DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR–5603–C–74]

Notice of Submission of Proposed
Information Collection to OMB; Indian
Housing Block Grants (IHBG) Program
Reporting
Office of the Chief Information
Officer, HUD.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
AGENCY:

On October 23, 2012 at 77 FR
64820 HUD published an information
collection notice entitled ‘‘Indian
Housing Block Grants Program
Reporting’’. The following information
is a correction to the previous notice
publish October 23, 2012.
The proposed information collection
requirement described below has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act. The Department is soliciting public
comments on the subject proposal.
Indian tribes, Alaska Natives, Native
Hawaiians, or tribally designated
housing entities that receive IHBG funds
are required annually to submit HUD–
52737 that consists of two components:
the Indian Housing Plan (IHP)
component and the Annual Performance
Report (APR) component.
The IHP is required by Section 102 of
the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination Act
(NAHASDA) and describes the eligible
IHBG-funded, affordable housing
activities the recipient plans to conduct
for the benefit of low and moderate
income tribal members and identifies
the intended outcomes and outputs for
the upcoming 12-month year. The
recipient submits the IHP at least 75
days prior to the beginning of its 12month program year. HUD conducts a
limited review of the IHP to determine
that the planned activities are in
compliance with NAHASDA
requirements, as defined at 24 CFR Part
1000.
At the end of the 12-month period,
the recipient submits the APR that is
required by Section 404 of NAHASDA
and describes (1) the use of grant funds
during the prior 12-month period; (2)
the actual outcomes and outputs

achieved; (3) program accomplishments;
and (4) jobs supported by IHBG-funded
activities. HUD uses the information in
the APR to review the recipient’s
progress in implementing the IHP,
verify whether the activities are eligible
and to determine if the recipient has the
capacity to continue implementing the
activities described in the IHP in a
timely manner. The information in the
APR also will be used to provide
Congress, stakeholders, and other
interested parties with information on
how the IHBG funds are being used to
meet affordable housing needs within
Native American communities.
The IHP/APR is currently available in
a Word version. With this submission
HUD intends to make available a revised
Word version, an Excel version, and a
version on HUD’s Energy and
Performance Information Center (EPIC)
Web site. All three versions of the IHP/
APR request the same information and
a recipient may elect to submit to HUD
either the Word, Excel, or EPIC versions;
however, the Excel and EPIC versions
are preferred because of their automated
capabilities and reduced burden. The
Word, Excel, and EPIC versions differ
from the current version of HUD–52737
with the elimination of Line 1 (Planned
Grant-Based Budget for Eligible
Programs) in Section 5 (Budgets)
because collection of this information
served no valid purpose.
Participants in the IHBG program are
responsible for notifying HUD of
changes to the Formula Current Assisted
Stock (FCAS) component of the IHBG
formula. HUD is notified of changes in
the FCAS through a Formula Response
Form (HUD–4117), as defined at 24 CFR
1000.302. A tribe, TDHE, or HUD may
challenge the data from the U.S.
Decennial Census or provide an
alternative source of data by submitting
the Guidelines for Challenging U.S.
Decennial Census Data Document
(HUD–4119). Census challenges are due
March 30th of each fiscal year, as
defined at 24 CFR 1000.336. This
information collection is required of
participants in the IHBG program to
demonstrate compliance with eligibility
and other requirements of NAHASDA;
provision of correction or challenge
documentation of the formula
calculation; and provision of data for
HUD’s annual report to Congress. The
information gathered will be used to
allocate funds under the IHBG program.
The quality assurance of data reported
is a very important issue in maintaining
HUD’s databases used to monitor
participant’s proposed plans,
accomplishments, determine program
compliance, and to ensure fair and
equitable allocations. In some cases, the
