A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Housing Trust Fund.
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0215.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: SF-1199A, HUD-27055.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
information collected through the Integrated Disbursement and 
Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR 93.402) is used by HUD Field Offices, 
HUD Headquarters, and HTF grantees. The information on program funds 
committed and disbursed is used by HUD to track grantee performance and 
to determine compliance with the statutory 24-month commitment deadline 
and the regulatory 5-year expenditure deadline (Sec.  93.400(d)). The 
project-specific property, tenant, owner, and financial data is used to 
make program management decisions about how well program participants 
are achieving the statutory objectives of the HTF Program. Program 
management reports are generated by IDIS to provide data on the status 
of program participants' commitment and disbursement of HTF funds. 
These reports are provided to HUD staff as well as to HTF grantees.
    Financial, project, tenant and owner documentation are used to 
determine compliance with HTF Program cost limits (Sec.  93.404), 
eligible activities (Sec.  93.200), and eligible costs (Sec.  93.201). 
Other information collected under Subpart H (Other Federal 
Requirements) is primarily intended for local program management and is 
only viewed by HUD during routine monitoring visits. The written 
agreement with the owner for long-term obligation (Sec.  93.404(b)) and 
tenant protections (Sec.  93.303) are required to ensure that the 
property owner complies with these important elements of the HTF 
Program and are also reviewed by HUD during monitoring visits. HUD 
reviews all other data collection requirements during monitoring to 
assure compliance with the requirements of the Act and other related 
laws and authorities.
    HUD tracks grantee performance and compliance with the requirements 
of 24 CFR parts 91 and 93. Grantees use the required information in the 
execution of their program, and to gauge their own performance in 
relation to stated goals.
