Other changes** The public reporting burden for this collection is not different than the previously estimated time of 40 hours per response to complete the charts.  This includes the time for reviewing instruction, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. HUD’s Office of Housing Counseling is seeking approval for minor revisions which improve data quality, streamline grant applicant responses for housing counseling agencies, improve applicant understanding of the NOFA process, and streamline grant scoring for staff. The grant charts utilized by the Housing Counseling Program will continue to be used by housing counseling agencies as part of the required documents submitted with their grant proposal. Local Housing Counseling Agencies (LHCAs) will use form HUD-9906-L. Intermediaries, Multi-State Organizations, and State Housing Finance Agencies will use HUD-9906-P, with attachments for Charts A2 and D2. The grant charts limit the number of narrative writing responses for applicants, thereby reducing the administrative burden for grant applicants and HUD staff. Summaries of all changes to the NOFA and Grant Charts are attached. Previous PRA submissions for this form were made under OMB Control Number 2502-0261 Housing Counseling Program (expires 07/31/2019) under the Office of Housing Counseling (OHC), Office of Housing.
