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

clarity of the information to the collected; and (4) Minimize the

including through the use of appropriate automated collection

    Title of Proposal: Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control Grant 
Programs Data Collection--Progress Reporting.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2539-0008.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
data collection is designed to provide timely information to HUD 
regarding the implementation progress of the grantees on carrying out 
Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control Grant Programs. The information 
collection will also be used to provide Congress with status reports as 
required by the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act 
(Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992).
    Agency form numbers, if applicable: HUD-96006.
    Members of affected public: State, tribal, local governments, not-
for-profit institutions and for-profit firms located in the U.S. and 
its territories.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including the number of respondents, frequency 
of response, and hours of response: Number of respondents=210; 
Frequency of response=4; Hours of response=8; Total Burden Hours=6,720.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Revision.
    Additional Information: The obligation to respond to this 
information collection is mandatory. Due to the improvements and 
simplification made to the reporting process, we expect the actual 
total burden hours to be substantially less than the estimated total 
burden hours.

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

    Dated: October 23, 2003.
