of design criteria, such as ASHRAE 

Standard 160P, that will minimize 

durability problems associated with 

high moisture levels; (3) Investigate the 

influence of the interior and exterior 

conditions on the moisture level of 

typical single family detached homes.

Title of Proposal: Final Evaluation of 

the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) 

Program. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: This 

request is for the clearance of several 

survey instruments for the Final 

Evaluation of the Moving to 

Opportunity (MTO) demonstration 

program. Authorized by Congress in the 

Housing and Community Development 

Act of 1992, MTO is a unique 

experimental research demonstration 

designed to learn whether moving from 

a high-poverty neighborhood to a lowpoverty neighborhood significantly 

improves the social and economic 

prospects of poor families. Families 

living in high poverty public and 

assisted housing in Baltimore, Boston, 

Chicago, Los Angeles and New York 

who applied for MTO were randomly 

assigned into two treatment groups and 

one control group between 1994 and 

1998. Families assigned to the treatment 

groups were provided Section 8 to allow 

them to move out of the high poverty 

developments. Families in one of the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 4, 2007 / Notices 16383 

treatment groups received intensive 

mobility counseling and were required 

to lease a unit in a neighborhood with 

less than ten percent poverty. The other 

treatment group families could lease a 

unit wherever they chose, but only 

received the normal housing authority 

counseling. Those families assigned to 

the control group did not receive any 

Section 8 assistance but continued to 

receive project-based assistance. 

This data collection is necessary to 

measure impacts and mediators 

approximately 10 to 14 years after 

families were randomly assigned to the 

two treatment groups and the control 

group. The data are planned to be 

collected for the following primary 

outcome domains: housing mobility and 

assistance; neighborhoods and social 

networks, adult education, employment 

and earnings; household income and 

cash assistance; adult, youth, and child 

physical and mental health; youth and 

child emotional and social well-being, 

including delinquency and risky 

behavior; and youth and child 

educational performance. 

Interviews are estimated to be 

completed for 3,900 adult heads of 

household using the adult interview 

guide and approximately 5,800 youth 

between the ages of 10 and 20 using the 

youth interview guide. The youth and 

children noted above will be 

administered a math and reading 

achievement assessment. Subject to 

final decisions by the research team and 

HUD, as well as Institutional Review 

Board approval, the interviews will also 

include collection of biomarker data via 

finger pricks to obtain dried blood spots 

of MTO participants. All interviewers 

and testing will be conducted in-person 

or on the telephone by interviewers 

using computer-assisted personal 

interviewing (CAPI) or computerassisted telephone interviewing 

software to directly input the data into 

a computer. Incentive payments will be 

made to respondents participating in 

this survey in order to ensure a high 

response rate. Data gathered will be 

used by the National Bureau of 

Economic Research to prepare a report 

to HUD on the long-term impacts of 

MTO. Subject to maintaining the 

privacy and confidentiality of 

respondents, the data collected will also 

be used by academics and HUD policy 

analysts to further explore what specific 

neighborhood mediating factors 

contribute to the neighborhood impact 

on outcomes for families and children. 

The information will be used by HUD 

and Congress to guide future housing 

policy in many areas, including housing 

mobility assistance and the location and 

concentration of assisted housing. 

OMB Control Number: Pending 

approval. 

Agency form numbers: None. 

Members of Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Estimation of the total number of

minutes; 5,800 youth with 45 minute 

survey and 45 minute achievement test.
