A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting
System.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0165.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: SF–424—Application
for Federal Assistance.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting
(DRGR) System is a grants management
system used by the Office of Community
Planning and Development to monitor
special appropriation grants under the
Community Development Block Grant
program. This collection pertains to
Community Development Block Grant
Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR) and
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
(NSP) grant appropriations. The CDBG
program is authorized under Title I of
the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended.
Following major disasters, Congress
appropriates supplemental CDBG funds
for disaster recovery. According to
Section 104(e)(1) of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974,
HUD is responsible for reviewing
grantees’ compliance with applicable
requirements and their continuing
capacity to carry out their programs.
Grant funds are made available to states
and units of general local government,
Indian tribes, and insular areas, unless
provided otherwise by supplemental
appropriations statute, based on their
unmet disaster recovery needs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Community Development Block Grant
Disaster Recovery (CDBG–DR) Grants:
The system has approximately 72 open
CDBG disaster recovery grants in DRGR.
HUD estimates an additional 40 grants
as a result of the recent supplemental
appropriation for Hurricane Sandy
relief. One-time only submissions: The
onetime only pre- and post-award
submissions for the estimated 40 new
DRSI grants resulting from Hurricane
Sandy include standard forms, DRGR
Action Plan, and required financial
control documentation. Total hours are
estimated at 505 at a cost of $12,164.
Recurring submissions: Recurring
submissions include quarterly progress
reports and voucher submissions. For
average-sized grants, the Department
estimates 13 minutes needed per
voucher. CDBG–DR grantees process
approximately 19 vouchers per year.
This requires a record keeping and
reporting burden of approximately 4
hours per grantee, per year. Larger
CDBG–DR grantees take approximately
44 minutes for each voucher and submit

PO 00000

Frm 00036

Fmt 4703

54267

an average of 146 vouchers per year,
resulting in approximately 106 burden
hours per year, per grantee. Therefore,
all CDBG–DR grantees collectively
spend an estimated 2,721 hours
submitting vouchers in the DRGR
system for a total estimated annual
voucher submission cost of $65,575.
Average-sized grantees spend an
estimated 9 hours on each QPR, for a
total of 3,240 hours. Large grantees
spend an estimated 57 hours per QPR
for a total of 5,016 hours. Therefore, all
grantees collectively spend an estimated
8,256 hours per year submitting QPR
data in DRGR. Total annual QPR
submissions cost an estimated $198,970.
Grants: For the 577 active NSP grants in
the DRGR system, the Department
estimates 11 minutes per voucher
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
submission. NSP grantees process
approximately 34 vouchers per year.
This requires a record keeping and
reporting burden of approximately 3,899
hours for an annual voucher submission
cost of $93,970. NSP grantees spend an
estimated 4 hours per QPR submission,
for a total of 9,232 hours for a total
annual QPR submission costs $222,491.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3—
Technical Assistance Grants: The DRGR
system currently has 10 open NSP3–TA
grants. Historical data on voucher and
QPR submissions for technical
assistance grants were extremely limited
at the time this collection was being
assembled. Therefore, the times used to
calculate NSP grant cost burden will be
applied to NSP3–TA grant cost burden.
For 10 average-sized grants, the
Department estimates 11 minutes per
voucher. Grantees process
approximately 38 vouchers per year.
Total burden hours for all grantees over
the course of the year is estimated at
380, for a total annual submission cost
of $1,648. 10 average-sized grantees
spend approximately 4 hours submitting
each QPR, for a total of 160 hours over
the course of a year. Total annual QPR
submission costs approximately $3,856.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of

and requires that we invite public
comment before issuing these permits.
A permit granted by us under section

permittee to conduct activities with U.S.
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes, enhancement of
propagation or survival, or interstate
commerce (the latter only in the event
that it facilitates scientific purposes or
enhancement of propagation or
survival). Our regulations implementing
section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are
found at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for
threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.62 for endangered plant species, and
50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.
