the public to initiate CISA speaking
engagements. The form will be available
on www.cisa.gov and any member of the
public can submit a request for a CISA
employee to speak at an event. The form
will be used by CISA to track and
manage external speaking engagements.
The information will also be used to
schedule and determine the most
appropriate CISA speaker based on date,
time, location, presentation format, and
topic. The form collects information
regarding the requested speaking
engagement, e.g., the host organization,
the speaking topic, agenda, and
additional event details. The requested
information helps CISA determine
whether the speaker should attend the
engagement and/or how CISA should
best prepare for the event.
The information is used to determine
if accepting the request will further
CISA’s mission.
The CISA Speakers Bureau team will
use the information to identify a speaker
and route the Speakers Request Form to
that person for consideration.
Confirmed CISA speaking engagements
are then sent to DHS Public Affairs for
awareness.
The form will be available on
www.cisa.gov as a fillable pdf and/or
webform, and will be submitted to the
CISA External Affairs Speakers Bureau.
The data collected will be stored in an
internal SharePoint site.
This is a NEW collection of
information.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
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,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
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,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

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: The
Rent Reform Demonstration: 6-Year
Long-Term Follow-Up.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0306.
Type of Request (i.e., new, revision or
extension of currently approved
collection): Revision or extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Department is conducting this study
under contract with MDRC and its
subcontractors (The Bronner Group,
Quadel Consulting Corporation, and the
Urban Institute). The project is a
random assignment trial of an
alternative rent system. Families are
randomly assigned to participate either
in the new/alternative rent system or to
continue in the current system. For
voucher holders, outcomes of the
alternative system are hypothesized to
be increases in earnings, employment,
and job retention among others. Random
assignment will limit the extent to
which selection bias drives observed
results. The evaluation will document
the progress of a group of housing
voucher holders, who will be drawn
from current residents, and the impact
of the alternative rent system on the
families as well as the administrative
burden on Public Housing Agencies
(PHAs). Three PHAs continue to
participate in the long-term evaluation:
(1) Lexington Housing Authority
(LHA), Lexington, Kentucky;
(2) Louisville Metro Housing
Authority (LMHA), Louisville,
Kentucky;
(3) San Antonio Housing Authority
(SAHA), San Antonio, Texas; and
Data collection efforts include the
families that are part of the treatment
and control groups, as well as PHA staff.
Data will be gathered through a variety
of methods including informational
interviews and discussions, direct
observation, and analysis of
administrative records. The work

1 Households
participating in the Rent Reform Demonstration will range widely in employment position and earnings. We have estimated the
hourly wage at the expected prevailing minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour in Kentucky and Texas. Moreover, we expect about 50 percent
of the participants to be employed at the time of the field research (based on analysis of employment data for the study sample). Based on this,
we assumed 50% of tenants would be working at the federal minimum wage.
2 For program staff participating in interviews, the estimate uses the median hourly wages of selected occupations (classified by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes) was sourced from the Occupational Employment Statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics. Potentially relevant occupations and their median hourly wages are:

Source: Occupational Employment Statistics, accessed online November 20, 2020 at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm.
To estimate cost burden to program staff respondents, we use an average of the occupations listed, or $26.67/hr.
3 The Cost Study Data collection assumes 2 managers and 1 specialist will be interviewed by site.
