Supporting Statement for Information Collection--Notice of Fund-
Availability--FY 1994--Indian Applicants Under the Home Program
A. Justification
1. This information collection is required in connection with the
publication in the Federal Register of a Notice of Fund Availability
(NOFA) which announced the availability of $12.750 million for the HOME
Program for Indian tribes. The NOFA is authorized by the HOME
Investment Partnerships Act (Pub. L. 101-625, dated 11/28/90). The HOME
Program provides funds to Indian tribes to expand the supply of
affordable housing for very low-income and low-income persons. HUD
regulations 24 CFR part 92, subpart M apply specifically to the Indian
HOME Program. The HOME Act was amended 10/28/92 by the Housing and
Community Development (HCDA) Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-550). Some
provisions of the HCDA 1992 directly affect the enactment. Copies of
the 1994 HOME NOFA and applicable HUD regulations are attached.
The information collection requirements imposed by the NOFA are as
follows:
Section III (entirety)--Application requirements: Standard Form-
424, Form HUD-4121.1, Indian HOME Program Grants Comprehensive
Approach, Form HUD-4122.1, Indian HOME Program Grants Project Summary,
Form HUD-4123-I, Indian HOME Program Grants, Cost Summary, Form HUD-
4125-I, Indian HOME Program Grants, Implementation Schedule, Form HUD-
4126-I, Indian HOME Program Grant Certifications, narrative and
supporting documentation that are responsive to the selection criteria
including a description of how the HOME funds will be used, and the
various kinds of information that are necessary in order to apply the
selection criteria and rating factors.
2. The information is necessary so that the applicants can apply
and compete for funding opportunities under this NOFA. The information
provided by the applicants will be reviewed by HUD and evaluated
against rating criteria for possible funding. The applicants will be
notified of their selection/rejection.
3. We have not considered the use of improved technology since
there is no other way to obtain the information except directly from
the entities.
4. There will be no duplication of information.
5. There is no similar information already available which could be
used or modified for this purpose.
6. We attempted to minimize the burden on the applicants by
developing an application which limits the number of pages (not to
exceed five).
7. The information will be collected on a one-time basis.
8. There are no special circumstances that require the collection
to be conducted in a manner which is inconsistent with the guidelines
in 5 CFR 1320.6.
9. There has been no outside consultation on this information
collection.
10. No assurances of confidentiality is provided.
11. No sensitive questions are asked.
12. We do not estimate that there will be any additional cost to
the Federal Government. The applicants will be reviewed in accordance
with HUD's existing review and monitoring requirements. Annual cost to
the respondent is estimated to be minimal since the application
submission may be prepared by the Indian Housing Authorities.
13. We estimate that the information requirements of the proposed
NOFA will have the following reporting burden:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number of respdts. Total Hours per Total No.

statistical use.
