A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Moving to Work, Asset Building Cohort
Evaluation.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0345.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
contracted with Abt Global and its
partner MEF Associates to evaluate the
Moving to Work Asset Building Cohort
(hereinafter ‘‘Asset Building Cohort’’).
This 60-day Notice informs the public of
intent to collect data from HUD-assisted
households at Public Housing Agencies

second phase of data collection, which
includes a new instrument—the OptOut Saving Account Household Survey.
The first phase of the Asset Building
Cohort evaluation was guided by a few
overarching questions: (1) What
programs are PHAs implementing?
What are the characteristics of the group
of residents participating in the
programs? (2) How do participants
understand the programs? And what do
the programs mean for them personally?
The programs will run for up to two
years. This information collection
request covers the second phase, which
is guided by the following questions: (1)
What is the impact of the opt-out
savings program on assisted households’
ability to build and maintain an
emergency savings fund that helps them
avoid material hardships?’’ (2) What is
the impact of the program on their
ability to use traditional financial
products and decrease reliance on highcost alternative financial products?’’
This information collection request
seeks approval for data collection
needed to answer second phase
questions. Consequently, it requests
approval to collect data from a random
sample of HUD-assisted households at
PHAs implementing the opt-out savings
account program, including randomly
selected program participants and
randomly selected non-participants (the
control group) (n = 1,100). The evaluator
will contact selected residents and ask
them to participate in a 30-minute
survey about financial goals and
aspirations, and experiences with
banking, savings, and credit.
Participants assigned to the treatment
group will be asked a few additional
questions about their experiences with
the program. Prior to the survey, the
participants will receive an advance
letter notifying them of the upcoming
data collection.

This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A 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.

ACTION: Notice of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026
Fair Market Rents (FMRs); extension of
comment period; correction.
AGENCY:

The Department of the
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
published a notice in the Federal
Register of August 22, 2025 (HUD’s
FY26 notice), that describes the
methods used to calculate the FY 2026
FMRs and lists the procedures for
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to
request reevaluations of their FMRs as
required by the Housing Opportunity
Through Modernization Act of 2016
(HOTMA). HUD’s annual notices
typically permit public comment
through October 1 of a given year, even
if they are published earlier than thirty

SUMMARY:

days prior to that date. HUD’s FY26
notice provided an opportunity for
public comment but only through
September 22, 2025. This notice corrects
this error and extends the public
comment period through October 1,
2025. This notice also corrects HUD’s
omission of the Urban Honolulu, HI
Metropolitan Statistical Area (Urban
Honolulu MSA) from the list of areas
and counties in HUD’s FY26 notice that
have FMRs based on local ad hoc
surveys collected prior to 2024, and
provides that HUD has updated and
corrected the values for FMRs for the
Urban Honolulu MSA on HUD’s Fair
Market Rent Documentation System
web page.
DATES: The public comment period for
the notice published in the Federal
Register on August 22, 2025 (90 FR
41096), is extended from September 22,
2025, to October 1, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

FY26. 90 FR 41096 (HUD’s FY26
notice). This notice provided a comment
due date of September 22, 2025.

Correction
In the Federal Register of August 22,
2025, in FR Doc 2025–16060, on page
41096, in the second column, and on
page 41098, in the third column, the
following corrections are made:
1. On page 41096, in the second
column, in the Dates caption, revise the
DATES section to read as follows:

2. On page 41098, in the third
column, revise the sentence ‘‘(3) HUD
uses survey data from 2023 to calculate
the FMRs for Santa Cruz-Watsonville,
CA MSA.’’ to read as follows:
(3) HUD uses survey data from 2023
to calculate the FMRs for Santa Cruz-

However, HUD’s annual FMR notices
provide for a due date of October 1,
2025, even if the annual notice is
published earlier than thirty days prior
to October 1, 2025. 89 FR 66127, 88 FR
60223. This notice corrects the comment
due date in HUD’s FY26 notice from
September 22, 2025, to October 1, 2025.
This notice also corrects an
inadvertent omission of the Urban
Honolulu MSA from the list in section
III.D. of HUD’s FY26 notice of
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs),
HUD Metro FMR Areas, or nonmetropolitan counties that have FMRs
based on local ad hoc surveys collected
prior to 2024. At the time HUD
published its FY26 notice, the FMRs for
the Urban Honolulu MSA were based
only on the American Community
Survey (ACS) data for the area. The
FMRs for the Urban Honolulu MSA
should be based on a public housing
agency (PHA)-sponsored survey,
because this data was as-of August 2023,
and is therefore more recent than the
ACS. Therefore, this notice corrects the
sentence in the FY26 notice that reads,
‘‘(3) HUD uses survey data from 2023 to
calculate the FMRs for Santa CruzWatsonville, CA MSA.’’ to read, ‘‘(3)
HUD uses survey data from 2023 to
calculate the FMRs for Santa CruzWatsonville, CA MSA and for the Urban
Honolulu, HI MSA.’’
Additionally, at the time HUD
published its FY26 notice, HUD’s Fair
Market Rent Documentation System, at
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/
datasets/fmr.html, provided incorrect
values for FMRs in the Urban Honolulu
MSA. The correct FMRs for the Urban
Honolulu MSA are based on the PHAsponsored survey, as discussed above.
The correct FMRs are as follows:

Watsonville, CA MSA and for the Urban
Honolulu, HI MSA.
