SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A. The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on
the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Standards for Success Reporting.
OMB Approval Number: 2501-0034.
Type of Request: Extension.
Form Number: HUD-PRL.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This
request is for the continued clearance of data collection and reporting
requirements to enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to better assess the effectiveness of discretionary-
funded programs included in this information collection request (ICR).
The discretionary-funded programs included in this ICR are the
Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator Grant Program, the Multifamily
Housing Budget-based Service Coordinator Program, and the Resident
Opportunity and Self Sufficiency Service Coordinator Grant Program
(ROSS).
This proposed collection, titled Standards for Success Reporting,
has three key components that improve data collection and reporting for
participating programs. First is the standardization of data collection
and reporting requirements across programs which increases data
comparability and utilization. Second is the ability to report on
measurable outcomes and to align them with higher-level agency
objectives. And third is the collection of record-level data, instead
of aggregate data. Collecting de-identified data at the level of the
service recipient allows for more meaningful analysis, improved
management, and the ability to demonstrate the progress and
achievements of the funding recipients and the programs. Standards for
Success accepts data submission by direct data input through the HUD-
funded GrantSolutions online data collection and reporting tool (OLDC)
and by data file upload, accommodating file formats in Microsoft Excel
or Extensible Markup Language (XML).
Currently across HUD, there are several reporting models in place
for its discretionary programs. The reporting models provide
information on a wide variety of outputs and outcomes and are based on
unique data definitions and outcome measures in program-specific
performance and progress reports. In Fiscal Year 2013, 9 program
offices at HUD used 6 systems and 15 reporting tools to collect over
700 data elements in support of varied metrics to assess the
performance of their funding recipients. The proposed data collection
and reporting requirements described in this notice are designed to
provide HUD programs with a tested alternative to their existing
disparate reporting methodologies, forms, systems, and requirements.
The lack of standardized data collection and reporting requirements
imposes an increased burden on funding recipients with multiple HUD
funding streams. The need for a comprehensive standardized reporting
approach is underscored by reviews conducted by external oversight
agencies, including the HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the
Government Accountability Office (GAO). These oversight agencies have
questioned the soundness and comparability of data reported by HUD
prior to Standards for Success. To address these issues, HUD is using
its statutory and regulatory authority to improve and strengthen
performance reporting for its discretionary programs.
The Secretary's statutory and regulatory authority to administer
housing and urban development programs include provisions allowing for
the requirement of performance reporting from funding recipients. This
legal authority is codified at 42 U.S.C. 3535(r). The individual
privacy of service recipients is of the highest priority. The reporting
repository established at HUD to receive data submission from funding
recipients will not include any personally identifiable information
(PII). Additionally, if the data from a funding recipient has 25 or
fewer individuals served during a fiscal year as reported in the
record-level reports, then the results for the demographic data
elements for the 25 or fewer individuals will also be redacted or
removed from the public-use data file and any publicly available
analytical products in order to ensure the inability to identify any
individual.
Eligible entities receiving funding by HUD are expected to
implement the proposed recordkeeping and reporting requirements with
available HUD funds. It is important to note that affected HUD funding
recipients are required to only submit a subset of the universe of data
elements presented. The participating HUD program offices determine the
specific data collection and reporting requirements, which considers
the type and level of service provided by the respective HUD program.
The reporting requirements in this proposal better organize the
data than participating programs collected in the past, standardize
outcomes and performance measures, and allow program offices at HUD to
select which data elements are relevant for their respective programs.
Documents detailing the data elements are available for review by
request from Malik

be submitted electronically. Funding recipients may use existing
management information systems provided those systems collect all the
required data elements and can be exported for submission to HUD.
Funding recipients that sub-award funds to other organizations will
need to collect the required information from their subrecipients.
Information collected and reported will be used by funding
recipients and HUD for the following purposes:
<bullet> To continuously improve the quality, effectiveness, and
efficiency of discretionary-funded programs;
<bullet> To provide management information for use by HUD in
program administration and oversight, including the scoring of
applications and the monitoring of funding-recipient participation,
services, and outcomes;
<bullet> To provide data for program evaluation; and
<bullet> To better measure and analyze performance information to
identify successful practices to be replicated and prevent or correct
problematic practices and improve outcomes in compliance with the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and the GPRA
Modernization Act.
The data collection and reporting requirements may expand to other
HUD programs. Program implementation will be determined by the program.
HUD will provide technical assistance to funding recipients throughout
the implementation.
