Short Statement: This is a renewal of a currently approved collection. There are no changes to the information being collected or how it is being collected. There is an increase in burden hours as there is an increased number of applicants and grantees. In addition to HUD-92910, applicants must submit forms SF-424 and HUD-2880 with their applications. After grant awards, grantees must submit SF-425 as required by the Cooperative agreement. The burden for SF-425 is included in the “Post Award Submission” burden. The estimates are based on actual Housing Counseling Training Grant Program awardee experience with the Training Grant NOFO. These charts do not affect how the housing counseling program is being administered. The NOFO requires the HUD-92910, SF-424, and HUD 2880. The Grant Cooperative Agreement requires the SF-425.
