Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Changes made to this submission includes the following items listed: - Forms that are no longer used by HUD or by the RCB program were removed (HUD 96011, SF424 Supplement, HUD 424CB), thus reducing the overall burden of collection. - The hour estimates for SF-424, SF-424B, SF-LLL, and the SF-425 were updated to be zero per guidance from HUD’s PRA office. - Included a new HUD budget form, the Multi-Year Budget, to more accurately collect budget information relevant to the RCB program structure and design, and which will be more effective for both the applicants/grantees and the federal government. This change in the collection of information will reduce the burden for the applicants because the form is less difficult to use and apply to the RCB program than the previous budget form. Also, by using a relevant budget form at the time of application, the grantees that are selected will have a budget that is ready to go and will not need to recreate one that meets the specific RCB program expectations post award. - Added the SF-424B Form to be consistent with HUD requirements. - Added the SF-425 to reflect its collection during post-award reporting. - Updated the estimated number of hours to complete each Factor to more accurately reflect the time it takes to plan a proposed RCB program. - Updated the estimate for the hourly wage for applicant work hours to allow for inflation and expected increases in wages over time. - Updated the number of reviewers (from two to three) and the number of applications expected to be received (from 30 to 20) to more closely match actual amounts observed in recent competition. - Updated the hourly rate used to calculate reviewer time to reflect the currently approved hourly rate standard provided by HUD.
