A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Community Development Block Grant 
Entitlement Program.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0077.
    Type of Request: reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
request identifies the estimated reporting burden associated with 
information that CDBG entitlement grantees will report in IDIS for 
CDBG-assisted activities, recordkeeping requirements, and reporting 
requirements. Grantees are encouraged to update their accomplishments 
in IDIS on a quarterly basis. In addition, grantees are required to 
retain records necessary to document compliance with statutory and 
regulatory requirements, Executive Orders, 2 CFR part 200 requirements, 
and determinations required to be made by grantees as a determination 
of eligibility. Grantees are required to prepare and submit their 
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports, which 
demonstrate the progress grantees make in carrying out CDBG-assisted 
activities listed in their consolidated plans. This report is due to 
HUD 90 days after the end of the grantee's program year. The 
information required for any particular activity is generally based on 
the eligibility of the activity and which of the three national 
objectives (benefit low- and moderate-income persons; eliminate/prevent 
slums or blight; or meet an urgent need) the grantee has determined 
that the activity will address.
