A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Family Self-Sufficiency program (FSS) 

long-term follow-up Survey. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506-New. 

Type of Request: New. 

Form Number: N/A 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: In 2012, 

HUD commissioned the national Family 

Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Study. MDRC 

was selected to lead this evaluation. As 

part of the longer-term follow-up, which 

HUD authorized in 2018—and extends 

through 2021, MDRC will conduct a 

long-term follow-up survey with a 

sample of individuals who enrolled in 

the study and were randomly assigned 

to a program group (offered the 

opportunity to enroll in FSS and receive 

services) or a control group. The survey 

will allow us to understand the FSS 

program’s long-term effects on 

indicators of economic self-sufficiency 

(employment and income, for example) 

and well-being (health, financial, 

material, housing, for example). The 

survey will also provide an opportunity 

to understand the program participation 

experiences of FSS participants in the 

study who continue to be enrolled in 

FSS and those who exited for a variety 

of reasons, including graduation from 

FSS. No other comprehensive data 

source exists to provide the type of 

information that will be collected by 

this follow-up survey.

1Based on HUD feedback and suggestions on the instrument, the survey might run between 18–20 minutes, slightly longer than the 15-minute 

estimate in the Federal notice. 2To compute the hourly cost per response, MDRC used the weighted average state minimum wage of the 18 study sites, as of October 1, 

2020. The state minimum wages were weighted by the number of study participants in each state. State minimum wage rates were found on the 

DOL website (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/minimum-wage/). The minimum wages in 7 states are: California ($12.00), Florida ($8.56), Maryland ($11.00), Missouri ($9.45), New Jersey ($11.00), Ohio ($7.25), and Texas ($7.25). 3To compute the total estimated annual cost, the total estimated annual burden hours were multiplied by the hourly cost per response. The 

calculation assumes 429 total annual burden hours if all 1,300 study participants respond to the survey. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following:

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of 

information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond; including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

(5) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

HUD encourages interested parties to 

submit comment in response to these 

questions.
