Title of Proposal: Housing Choice 

Voucher Program Administrative Fee 

Study. 

Description of Information Collection: 

This request is for the clearance of onsite data collection from public housing 

agencies (PHAs). The proposed data 

collection has three purposes: (1) To 

identify a sample of PHAs that are 

verified to be operating high-performing 

and efficient HCV programs, (2) to test 

alternative methods of measuring time 

spent on administrative functions in the 

HCV program, and (3) to collect 

information on the factors that affect 

administrative costs in the HCV 

program. The proposed data collection 

will take place through site visits to 60 

PHAs and will include interviews with 

PHA staff, interviews with program 

partners, and reviews of client files and 

administrative data collected by the 

PHA, included documentation related to 

the HCV program budget. In addition, at 

5 of the 60 sites the research team will 

beta-test three alternative methods of 

collecting data on PHA staff time spent 

on the range of activities required to 

administer the HCV program. The 

results of the site visits and beta-tests 

will be used to develop the research 

design, sampling approach, and data 

collection instruments for a national 

study of the costs of administering the 

HCV program based on direct 

measurement of staff and other program 

costs among a sample of highperforming HCV programs. The results 

of this national study—for which 

separate OMB clearance will be 

sought—will be used to estimate 

administrative fees and develop a new 

administrative fee allocation formula for 

the HCV program. 

OMB Control Number: 2528–NEW. 

Agency Form Numbers: None. 

Members of Affected Public: Up to 

375 public housing agency staff persons 

(an average of 5 staff members at each 

of the 60 sites, plus up to 15 staff 

members at the 5 beta-test sites) and up 

to 180 staff from partner organizations 

(an average of 3 representatives of 

partner organizations at each of the 60 

sites). 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of responses, 

and hours of response: The average time 

for a PHA staff person to complete the 

interview is 1.5 hours. Up to 5 PHA staff 

will be interviewed per site, for a 

maximum estimated burden for the PHA 

staff interviews of 600 hours (300 

people times 2 hours per person). In 

addition, up to 3 representatives of 

program partners will be interviewed 

per site, for a maximum estimated 

burden for the program partner 

interviews of 180 hours (180 people 

times 1 hour per person). Finally, at the 

5 beta-test sites, up to 15 PHA staff will 

spend up to 20 minutes per day for 5 

days documenting time spent on various 

activities related to voucher program 

administration, for a maximum 

estimated staff burden of 127.5 hours 

(75 people times 1.7 hours per person). 

These same staff will also participate in 

1 hour of training related to the beta-test 

data collection, for a maximum staff 

burden of 75 hours (75 staff times 1 

hour per person). The total estimated 

burden across the three data collection 

activities for the study is 980 hours.

Regulation and Enforcement 

Commercial Lease for the Cape Wind 

Energy Project 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (‘‘NOA’’) 

of a Commercial Lease of Submerged 

Lands for Renewable Energy 

Development on the Outer Continental 

Shelf (‘‘OCS’’) for the Cape Wind Energy 

Project. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to its authority 

under the Outer Continental Shelf 

Lands Act (‘‘OCSLA’’), 43 U.S.C. 1331 et 

seq., as amended; and the Renewable 

Energy and Alternate Uses of Existing 

Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf 

Rules, 30 CFR part 285 (‘‘Rule’’), 

BOEMRE has issued a Commercial 

Lease (‘‘Lease’’) for an area of 

approximately 46 square miles on the 

OCS in Nantucket Sound off the coast 

of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This NOA 

is being published to announce the 

availability of the Lease in accordance 

with the requirements of 30 CFR 

285.231. The Lease is for the Cape Wind 

Energy Project (‘‘Project’’) which grants 

Cape Wind Associates, LLC, (‘‘CWA’’) 

the exclusive right to conduct certain 

activities within the leased area, subject 

to the terms and conditions of the Lease, 

and applicable laws and regulations. 

The Lease requires CWA to pay $88,278 

in annual rent prior to production, and 

a two to seven percent operating fee rate 

following the start of production during 

the 33-year lease (a 5-year site 

assessment term and a 28-year 

commercial operations term). The rent 

and operating fee are based on the 

requirements set forth in 30 CFR part 

285, subpart E. The Project plan calls for 

130 wind turbines capable of generating 

a maximum electric output of 468 

megawatts with an anticipated average 

output of 183 megawatts. Construction 

and operation of the Project cannot 

begin until BOEMRE reviews and 

approves plans submitted by CWA that 

detail construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with the Rule. 

Authority: The NOA of the Lease issuance 

is published pursuant to 30 CFR 285.231. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Cape Wind Energy Project Description 

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 

(‘‘EPAct’’) and amendments to the 

OCSLA gave the Secretary of the 

Department of the Interior the authority 

to issue leases, easements, and rights-ofway for renewable energy activities on 

the OCS. The Secretary delegated this 

authority to BOEMRE, formerly the 

Minerals Management Service. 

Following passage of EPAct in 2005, 

CWA submitted an application for 

Project to BOEMRE. In 2009, BOEMRE 

finalized the Rule that governed the 

issuance of leases, easements, and 

rights-of-way and the regulation of 

offshore renewable energy activities. 

The Project plan calls for 130 3.6 

megawatt wind turbine generators, each 

with a maximum blade height of 440 

feet, to be arranged in a grid pattern on 

the OCS in Nantucket Sound. The 

transmission cables for the Project, if 

approved, would pass through 

Massachusetts’ submerged lands. With a 

maximum electric output of 468 

megawatts and an average anticipated 

output of 183 megawatts, the Project is 

expected to generate electricity 

equivalent to three-quarters of the Cape 

and nearby islands’ electricity needs. 

Each of the 130 wind turbine generators 

would generate electricity 

independently. Solid dielectric 

submarine inner-array cables from each 

wind turbine generator would 

interconnect within the array and 

terminate on an electrical service 

platform (‘‘ESP’’), which would serve as 

the common interconnection point for 

all of the wind turbines. The Project 

plan calls for a submarine transmission 

cable system approximately 12.5 miles 

in length from the ESP to a landfall 

location in Yarmouth, Massachusetts 

(7.6 miles of which would fall within 

the state of Massachusetts’ jurisdiction).
