A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Congregate Housing Services 
Program.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0485.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-90003, HUD-90006, HUD-90198, HUD-91180-A, SF-425, 
HUD-91178-A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Completion of the Annual Report by grantees provides HUD with essential 
information about whom the grant is serving and what sort of services 
the beneficiaries receive using grant funds. The Summary Budget and the 
Annual Program Budget make up the budget of the grantee's annual 
extension request. Together the forms provide itemized expenses for 
anticipated program costs and a matrix of budgeted yearly costs. The 
budget forms show the services funded through the grant and demonstrate 
how matching funds, participant fees, and grant funds will be used in 
tandem to operate the grant program. Field staff approve the annual 
budget and request annual extension funds according to the budget. 
Field staff can also determine if grantees are meeting statutory and 
regulatory requirements through the evaluation of this budget.
    HUD will use the Payment Voucher to monitor use of grant funds for 
eligible activities over the term of the grant. The Grantee may 
similarly use the Payment Voucher to track and record their requests 
for payment reimbursement for grant-funded activities.
    Respondents: Non-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 49.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 392.
    Frequency of Response: Semi-annually to annually.
    Average Hours per Response: 2.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 612.5.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on

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.
