    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
change to the existing ICRs and renewal of the CARES Act Reporting ICR 
will enable HUD to collect from recipients of large covered funds, 
which are defined as CARES Act grants that exceed $150,000 in the 
aggregate, the quarterly information required to be in compliance with 
the requirements outlined in Section 15011 of the CARES Act.
    This will revise and renew existing OMB control numbers 2506-0133, 
2506-0089, and 2506-0077, to help improve compliance with CARES Act 
requirements. This information will be reported by the grant recipients 
to the program offices within HUD, then aggregated with the related 
information

already approved. This aggregated information will form the required 
quarterly reporting for CARES Act funds that HUD submits to the 
Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC).
    A new information collection request under OMB control number 2353-
0123 is also being submitted that will allow the collection of grant 
recipient reporting information through a reporting portal. This portal 
is in development, and upon completion will enable certain HUD programs 
to collect and report information in line with CARES Act requirements.
