Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 85 / Friday, May 1, 2020 / Notices
Abstract: The Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) is authorized to protect property
owned, occupied, or secured by the
Federal Government. See 40 U.S.C.
1315. See also 41 CFR 102–81.15
(requires Federal agencies to be
responsible for maintaining security at
their own or leased facilities). To
implement this requirement, DHS
policy requires all visitors to DHS
facilities in the NCR 1 to have a criminal
history records check through the
National Crime Information Center
(NCIC) system before accessing the
facility. In reviewing the NCIC results,
TSA will consider whether an
individual could potentially pose a
threat to the safety of TSA employees,
contractors, visitors, or the facility. TSA
is revising the collection to transition
the applicable forms, TSA Forms 2802,
2816A, and 2816B, into Common
Forms. Common Forms permit Federal
agency users beyond the agency that
created the form (e.g., Department of
Homeland Security or U.S. Office of
Personnel Management) to streamline
the information collection process in
coordination with OMB.
Number of Respondents: 29,595.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 226 hours annually.
Dated: April 28, 2020 .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the

The Federal Register notice that

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Family Unification Program/Family
Self-Sufficiency Demonstration
Evaluation.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–New.
Type of Request: New Collection.
Form Number: Pending.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Family Unification Program/Family
Self-Sufficiency (FUP/FSS)
Demonstration, authorized in HUD’s FY
2015 appropriations, was designed to
test whether combining FUP and FSS
for eligible youth would result in
beneficial outcomes. The demonstration
program was first announced in January
2016, and a total of 51 PHAs are
participating in the demonstration as of
2019. As a part of the demonstration,
the time limit on rental assistance was
extended to match the maximum
allowable five-year FSS contract (at the
start of the demonstration, this was an
increase from 18 months, although FUPYouth vouchers were extended to 36
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
months shortly after the time the
demonstration was announced). No
funds or additional FUP vouchers were
allocated for the demonstration,
although certain regulatory
requirements were relaxed for
participating Public Housing Agencies
(PHAs), with the aim of better aligning
the existing programs into the new
approach. As a result, all participating
PHAs already had FUP allocations.
Participating PHAs can choose to
modify their FSS programs to better
meet the needs of youth participants.
The most recent FUP awards (FY17 and
FY18) require partnership with a local
Continuum of Care (CoC), which can
increase referrals of eligible youth
through coordinated entry.
The main goal of the FUP/FSS
Demonstration Evaluation is to assess
whether the combination of FUP and
FSS, along with the extension of time
limits, has been an effective approach to
improving housing stability and selfsufficiency outcomes for youth aging
out of foster care. Related to this is
whether participation in the
demonstration has provided an avenue
for closer and more productive
partnerships between PHAs, Public
Child Welfare Agencies (PCWAs), and
other youth-focused organizations
involved. This includes capturing
information about how PHAs and their
PCWA partners have worked together to
implement the demonstration program
and the challenges and lessons learned
from their experience to date.
Initial take-up rates for the
demonstration, as well as nondemonstration FUP-Youth voucher
issuances, have both generally been low.
Given these low take-up rates, an
additional baseline goal will be to assess
the extent to which the FUP/FSS
Demonstration is being actively
implemented across the 51 participating
PHAs and why some sites that applied
to the demonstration do not appear to be
implementing the program or issuing
many FUP-Youth vouchers. To this end,
while many of the core evaluation
questions are focused on
implementation questions and
challenges, the study will also
necessarily explore why some
demonstration sites do not appear to be
fully engaged with the program. Finally,
a goal of the evaluation is to measure
short-term outcomes for participating
youth and determine any emerging
common attributes among them.
This notice announces HUD’s intent
to collect information through the
following methods: (1) Study
investigators (from Urban Institute) will
administer an agency-level web-based
survey to all PHAs and PCWAs

Investigators will conduct one-time
telephone interviews with a sample of
staff from 10 PHAs in the demonstration
to gather more nuanced information
than can be collected in the web-based
surveys. (3) Investigators will also visit
