To view the recall notice, please visit

Kidde-Recalls-Smoke-and-CombinationSmokeCO-Alarms/. On December 16,
2014, Cavco submitted a revised plan of
notification and correction. Pursuant to
its notification and correction plan,
Cavco has attempted to notify all
affected homeowners by certified mail
and telephone and send free-of-charge
replacement Kidde combined smoke
and carbon monoxide alarms to affected
homeowners or install such replacement
when requested by the homeowner.
HUD approved the Cavco plan of
notification and correction on December
29, 2014.
Since receipts for all certified letters
were not returned and in some cases a
valid phone number was not available,
Cavco, by letter dated April 24, 2015,
requested an extension of 120 days to
complete the notification and correction
process. This notice advises that HUD
finds that Cavco has shown good cause
and that the extension is justified and
not contrary to the public interest and,
on April 24, 2015, granted the requested
extension until August 24, 2015, to
permit Cavco to continue its good faith
efforts to contact the affected
homeowners who did not receive a
certified letter, and to replace Kidde
combined smoke and carbon monoxide
alarms at no cost to affected
homeowners.

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Assessment of Technology Needs in
HUD-Subsidized Housing.
OMB Approval Number: Pending.
Type of Request: New.
Form Number: Pending.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: This
assessment will provide the data
necessary to inform subsequent
conversations with communities and
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) on the
technology needs of residents housed
with HUD assistance. The data will also
inform the design and implementation
of assistance efforts to narrow the
technology infrastructure and digital
literacy gaps in such housing, such as
the absence of access to high-speed
Internet. The standardized questions
cover broad areas of relevance to
assessing the technology needs of
communities and PHAs, including: (1)
Demographics of the populations served
(including such factors as age, income,
and education); (2) physical and
technological infrastructure in the
subsidized housing or that could be
made available by the jurisdiction; and
(3) potential use of federal and local
resources to address the technology
needs if these resources were made
available. In addition, the assessment
provides for communities and PHAs to
provide any information pertaining to
these topic areas that they may wish to
note and that is not covered by the
standardized questions, which would
help better identify their technology
needs.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Communities (i.e., city, tribal nation, or
other target area) and PHAs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3400.
Estimated Number of Responses: 50.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Average Hours per Response: Three
hours.
Total Estimated Burdens: 450 hours.

Interested persons are
invited to submit comments regarding
this proposal. Comments should refer to
the proposal by name and/or OMB
Control Number and should be sent to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.

comment on a proposed information
collection for the purpose of helping
HUD assess technology needs, such as
access to high-speed Internet, in HUDsubsidized housing. HUD is requesting
emergency processing of this request
because philanthropic foundations,
nonprofit organizations, private sector
entities, and others have expressed
interest in helping residents housed
with HUD assistance to narrow their
technology infrastructure and digital
literacy gaps. The questions included in
the information collection will enable
HUD to assess the technology needs of
residents housed with HUD assistance,
the commitment of communities and
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to
narrowing these technology gaps, and
the capacity of such jurisdictions to
successfully utilize the type of
assistance that is being offered. The
earlier that HUD can obtain this
information, the earlier that HUD may
be able to benefit from the generosity of
the various organizations that have
offered assistance.
DATES: Comment Due Date: May 22,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and
section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
11411), as amended, HUD is publishing
this Notice to identify Federal buildings
and other real property that HUD has
reviewed for suitability for use to assist
the homeless. The properties were
reviewed using information provided to
HUD by Federal landholding agencies
regarding unutilized and underutilized
buildings and real property controlled
by such agencies or by GSA regarding
its inventory of excess or surplus
Federal property. This Notice is also
published in order to comply with the
December 12, 1988 Court Order in
National Coalition for the Homeless v.
Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–
OG (D.D.C.).
Properties reviewed are listed in this
Notice according to the following
categories: Suitable/available, suitable/
unavailable, and suitable/to be excess,
and unsuitable. The properties listed in
the three suitable categories have been
reviewed by the landholding agencies,
and each agency has transmitted to
HUD: (1) Its intention to make the
property available for use to assist the
homeless, (2) its intention to declare the
property excess to the agency’s needs, or
(3) a statement of the reasons that the
property cannot be declared excess or
made available for use as facilities to
assist the homeless.
Properties listed as suitable/available
will be available exclusively for
homeless use for a period of 60 days
from the date of this Notice. Where
property is described as for ‘‘off-site use
only’’ recipients of the property will be
required to relocate the building to their
own site at their own expense.

Homeless assistance providers
interested in any such property should
send a written expression of interest to
HHS, addressed to: Ms. Theresa M.
Ritta, Chief Real Property Branch, the
Department of Health and Human
Services, Room 5B–17, Parklawn
Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville,
MD 20857, (301) 443–2265 (This is not
a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the
interested provider an application
packet, which will include instructions
for completing the application. In order
to maximize the opportunity to utilize a
suitable property, providers should
submit their written expressions of
interest as soon as possible. For
complete details concerning the
processing of applications, the reader is
encouraged to refer to the interim rule
governing this program, 24 CFR part
581.
For properties listed as suitable/to be
excess, that property may, if
subsequently accepted as excess by
GSA, be made available for use by the
homeless in accordance with applicable
law, subject to screening for other
Federal use. At the appropriate time,
HUD will publish the property in a
Notice showing it as either suitable/
available or suitable/unavailable.
For properties listed as suitable/
unavailable, the landholding agency has
decided that the property cannot be
declared excess or made available for
use to assist the homeless, and the
property will not be available.
Properties listed as unsuitable will
not be made available for any other
purpose for 20 days from the date of this
Notice. Homeless assistance providers
interested in a review by HUD of the
determination of unsuitability should
call the toll free information line at 1–
800–927–7588 for detailed instructions
or write a letter to Ann Marie Oliva at
the address listed at the beginning of
this Notice. Included in the request for
review should be the property address
(including zip code), the date of
publication in the Federal Register, the
landholding agency, and the property
number.
