SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD has
submitted to OMB a request for
approval of the information collection
described in Section A.
The Federal Register notice that
solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60
days was published on February 9, 2015
at 80 FR 7028.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Urban County Qualification/
Requalification Processes.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0170.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended, at sections
102(a)(6) and 102(e) requires that any
county seeking qualification as an urban
county notify each unit of general local
government within the county that such
unit may enter into a cooperation
agreement to participate in the CDBG
program as part of the county. Section
102(d) of the statute specifies that the
period of qualification will be three
years. Based on these statutory
provisions, counties seeking
qualification or requalification as urban
counties under the CDBG program must
provide information to HUD every three
years identifying the units of general
local governments (UGLGs) within the
county participating as a part of the
county for purposes of receiving CDBG
funds. The population of UGLGs for
each eligible urban county is used in
HUD’s allocation of CDBG funds for all
entitlement and State CDBG grantees.
New York towns undertook a similar
process every three years. However,

E:\FR\FM\15APN1.SGM

15APN1

20240

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 72 / Wednesday, April 15, 2015 / Notices

after consultation with program counsel,
it was determined that a requalification
process for New York towns is
unnecessary because the units of general
local government in New York towns do
not have the same statutory notice rights
(under Section 102(e) of the Housing
and Community Development Act of
1974) as units of general local
government participating in an urban
county. In addition, each New York
town has automatic renewing
agreements with the incorporated units
of general local governments contained
within their boundaries. Therefore, it is
presumed that all incorporated units of
general local government will continue
to participate in the New York towns in

which they are located unless
Headquarters is notified to the contrary.
Respondents: Urban counties that are
eligible as entitlement grantees of the
CDBG program.
Estimation Number of Respondents:
There are currently 185 qualified urban
counties participating in the CDBG
program that must requalify every three
years.
Frequency of Response: On average,
two new counties qualify each year. The
burden on new counties is greater than
for existing counties that requalify. The
Department estimates new grantees use,
on average, 100 hours to review
instructions, contact communities in the
county, prepare and review agreements,

obtain legal opinions, have agreements
executed at the local and county level,
and prepare and transmit copies of
required documents to HUD. The
Department estimates that counties that
are requalifying use, on average, 60
hours to complete these actions. The
time savings on requalification is
primarily a result of a grantee’s ability
to use agreements with no specified end
date. Use of such ‘‘renewable’’
agreements enables the grantee to
merely notify affected participating
UGLGs in writing that their agreement
will automatically be renewed unless
the UGLG terminates the agreement in
writing, rather than executing a new
agreement every three years.
