A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: HUD Standard Grant Application 
Forms: Detailed Budget Form (HUD-424-CB), Budget Worksheet (HUD-
424CBW), Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), and the Third-
Party Documentation Facsimile Transmittal Form (HUD-96011).
    OMB Approval Number: 2501-0017.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, without change of a previously 
approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-424CB and HUD-424CBW.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
use of the Third-Party Documentation Facsimile Transmittal Form allows 
the Department to collect the same information electronically as we 
would for a paper-based application. It also produces an electronic 
version of the document that will be matched with the electronic 
application submitted through grants.gov to HUD. Estimation of the 
total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection 
including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of 
response: An estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare 
the forms for each grant application is 5 minutes per response, 
however, the burden will be assessed against each individual grant 
program submission under the Paperwork Reduction Act; number of 
respondents is 33,000 frequency of response is on the occasion of 
application for benefits.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

affected parties concerning the collection of information described in

    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to 
these questions.
