This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Urban
County Qualification/Requalification
Processes.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2506–0170.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended, at sections
102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires that any
county seeking qualification as an urban
county notify each unit of general local
government within the county that such
unit may enter into a cooperation
agreement to participate in the CDBG
program as part of the county. Section
102(d) of the statute specifies that the
period of qualification will be three
years. Based on these statutory
provisions, counties seeking
qualification or requalification as urban
counties under the CDBG program must
provide information to HUD every three
years identifying the units of general
local governments (UGLGs) within the
county participating as a part of the
county for purposes of receiving CDBG
funds. The population of UGLGs for
each eligible urban county is used in
HUD’s allocation of CDBG funds for all
entitlement and State CDBG grantees.
New York towns undertook a similar
process every three years. However,

after consultation with program counsel,
it has been determined that a
requalification process for New York
towns is unnecessary because the units
of general local government in New
York towns do not have the same
statutory notice rights (under Section
102(e) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974) as units of
general local government participating
in an urban county. In addition, each
New York town has automatic renewing
agreements with the incorporated units
of general local governments contained
within their boundaries. Therefore, it is
presumed that all incorporated units of
general local government will continue
to participate in the New York towns in
which they are located unless
Headquarters is notified to the contrary.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
N/A.
Members of affected public: Urban
counties that are eligible as entitlement
grantees of the CDBG program.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: There are currently
183 qualified urban counties
participating in the CDBG program that
must requalify every three years. On
average, three new counties qualify each
year. The burden on new counties is
greater than for existing counties that
requalify. The Department estimates
new grantees use, on average, 100 hours
to review instructions, contact
communities in the county, prepare and
review agreements, obtain legal
opinions, have agreements executed at
the local and county level, and prepare
and transmit copies of required
documents to HUD. The Department
estimates that counties that are
requalifying use, on average, 60 hours to
complete these actions. The time
savings on requalification is primarily a
result of a grantee’s ability to use
agreements with no specified end date.
Use of such ‘‘renewable’’ agreements
enables the grantee to merely notify
affected participating UGLGs in writing
that their agreement will automatically
be renewed unless the UGLG terminates
the agreement in writing, rather than
executing a new agreement every three
years.

Average of 3 new urban counties qualify per year .............................................................................................
183 grantees requalify on triennial basis; average annual number of respondents = 61 ..................................
Total combined burden hours ......................................................................................................................
