Title of Proposal: Certification and 

Funding of State and Local Fair Housing 

Enforcement Agencies. 

Office: Fair Housing and Equal 

Opportunity. 

OMB Control Number: 2529–0005. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: 

A. Request for Substantial Equivalence 

For a state or local law to be certified 

as ‘‘substantially equivalent’’ and 

therefore be eligible to participate in the 

Fair Housing Assistance Program 

(FHAP), the Assistant Secretary for Fair 

Housing and Equal Opportunity must 

determine that the state or local law 

provides substantive rights, procedures, 

remedies, and the availability of judicial 

review that are substantially equivalent 

to the federal Fair Housing Act (the 

Act). State and local fair housing 

enforcement agencies that are seeking 

certification in accordance with Section 

810(f) of the Act submit a request to the 

Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and 

Equal Opportunity. The request must be 

supported by the text of the 

jurisdiction’s fair housing law, the law 

creating and empowering the agency, all 

laws referenced in the jurisdiction’s fair 

housing law, any regulations and 

directives issued under the law, and any 

formal opinions of the State Attorney 

General or the chief legal officer of the 

jurisdiction that pertain to the 

jurisdiction’s fair housing law. 

B. Information Related to Agency 

Performance 

Once agencies are deemed 

substantially equivalent and are 

participating in the FHAP, HUD collects 

sufficient information to monitor agency 

performance in accordance with 24 CFR 

115.206, which sets forth the 

performance standards for agencies 

participating in the FHAP. These 

standards are meant to ensure that the 

state or local law, both ‘‘on its face’’ and 

‘‘in operation,’’ provides substantive 

rights, procedures, remedies, and 

judicial review procedures for alleged 

discriminatory housing practices that 

are substantially equivalent to those 

provided in the FHA. In addition, HUD 

collects sufficient information to 

monitor agency compliance with 24 

CFR 115.307 and 24 CFR 115.308, 

which set forth requirements for FHAP 

participation and reporting and record 

keeping requirements including, but not 

limited to, the requirement that FHAP 

agencies use HUD’s official complaint

data information system, and input 

complaint processing information into 

that system in a timely manner. 

Frequency of Submission: The 

Department estimates that requests for 

substantial equivalence will have the 

following reporting burdens: 

Number of 

respondents × Annual responses × Hours per response = Burden hours 

Reporting Burden ...................................................................... 10 6 15 900 

The Department estimates that 

reporting information related to agency 

performance will have the following 

reporting burdens: 

Number of 

respondents × Annual responses × Hours per response = Burden hours 

Reporting Burden ...................................................................... 100 33 20 66,000 

Total Estimated Burden Hours: 

69,900. 

Status: Extension of currently 

approved collection.

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This Notice supplements the Notices 

that were published on August 30, 2010 

and September 8, 2010. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which 

implement the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), require 

that interested members of the public 

and affected agencies have an 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection and recordkeeping activities 

(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). This notice 

identifies an information collection 

activity that the Office of the Secretary 

has revised and resubmitted to OMB. 

This Notice is being published in 

order to provide the public with an 

opportunity to comment on revisions to 

the Klamath Non-use Valuation survey. 

On August 30, 2010, the Agency 

published a 30-day notice requesting 

comments and received one general 

comment on the overall design of the 

project, but no comments on the survey 

instrument. The pilot test was approved 

by OMB on December 14, 2010. 

However, the Agency received 

additional comments on the survey 

instrument subsequent to the approval 

of the information collection by OMB. 

These comments focused on the 

background material and description of 

the no action and action alternatives. 

Revisions were made in response to 

these comments. 

While the revised survey is being 

tested using cognitive interviews, 

individuals can submit comments to 

OMB on the revised survey at the 

address above. 

The Klamath River provides habitat 

for fall and spring run Chinook salmon 

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho 

salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 

steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), 

green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), 

Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentate), 

and Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys 

pacificus). Some of these species are 

important components of non-tribal 

harvest (e.g., fall Chinook, steelhead), 

some have important subsistence and 

cultural value to Klamath Basin tribes 

(e.g., salmon, sturgeon, lamprey, 

eulachon), and some are at low levels of 

abundance or Endangered Species Actlisted (e.g., spring Chinook, lamprey, 

coho, eulachon). 

Studies on the potential removal of 

four dams on the Klamath River owned 

by PacifiCorp are being conducted as a 

result of the Klamath Hydroelectic 

Settlement Agreement (KHSA) executed 

February 18, 2010. Under the KHSA, the 

Secretary of the Interior is to determine 

by March 31, 2012, whether the 

potential removal of these dams will 

advance restoration of the salmonid 

fisheries of the Klamath Basin and is in
