SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed

The Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and
affecting agencies concerning the proposed collection of information
to: (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2)
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (3) Enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond;
including through the use of appropriate automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
This notice also lists the following information:
Title of Form: Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income
Persons.
OMB Control Number: 25290043.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The
information will be used by the Department to monitor program
recipients' compliance with Section 3. HUD Headquarters will use the
information to assess the results of the Department's efforts to meet
the statutory objectives of Section 3. Also, the data collected will be
used by recipients as a self-monitoring tool. If the information is not
collected, HUD will be unable to prepare the mandatory reports to
Congress or to assess the effectiveness of Section 3.

hours.
