[Docket No. FR-5376-N-124]


Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB; 
Emergency Comment Request; Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) Program 
Reporting; Notice of Proposed Information Collection for Public Comment

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information Officer, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed information collection requirement described 
below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for emergency review and approval, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the 
subject proposal.

DATES: Comments Due Date: January 4, 2011.

[[Page 80065]]


ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding 
this proposal. Comments must be received within fourteen (14) days from 
the date of this Notice. Comments should refer to the proposal by name/
or OMB approval number (2577-0218)) and should be sent to: Ross A. 
Rutledge, HUD Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; e-mail: 
[email protected]; Fax: 202-395-3086.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Colette Pollard, Departmental Reports 
Management Officer, QDAM, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
451 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410; e-mail 
[email protected]; telephone (202) 402-3400. This is not a toll-
free number. Copies of available documents submitted to OMB may be 
obtained from Ms. Pollard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This request for emergency processing is 
essential in order to implement the statutory changes to NAHASDA for 
fiscal year 2012. A standard PRA review would delay implementation of 
the revised IHP/APR until fiscal year 2013. The agency cannot 
reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under this part 
because the statutory changes accelerate the submission of the IHP. 
With implementation of the statutory changes, the IHP is due 75 days 
prior to the beginning of the grantee's fiscal year. For grantees with 
a fiscal year beginning October 1, 2011, the revised IHP will be due 
July 16, 2011, rather than July 1, 2012. The emergency clearance 
processing of the revised PRA is needed in order to provide IHBG 
recipients with sufficient time to complete the IHP prior to submission 
and provide training to all IHBG recipients on the revised form. 
Therefore, the use of the normal clearance procedures is reasonably 
likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information and is 
reasonably likely to cause a statutory deadline to be missed.
    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) Program 
Reporting.
    Description of Information Collection: Recipients of Indian Housing 
Block Grant (IHBG) funds provide plans for low-income housing programs 
in their communities and submit quarterly reports on funds drawn. 
Recipients may submit information to correct and/or challenge data used 
in annual housing assistance formula allocations. Additional 
requirements have been added: Recipients may purchase insurance from a 
nonprofit insurance entity approved by HUD. These entities must submit 
annual audit and actuarial reviews to HUD annually.
    OMB Control Number: 2577-0218.
    Agency Form Numbers: Form 52735 and 52735-AS Combined, HUD-272-I, 
HUD-4117, HUD-4119.
    Members of Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal.
    Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
responses, and hours of response: An estimation of the total number of 
hours needed to prepare the information collection is 366, the 
estimated number of respondents is 144, the frequency response is one 
time, and the estimated number of hours per response is 366.

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

    Dated: December 14, 2010.

Departmental Reports Management Officer, Office of the Chief
