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: Moving to Work (MTW) Cohort 2 
Stepped and Tiered Rent Demonstration Evaluation.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0339.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD 
has selected 10 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to participate in the 
second cohort of the Moving to Work (MTW) Expansion, Stepped and Tiered 
Rent Demonstration (STRD). These PHAs will implement an alternative 
rent policy (a stepped rent or tiered rent) that is intended to reduce 
PHA administrative burden and increase self-sufficiency of assisted 
households. Five PHAs will implement a stepped rent and five PHAs will 
implement a tiered rent. HUD's Office of Policy Development and 
Research (PD&R) will evaluate the impacts of those alternative rent 
policies, using a randomized controlled trial. The evaluation will rely 
on data from a variety of sources, including new information collection 
efforts proposed in this Notice. HUD has contracted with MDRC to 
conduct the first phase of the evaluation, including random assignment, 
baseline data collection, and monitoring PHA implementation.
    Within the 10 participating PHAs, eligible households will be 
randomly assigned to have their rent calculated under the new rules 
(stepped/tiered rent) or old rules (the Brooke rent, typically 30% of 
household income). Eligible households will be non-elderly, non-
disabled participants in the public housing and housing choice voucher 
program. Prior to random assignment, each household will be asked to 
complete a baseline information form (BIF), review the informed consent 
form, and provide informed consent to authorize HUD's evaluator to use 
their data for the evaluation. The BIF will provide important 
information not otherwise available from HUD's administrative data, 
such as whether the household has significant barriers to employment. 
The BIF will average approximately 7 minutes long and reviewing the 
consent form is expected to take approximately 11 minutes.
    MDRC will also conduct interviews with staff from participating 
PHAs, to better understand their experience implementing the new rent 
policies. For

[[Page 17863]]

the first phase of the evaluation, MDRC is expected to conduct two 
rounds of staff interviews with each PHA. During the first round, MDRC 
expects to interview up to ten staff per PHA (reflecting a mix of 
executive management staff, public housing and HCV directors, and 
public housing and HCV specialists). The second round will focus on 
staff most directly involved with implementing the new rent policies 
(public housing and HCV directors and/or managers, and public housing 
and HCV specialists). The mode in Round 1will be a mix of one-on-one 
interviews and group interviews, with small groups of 2-3 staff 
performing similar roles. The mode in Round 2 will be group interviews, 
with groups of 2-4 staff performing similar roles.
    MDRC will collect data extracts that will include a small subset of 
data elements captured by the PHAs exclusively for the demonstration, 
called the ``Rent Policy Implementation Data Tracking Tool.'' MDRC will 
collect these data fields along with MTW Expansion 50058 data, which is 
collected under OMB control number 2577-0083, directly from PHAs during 
the early implementation period to ensure that the new rent rules are 
being implemented correctly and throughout the demonstration to track 
hardship requests and collect updated contact information for ongoing 
communications and reminders about the demonstration and for potential 
follow-up surveys.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): Recipients of HUD housing 
assistance participating in the Stepped and Tiered Rent Demonstration; 
Staff with PHAs participating in the Demonstration.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: up to 25,000 study participants 
who will complete the baseline survey; 100 PHA staff interviewees in a 
first round (which occurred in 2023) and up to 120 PHA staff 
interviewees in a second round of data collection with staff.
    Frequency of Response: Once (BIF); Once for staff included in Round 
1 staff interviews; Once for staff included in Round 2 staff 
interviews.
    Average Hours per Response: The BIF will take 7 minutes per 
response (.12 hour). PHA staff interviews will take one hour, on 
average, in Round 1. Round 2 staff interviews will take up to 90 
minutes.
    Total Estimated Burdens:
