A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: HUD Standardized Grant Application 
Forms.
    OMB Approval Number: 2501-0017.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Form Number: SF-424; HUD-2880; HUD-424 CB; HUD-424 CBW; HUD-96011.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
Approval is sought for extension of HUD standardized forms which are 
used by various HUD competitive grant programs in the grant application 
process. The HUD Common Budget Form--(HUD-CB), the Common Budget Form 
Worksheet (HUD-CBW), and the HUD Matrix (HUD-M) are used to offer 
standardized grant application processes for several HUD programs. The 
policy of standardization is in accordance with the provisions of the 
Federal Financial Assistance Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-107, 
signed November 20, 1999). In addition, the collection references a 
number of standard forms from the government wide SF Family of Forms. 
These forms are used for all HUD applications. However, the burden 
associated with those forms is not reflected in this collection because 
that burden is reflected in Office of Management and Budget sponsored 
government-wide information collections.
    The HUD Form 2880 is being added to this collection. HUD Form 2880, 
the Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report, is required of all 
entities applying for assistance from HUD for a specific project or 
activity in excess of $200,000 during the fiscal year. The collection 
is removing HUD 424 SUPP because the information is no longer collected 
and has been continued.
