Recipients of Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds provide plans for low-income housing programs in their communities and submit quarterly reports on funds drawn. Recipients may submit information to correct and/or challenge data used in annual housing assistance formula allocations. Additional requirements have been added: Recipients may purchase insurance from a nonprofit insurance entity approved by HUD. These entities must submit annual audit and actuarial reviews to HUD annually.
Two corrections were made to the burdened hour calculations. The number of burden hours to complete an IHP and APR has been revised downward from 181 hours to 120 hours to correspond with the burden hours shown on each of the forms. The number of burden hours to complete Federal Cash Transactions Reports was revised downward from 579 to 366 to accurately reflect the number of respondents that will submit the quarterly reports. The total reduction in annual burden hours is 46,366.
