SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in Section A. A. Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of Public Housing Program Activities. [[Page 4507]] OMB Approval Number: Pending OMB Approval. Type of Request: New Collection. Form Number: Not applicable (online questionnaire). Description of the need for the information and proposed use: In December of 2016, HUD finalized a rule requiring each and every public housing agency (PHA) to implement a Smoke-Free policy by July 30, 2018 (effective date). The Smoke-Free public housing rule is codified under 24 CFR parts 965.651, 965.653, 965.655, and 966.4. PHAs are required to have amended all resident leases by the effective date, at which point the policy must be enforced in full. Smoking of ``lit tobacco products'' such as cigarettes and hookahs is banned indoors and in outdoor areas within 25 feet of buildings. PHAs have the option of modifying the policy to expand the scope to e-cigarettes and/or additional areas on the property (e.g., playgrounds). PHAs may also opt to provide designated smoking areas (DSAs) outside the 25-foot boundary to provide shelter for smokers who reside in their public housing units. Residents who smoke are not required to quit, but if they wish to do so, then cessation services may be provided to them. HUD may issue other policies in the future that pertain to health or otherwise affect public housing agency operations. The survey will gather data on policies and programs pertaining to public housing operations. The information will be collected via online survey such as Qualtrics or SurveyMonkey, and will consist of approximately 40 questions, including Likert-type survey items and free response boxes. The submissions will be accessed by the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) in to evaluate the overall implementation effectiveness and identify areas that are experiencing difficulty in their implementation of policies. PIH may develop additional resources and/or target local resources that may be able to assist in their efforts. Respondents (i.e. affected public): PHA leadership and staff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Frequency of Responses per Burden hour Annual burden Hourly cost Information collection respondents response annum per response hours per response Annual cost -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Completing online questionnaire......... 870 1 1 .50 435 $30.47 $13,254.45 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total............................... 870 1 1 .50 435 30.47 13,254.45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B.
