information collection described in 

Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on April 18, 2018 

at 83 FR 17186. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Congregate Housing Services Program. 

OMB Approved Number: 2502–0485. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: SF–424, 425, HUD– 

90003, HUD–90006, HUD–90198, HUD– 

91180–A, HUD–91178–A. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: 

Completion of the Annual Report by 

grantees provides HUD with essential 

information about whom the grant is 

serving and what sort of services the 

beneficiaries receive using grant funds. 

The Summary Budget and the Annual 

Program Budget make up the budget of 

the grantee’s annual extension request. 

Together the forms provide itemized 

expenses for anticipated program costs 

and a matrix of budgeted yearly costs. 

The budget forms show the services 

funded through the grant and 

demonstrate how matching funds, 

participant fees, and grant funds will be 

used in tandem to operate the grant 

program. Field staff approve the annual 

budget and request annual extension 

funds according to the budget. Field 

staff can also determine if grantees are 

meeting statutory and regulatory 

requirements through the evaluation of 

this budget. 

HUD will use the Payment Voucher to 

monitor use of grant funds for eligible 

activities over the term of the grant. The 

Grantee may similarly use the Payment 

Voucher to track and record their 

requests for payment reimbursement for 

grant-funded activities. 

Respondents: (i.e., affected public): 

Non-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

49. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 392. 

Frequency of Response: 8. 

Average Hours per Response: 1.56. 

Total Estimated Burdens: 611.52. 

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

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

(3) Ways to enhance the quality,

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: PrePurchase Homeownership Counseling 

Demonstration and Impact Evaluation 

collection. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–0293. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The U.S. 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD) is conducting a 

national study on the effectiveness of 

pre-purchase homeownership 

counseling services. This request covers 

four data collection activities: (1) 

Administering a final follow-up survey 

to study participants; (2) extending 

OMB approval #2528–0293 so that the 

study can continue to collect updated 

tracking information from study 

participants; and (3) extending OMB 

approval #2528–0293 so that the study 

can continue to collect consent from the 

co-borrowers of study participants; and 

(4) extending OMB approval #2528– 

0293 so that the study can continue to 

collect loan origination and servicing 

data from lenders. The final follow-up 

survey will be administered to study 

participants approximately 48 months 

after they completed the baseline 

survey. The final survey will provide a 

comparison of study participants’ 

characteristics from the baseline survey 

and allow the study to better 

understand, document, and explain the 

impacts of first-time homebuyer 

education and counseling. As part of 

OMB approval #2528–0293, the study 

collects updated study participant 

contact information to locate study 

participants for the final follow-up 

survey. Maintaining contact with study 

participants over time is critical to 

minimizing attrition and ensuring high 

response rates to the follow-up surveys. 

Additionally, the collection of consent 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 136 / Monday, July 16, 2018 / Notices 32889 

from study participants’ co-borrowers is 

necessary to allow the study to collect 

data related to the characteristics and 

performance of study participants’ 

mortgage loans. Lastly, as part of OMB 

approval #2528–0293, the study collects 

study participants’ loan origination and 

service tracking data from the study’s 

three participating lenders. 

Respondents (i.e. affected public): Up 

to 5,854 study participants; 

approximately 1,000 co-borrowers; and, 

staff at 3 lenders. 

The average time per study 

participant (up to 5,854 study 

participants) to complete the final 

follow-up survey is 30 minutes. The 

study mails study participant tracking 

letters twice per year. The average time 

for study participants’ review of the 

letters and return of the tracking form is 

5 minutes. The collection of coborrower consent involves including the 

co-borrower consent form in the study’s 

regular tracking letters, along with a 

request for the co-borrower to review, 

sign, and return the written consent 

form. For co-borrowers who do not 

return the written form, the study will 

collect consent verbally at the time of 

the interim survey. The study estimates 

that approximately 1,000 study 

participants will have co-borrowers. The 

co-borrowers’ review of the co-borrower 

consent information and completion of 

the consent process is estimated to 

require approximately 5 minutes per coborrower. The average time for lenders 

to prepare study participants’ loan 

origination and performance data for the 

study team is 60 minutes. The study 

team will ask for this data semiannually from each lender during the 

next 3 years from each lender. The total 

burden for the study is 3,949.64 hours: 

3,903 hours for study participants, 83 

hours for co-borrowers, and 6 hours for 

lenders.

* The average income that our study participants received in the last 12 months is $57,811. This estimate of average income is based on responses to the Short-Term Follow-Up Survey and was weighted to represent the full study sample using sample weights that adjust for follow-up 

survey nonresponse. Thus, the hourly rate for our study participants is estimated at $27.70 (using the U.S. Office of Personnel’s national standard of 2,087 hours per year for a full-time employee).
