Terms of Clearance: Approved for 1 year. HUD shall report to OMB prior to reclearance on the following issues: (1) Response rate (2) Burden estimate (3) Ability of respondents to to provide reliable data; interview should query respondent on how often they are relying on actual data collection rather than estimates, and how they are arriving at any estimates. In addition, HUD has noted that the data collection is not an "impact study" in any way, and can not be used to describe the outcomes or effectiveness of the program. This is being used as a demographic picture of the network neighborhood program only and should be reported as such. Any reports should also note the limitations of the data-- that respondents in most cases were providing general estimates, instead of actual data collected at the centers. Upon resubmission, OMB will waive the 60-day comment period; HUD should submit the ICR to OMB and publish a 30-day notice. OMB can, if concerns are satisfied, give up to a 2-year reclearance for the project prior to a "full" clearance (including a 60-day Federal Register notice). However, OMB's concerns must be addressed in the resubmission package.
