Abstract: The information collected from the surveys will enale the Department to determine the feasibility of expecting of expanding the Section 3 Business Registry Pilot Program. The surveys wills assist the Department with evaluating the effectiveness of the registry for increasing the award of contracts to Section 3 business and for improving the capacity of covered recipients to meet Section 3 requirements at 24 CFR part 135.

Emergency Justfication: Emergency approval will allow HUD to collect data from Section 3 business and HUD funding recipients that will be used to make policy decisions regarding the feasibility of implementing a national Section 3 Business Registry. If the Department is required to obtain PRA approval through the traditional process we will be unable to assess the Section 3 Business Registry during the limited duration of the pilot program. This emergency review wil also enable HUD to ensure that recipients of covered HUD funding have all capacity to meet the regulatory requirements of Section 3 and enhance our overall enforements efforts.
