Abstract: The Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA) requires recipients (tribes and tribally designated housing entities) to submit specific information that is necessary for the implementation of low income housing programs using Indian Housing Block Grant funds (IHBG). Recipients of IHBG funds submit Indian Housing Plan/Annual Performance Reports (HUD-52737), Formula Response Forms (HUD-4117), and Formula Challenge Forms (HUD-4119). Recipients of IHBG funds submit an Indian Housing Plan/Annual Performance Report (HUD-52737) annually using a Word version. HUD intends to make available an Excel and EPIC version of the form that requests exactly the same information as does the Word version. The automated capabilities of the Excel EPIC versions improve the quality of the submission and simplify the completion of the form, while reducing paperwork burden.

Short Statement: This change adds two new forms to this information collection. If the recipient of IHBG funds is accumulating funds in a reserve account, the recipient must have a depository agreement with its financial institution provisions regarding disbursement of funds (HUD-52736-A). If a recipient has received approval to invest IHBG funds and seeks to have the funds managed by a broker/dealer, there must be a depository agreement signed by both the IHBG recipient and the broker/dealer (HUD-52736-B. The new forms are not submitted to HUD, they are kept on file by the IHBG recipient. They are a onetime form, and take approximately fifteen minutes (.25 hours) to fill out, review and complete. Each IHBG grantee is likely to have these forms, but as they are not submitted annually and only edited when the IHBG recipient changes financial institutions or broker/dealers, the changes will have no significant impact on information collection burden. The only reason the electronic response rate went down significantly is because the depository agreements are kept on file, and not submitted to HUD.
