SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD is 

submitting this proposed reinstatement, 

with revised title and minor text 

revisions, of an expired, previously 

approved information collection to the 

OMB for review, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended]. 

HUD has revised the previous title of 

the HUD Form Series HUD–903.1 

information collection from ‘‘Housing 

Discrimination Information Form’’ to 

‘‘Housing Discrimination Claim Form 

(‘‘Form’’).’’ This revised title 

emphasizes that submitting a Housing 

Discrimination Claim Form to HUD is 

not equivalent to filing a jurisdictional 

housing discrimination complaint with 

HUD. The proposed minor text revisions 

comply with the procedures described 

in HUD’s Fair Housing Act regulation at 

24 CFR part 103, subpart B, Subsections 

103.10, 103.15, 103.20, 103.25, 103.30, 

103.35, and 103.40. The revised Form 

also provides a complete list of mailing 

addresses, email addresses, and fax 

numbers for HUD’s ten (10) Regional 

Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity 

(FHEO) Offices. 

The proposed minor text revisions to 

HUD Form Series HUD–903.1 will not 

increase the information collection 

burden for aggrieved persons. Both the 

previous and revised Forms ask an 

aggrieved person to provide their full 

name; address; phone and/or email 

contact information; and alternative 

contact information. Both Forms also 

ask the aggrieved person to answer five 

(5) preliminary questions that may 

establish HUD’s authority (jurisdiction) 

to file and investigate a Fair Housing 

Act complaint. 

The proposed minor text revisions to 

HUD Form Series HUD–903.1 will not 

increase the total annual burden hours 

for aggrieved persons who submit the 

Form to HUD via the internet. 

Therefore, HUD does not believe that 

the time for completing the online 

version of the Form will exceed the 

current 45-minute time limit for internet 

submissions. 

This Notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning the proposed 

reinstatement, with revised title and 

minor text revisions, of an expired, 

previously approved collection of 

information concerning alleged 

discriminatory housing practices under 

the Fair Housing Act [42 U.S.C. 3601 et 

seq.]. The Fair Housing Act prohibits 

discrimination in the sale, rental, 

occupancy, advertising, and insuring of 

residential dwellings; and in residential 

real estate-related transactions; and in 

the provision of brokerage services, 

based on race, color, religion, sex, 

handicap [disability], familial status, or 

national origin. The Fair Housing Act 

also makes it unlawful to coerce, 

intimidate, threaten, or interfere with 

any person who has (1) exercised their 

fair housing rights; or (2) aided or 

encouraged another person to exercise 

their fair housing rights. 

Any person who claims to have been 

injured by a discriminatory housing 

practice, or any person who believes 

that they will be injured by a 

discriminatory housing practice that is 

about to occur, may file a complaint 

with HUD not later than one year after 

the alleged discriminatory housing 

practice occurred or terminated. HUD 

has designed Housing Discrimination 

Claim Form HUD–903.1 to promote 

consistency in the documents that, by 

statute, must be provided to persons 

against whom complaints are filed 

[‘‘respondents’’], and for the 

convenience of the general public. 

Section 103.25 of HUD’s Fair Housing 

Act regulation describes the information 

that must be included in each complaint 

filed with HUD. For purposes of 

meeting the Act’s one-year time 

limitation for filing complaints with 

HUD, complaints need not be initially 

submitted on the Form that HUD 

provides. Housing Discrimination Claim

1_(Somali language) may be submitted 

to HUD by mail, in person, by facsimile, 

by email, or via the internet to HUD’s 

Office of Fair Housing and Equal 

Opportunity (FHEO). FHEO staff uses 

the information provided on the Form to 

verify HUD’s authority to investigate the 

aggrieved person’s allegations under the 

Fair Housing Act. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Proposed Revised Title of Information 

Collection: Housing Discrimination 

Claim Form. 

OMB Control Number: 2529–0011. 

Type of Request: Proposed 

reinstatement, with revised title and 

minor text revisions, of an expired, 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Form Number: HUD–903.1. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD 

uses the Housing Discrimination Claim 

Form HUD–903.1 (Form) to collect 

pertinent information from persons 

wishing to file housing discrimination 

complaints with HUD under the Fair 

Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act 

makes it unlawful to discriminate in the 

sale, rental, occupancy, advertising, or 

insuring of residential dwellings; or to 

discriminate in residential real estaterelated transactions; or in the provision 

of brokerage services, based on race, 

color, religion, sex, handicap 

[disability], familial status, or national 

origin. The Fair Housing Act also makes 

it unlawful to coerce, intimidate, 

threaten, or interfere with any person 

who has (1) exercised their fair housing 

rights; or (2) aided or encouraged 

another person to exercise their fair 

housing rights. 

Any person who claims to have been 

injured by a discriminatory housing 

practice, or any person who believes 

that they will be injured by a 

discriminatory housing practice that is 

about to occur, may file a complaint 

with HUD not later than one year after 

the alleged discriminatory housing 

practice occurs or terminates. The Form 

promotes consistency in the collection 

of information necessary to contact 

persons who file housing discrimination 

complaints with HUD. It also aids in the 

collection of information necessary for 

initial assessments of HUD’s authority 

to investigate alleged discriminatory 

housing practices under the Fair 

Housing Act. This information may 

subsequently be provided to persons 

against whom complaints are filed 

[‘‘respondents’’], as required under 

section 810(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Fair 

Housing Act. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

Form HUD–903.1 (English), Form HUD– 

903.1A (Spanish), Form HUD–903.1B 

(Chinese), Form HUD–903.1C (Arabic), 

Form HUD–903.1F (Vietnamese), Form 

HUD–903.1CAM (Cambodian), Form 

HUD–903.1KOR (Korean), Form HUD– 

903.1RUS (Russian), and Form HUD– 

903–1_(Somali). 

Members of affected public: 

Individuals or households; businesses 

or other for-profit, not-for-profit 

institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments. 

Estimation of the total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection, including the number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of responses: During FY 2020, 

HUD staff received approximately 

21,846 information submissions from 

persons wishing to file housing 

discrimination complaints with HUD. 

Of this total, HUD received 1,298 

complaint submissions by telephone. 

The remaining 20,548 complaint 

submissions were transmitted to HUD 

by mail, in-person, by email, and via the 

internet. HUD estimates that an 

aggrieved person requires 

approximately 45 minutes in which to 

complete this Form. The Form is 

completed once by each aggrieved 

person. Therefore, the total number of 

annual burden hours for this Form is 

15,411 hours. 

20,548 × 1 (frequency) × .45 minutes 

(.75 hours) = 15,411 hours. 

Annualized cost burden to 

complainants: HUD does not provide 

postage-paid mailers for this 

information collection. Accordingly, 

aggrieved persons choosing to submit 

this Form to HUD by regular mail must 

pay the United States Postal Service’s 

(USPS) prevailing First Class Postage 

rate. As of the date of this Notice, the 

annualized cost burden per person, 

based on a one-time submission of this 

Form to HUD via the USPS’s First Class 

Postage rate, is Fifty-five Cents ($0.55) 

per person. During FY 2020, FHEO staff 

received approximately 1,533 

submissions of potential complaint 

information by mail. Based on this 

number, HUD estimates that the total 

annualized cost burden for aggrieved 

persons who submit this Form to HUD 

by mail is $843.00. Aggrieved persons 

may also submit this Form to HUD in 

person, by facsimile, by email, or 

electronically via the internet. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Proposed reinstatement, with 

revised title and minor text revisions, of 

an expired, previously approved 

collection of pertinent information from 

persons wishing to file Fair Housing Act 

complaints with HUD. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comments 

This Notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following: 

(1) Whether the proposed information 

collection is necessary for the 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) Whether the agency’s estimate of 

burdens imposed by the information 

collection is accurate; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to minimize the burdens of 

the information collection on aggrieved 

persons, including the use of 

appropriate automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology, e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. HUD 

encourages interested parties to submit 

comments in response to these 

questions. 

C. Authority

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