    Description of the Need for the Information and its Proposed Use: 
Applicants of HUD Federal Financial Assistance are required to indicate 
intended results and impacts. Grant recipients report against their 
baseline performance standards. The collection automates response 
through a drop down table listing. This was done in response to 
concerns about the difficulty in putting information in the previously 
approved Logic Model form. The revised collection adds an additional 
requirement for addressing a series of tailored management questions 
and a return on investment statement when reporting back to HUD. The 
return on investment is a new concept for the Logic Model and HUD will 
issue a separate notice to further address the return on investment 
concept.
    Respondents: Individuals, Not-for-profit institutions, State, Local 
or Tribal Government, Business or other for-profit.
    Frequency of Submission: On occasion.
    Reporting Burden: This information collection is estimated to 
average 5 hours per submission. Of the estimated 11,000 grant 
applicant/recipients, approximately 6,600 report quarterly and 4,400 
report annually. Total annual reporting burden is estimated to be 
109,175 hours.
    Total Estimated Burden Hours: 109,175.
    Status: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. 35, as amended.

    Dated: May 9, 2006.
Lillian L. Deitzer,
Departmental Reports Management Officer, Office of the Chief 
Information Officer.
