    Title of Proposal: HOPWA Annual Performance Reporting Requirements 
and Competitive/Renewal Grant Budget Summary Forms.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: These 
forms provide HUD with vital information to assess program evaluation 
and measure performance outcomes for the Housing Opportunities for 
Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. Competitive/Renewal grant recipients 
submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) and Formula grantees submit the 
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). These 
annual reports provide HUD with information about program beneficiaries 
in addition to enabling HUD to assess the success of the HOPWA program 
through the three performance goals of housing stability, prevention of 
homelessness, and access to care and support. Information collected in 
the reports allows HUD to fulfill reporting requirements for internal 
reporting requirements, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and 
other entities.
    OMB Control number: 2506-0133
    Agency form number: HUD-40110-B HOPWA Competitive and Renewal of 
Permanent Supportive Housing Project Budget Summary; HUD-40110-C Annual 
Progress Report (APR); and HUD-40110-D Consolidated Annual Performance 
and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
    Members of affected public: Formula and competitive grant 
recipients of the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) 
program.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: APR (96 respondents and total annual 
responses x 55 hours per response = 5,280 hours) + CAPER (124 
respondents and total annual responses x 40 hours per response = 4,960 
hours) + HOPWA Competitive & Renewal of Permanent Supportive Housing 
Project Budget Summary (35 respondents and total annual responses x 12 
hours per response = 420 hours) + Recordkeeping (255 respondents and 
total annual responses x 60 hours per response = 15,300) + Grant 
amendments and extensions (20 respondents and total annual responses x 
20 hours per response = 400 hours) + Uniform relocation act appeals 
process (2 respondents and total annual responses x 8 hours per 
response = 16 hours) + Environmental Review Recordkeeping (10 
respondents and total annual responses x 24 hours per response = 240 
hours) = 26,616 hours.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Revision of 
currently approved paperwork collection requirements, OMB number 2506-
0133.

    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: November 1, 2010.

Acting General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
