Abstract: Recipients of Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds provide plans for low-income housing programs in their communities and submit quarterly reports on funds drawn. Recipients may submit information to correct and/or challenge data used in annual housing assistance formula allocations. Additional requirements have been added: Recipients may purchase insurance from a nonprofit insurance entity approved by HUD. These entities must submit annual audit and actuarial reviews to HUD annually.

Emergency Justfication: The proposal to create a combined IHP/APR reporting form is necessary for improving the quality of reported data and reducing the burden hours to complete the forms. HUD anticipates that the simplification of the IHP will reduce the average estimated hours to complete the IHP section of the IHP/APR. The simplification of the APR and combining it with the IHP enables recipients to avoid unnecessary data entry while eliminating the need to report on multiple open grants in each APR, thereby improving data quality and reducing reporting burden. In compliance with requirements of 5 CFR 1320.13, the agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under this part because the statutory changes accelerate the submission of the IHP starting in fiscal year 2011. With implementation of the statutory changes, the IHP is due 75 days prior to the beginning of the grantee’s fiscal year. For grantees with a fiscal year beginning in October 1, 2010, the revised IHP will be due July 16, 2010.
