Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 88 / Friday, May 6, 2022 / Notices 27177 

when HUD investigates a jurisdictional 

familial status discrimination complaint 

filed against the housing provider under 

the Fair Housing Act, and if and when 

the housing provider claims the ‘‘55 or 

older’’ housing exemption as an 

affirmative defense to the complaint. 

Agency form number(s), if applicable: 

None. 

Members of affected public: The 

HOPA requires that small businesses 

and other small entities that operate 

housing intended for occupancy by 

persons 55 years of age or older must 

routinely collect and update reliable age 

verification information necessary to 

meet the eligibility criteria for the 

HOPA exemption. The record keeping 

requirements are the responsibility of 

the housing provider that seeks to 

qualify for the HOPA exemption. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection, including the number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: 

Housing providers claiming eligibility 

for the HOPA’s ‘‘55 or older’’ housing 

exemption must demonstrate ongoing 

compliance with the HOPA exemption 

requirements. The HOPA does not 

authorize HUD to require submission of 

this information by individual housing 

providers as a means of certifying that 

their housing communities or facilities 

qualify for the exemption. Further, since 

the HOPA has no mandatory registration 

requirement, HUD cannot ascertain the 

actual number of housing facilities and 

communities that are currently 

collecting this information with the 

intention of qualifying for the HOPA 

exemption. Accordingly, HUD has 

estimated that approximately 1,000 

housing facilities or communities would 

seek to qualify for the HOPA exemption. 

HUD has estimated that the occupancy/ 

age verification data would require 

routine updating with each new housing 

transaction within the facility or 

community, and that the number of 

such transactions per year might vary 

significantly depending on the size and 

nature of the facility or community. 

HUD also estimated the average number 

of housing transactions per year at ten 

(10) transactions per community. HUD 

concluded that the publication of 

policies and procedures is likely to be 

a one-time event, and in most cases will 

require no additional burden beyond 

what is done in the normal course of 

business. The estimated total annual 

burden hours are 5,500 hours [See Table 

below].
