Required Post‑Award Reporting
If your organization receives a Rural Capacity Building (RCB) grant, HUD is proposing post‑award reporting using the SF‑425 form and the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting System (DRGR). The collection covers items like DRGR activation, action plan setup and revisions, semi‑annual reports, and vouchers with response frequencies ranging from 1 to 12 times per year.
Estimated Annual Time and Cost Burden
HUD estimates the information collection will produce 250 responses totaling 370 burden hours and an annual cost of $21,589.50 (based on a $58.35/hour rate). The agency estimates an average hours per response of 370 hours and frequencies that vary between 1 and 12 responses per year.
Semi‑Annual Reports Drive Largest Burden
HUD estimates semi‑annual report submissions require 8 hours per submission, with 15 respondents submitting 2 each per year, totaling 240 annual hours and an annual cost of $14,004.00. This single recurring item is the largest line item in the burden table.
60‑Day Public Comment Window
HUD is seeking public comment on this proposed information collection and will accept comments through June 9, 2026. Interested parties can submit feedback at www.regulations.gov or to the named HUD contact.
