    A. Overview of Information Collection

        Title of Information Collection: Housing Trust Fund (HTF).
        OMB Approval Number: 2506-0215.
        Type of Request Extension of currently approved collection.
        Form Number: 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
    (12 U.S.C. 4568(c)(10)(B) and 24 CFR 93.400(d)(1)) and the regulatory
    5-year expenditure deadline (24 CFR 93.400(d)(2)). The project-specific
    property, tenant, owner, and financial data is used to make program
    management decisions about how well program participants and grantees
    are achieving the statutory objectives of the HTF Program. Program
    management reports are generated by IDIS to provide data on the status
    of grantees' 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 (24 CFR 93.404),
    eligible activities (24 CFR 93.200), and eligible costs (24 CFR
    93.201). Other information collected under 24 CFR part 93, 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 that commits funds to a project
    (24 CFR 93.404) demonstrates an HTF grantee's compliance with
    requirements relating to commitments, project eligibility (24 CFR
    93.200), tenant protections (24 CFR 93.303), and eligible costs (24 CFR
    93.201).and is required to ensure that the HTF grantee and property
    owner comply with these important elements of the HTF program. Written
    agreements are 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.
