    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed

    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,

    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 information on those who are to respond, 
    including the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or 
    other forms of information technology (e.g. permitting electronic 
    submission of responses).
        This notice also lists the following information:
        Title of Proposal: Survey of Vouchered-out Households.
        Description of the need for the information and proposed use: 
    Currently, HUD's Office of Property Disposition is in the process of 
    disposing, through demolition, several privately-owned multifamily 
    assisted properties which have been acquired by the Department as a 
    result of foreclosure or deteriorating safety and social conditions. 
    Prior to disposing of these properties, eligible resident households 
    are provided with Section 8 housing vouchers to obtain alternative 
    housing. In order to gain insight into the transformation of project-
    based programs to tenant-based assistance, the Department proposes to 
    study several of these vouchered-out projects. Specifically, the 
    Department is interested in learning more about housing and 
    neighborhood outcomes for renter households who receive a voucher to 
    leave multifamily assisted housing for residence in unassisted housing. 
    The results of this study will have a direct bearing on the 
    Department's policies for re-locating households from distressed 
    assisted housing.
        Members of affected public: 200 households who received a voucher 
    to leave assisted housing will be interviewed concerning their 
    experiences in obtaining alternative housing with a voucher.
        Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
    information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
    response, and hours of response: Information will be collected through 
    one-time telephone interviews with 200 members of households who moved 
    from assisted housing to private housing with a voucher. These 
    interviews will last an average of .417 hours (25 minutes) for a total 
    respondent burden of 83.4 hours (200 X .417).
        Status of the proposed information collection: Pending OMB 
    approval.
    
        Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
    44 U.S.c. Chapter 35, as amended.
    
        Dated: February 27, 1996.
    Michael A. Stegman,
    Assistant Secretary, Office of Policy Development and Research.
