In each of the 20 jurisdictions for the
study, local counseling agencies and
national counseling intermediaries will
be recruited to provide (a) online
education and telephone counseling and
(b) in-person education and counseling.
One national provider will be
responsible for the online education and
telephone counseling. Local counseling
agencies will be recruited to provide the
in-person education and counseling. In
each case, the counseling agencies will
be responsible for documenting the
counseling services provided to the
4,026 study participants assigned to
receive one of these types of counseling
(the remaining 2,975 study participants
constitute the control group). Staff of the
lenders will be asked to participate in
semi-structured interviews that seek to
understand the recruitment process and
provide the study team a weekly
outcome report for recruitment calls.
Staff at the counseling agencies will be
asked to participate in semi-structured
interviews that seek to understand
provision of counseling in each
jurisdiction and provide the study team
information on counseling and
education services that study
participants receive. The purpose of
these data collection activities is to
collect the information needed to
evaluate the impact of pre-purchase
housing counseling.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
None.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The average time per
client for lender staff to conduct a
recruitment call is 3 minutes, with
recruitment conducted with up to
87,500 potential homebuyers. The
average time per client for the 17,500
potential first-time homebuyers to
complete an eligibility assessment is 5
minutes. The average time per client for
the 7,000 potential study participants to
complete the consent form is 5 minutes.
The average time per client for the 7,000
enrolled study participants to complete
the baseline survey is 25 minutes. The
average time per study participant for
the 7,000 enrolled study participants to
complete each tracking letter is 5
minutes. There will be 9 tracking letters
issued over the course of 3 years. The
average time per client for the follow-up
interviews is 30 minutes. The average
time for each study participant’s coborrower to complete the co-borrower
consent agreement is 3 minutes. The
average time per client for counseling
agencies to document the services
provided to study participants is 10
minutes, with responses required for

both the educational component and for
the counseling services. The average
time for counseling agency staff to
complete interviews is 60 minutes—up
to 8 interviews conducted at up to 40
counseling organizations. The average
time for lenders’ staff to complete
recruitment calls and input the contact
information is 3 minutes. The average
time for lenders’ call center teams to
complete the recruitment call outcome
report is 30 minutes. These reports will
be provided to the study team weekly
through the enrollment period. The
enrollment period is estimated to last 52
weeks for each lender. The average time
for lenders’ staff to complete interviews
is 60 minutes. Up to 84 staff will be
interviewed across 3 lenders. The total
burden for the study is 21,056 hours:
14,683 hours for study participants and
potential study participants, 105 hours
for study participants’ co-borrowers,
1,662 hours for counseling agencies, and
4,606 hours for lenders.
Status of the proposed information
collection: This is a new collection.

Title: Southern Alaska Sharing
Network and Subsistence Study.
Abstract: The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM), under the
Department of the Interior (DOI), is the
Federal administrative agency that
conducts OCS lease sales and monitors
and mitigates adverse impacts that
might be associated with offshore
resource development. Within BOEM,
the Environmental Studies Program
implements and manages the
responsibilities of research. This study
will facilitate the meeting of DOI/BOEM
information needs on subsistence food
harvest and sharing activities in various
coastal Alaska areas.
Planning areas for potential resource
development in Alaska can include
large geographic areas with diverse,
abundant, and environmentally
sensitive resources. Within these areas,
the DOI’s Proposed OCS Oil and Gas
Leasing Program considers that there
will be an oil and gas lease sale in the
future. These proposed sale areas or
adjacent areas support major productive
commercial and subsistence fisheries,
provide habitat to numerous marine
mammals, and are a significant
migration and staging area for
internationally important waterfowl.
Numerous communities in the State of
Alaska rely heavily on subsistence
fisheries.
This study assesses the vulnerabilities
of several coastal communities in
southern Alaska as to the potential
effects of offshore oil and gas
development on subsistence food
harvest and sharing activities. It
investigates the resilience of local
sharing networks that structure
contemporary subsistence-cash
economies using research methods that
involve the residents of these
communities most proximate to the
future sale area(s).
The BOEM will use the information
collected to gain knowledge about local
social systems that will help shape
development leasing strategies and
serve as an interim baseline for impact
monitoring to compare against future
research in these areas. Without this
data, BOEM will not have sufficient
information to make informed leasing
and development decisions for these
areas.
Survey Instrument: The research will
be collected from a survey administered
to each head of household in the
communities to collect information
about the subsistence (harvest data) and
sharing networks of the communities.
The information under this collection

will be obtained through personal
interviews that are voluntary.
Interview Methods: The interviews for
each study will be conducted in person
in a setting most comfortable for the
respondents. This personal method is
more expensive and time consuming for
the researchers, but these drawbacks are
outweighed by improvements in the
quality of information obtained and the
rapport established. Telephone
interviews have not been successful in
rural Alaska. Each respondent will be
paid an honorarium for taking part in
the study. Responses are voluntary and
confidential.
Frequency: One-time event for each
study.
Description of Respondents:
Approximately 128 respondents from
Alaska coastal communities.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The
currently approved annual reporting
burden for this collection is 192 hours.
We estimate each survey will take about
1.5 hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden:
We have identified no non-hour cost
burdens for this collection.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: We invite comments on:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the agency
to perform its duties, including whether
the information is useful; (2) the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
submission for OMB approval. As a
result of your comments, we will make
any necessary adjustments to the burden
in our submission to OMB.
Public Availability of Comments:
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
