SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

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 July 22, 2016 at
81 FR 47815.
Title of Information Collection: HOME
Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME).
OMB Control Number: 2506–0171.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD 40093, SF 1199A,
HUD 27055, HUD 40107, HUD 4010.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
information collected through HUD’s
Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR
92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices,
HUD Headquarters, and HOME Program
Participating Jurisdictions (PJs). The
information on program funds
committed and disbursed is used by
HUD to track PJ performance and to

determine compliance with the
statutory 24-month commitment
deadline and the regulatory 5-year
expenditure deadline (§ 92.500(d)). The
project-specific property, tenant, owner,
and financial data is used to compile
annual reports to Congress required at
Section 284(b) of the HOME Investment
Partnerships Act, as well as to make
program management decisions about
how well program participants are
achieving the statutory objectives of the
HOME Program. Program management
reports are generated by IDIS to provide
data on the status of program
participants’ commitment and
disbursement of HOME funds. These
reports are provided to HUD staff as
well as to HOME PJs.
Management reports required in
conjunction with the Annual
Performance Report (§ 92.509) are used
by HUD Field Offices to assess the
effectiveness of locally designed
programs in meeting specific statutory
requirements and by Headquarters in
preparing the Annual Report to
Congress. Specifically, these reports
permit HUD to determine compliance
with the requirement that PJs provide a
25 percent match for HOME funds
expended during the Federal fiscal year
(Section 220 of the Act) and that
program income be used for HOME
eligible activities (Section 219 of the
Act), as well as the Women and
Minority Business Enterprise
requirements (§ 92.351(b)).
Financial, project, tenant and owner
documentation is used to determine
compliance with HOME Program cost
limits (Section 212(e) of the Act),
eligible activities (§ 92.205), and eligible
costs (§ 92.206), as well as to determine
whether program participants are
achieving the income targeting and
affordability requirements of the Act
(Sections 214 and 215). Other
information collected under Subpart H
(Other Federal Requirements) is
primarily intended for local program
management and is only viewed by
HUD during routine monitoring visits.
The written agreement with the owner
for long-term obligation (§ 92.504) and
tenant protections (§ 92.253) are
required to ensure that the property
owner complies with these important
elements of the HOME Program and are
also reviewed by HUD during
monitoring visits. HUD reviews all other
data collection requirements during
monitoring to assure compliance with
the requirements of the Act and other
related laws and authorities.
HUD tracks PJ performance and
compliance with the requirements of 24
CFR parts 91 and 92. PJs use the
required information in the execution of

ecosystem-level conservation based on

groups potentially impacted by
conservation actions, in conservation
