serving and what sort of services the
beneficiaries receive using grant funds.
The Summary Budget and the Annual
Program Budget make up the budget of
the grantee’s annual extension request.
Together the forms provide itemized
expenses for anticipated program costs
and a matrix of budgeted yearly costs.
The budget forms show the services
funded through the grant and
demonstrate how matching funds,
participant fees, and grant funds will be
used in tandem to operate the grant
program. Field staff approve the annual
budget and request annual extension
funds according to the budget. Field
staff can also determine if grantees are
meeting statutory and regulatory
requirements through the evaluation of
this budget.
HUD will use the Payment Voucher to
monitor use of grant funds for eligible
activities over the term of the grant. The
Grantee may similarly use the Payment
Voucher to track and record their
requests for payment reimbursement for
grant-funded activities.
Respondents: Non-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
49.
Estimated Number of Responses: 392.
Frequency of Response: Semiannually to annually.
Average Hours per Response: 2.
Total Estimated Burdens: 612.5.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond; including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.

Abstract: This notice concerns the
collection of information to inform
evaluation and selection of proposals for
NGGDPP funding. Annual NGGDPP
data preservation priorities are provided
in the Program Announcement.
Proposals are accepted from state
geological surveys requesting funds to
inventory, preserve, and make publicly
available geoscience collections and
data. Financial assistance is awarded
annually on a competitive basis
following the evaluation and ranking of
state proposals by a review panel
composed of representatives from the
Department of the Interior, state
geological surveys, and academic and
museum institutions. Since its inception
in 2007, NGGDPP has awarded 46 states
$7,043,000, which, when matched or
exceeded by the states, amounts to over
$14 million invested in the rescue and
preservation of valuable geoscientific
samples and data for research. To
submit a proposal, respondents must
complete a project narrative and submit
the application via www.grants.gov.
Grant recipients must complete a final
technical report at the end of the project
period. Narrative and report guidance is
available at http://
datapreservation.usgs.gov and in the
Program Announcement. Information
provided by respondents is proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552), implementation
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and data
