HUD's Office of Multifamily Housing Programs is requesting clearance for a revision of a current data collection designed to capture information from the Neighborhood Networks center paper and START business plans. The revision includes enhancements to the format of the online Strategic Tracking and Reporting Tool (START), collection of related data from an online Classification Tool, and contact verification information from an electronic postcard data collection. The data collection will assist HUD in obtaining up-to-date information regarding Neighborhood Networks centers.
None
US Code: 12 USC 1701z-1 et seq. Name of Law: Housing Act of 1937
The change in overall burden from the previous OMB submission reflects enhancements to the START system, the elimination of paper business plan submissions, and an increase in the hours needed to complete START business plans. Similar to the previous submission, the proposed data collection combines information from multiple vehicles. However, the current data collection includes a brief postcard (as opposed to a full-scale survey), and a Classification Tool.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
