Title of Proposal: Revised Congregate Housing Services Program
(CHSP).
OMB Control Number: 2502-0485.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
information is basic to the ongoing operations of the Congregate
Housing Services Program (CHSP). It supports statutory requirements and
program and management controls that prevent fraud, waste and
mismanagement. The controls must be maintained as long as current
grants are in operation, or until such time as Congress otherwise
disposes of this program. Section 802 of the National Affordable
Housing Act authorizes/requires matching funds and participant fee
collections that are reported on information collection forms. The CHSP
rule at 24 CFR 700.155(d) requires grantees to submit those forms
required by the Secretary, which are included in the CHSP Handbook
4640.1.
Agency forms, if applicable: HUD 90006, HUD 90198, HUD 91178-A, HUD
91180-A, HUD 91180-B.
Members of affected public: CHSP grantees with 111 grants. An
estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the
information collection is 5,570, the number of respondents is 565, the
frequency of response is once a month to once a year, and the hours of
response are on average 2.77 per response.
Status of the proposed information collection: Extension.
Authority: Section 236 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: April 17, 1997.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
