The number of grantees was increased from 36 to 48 to reflect changes in number of active grants. • Reduced number of respondents for the Code of Conduct from 36 to 8 as it is rare that grantees need to submit this information and it is only needed at the time of grant funding. • The following forms were removed as they are no longer used: HUD-2993 Acknowledgement of Application Receipt (2577-0259) and Final Financial Status Report (Form SF-269-A). • Burden hours were added to the following forms (.25 hour for each form).
