A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: ONAP Training and Technical 
Assistance Evaluation Form.
    OMB Approval Number: Pending OMB Approval.
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Form Number: Form HUD-5879.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination 
Reauthorization Act (NAHASDA) authorizes funding for the Indian Housing 
Block Grant (IHBG) program that supports the development, management, 
and operation of affordable homeownership and rental housing; 
infrastructure development; and other forms of housing assistance 
intended for low-income persons. Federally-recognized Native American 
and Alaska Native tribes, tribally-designated housing entities, and the 
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands are eligible to receive IHBG funds. 
HUD's Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) administers the IHBG 
program and offers contracted training and technical assistance to IHBG 
recipients on program requirements. ONAP's Notice of Funding 
Availability for training and technical assistance services includes 
the requirement for the contractor(s) to use an OMB-approved evaluation 
form at all ONAP-sponsored events. At the end of each training and 
technical assistance event, participants are invited to voluntarily 
complete the Training and Technical Assistance Evaluation Form (form 
HUD-5879) to assess training and technical assistance effectiveness and 
solicit ideas for improvement. Form HUD-5879 is a one-page survey 
instrument and does not collect any personally identifiable 
information, including a participant's name.
