Every 2 years, the Organizer Survey
will be completed by an estimated 3,400
THM event organizers and will require
only one response per respondent. It
will take an average of 20 minutes
(0.333 hours) to review the instructions
and complete the survey. This burden
estimate is based on comments from
three 2012 THM organizers who
reviewed the survey and provided
comments on how long it would take
them to complete it.
The Participant Form will be
completed by an average of 30
participants per sampled communitybased organization (n=400) and will
require only one response per
respondent. It will take an average of 5
minutes (0.083 hours) to review the
instructions and complete the form.

SAMHSA supports nationwide THMs
every other year. Collecting data on each
round of THMs, and using this
information to inform policy and
measure impact, supports SAMHSA’s
strategic initiative number 1: Prevention
of substance abuse and mental illness. A
specific goal under this initiative is to
prevent or reduce the consequences of
underage drinking and adult problem
drinking; a specific objective is to
establish the prevention of underage
drinking as a priority issue for states,
territories, tribal entities, colleges and
universities, and communities.
SAMHSA will use the information
collected to document the
implementation efforts of this
nationwide initiative, determine if the
federally sponsored THMs lead to
additional activities within the
community that are aimed at preventing
and reducing underage drinking,
identify what these activities may
possibly include, and help plan for
future rounds of THMs. SAMHSA
intends to post online a summary
document of each round of THMs and
present findings at national conferences
attended by community-based
organizations that have hosted THMs
and might host future events. Similarly,
SAMHSA plans to share findings with
the Interagency Coordinating Committee
on the Prevention of Underage Drinking:
Agencies within this committee
encourage their grantees to participate
as event hosts. Additionally, the
information collected will support
performance measurement for SAMHSA
programs under the Government
Performance Results Act.
Written comments and
recommendations concerning the
proposed information collection should
be sent by September 23, 2013 to the
SAMHSA Desk Officer at the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget

Section 3 of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968, as amended
by the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992 (Section 3),
contributes to the establishment of
stronger, more sustainable communities
by requiring recipients of certain HUD
financial assistance, to the greatest
extent feasible, to provide training and
job opportunities generated by such
financial assistance to local low- and
very low-income persons and to award
contracts to eligible businesses that
substantially employ those persons.
HUD is statutorily charged with the
authority and responsibility for
implementing and enforcing Section 3.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 163 / Thursday, August 22, 2013 / Notices
Recipients of HUD funding that is
subject to the requirements of Section 3
of the Housing and Urban Development
Act of 1968 are required, to the greatest
extent feasible, to meet the minimum
numerical goals for employment and
contracting set forth in the Section 3
regulation at 24 CFR 135.30.
In November 2011, HUD launched the
Section 3 Business Registry Pilot
program in five metropolitan areas—
Detroit, New Orleans, Los Angeles,
Miami, and Washington, DC as a
resource to help agencies that receive
certain HUD funds to meet their Section
3 obligations at 24 CFR part 135 (OMB
Approval 2529–0052).
HUD’s Section 3 Business Registry is
based on similar federal business
registries maintained by the Small
Business Administration (SBA) and the
Veterans Administration. It allows firms
that meet one of the three regulatory
definitions of a Section 3 Business to
self-certify their eligibility with HUD.
Once registered, these firms are placed
into a searchable online database of
Section 3 Businesses that interested
parties such as public housing
authorities, local government agencies,
contractors, and others can use to notify
these entities about the availability of
certain HUD-funded contracts.
This information collection consists
of two surveys that assess the overall
effectiveness of the Section 3 Business
Registry. The first survey measures the
outcomes of the pilot program for
Section 3 Businesses that have
registered with HUD. The second
survey, evaluates feedback from
recipients of HUD funding in the five
pilot locations on the usefulness of the
Section 3 Business Registry. Both
surveys will be issued via web-based
survey sites such as
www.Surveymonkey.com and will
produce information that may be useful
to HUD for developing policies
regarding the Section 3 Business
Registry. Responding to these surveys is
voluntary.
On April 16, 2013, HUD was granted
six-month emergency approval for this
information collection by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB
approval 2529–0053). At this time, HUD
is requesting 3-year approval pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act. HUD
solicits comment in the following areas
outlined in Section A on the
information collection described in
Section B.
A. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
information described in Section B on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond; including through
the use of appropriate automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.
B. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Proposal: Section 3 Business
Registry Surveys
Office: Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity
OMB Control Number: 2529–0053
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: This
information collection contains two
surveys that will provide insights into
the effectiveness of the Section 3
Business Registry and assess potential
outcomes. This information may be
useful to HUD for developing policies
regarding the Section 3 Business
Registry.
This information collection will be
limited to businesses that have selfcertified their Section 3 eligibility to
HUD and recipients of HUD funding
(i.e., Public Housing Authorities and
local government agencies). The surveys
will be sent electronically to all certified
businesses in the Section 3 Business
Registry database and HUD funding
recipients in an effort to produce the
greatest amount of responses. Random
sampling will not be used to identify
potential respondents. Respondents will
have a minimum of 60 days to respond
to the surveys. Responding to these
surveys is voluntary.
Agency form numbers, if applicable:
Form HUD 968 and Form HUD 969
Members of affected public:
Businesses that are either owned by, or
substantially employ, low- or very lowincome persons; low-income persons;
developers; members of the general
public; public housing agencies; and
State and local governments.

hours of response: At this time, there are
approximately 800 businesses in the
five pilot locations that have selfcertified their eligibility with HUD and
150 HUD-funding recipients in the five

Interior; Forest Service, Agriculture.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Department of the
Interior and the Department of
Agriculture propose to adopt a fee
schedule for commercial filming and
still photography conducted on public
lands under their jurisdiction. The
proposed fee schedule would establish
land-use fees for commercial filming
and still photography that are consistent
for the National Park Service, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of
Land Management and U.S. Forest
Service. The fees would be based on
sound business management principles
and would provide a fair return to the
United States, as required in the law.
DATES: Written comments will be
accepted until September 23, 2013.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any of the following methods:
• Email: location_fee_notice_2013@
nps.gov; put ‘‘Commercial Filming Fee
Schedule’’ in the subject line.
