Per the memo HUD submitted as a supplementary document to this ICR, HUD advises that fewer than 10 entities are implementing the collection provisions in the final rule published in December 2011 and noted in the justification. Therefore, there is no violation of the PRA. However, HUD should ensure it has in place processes to submit collection packages timely. In addition, HUD should break-down the burden of this collection by recordkeeping and reporting when it submits this collection for re-approval. This collection is approved for 6 months.

This information collection describes the eligibility of ESG program participants, the eligibility of proposed ESG activities, ESG program agreements, and ESG recordkeeping requirements that demonstrate compliance with the eligibility standards and program agreements. The data identifies who benefits from the ESG program and how statutory and regulatory requirements are satisfied. The respondents are state and local government recipients and local government and nonprofit subrecipients.
HUD has determined that it would be contrary to the public interest to delay promulgation of the reporting requirements for the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program because Congress has provided funding for this new program in the Department of Defense and Full- Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Pub. L. 112–10, approved April 15, 2011) (FY 2011 Appropriations Act). The FY 2011 Appropriations Act appropriates, in section 2241 of the statute, $1,905,000,000 for homeless assistance grants, of which at least $225,000,000 shall be for the ESG program. While many federal programs, including HUD programs, received a reduction in funding in the FY 2011 Appropriations Act, Congress increased funding for HUD’s homeless assistance grants, and for the first time, authorized funding for a program, (the ESG program). HUD interprets this increase in funding as recognition by Congress of the significant needs that remain to help America’s homeless population and the expectation of Congress that HUD will move expediently to expend this funding to assist and serve the homeless through its programs. HUD interprets the substantial funding, a minimum of $225,000,000, for the ESG program, as recognition by Congress that this program, which is an expansion of the predecessor Emergency Shelter Grants program, and includes features that were part of the Homeless Prevention and Rapid-rehousing Program (HPRP), authorized and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111–5, approved February 17, 2009), is one that can have an immediate impact in helping the homeless. Given what HUD saw as a congressional charge to move expediently, the Emergency Solutions Grant Interim Rule was submitted to OMB and approved on October, 4th 2011. The accompanying homeless definition was later approved on October 14th, the Rule was published in the Federal Register on December 2nd, and it became effective on January 3rd, 2012. HUD waited on final approval by OMB of the programmatic requirements proposed in the interim rule prior to finalizing these Paperwork Reduction Act requirements
