Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Older Adult Home Modification
Evaluation.
OMB Approval Number: 252-New.
Type of Request: New request.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use:
Congress authorized HUD to make grants to experienced non-profit
organizations, States, local governments, or public housing agencies
for safety and functional home modification repairs to meet the needs
of low-income elderly homeowners to enable them to remain in their
primary residence. This information collection supports HUD's
evaluation on the effectiveness of the grants. HUD will both evaluate
grantee implementation and the impact of the modification on the client
recipients whose homes are modified.
Respondents: Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes
Grantees and Recipients for home modifications.
[[Page 51179]]
Total Burden Estimate: The table below reflects our estimate of the
burden on the grantees and the home modification recipients.
Respondent's Obligation: Grantees' participation in the Evaluation
is mandatory, as it is a stipulation for receiving grant funds.
Clients' participation in the Evaluation is voluntary and participation
does not affect their eligibility to receive home modifications.
Legal Authority: The data collection is conducted under Title 12,
United States Code, Section. 1701z and Section 3507 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44, U.S.C., 35, as amended.
