The subject information collection is required to for the competitive grant applications and to ensure eligibility of applicants for funding. This extension further standardizes the format of information previously included in the information collections for grant applications, but does not significantly increase the information burden.
This is a reinstatement of a previously approved collection. The HUD form 2880 is being added to this collection. HUD form 2880, the Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report, is required all entities applying for assistance from HUD for a specific project or activity in excess of $200,000 during the fiscal year. The collection is removing HUD 424 Supp. Form, because the information is no longer collected on this form and has been discontinued.
