    Title of Proposal: Optional Relocation Payment Claim Forms.
    OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2506-0016.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Application for displacement/relocation assistance for persons 
(families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations and farms) 
displaced by, or temporarily relocated for, certain HUD programs. No 
changes are being made for Forms HUD-40054, HUD-40055, HUD-40056, HUD-
40057, HUD-40058, HUD-40061, and HUD-40072.
    A new form HUD-40030, ``Claim for Temporary Relocation Expenses 
(Residential Moves)'' has been added based on requests from HUD program 
participants for such a form to help them calculate payments. Revised 
government-wide URA regulations were published by the Department of 
Transportation on January 4, 2005 (effective February 3, 2005). Under 
the regulations, agencies are required to reimburse residential 
occupants of a dwelling who will not be permanently displaced for all 
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with temporary 
relocation. These expenses may include moving expenses and increased 
housing costs during the temporary relocation (49 CFR 24.2(9)(ii)(D), 
Appendix A).
