SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD has

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: ConnectHome Baseline Survey Data 
Collection.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0308.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Form Number: Survey.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
purpose of this effort is to support communities in the 28 ConnectHome 
sites in administering a baseline survey of targeted residents' current 
at-home Internet access. The survey administration will include the 
development of an outreach plan with HUD ConnectHome collaborators and 
communities; selection of a sample of participants to be surveyed; 
administration of an initial baseline internet access survey; and 
submission of a database, codebook, and frequency output tables for 
collected data; and submission of a summary analysis of the collected 
data.
    The baseline survey will provide HUD with baseline measures of in-
home high-speed internet access, barriers to access among those without 
access, and types of devices used to access the internet. Upon 
establishing baseline measures, HUD's ConnectHome team will use this 
information to support local efforts in closing the digital divide.
    Respondents (describe): The survey is expected to be administered 
by mail or by Public Housing Authority staff in person or by phone to 
targeted assisted households at 28 ConnectHome sites. Communities are 
targeting different populations, which the survey's sampling process 
will recognize that some communities are targeting only public housing 
households with children, while others are also targeting voucher 
holders or residents of HUD multifamily housing in addition or instead.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,800.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 2,800.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes (.0833 hours).
    Total Estimated Burdens: 233.33 (233 hours and 33 minutes).
