Pursuant to the Federal Housing
Enterprises Financial Security and

amended by HERA, Division A, eligible
HTF grantees are the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Guam, the
Commonwealth of Northern Mariana
Islands, and the United States Virgin
Islands. In accordance with Section
1338(c)(4)(A) of the Act, this notice
announces the formula allocation
amount for each eligible HTF grantee.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

Act to add a new section 1337 entitled
‘‘Affordable Housing Allocations’’ and a
new section 1338 entitled ‘‘Housing
Trust Fund.’’ HUD’s implementing
regulations are codified at 24 CFR part
93. Congress authorized the HTF with
the stated purpose of: (1) Increasing and
preserving the supply of rental housing
for extremely low-income families with
incomes between 0 and 30 percent of
area median income and very lowincome families with incomes between
30 and 50 percent of area median
income, including homeless families,

and (2) increasing homeownership for
extremely low-income and very lowincome families. Section 1337 of the Act
provides for the HTF (and other
programs) to be funded with an
affordable housing set-aside by Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac. The total setaside amount is equal to 4.2 basis points
(.042 percent) of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac’s new mortgage purchases,
a portion of which is for the HTF.
Section 1338 of the Act directs HUD to
establish, through regulation, the
formula for distribution of amounts
made available for the HTF. The statute
specifies the factors to be used for the
formula and priority for certain factors.
The factors and methodology HUD uses
to allocate HTF funds among eligible
grantees are established in the HTF
regulation. The funding announced for
Fiscal Year 2021 through this notice is
$692,898,860.92. Appendix A to this
notice provides the names of the
grantees and the amounts of the awards.

To
request additional information about
this ICR, contact Daryll Pope by email
at [email protected], or by telephone at
(804) 261–2630.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the USGS; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the USGS enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (5) how might the
USGS minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before

information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The USGS administers the
National Ground-Water Monitoring
Network which was developed through
work with the Federal Advisory
Committee on Water Information
(ACWI) and its Subcommittee on
Ground Water (SOGW). This network is
required as part of Public Law 111–11,
Subtitle F—Secure Water: Section 9507,
42 U.S.C. 10367, ‘‘Water Data
Enhancement by United States
Geological Survey.’’ The NGWMN
consists of an aggregation of wells and
spring from existing Federal, State,
Tribal, and local groundwater
monitoring networks. To support data

providers for the NGWMN, the USGS
will be providing funding through
cooperative agreements to waterresource agencies that collect
groundwater data. The USGS will be
soliciting applications for funding that
will request information from the
Agency collecting the data. Elements
will include contact information (phone
number and email address), and a
proposal describing their proposed work
in support of the NGWMN. The
proposal will describe the groundwater
networks to be included in the
NGWMN, the purpose of the networks,
and the Principal aquifers that are
monitored. Proposals may include work
to become a new data provider to the
NGWMN, support for maintaining
connections to agency databases, and
work to enhance NGWMN sites
(updating metadata, well maintenance,
well drilling, and support for
continuous water-level monitoring
equipment). The proposal would require
estimates of costs to complete the above
tasks and a timeline for planned
completion. The proposal will be
reviewed by the USGS and the NGWMN
Program Board who will make funding
recommendations.
