    Title of Proposal: Congregate Housing Services Program (CHSP).
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2502-0485.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Completion of the Annual Report by grantees provides HUD with essential 
information about who the grant is serving and what sort of services 
the individual receive through the use of grant funds. The Summary 
Budget is a matrix of budgeted yearly costs, which shows the services 
funded through the grant and demonstrates how matching funds, 
participants fees, and grant funds will be used in tandem to operate 
the grant program. Field staff approve this annual budget and request 
annual extension funds according to the budget. Field staff can also 
determine if grantees are meeting statutory and regulatory requirements 
through the evaluation of this budget. HUD will use the Payment Voucher 
to monitor the use of grant funds for eligible activities over the term 
of the grant. The Grantee may similarly use the Payment Voucher to 
track and record their request for payment reimbursement for grant-
funded activities over the term of the grant. The grantee may similarly 
use the Payment Voucher to track and record their request for payment 
reimbursement for grant-funded activities.
    Agency from numbers, if applicable: HUD-90006, HUD-90198, HUD-
91180-A.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: The estimated number of respondents is 
81, the frequency of responses is annually, estimated time to compete 
is approximately 4 hours for HUD-90006; .25 hours for HUD-90198; 3.5 
hours for HUD-91180-A; and 2 hours for SF-269, and the total annual 
burden hours requested for this collection is 1,013.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Reinstatement with 
change, of previously approved collection for which approval has 
expired.

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

    Dated: June 1, 2001.
Sean G. Cassidy,
General Deputy, Assistant Secretary for Housing--Deputy Federal Housing 
Commissioner.
