    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD's 
Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) will use the pre-award and 
post-award information collected to assess program compliance, monitor 
grantee performance throughout the grant term, and to report annually 
to Congress. HUD's Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) is 
responsible for managing the IHBG Formula and IHBG Competitive 
programs, as described below.
    IHBG Formula Program: The Native American Housing Assistance and 
Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) 
(NAHASDA) authorizes the IHBG Formula program what supports the 
development, management, and operation of affordable homeownership and 
rental housing; infrastructure development; and other forms of housing 
assistance intended for low-income persons. Federally recognized Native 
American tribes, Alaska Native villages, tribally designated housing 
entities, and a limited number of State-recognized tribes that were 
funded under the Indian Housing Program authorized by the U.S. Housing 
Act of 1937 are eligible to receive IHBG funds. Under the IHBG Formula 
Program, eligible recipients receive an equitable share of funds as 
appropriated by Congress.
    IHBG Competitive Program: Since 2018, Congress has appropriated 
additional funding under the IHBG Formula program for the IHBG 
Competitive Grant (IHBG-COMP), also under assistance listing 14.867. 
IHBG-COMP prioritizes projects that increase the availability of 
affordable housing in Tribal communities with consideration to extent 
of need and administrative capacity. The regulations and requirements 
governing the IHBG formula program apply to the IHBG Competitive 
program. The IHBG-COMP Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFO) are 
published on Grants.gov, where applicants submit applications.
    Annual Reporting Burden: The annual reporting burden hours are 
based on the estimates provided below.
