A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA): Grant Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Closeout.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0133.
Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-4153, HUD-4154, HUD-4155, SF-425.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
The current Paperwork Reduction Act approval under OMB Control No. 2506-0133 covers reporting, record keeping, and application requirements for both the HOPWA formula and competitive grant programs. The competitive grant program includes new competitive grants and renewal/replacement grants. This revision applies to reporting and closeout requirements for all HOPWA grantees.
This submission requests to add additional data elements to form HUD-4155, remove forms that are no longer needed, remove pre-award information that will be covered with a child submission through the HUD generic information collection request under OMB Control Number 2501-0044, adjust language in form HUD-4154, update form HUD-4153 to reflect published Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs), and add grant closeout to the paperwork collection package with a new HOPWA grant closeout form.
The addition of information collection for grant closeout will apply to all HOPWA grantees. The use of a new HOPWA grant closeout certification form, the SF425, and all other relevant reports to the grant project will ensure grantees are able to close active grants when the project is complete by determining that all applicable administrative actions and all required work of the grant have been completed by the grantee.
HUD systematically reviews and conducts data analysis in order to prepare national and individual grantee performance profiles that are not only used to measure program performance against benchmark goals and objectives, but also to communicate the program's achievement and contributions towards Departmental strategic goals. HUD plans to continue using the data elements in this submission for these purposes.
Respondents: HOPWA competitive and renewal grant applicants, and all HOPWA formula, competitive, and renewal grantees.

| Grant Closeout (closeout certification, SF425, and all financial, performance, and other reports required as a condition of the grant) | 258.00 | 1.00 | 200.00 | 12.00 | 2,400.00 | 28.73 | 68,952.00 |
| Total | 884.00 | 826.00 | 30,780.00 | $884,309.40 |
HOPWA grantees and applicants may be required to respond to more than one piece of information collection. All annualized costs reflect staff time spent on tasks in the table. The hourly rate of $28.73 is based on a GS-9 for Rest of United States. 10,320 hours * $28.73 = $296,493.
[top] The estimated costs under this OMB approval number in this request is lower than previous approval. This accounts for the removal of forms HUD-40110-C/D, and removal of pre-award information. Updates on the chart also include the addition of grant closeout,
