Terms of Clearance: HUD is approved this collection for a period of one year. During this time, HUD will work with OMB on additional guidance to grantees on retrospective review. Additionally, OMB encourages HUD to explore potential changes to the environmental health index that would better equip grantees to identify environmental hazards independent of urban density. HUD will seek OMB approval for substantial changes to this collection, including the addition of new indices or data tables, substantive changes to the indices or data tables, the addition of new maps displaying new data, or changing the questions in the tool. HUD does not require OMB approval for updating existing data; making minor changes to the index formulas - provided they do not substantively change the use or responses to the data; making available alternative optional indices; making available additional data through the mapping exercise provided that grantee burden and their responses on the tool are not expected to change; or making changes to the presentation of the data or maps.

Abstract: The purpose of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) final rule is to provide HUD program participants with a more effective approach to fair housing planning so that they are better able to meet their statutory duty to affirmatively further fair housing. In this regard, the final rule requires HUD program participants to conduct and submit an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). The AFH requires program participants to identify and evaluate fair housing issues, and factors contributing to fair housing issues (contributing factors) in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions served by the program participant.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Many public comments received during the 60-day comment period stated that the 200-hour per program participant as too low. HUD has increased this to 240 hours per entitlement jurisdiction submitting and AFH. However, it is not likely that all entities participating together will all incur the full cost as they would if they were submitting an AFH separately. Thus, the hour estimate for PHA partners using this Assessment Tool is estimated at 120 hours. Additionally, as noted above, HUD expects that after experience with the first AFHs, will guide HUD to identify areas of the assessment where burden can be further reduced.
