ACTION: Notice.

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

an expired information collection for the reporting burden associated 
with program and recordkeeping requirements that Emergency Solutions 
Grants (ESG) program recipients will be expected to implement and 
retain. This submission is limited to the record keeping burden under 
the ESG entitlement program, formerly titled, Emergency Shelter Grants

provisions and the implementing interim regulations (also found at 24

requirements.
