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:
Relocation Options Study.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–NEW.
Type of Request: New data 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
Relocation Options study.
Increasing threats of natural hazards
due to climate change may necessitate
the movement of households or entire
communities to mitigate risk to people
and properties. This research will
conduct analysis of the efficacy of
buyouts, relocation, and resettlement in
mitigating hazard risk exposure; assess
the potential adverse outcomes,
inequities, and opportunity of such
programs; and determine the needed
capacity and coordination of Federal,
state, and local levels to enable
successful buyout, relocation, and
resettlement initiatives. The goal of this
research is to improve equity in how
disaster recovery and mitigation funds
are used for households that participate
E:\FR\FM\28MRN1.SGM
28MRN1
21538
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 61 / Thursday, March 28, 2024 / Notices
in buyout programs in communities that
have received Community Development
Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG–
DR) grants or Community Development
Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG–MIT)
grants. Results from this research shall
be interpretable to inform a framework
for a pilot program and evaluation
structure to inform the ongoing federal
approach to hazard-related relocation.
Currently, a ‘‘buyout’’ for CDBG–DR and
CDBG–MIT grants means the acquisition
of a property located in a floodway,
floodplain, or other grantee-designated
high-risk area, that is intended to reduce
risk from future hazards.
This Federal Register Notice provides
an opportunity to comment on the
information collection for this study
titled Relocation Options. The
information collection is designed to
support the Relocation Options study to
better understand outcomes of
households and communities that have
participated in homeowner buyout
programs using CDBG–DR or CDBG–
MIT funds. This work will include a
qualitative component and generate
principles for equitable and responsible
buyouts, relocation, and resettlement
strategies. The study includes
interviews of CDBG–DR grantees and
program administrators, other relevant
community stakeholders, and
homeowners that have gone through a
CDBG–DR or CDBG–MIT funded buyout
process.
Respondents: CDBG–DR grantee
representatives and administrators;
other relevant community stakeholders,
and homeowners living in CDBG–DR
grantee jurisdictions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Information may be collected from
approximately a total of 27 key
informants. This includes: (1) 27
qualitative interviews with grantees,
CDBG–DR or CDBG–MIT program
administrators, other relevant
stakeholders, and homeowners that
participated in a CDBG–DR or CDBG–
MIT buyout program.
Estimated Time per Response:
Interviews are expected to take one hour
each. The total estimated time is 27
hours.
Frequency of Response: One time for
each interview.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$4,058.20 for all individual document/
information solicited for related
research activities covered under
approval for researchers conducting
primary interview data collection and
research participants.
The Table below provides the
estimated burden hours for interviews.
These estimates assume the maximum
targeted number of study participants
and are calculated as the time needed to
complete individual surveys and
interviews or to participate in focus
groups. The table breaks out time to
complete informed consent and time
participating in the study by key
informant group (Government
Stakeholders, Community Stakeholders,
and Program Participants).
Calculating the annual total cost
burden to respondents, the project team
utilized Occupational Employment
Statistics from the U.S. Department of
Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics to
identify the median hourly wages (as
classified by Standard Occupational
Classification, SOC, codes) for October
2023 for interview participants.
