    This Notice also lists the following information:
    Title of Proposal: Electronic Stakeholder Survey.
    OMB Control Number: XXXX-pending.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Electronic Stakeholder Survey is necessary to collect information for 
demonstrating the outputs and outcomes of meetings, conferences, and 
other activities presented by HUD's Office for International and 
Philanthropic Innovation (IPI).
    The Office for International and Philanthropic Innovation (IPI) 
supports HUD's efforts to find new solutions and align ideas and 
resources by working across public, private, and civil sectors to 
further HUD's mission. IPI works towards these goals by developing 
networks and facilitating collaboration of key partners and resources. 
To gather feedback on the various meetings, conferences, and other 
events and activities IPI presents, it is necessary to survey 
participants at both immediate and medium-term intervals. IPI is 
seeking to understand the effectiveness of these events in sharing 
information, connecting participants, establishing plans for 
coordination, and influencing programmatic, research, and funding 
agendas and resources. As we increase the effectiveness of these cross-
sector convenings, HUD benefits from increased access to and synthesis 
of information regarding successes and failures in domestic and global 
housing and urban development. Residents and communities across the 
country also benefit from the increased impact achieved by alignment of 
cross-sector resources and ideas.
    Members of affected public: Individuals.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response:
