Subcommittees Task: To support the
Study, the ICCPUD convened a
Technical Review Subcommittee
(Subcommittee) and an external
Scientific Review Panel (SRP). The
Subcommittee is composed of ICCPUD
member agencies that have subject
matter and scientific expertise in
alcohol intake and health policy and
research, including:
• Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Health
• U.S. Department of Agriculture
• Agency for Health Care Research and
Quality
• Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
• Executive Office of the President,
Office of National Drug Control Policy
• Indian Health Service
• National Institutes of Health, National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism
• National Institutes of Health, National
Cancer Institute
• Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration
The Subcommittee will review all
available literature and synthesize the
data and conclusions from the Scientific
Review Panel. The Subcommittee will
assess the scientific evidence provided
by the SRP in conjunction with the
findings from a complementary National
Academies of Science, Engineering, and
Medicine (NASEM) Review of Evidence
on Alcohol and Health
(www.NationalAcademies.org/our-work/
review-of-evidence-on-alcohol-andhealth), provide a synthesis of the data,
and summarize the science for the 2025
Report to Congress and provide input to
the process for developing the 2025–
2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
related to alcohol and health.
The SRP is composed of nationally
and internationally renowned subject
matter experts. The SRP will conduct a
series of studies to assess the available
scientific research on alcohol intake and
health and will provide the
Subcommittee with an assessment of the
best available science related to the risks
of alcohol use on various health
outcomes. Individuals of the SRP have
expertise in the following areas:
• Public health strategies related to
alcohol policies, programs, and
practices
• Health effects of alcohol
• Dietary guidance policy
• Cancer epidemiology
• Data quality and analysis
• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
• Biostatistics
• Adverse pregnancy outcomes
All Subcommittee members and
external subject matter experts are

included?
Æ Are there other methodological
approaches that should be considered to
estimate the risk of alcohol
consumption on specific health
outcomes?
Æ Are the methods proposed subject
to major limitations? If so, what
strategies could be employed to
minimize these limitations?
Æ Are there additional data sources
that should be considered and/or
included for a comprehensive
understanding of the burden of alcoholrelated diseases?
Æ Are there specific scientific papers
or research that should be included in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that
solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60
days was published on March 12, 2024
at 89 FR 17862.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Cohort
2 Stepped and Tiered Rent
Demonstration Evaluation.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0339.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD has
selected 10 Public Housing Agencies
(PHAs) to participate in the second
cohort of the Moving to Work (MTW)
Expansion, Stepped and Tiered Rent
Demonstration (STRD). These PHAs will
implement an alternative rent policy (a
stepped rent or tiered rent) that is
intended to reduce PHA administrative
burden and increase self-sufficiency of
assisted households. Five PHAs will
implement a stepped rent and five PHAs
will implement a tiered rent. HUD’s

Office of Policy Development and
Research (PD&R) will evaluate the
impacts of those alternative rent
policies, using a randomized controlled
trial. The evaluation will rely on data
from a variety of sources, including new
information collection efforts proposed
in this Notice. HUD has contracted with
MDRC to conduct the first phase of the
evaluation, including random
assignment, baseline data collection,
and monitoring PHA implementation.
Within the 10 participating PHAs,
eligible households will be randomly
assigned to have their rent calculated
under the new rules (stepped/tiered
rent) or old rules (the Brooke rent,
typically 30% of household income).
Eligible households will be non-elderly,
non-disabled participants in the public
housing and housing choice voucher
program. Prior to random assignment,
each household will be asked to
complete a baseline information form
(BIF), review the informed consent
form, and provide informed consent to
authorize HUD’s evaluator to use their
data for the evaluation. The BIF will
provide important information not
otherwise available from HUD’s
administrative data, such as whether the
household has significant barriers to
employment. The BIF will average
approximately 7 minutes long and
reviewing the consent form is expected
to take approximately 11 minutes.
MDRC will also conduct interviews
with staff from participating PHAs, to
better understand their experience
implementing the new rent policies. For

the first phase of the evaluation, MDRC
is expected to conduct two rounds of
staff interviews with each PHA. During
the first round, MDRC expects to
interview up to ten staff per PHA
(reflecting a mix of executive
management staff, public housing and
HCV directors, and public housing and
HCV specialists). The second round will
focus on staff most directly involved
with implementing the new rent
policies (public housing and HCV
directors and/or managers, and public
housing and HCV specialists). The mode
in Round 1will be a mix of one-on-one
interviews and group interviews, with
small groups of 2–3 staff performing
similar roles. The mode in Round 2 will
be group interviews, with groups of 2–
4 staff performing similar roles.
MDRC will collect data extracts that
will include a small subset of data
elements captured by the PHAs
exclusively for the demonstration,
called the ‘‘Rent Policy Implementation
Data Tracking Tool.’’ MDRC will collect
these data fields along with MTW
Expansion 50058 data, which is
collected under OMB control number
2577–0083, directly from PHAs during
the early implementation period to
ensure that the new rent rules are being
implemented correctly and throughout
the demonstration to track hardship
requests and collect updated contact
information for ongoing
communications and reminders about
the demonstration and for potential
follow-up surveys.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD’s
Office of Policy Development and
Research (PD&R) maintains the Policy
and Research Information System
(PARIS) system of records. PARIS serves
as a repository of information related to
public housing agencies (PHAs), HUDassisted families, HUD-assisted
properties, and other HUD programs for
the purposes of research, evaluation,
monitoring, and budget formulation.
PARIS gives PD&R the ability to extract
data from multiple data systems, both
internal and external to HUD, and to
transform the data into a format that can
be easily analyzed and reported on. The
records in PARIS are not collected
directly from individuals. Records are
sent to PARIS from other data systems.
Data in PARIS are shared through data
exchange within HUD with the
following offices: PD&R’s Office of
Research Evaluation and Monitoring
(OREM), Office of Economic Affairs
(OEA), the Office of Housing (Single
Family and Multifamily), the Office of
Public and Indian Housing (PIH), and
the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
Data in PARIS are exchanged external to
HUD with the following agencies: the
U.S. Census Bureau (Census), the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS), the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), the Department of Justice
(DOJ), and the Department of Treasury
(DOT). The compilation and processing

of data from various HUD program
offices as well as external sources into
the PARIS system provides researchers
and policymakers with easy access to
data coming from disparate systems. In
addition, the data exchange and data
sharing through PARIS provides a
secure environment for HUD analysts to
make data useful for improving HUD
programs. The records that come into
PARIS from various sources, internal
and external to HUD, are kept separate.
The databases are constructed in such
manner that sources of the data are
identified.
