    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
is issuing this NOFO under the authority of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328, enacted December 29, 2022) 
to collect applications for the preservation and revitalization of 
manufactured housing and eligible manufactured housing communities 
(including pre-1976 mobile homes).
    Respondents: Local governments, state governments, tribal 
governments, community development financial institutions,

    Estimated Number of Responses: 100.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Hours per Response: 21.

    The estimated burden for this NOFO application collection includes 
HUD's Standardized Grant Application forms which have been reviewed and 
approved by OMB under control number: 2501-0017. HUD is collecting 
certifications from all applicants, and there is a specific 
certification form depending on each applicant type: local governments, 
state governments, tribal governments, community development financial 
institutions, cooperatives, manufactured housing communities, 
metropolitan planning organizations, multi-jurisdictional entities, 
non-entitlement units of general local government, and non-profits. 
Each applicant is only required to complete one certification form. The 
certification form collects information related to a variety of laws, 
including CDBG requirements and cross-cutting requirements. The 
applicant will be expected to review and sign the form.
    If an applicant wishes to engage in a partnership, all partners 
must submit a letter of intent to participate as part of the Grantee's 
application for PRICE funds. A letter of intent to participate and a 
binding cooperation, subrecipient, or developer agreement, or a 
contract, as applicable and contingent upon award, must be submitted 
with the Grantee's application for PRICE funds. The burden hours 
include submission of documentation of partnership, if required. 
Optional letter templates are included in the application package, 
which applicants may choose to use to satisfy these requirements.
