The increase in the number of respondents for the SF-425, Federal Financial Report, is primarily due to expanded programmatic financial reporting requirements to ensure that federal funds are not being used fraudulently, wasted, or abused per Executive Order(s) by the new administration. Participation and the implementation of grant initiatives issued by HUD require standardized financial reporting. As HUD continues to prioritize transparency and oversight of federal funds, more grant recipients—including subrecipients and newly eligible entities—are now required to submit the SF-425 to ensure consistent financial accountability across programs. This growth aligns with efforts to strengthen compliance with OMB guidance and improve the quality of financial data reported to federal agencies.
