SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department is submitting the proposed 

information collection to OMB for 

review, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 34, as amended). 

This Notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning the proposed 

collection of information to: (1) Enhance 

the certification and funding of State 

and local fair housing enforcement 

agencies; (2) Enhance the quality,

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
