Short Statement: NOFA-related Collections: 1. The NOFAs continue to focus on evaluating eligibility, capacity, need, soundness of approach/plan, and match/leverage, with additions to the collection (necessary for the program): Rental Assistance Demonstration certification, Project-based voucher documentation, and Alignment with existing efforts documentation. 2. Overall, the NOFA-related collections have been streamlined as reflected in the removal of the following items: a. From Implementation applications: i. Eligible Neighborhoods Documentation – Inadequate School Documentation (HUD-53153) ii. Capacity - Education Implementation Documentation iii. LEED, green development, energy efficiency documentation iv. CFFP documentation v. Choice Neighborhoods Application Certification - Implementation Grants (HUD-53240) vi. Section 3 report vii. 96011 Third Party Facsimile Report b. From Planning applications: i. Eligible Neighborhoods Documentation – Inadequate School Documentation (HUD-53153) ii. Energy/green documentation iii. Category preferences documentation iv. Choice Neighborhoods Application Certifications - Planning Grants (HUD-53156) v. HUD-96011 Third Party Facsimile Report Non-NOFA related Collections: 3. These collections continue to focus on reporting and program management. However, the number of grantees by type has been adjusted. The prior approval for information collection was for a smaller group of Implementation grantees. The number of Implementation grantees has been increased. A document related to program management has been added (Certifications and Assurances for CN development). The number of Planning grantees has been reduced to reflect their completion. 4. A HUD form number was added to the Actual Cost Certificate (HUD-50163), which was obtained since prior collection approval. 5. A correction of the calculation of Non-NOFA Collections was made which reduced burden. Overall: 6. The salary amount was increased to reflect the 2018 general schedule pay table. 7. The above adjustments resulted in a reduction of 5,361.55 burden hours.
