interventions agreed to by caller or 

implemented by counselor without 

caller’s consent, (9) whether imminent 

risk was reduced enough such that 

active rescue was not needed, (10) 

interventions for third party callers 

calling about a person at imminent risk, 

(11) whether supervisory consultation 

occurred during or after the call, (12) 

barriers to getting needed help to the 

person at imminent risk, (13) steps 

taken to confirm whether emergency 

contact was made with person at risk, 

(14) outcome of attempts to rescue 

person at risk, and (15) outcome of 

attempts to follow-up on the case. The 

revised form reduces and streamlines 

responses options for intervention 

questions. It also adds information 

about the center, the call (e.g., language 

and military service), interventions (e.g., 

supervisor contact, rescue initiation), 

and follow-up/outcome. The form will 

take approximately 15 minutes to 

complete and may be completed by the 

counselor during or after the call. It is 

expected that a total of 750 forms will 

be completed by 132 counselors over 

the three-year data collection period. 

The estimated response burden to 

collect this information is annualized 

over the requested three-year clearance 

period and is presented below:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.), an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a valid OMB control 

number. The ICR documentation is 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov. 

Therefore, in preparation for OMB 

review and approval of the following 

information collection, TSA is soliciting 

comments to— 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

information requirement 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; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the

Waivers and Alternative Requirements 

for the Family Self-Sufficiency 

Program 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Previously, the Family SelfSufficiency Program was administered 

as two separate programs—one for 

Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) 

participants and one for Public Housing 

participants. Appropriations for the 

Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program 

in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2014, provided, however, that the two 

programs be merged into one program 

under a separate line item. The 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, 

also provided that the Secretary could, 

by Federal Register notice, waive or 

specify alternative requirements under 

specific sections of the United States 

Housing Act of 1937 in order to 

facilitate the operation of a unified 

Family Self-Sufficiency program. Based 

on this authority, HUD has unified these 

programs. This notice provides waivers 

and alternative requirements to facilitate 

the operation of a unified selfsufficiency program. 

DATES: This notice is effective: 

December 29, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Approximately $75 million in 

appropriations was made available for 

HUD’s (FY) 2014 FSS program, in the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, 

(Pub. L. 113–76, 128 Stat. 5, enacted 

January 17, 2014). Previously HUD 

administered the FSS program as two 

separate programs—one for Housing 

Choice Voucher (Section 8) participants 

and one for Public Housing participants. 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 

provided, however, that the two 

programs be merged into one program 

under a separate line item. The objective 

of the FSS program is to enable 

participating low-income families to 

increase their earned income and reduce 

their dependency on welfare assistance 

and rental subsidies. Under the FSS 

program, low-income families are 

provided opportunities for education, 

job training, and other forms of social 

service assistance, while living in 

assisted housing, so they can obtain 

skills necessary to achieve selfsufficiency. 

II. Applicable Rules, Statutes, Waivers, 

and Alternative Requirements 

To facilitate the operation of a unified 

self-sufficiency program, the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, 

authorizes the Secretary to waive, or 

specify alternative requirements of the 

sections (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5) or (c)(1) of 

Section 23 of the United States Housing 

Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437u) (1937 

Act). Under this authority, the Secretary 

hereby authorizes the following waivers 

and alternative requirements, which has 

the effect of modifying the FSS statute. 

1. Waiver allowing the Alternative 

requirement to permit families in either 

the public housing or Housing Choice 

Voucher program to count towards 

compliance with public housing 

agencies’ (PHAs’) mandatory FSS 

participation level and its reduction. 

HUD is providing an alternative 

requirement to Sections 23(b)(3) and 

(b)(4) to allow public housing agencies 

to operate a unified FSS program that 

combines the number of families under 

the formerly separated programs and 

formerly count graduating participants 

from either rental assistance program to 

both fulfill their mandatory program 

size requirements and subsequently 

reduce the program size in accordance 

with Section 236(b)(4). Without such a 

policy, PHAs would have to continue 

the separate tracking of families from 

each program, which would be 

unnecessarily burdensome. Moreover, 

this flexibility will allow some PHAs 

that have had difficulty meeting 

program requirements to come into 

compliance, and enable more families to 

benefit from FSS. This will apply to all 

PHAs, including those that administer 

only a single FSS program now and 

choose to expand to serve residents 

from the other rental assistance 

program. For example, if a PHA serves 

voucher participants only through their 

FSS program and the PHA expands its 

FSS program to public housing 

residents as well, then the PHA may 

count both its voucher FSS and public 

housing FSS graduating participants in 

reducing its mandatory program size. 

2. Waiver allowing Alternative 

requirement to the timely processing of 

assistance. HUD is providing an 

alternative requirement to Section (b)(5) 

to provide that public housing 

applicants, like HCV applicants, shall 

not be delayed in receipt of housing 

assistance due to electing not to 

participate in FSS. Section 23(b)(5) 

required no delay in admission of HCV 

applicants who decline to participate in 

FSS, but is silent about public housing 

admissions. Extending the existing 

policy to public housing applicants 

promotes uniformity, and also avoids 

the risk that some families will indicate 

an interest in FSS just to gain admission 

to assisted housing, and then not make 

effective use of the opportunity. It also 

supports the principle that participation 

in FSS is voluntary. 

3. Waiver to allow Alternative 

requirements on Conditions of 

Participation. HUD is providing an 

alternative requirement to Section (c)(1) 

that provides that housing assistance 

may not be terminated or withheld as a 

consequence of failure to complete the 

Contract of Participation without good 

cause. Section 23(c)(1) allows PHAs to 

have a policy that HCV assistance may 

be withheld or terminated for those 

families that fail to comply with their 

FSS contracts without good cause, but 

does not authorize eviction of public 

housing tenants for FSS noncompliance. This alternative 

requirement will promote uniformity as 

well as the principle that participation 

in FSS is voluntary. Anecdotal evidence 

suggests that the risk of termination has 

dampened interest in FSS among HCV 

participants at agencies that have 

adopted the option, making it more
