**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The Efforts-to-Outcomes (ETO) is being terminated because the ETO system was designed to contain information for a specific population (FEMA eligible referrals) for a specific use and amount of time (DHAP eligible families who worked towards self-sufficiency until program end). ETO system was used for program implementation activities related to the Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP) case management services. DHAP is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) pilot grant program to provide temporary rental subsidies and case management for non-HUD assisted individuals and families displaced by Hurricanes Gustav or Ike. HUD is the servicing agency that administers the DHAP program for FEMA. The program ended in 2011 and once over, none of the records would continue to be active because the information would not be eligible for existing HUD or FEMA programs and as such would no longer be needed. Records are no longer maintained by HUD and have run the record retention period and wiped from the system.
**SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:**
Effort to Outcomes (ETO).
**HISTORY:**
The previously published notice in the *Federal Register* [Docket Number FR-5386-N-15], on December 29, 2010, at 75 FR 82053.

Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Administration.
