    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Information Collection:
    OMB Approval Number: 2506-0183.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: HUD-40090-3a.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
submission is to request an extension of a currently approved 
collection for reporting burden associated with the Technical 
Submission phase of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Application. 
This submission is limited to the Technical Submission process under 
the CoC Program interim rule, as authorized by the HEARTH Act. 
Applicants who are successful in the CoC Program Competition are 
required to submit more detailed technical information before grant 
agreement. The information to be collected will be used to ensure that 
technical requirements are met prior to the execution of a grant 
agreement. The technical requirements relate to a more extensive 
description of the budgets for administration costs, timelines for 
project implementation, match documentation and other project specific 
documentation, and information to support the resolution of grant 
conditions. HUD will use this detailed information to determine if a 
project is financially feasible and whether all proposed activities are 
eligible. All information collected is used to carefully consider 
conditional applicants for funding. If HUD collects

less information, or collected it less frequently, the Department could 
not make a final determination concerning the eligibility of applicants 
for grant funds and conditional applicants would not be eligible to 
sign grant agreements and receive funding. To see the regulations for 
the CoC Program and applicable supplementary documents, visit HUD's 
Homeless Resource Exchange page at https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/. The statutory provisions and the implementing interim 
rule (also found at 24 CFR part 587) that govern the program require 
the information provided by the Technical Submission.
    Respondents: Applicants that are successful in the Continuum of 
Care Homeless Assistance Grant competition.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 750.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 750.
    Frequency of Response: 1 time annually.
    Average Hours per Response: 8.
    Total Estimated Burdens: The total number of hours needed for all 
reporting is 126,000 hours.
