This information collect is necessary to establish HUD's authority to file and investigate housing discrimination complaints under the Fair Housing Act of 1968, as amended. HUD uses this information to contact aggrieved persons, and to verify the required eleements of Fair Housing Act jurisdiction: Complainant's standing: covered Respondents: covered dwelling(s); covered transactions (subject matter); and timely filling (statute of limitations).
The emergency authorization is also necessary under 5 C.F.R § 1320.13(a)(2)(i) because
public harm is reasonably likely to occur, and under 5 C.F.R § 1320.13(a)(1)(i) because FHEOâs
ability to perform its mission will be hindered if it were required to comply with the 60-and 30-
day notice requirements. During these 90 days, as well as the additional time it would take to
conduct internal departmental clearance and await OMB approval, survivors of domestic
violence will be without a proper method to submit information to FHEO to initiate
investigations, and FHEO will be hindered in its ability to properly identify and assist these
individuals. Emergency approval of the updated HUD 903 will allow FHEO to engage in the
normal PRA process, including the 90-days of public comment, without harm to members of the
public who need an immediate method of informing HUD that their rights have been violated
under VAWA. This satisfies the requirement in 5 C.F.R § 1320.13(a)(1)(i) that the information
collection is âneeded prior to the expiration of time periods established under this Partâ as well
as the requirement in 5 C.F.R § 1320.13(a)(2)(i) that âPublic harm is reasonably likely to result if
normal clearance procedures are followed.â
This is a request for Emergency Approval for additions to the text of a currently approved information collection. FHEO has revised the estimated total annual responses for this information collection based on data reported for FY 2022. FHEO is adjusting the estimated Annualized Reporting Cost Burden to persons submitting (âReportingâ) this Form to HUD by mail to reflect the current cost of First-Class Postage at Sixty-Three Cents ($0.63) per submission (âReportâ), based on a one-time submission per aggrieved person. During FY 2022, HUD received approximately 1,213 submissions of potential complaint information by mail.
