Department of Housing and Urban
Development will submit the proposed
extension of information collection to
OMB for review, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended). This

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

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

Title of Proposal: Site Visit Protocols
for Neighborhood Stabilization Program
(NSP2) Evaluation; Second Round.
OMB Control Number:
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) is conducting an
important national study of the
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
(NSP), with a particular focus on the
round of funding from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA), known as ‘‘NSP2.’’ This
information collection will constitute
the second round of site visits and
interviews of NSP2 grantees, as well as
collection of grantees’ property-level
data on NSP2 activities conducted. The
information collected will be used to
describe how program implementation
occurred in practice, gather views of
what program outcomes and impacts
have occurred, and explore factors that
contributed to program outcomes.
Agency Form Numbers:
Members of the Affected Public: A
total of 29 NSP2 grantees (25 local and
4 national) and 50 partner agencies will
be part of the study. Staff of these
grantees will be asked to participate in
interviews with HUD’s contractor and to
provide HUD’s contractor with access to
their records for tracking program
activity. Local interviews will take
approximately 2 hours per person and
will be administered to approximately 4
staff per NSP2 grantee and 4 additional
staff among partner agencies. Interviews
with national grantees will be
administered to approximately 2 staff
per NSP2 grantee.
Property-level data will be compiled
either by grantee representatives or by a
HUD contractor. Approximately onehalf of the 29 grantees (or 14 grantees)
and 25 partner organizations will likely
chose to report the required data
themselves via the study’s preformatted
spreadsheet. HUD estimates that each
spreadsheet will take one person about
1.5 working days (12 hours) to
complete, on average.
For the remaining 15 grantees and 25
partner organizations, the data will be
compiled by the research team with the
support of local representatives. The
majority of this effort will be conducted

will take approximately two hours per
grantee and partner organization to
provide access to records during this
time (e.g., pulling the appropriate files).

hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
