OMB Approval Number: Pending. Type of Request: New collection. Form Number: N/A. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is proposing the collection of information for the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Choice Mobility and Long-Term Affordability Evaluation. RAD was established under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 to preserve affordable housing units over the long term by enabling public housing authorities (PHAs) to apply to HUD to convert at-risk public housing properties to two different forms of project-based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments contracts—projectbased voucher (PBV) or project-based rental assistance (PBRA). Doing so gives PHAs more flexibility to access private and public funding sources to meet with short-term capital needs, reduce their reliance on limited appropriations, and stabilize their financial and physical condition. Choice mobility, an additional feature of RAD, allows residents of RAD properties to request a Housing Choice Voucher that they can use to move to a housing unit in the private market. Congress requested an evaluation of RAD to assess the impact of the demonstration on the preservation and improvement of public housing, the amount of private sector leveraging, and the effect on tenants. HUD contracted a two-phase evaluation to address these research areas. The Phase I results were published in 2016 and the Phase II results in 2019. The OMB Approval Number for that evaluation was 2528– 0304 and expired on January 31st, 2020. The Fiscal Year 2018 Appropriations Act provided funds to conduct a followup evaluation of the RAD program, including its implementation and outcomes, the choice mobility option, the impact on tenants and related PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 protections, and the long-term preservation of housing affordability. This Federal Register Notice provides an opportunity to comment on the information collection for this new phase of the RAD evaluation titled RAD Choice Mobility and Long-Term Affordability Evaluation. The current information collection is designed to support four studies included in the evaluation. One is the study of the implementation of the RAD choice mobility option and its effects on property outcomes, tenant outcomes, and the voucher program. The second study is the impact of RAD on the longterm preservation and financial viability of converted affordable housing properties. The third is the adequacy of asset management for PBV and PBRA conversions. The fourth study will examine the organizational and operational changes at PHAs that participated in RAD. For the first three studies, the evaluation includes webbased survey of all RAD PHAs, RAD property owners/operators, and former RAD residents who have exercised the choice mobility option; and a sample survey of RAD residents who have not elected the choice mobility option. For the fourth study, we plan to conduct qualitative interviews with senior staff at 26 RAD PHAs. Respondents: PHA officials and staff participating in the RAD program; property owners/operators of RAD properties; former RAD residents who have exercised the choice mobility option; and RAD residents who have not elected the choice mobility option. Estimated Number of Respondents: This information collection will affect approximately 3,596 respondents. This includes: (1) A survey of 500 RAD PHAs; (2) a survey of 1,350 RAD property owners/operators; (3) a survey of approximately 1,300 former RAD residents who are choice mobility option users; (4) a survey of a sample of 420 RAD residents who did not use the choice mobility option, and (5) qualitative interviews of a sample of 26 RAD PHAs. Estimated Time per Response: The RAD PHA survey is expected to take 45 minutes. The RAD property owner/ operator survey is expected to take 20 minutes. Surveys of residents, for both the choice mobility census and the nonchoice mobility sample, are expected to take 20 minutes. Qualitative interviews with a sample of 26 PHAs will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. Frequency of Response: 1 time for all surveys and qualitative interviews. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,414 hours for all surveys and qualitative interviews. E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM 09JNN1
