May 4, 2009; receive applications by July 17, 2009, and have all funds obligated by February 17, 2010. Grantees will have two years from award to expend half the funds, and three years to expend the entire grant. 2 Due to the high priority nature of the programs authorized under ARRA and the statutory timeframes of the NSP, 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
