Abstract: The personal interview is voluntary on the part of the displaced person and assists the Agency in determining relocation benefits the person may be eligible to receive. The entities that are asked to respond are persons that are required to move themselves or their personal property from real property acquired by the Agency for a Federal or federally assisted project or program. The information is collected via a one-on-one personal interview of approximately 1 hour in duration with each individual household, business, farm, or nonprofit organization that is displaced by the project, solely for the purpose of explaining the relocation process to the displaced person and requesting the displaced person provide information about their needs and preferences in relation to the process to assist the Agency in relocation benefit determination and for temporary recordkeeping purposes of those determinations.
