Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: HUD published a final rulemaking on floodplain management on November 15, 2013 and the rule became effective on November 15, 2013. The final rule reduced the burden hours associated with this collection. Specifically, the final rule expanded reflect a slight decrease to the paperwork burden to as a result the scope of assistance eligible for the streamlined 5 Step Process. Under the rule, recipients' actions under any HUD program for the repair, rehabilitation, modernization or improvement of existing multifamily housing projects are eligible for the Streamlined Process for residential and nonresidential rehabilitations as long as the action does not meet the threshold of substantial improvement under § 55.2(b)(10). Similarly, financial assistance for weatherizations and floodplain and wetland restoration activities would also be granted the use of the Streamlined 5 Step Process. These changes reduce paperwork burdens by allowing for expedited processing and a decreased amount of analysis for projects that have no or little adverse impact or have beneficial effects.
