SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Choice Neighborhoods Evaluation,
Phase II.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Type of Request: New.
Form Number: No forms.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD is
conducting an evaluation of the Choice
Neighborhoods Initiative, focused on
the initial round of grants funded in
August 2011. This evaluation requires
the collection of information from
households living in the Choice
Neighborhoods sites. Phase I, approved
by the Office of Management and
Budget under control number 2528–
0286, involved a baseline survey of
households (https://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=
201203-2528-001). Phase II, proposed
here, involves tracking baseline survey
respondents. The purpose of Phase II
tracking is to maintain contact and
location information for households that
participated in the Choice
Neighborhoods Demonstration Studies’
Baseline Survey to analyze household
mobility patterns and achieve a strong
response rate on any follow up surveys
that the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) may
conduct.
The tracking effort relies primarily on
passive tracking strategies that use data
obtained from HUD’s PIC and TRACS
systems, Choice Grantees, National
Change of Address (NCOA) Database,
and Accurint, to update the contact
information for households. Active
tracking strategies are used to
complement passive strategies.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
This information collection will affect
approximately 1,697 households that
participated in the Choice
Neighborhoods Demonstration Studies’
Baseline Survey in 2013–14 in five
cities—New Orleans, Chicago, Boston,
Seattle, and San Francisco. Affected
households include residents of HUD-
PO 00000
Frm 00099
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
assisted properties targeted by the
Choice Neighborhoods Initiative as well
as residents in the neighborhoods
surrounding those properties. The
respondents have all agreed to
participate in the study.
There are five active tracking
strategies that will directly affect Panel
members:
1. Three quarters each year, panel
members will receive a card/flyer with
a toll-free number and Web site address
set up for this study that will give
respondents the opportunity to update
their contact information online or by
phone. We estimate that 25 percent of
respondents (424) will respond to this
flyer and it will take at most 5 minutes.
This activity is estimated to result in
424 responses, 101.76 hours, and $1,387
of burden per year.
2. Once a year, the flyer/card will also
contain a perforated mailer and a
postage-paid business reply envelope,
providing more opportunity for each
panel member to update their contact
information. We estimate that 90
percent of target development Panel
members (675) and 50 percent of
neighborhood Panel members (474) will
respond to this flyer and it will take at
most 5 minutes. This activity is
estimated to result in $1,149 responses,
91.92 hours, and $1,253 of burden per
year.
3. DIR will initiate follow-up phone
calls to determine if the most current
telephone number(s) in the contact
database are correct. This action will
only become necessary if there is no
response to the annual mailers and there
is no online update and the postcard/
flyer is returned. DIR estimates that
about half of the neighborhood sample
(474) and 10 percent of the target
development sample (74) will require a
follow-up phone call. We estimate this
call will take 5 minutes. We estimate
that this activity will be successful for
50% of households (237 neighborhood
and 37 target). This activity is estimated
to result in 274 responses, 21.92 hours,
and $299 of burden per year.
4. After a pre-determined number of
unsuccessful telephone attempts (e.g.,
3–5), a DIR field locator will visit the
household to determine if the head of
household still lives there. We estimate
about 50 percent of the previous cases
are expected to be resolved by telephone
contact, with the remaining 50 percent
(237 neighborhood and 37 target) being
assigned to a field locator. We estimate
this field location contact will take 5
minutes. This activity is estimated to
result in 274 responses, 21.92 hours,
and $299 of burden per year.
