Copies of the proposed data collection instruments and other available documents may be obtained from Mr. Dornan. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended). This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected 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 Proposal: Life after Transitional Housing: Family Follow-up Interview. Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The Department of Housing and Urban Development has spent over $7 billion of public funds supporting Transitional Housing for homeless individuals and families. There is little research, however, that focuses on what the impact of that substantial public investment has meant in the lives of homeless people. This interview protocol is structured to find out what happens to formerly homeless families once they leave HUD-assisted Transitional Housing and what the impact of Transitional Housing is on the lives of those families. The Department originally submitted this survey for OMB review in June 2005. Completion of the participant follow-up survey by July 2007, the 12-month end-date for those participants who joined the study last, demands extension of OMB approval from April through July 2007. Members of Affected Public: Members of the following group will be surveyed: The mother and one child of a sample of 200 families who have left HUDassisted Transitional Housing. Estimation of the total numbers of hours needed to prepare the information VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:37 Feb 14, 2007 Jkt 211001 collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response: Approximately 200 families will be interviewed once upon leaving the Transitional Housing and three times thereafter, at 3-, 6- and 12month intervals. Forty-five minutes was scheduled for the initial interview, and 30 minutes for each of the follow-up ones. The total respondent burden would be 100 hours. Status of the Proposed Information Collection: Pending OMB approval. Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. Dated: February 5, 2007.
