necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2)

    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Revised Congregate Housing Services Program 
(CHSP).
    OMB Control Number: 2502-0485.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
information is basic to the ongoing operations of the Congregate 
Housing Services Program (CHSP). It supports statutory requirements and 
program and management controls that prevent fraud, waste and 
mismanagement. The controls must be maintained as long as current 
grants are in operation, or until such time as Congress otherwise 
disposes of this program. Section 802 of the National Affordable 
Housing Act authorizes/requires matching funds and participant fee 
collections that are reported on information collection forms. The CHSP 
rule at 24 CFR 700.155(d) requires grantees to submit those forms 
required by the Secretary, which are included in the CHSP Handbook 
4640.1.
    Agency forms, if applicable: HUD 90006, HUD 90198, HUD 91178-A, HUD 
91180-A, HUD 91180-B.
    Members of affected public: CHSP grantees with 111 grants. An 
estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection is 5,570, the number of respondents is 565, the 
frequency of response is once a month to once a year, and the hours of 
response are on average 2.77 per response.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Extension.

    Authority: Section 236 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: April 17, 1997.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
