collection requirement concerning the

Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)

for Research to Improve the Evaluation

and Control of Residential Lead-Based

Paint Hazards will be submitted to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review, as required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act. The

Department is soliciting public

comments on the subject proposal.

DATES: Comments Due Date: July 7,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Integrated persons are

invited to submit comments regarding

this proposal. Comments should refer to

the proposal by name and/or OMB

Control Number and should be sent to:

Gail Ward, Reports Liaison Officer,

Department of Housing and Urban

Development, 451 7th Street, SW, Room

P3206, Washington, DC 20410.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Peter J. Ashley, (202) 755–1785 ext. 115

(this is not a toll-free number), for

copies of the proposed forms and other

available documents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department will submit the proposed

information collection to OMB for

review, as required by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended).

This Notice is soliciting comments

from members of the public and affected

agencies concerning the proposed

collection of information to: (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; (3) Enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (4)

Minimize the burden of the collection of

Title of Proposal: Brief Survey of HUD

Lead Hazard Control Grantees

OMB Control Number: Not applicable.

Need For the Information and

Proposed Use: This information

collection is required to assist in the

design of a study to evaluate the

effectiveness of lead hazard control

interventions performed on private

housing by a sample of the recipients of

HUD lead hazard control grants (grant

recipients include state or local

governments). A similar study has been

completed for a sample of 12 recipients

of LHC grants from Rounds 1 and 2 of

the grant program (awards made in 1992

and 1993). A new evaluation study is

needed to assess the effectiveness of

LHC interventions performed by a

sample of LHC grants from Rounds 3

through 7 of the program. The new

evaluation is needed to asses factors or

conditions that could not be assessed in

the completed study (e.g., novel

intervention protocols, communities in

different geographic areas).

A brief survey will be conducted of

potential study participants to provide

information to be used in selecting a

sample of final study participants. This

research should contribute to an

eventual reduction in the national

prevalence of childhood lead poisoning.

Agency Form Numbers: None.

Members of Affected Public: State or

local government recipients of HUD

lead hazard control grants during

Rounds 3–7 of the grant program (1994–

2000).

Total Burden Estimate (first year):

Total Estimated Hours: 375.
