A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Self-Help Homeownership 
Opportunity Program (SHOP).
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0157.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-424CB, HUD-2880, HUD-2993, HUD-2995, HUD-96011.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
is a proposed information collection for submission requirements under 
the SHOP Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). HUD requires 
information in order to ensure the eligibility of SHOP applicants and 
the compliance of SHOP proposals, to rate and rank SHOP applications, 
and to select applicants for grant awards. Information is collected on 
an annual basis from each applicant that responds to the SHOP NOFA. The 
SHOP NOFA requires applicants to submit specific forms and narrative 
responses.
    Respondents: National and regional non-profit self-help housing 
organizations (including consortia) that apply for funds in response to 
the SHOP NOFA.
    Frequency of Submission: Annually in response to the issuance of a 
SHOP NOFA.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, hours per 
response, frequency of response, and total hours of response for all 
respondents.
    The estimates of the average hours needed to prepare the 
information collection are based on information provided by previous 
applicants. Actual hours will vary depending on the proposed scope of 
the applicant's program, the applicant's geographic service area and 
the number of affiliate organizations. The information burden is 
generally greater for national organizations with numerous affiliates.
