SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department is submitting 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: Evaluating
Outcomes of HUD’s Healthy Homes
Demonstration Grants.
OMB Control Number: To be assigned.
Need for the Information and
Proposed Use: The mission of HUD’s
Healthy Homes Program is ‘‘To reduce
health and safety hazards in housing in
a comprehensive and cost effective
manner, with a particular focus on
protecting the health of children and
other sensitive populations in low
income households.’’ (Leading Our
Nation to Healthier Homes: The Healthy
Homes Strategic Plan, U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development
Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control, 2010, p. 7.) An
evaluation and summarization of grants

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 19, 2012 / Notices
awarded under the program was last
completed in 2005 (‘‘An Evaluation of
HUD’s Healthy Homes Initiative:
Current Findings and Outcomes,’’
Healthy Housing Solutions, March 5,
2007).
The objectives of the Healthy Homes
Demonstration (HHD) grants that will be
evaluated through the effort described
in this notice include:
• Carrying out direct remediation
where housing-related hazards may
contribute to injury or illness, with a
focus on children’s health;
• Delivering education and outreach
activities to protect children from
housing-related hazards; and
• Building capacity to increase the
probability that aspects of grantsupported Healthy Homes programs are
sustained.
OHHLHC intends to administer an
online questionnaire for up to 30 HHD
grantees. This questionnaire will
capture key project information to
supplement information already
available in reports and manuscripts
from the approximately 54 HHD grants
that were awarded from fiscal years
2005 to 2009, including any 2004 grant
not included in the earlier evaluation,
and any more recent grantee whose
grant ends this fiscal year. OHHLHC is
especially interested in determining
whether any of the grantee’s data sets
(i.e., resulting from project evaluation)
would be of value to OHHLHC for
additional analyses. After a review of
available reports and manuscripts,
OHHLHC anticipates roughly half of
these grantees (up to 30) will be asked
to complete the online questionnaire.
OHHLHC will target those grantees that
have carried out the greatest number of
interventions, collected the most
detailed evaluation data on cost, health
and housing impacts and outcomes, and
can demonstrate significant capacity-
building and sustainable approaches to
guide policy development and guidance
for future healthy homes efforts.
A questionnaire was developed for
the 2005 evaluation that captured key
information about recruitment/
enrollment, assessment, interventions,
skills training, and community
education/outreach in HHI grantee
projects. This questionnaire will be
modified for this new data collection
effort. The online questionnaire will be
administered through a secure Web site.

properties of voluntary participants
across the species’ range to further
recovery of this species. Pursuant to the
ESA and the National Environmental
Policy Act, we announce the availability
of the draft Agreement and draft
environmental assessment (EA) for
review and comment by the public and
Federal, Tribal, State, and local
governments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under a
Safe Harbor Agreement, participating
landowners voluntarily undertake
conservation activities on their property
to benefit species listed under the ESA
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Enrolled
landowners have the option to return
their property to baseline conditions
established at the time the Agreement
was developed. If the Agreement meets
all the permit issuance criteria, we issue
an enhancement-of-survival permit
under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA.
The permit authorizes incidental take of
the covered species that may result from
implementation of conservation actions,
