HUD is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the information collection described below. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD is requesting comment from all interested parties on the proposed collection of information. The purpose of the notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment.
Overall burden hours are reduced through automated data and reporting. The calculation of burden hours in this document has changed from 395,973 hours to 393,338 hours for the following reasons: (1) the reduction in the number of abbreviated strategies completed by grantees; (2) the change in the number of localities from 1205 to 1216; (2) the addition of Housing Trust Fund (HTF) requirements (FR-5246-I-03) to the consolidated plan; and, (3) the addition of broadband and resiliency requirements (FR-5891-F-02) to the consolidated plan. HTF, broadband and resiliency requirements are specific to the development of the strategic plan. The burden hours for the annual action plan and the annual performance reporting would not change.
