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:
Evaluation of the Rental Assistance
Demonstration, Phase 2.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Type of Request: New.
Form Number: No forms.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Rental Assistance Demonstration
program (RAD) was established in 2012
to stem the loss of public housing units
and other subsidized housing arising
from a backlog of capital needs. The
program helps to convert at-risk public
housing properties to two different
forms of project-based Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments (HAP)
contracts—either project-based voucher
(PBV) or project-based rental assistance
(PBRA)—giving public housing
authorities (PHAs) more flexibility to
access private and public funding
sources, reducing their reliance on
limited appropriations. The RAD
authorizing statute requires HUD to
E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM
08SEN1
62168
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 174 / Thursday, September 8, 2016 / Notices
assess the impact of the program on: (1)
The preservation and improvement of
former public housing units, in
particular their physical and financial
condition, (2) the amount of external
capital leveraged as a result of such
conversions, and (3) the residents living
in properties at the time of conversion.
To comply with this statutory
requirement and examine whether the
program’s objectives are being achieved,
HUD will be collecting and analyzing
quantitative and qualitative data from
primary and secondary sources related
to the following: (1) The physical and
financial condition of 24 RAD
properties selected for the study and 48
non-RAD properties selected for
comparison; (2) the implementation of
the program, including the capital needs
and amount of external funding
leveraged; and (3) the experience with,
and effect on, residents.

have been converted, and whether or
not it is achieving its intended
objectives.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
This information collection will affect
approximately 400 households that have
been enrolled in the RAD tenant study
(enrollment was approved under OMB
control number 2528–0304) and
approximately 100 PHA staff, including
Executive Directors and other high-level
staff at PHAs participating in RAD. The
tenant survey is expected to take 1 hour
and will be conducted once for each
household. The PHA interviews are
expected to take 1 hour and will be
conducted one time.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment
VerDate Sep<11>2014
The first phase of the evaluation has
been completed, and relied on
information collected in accordance
with OMB control number 2528–0304.
Under Phase 1, HUD surveyed PHAs
about their experiences with RAD and
began enrolling public housing
residents to track them for Phase 2 of
the study. That information collection
effort occurred early in the RAD
implementation process; while it
provided useful information about how
PHAs were approaching RAD, further
information collection is necessary to
understand the results of RAD. The
second phase of the evaluation is now
under way to answer questions about
effects of RAD three to four years after
its launch. This notice announces
HUD’s intent to collect the following
additional information: 1) a survey of
residents of RAD properties and 2)
follow-up interviews with PHA staff.
