    The document outlines the HUD-424-CBW Grant Application Detailed Budget Worksheet, a required form for federal grant proposals that ensures applicants provide comprehensive budget information. The form includes sections for various budget categories, such as Personnel (Direct Labor), Fringe Benefits, Travel, Equipment, Supplies, Consultants, Contracts, Construction Costs, and Other Direct Costs. Each section specifies how costs should be itemized and what funding sources (HUD Share, State Share, etc.) can be included. It emphasizes the importance of accurately reporting estimated costs, especially for labor, transportation, and equipment, while also providing detailed guidance on the calculation of indirect costs. The worksheet aims to facilitate effective budget management and accountability in grant-funded projects, allowing HUD to assess funding requests systematically. Specific instructions clarify how to report different types of expenses and their respective contributions from federal and local sources, guiding applicants in aligning their proposals with HUD requirements. The worksheet must be submitted by grant applicants to support their funding requests and adheres to a structured format for clarity and consistency in federal grant applications. This form is part of a larger framework that informs the funding opportunities provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
    The memorandum from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) addresses the Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) related to the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2025. It confirms that updates in the new Notice of Funding Availability (FR-6900-N-13) do not significantly alter the previous notice (FR-6800-N-13), thus negating the need for a new Environmental Impact Statement. The program aims to reduce lead hazards in housing and is funded through appropriations from preceding federal legislation. The memorandum, signed by various HUD officials, attaches the relevant guidance and confirms the ongoing applicability of previous assessments. This document serves to inform stakeholders about funding and environmental considerations for lead hazard reduction efforts, emphasizing the continuity of established environmental evaluations in light of updated funding announcements.
    The document provides guidance on Indirect Cost Information for applicants and recipients of federal assistance under HUD programs, as outlined by the OMB Form HUD-426. It instructs applicants to indicate how they will charge indirect costs, offering options for not charging indirect costs, using a de minimis rate, or a specific indirect cost rate approved by a cognizant agency. The form requires basic information such as the federal program title, applicant's legal name, indirect cost rate details, and the submission type. A certification section mandates the signature of an authorized representative, affirming the accuracy of the information under penalty of perjury. Additionally, the document emphasizes compliance with 2 CFR part 200 regarding indirect costs and outlines the reporting burden for respondents. This information is essential for ensuring accountability and integrity in the disbursement of HUD assistance, benefiting grant program applicants by clarifying requirements related to indirect costs.
    The Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), seeks to protect children under six from lead poisoning by funding local governments to implement comprehensive lead hazard control programs in eligible housing.
