This information collection is being conducted by CPD Office of Block Grant Assistance to assist the Administrator of HUD in determining, as required by section 904(c) under Title IX of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113-2, enacted January 29, 2013), whether to grant waiver waivers of the twenty-four month expenditure deadline for grantees (Entitlement communities, States and units of general local governments) receiving funds under the Act. The data will allow HUD to expeditiously review request for extensions of the deadline where a deadline puts recovery at risk.
This emergency processing is requested to ensure the Department is able to provide CDBG-DR grantees with timely information on how to seek a waiver of the 24-month expenditure deadline required under P.L. 113-2
