HRSA also makes determinations of 

deemed PHS employment status for 

health centers funded under section 330 

(including subrecipients), which also 

extends to certain statutorily eligible 

‘‘covered individuals,’’ for purposes of 

providing liability protections under the 

Health Center Federal Tort Claims Act 

(FTCA) Program. A favorable FTCA 

deeming determination requires 

approval by HRSA of an application 

submitted by the Health Center Program 

awardee in the form and manner 

specified by HRSA. Health centers may 

also sponsor individual health 

professional volunteers for such 

protections. Sections 224(g)–(n) and (q) 

of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 233(g)–(n), 

and (q)) authorize the Health Center 

FTCA Program and afford eligibility for 

FTCA coverage as the exclusive civil 

remedy for acts or omissions arising 

within the scope of deemed federal 

employment in the performance of 

medical, surgical, dental, or related 

functions. 

The Compliance Manual restates the 

Health Center Program’s statutory and 

regulatory requirements and provides 

guidance on how health centers would 

demonstrate compliance with such 

requirements to HRSA. However, the 

Compliance Manual also allows health 

centers to submit alternative means of 

demonstrating compliance with the 

specified Health Center Program 

requirements. All means of 

demonstrating compliance are subject to 

HRSA review and approval. 

Organizations receiving Health Center 

Program federal awards, including 

subrecipients, continue to be subject to 

all requirements incorporated within 

terms and conditions stated in Notices 

of Funding Opportunity, Notices of 

Award, and other applicable laws, 

regulations, and policies, as well as the 

distinct statutory, regulatory, and policy 

requirements of other federal programs 

in which they participate.

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Housing Discrimination Information 

Form (‘‘HUD–903.1’’). 

OMB Approval Number: 2529–0011. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approval information 

collection. 

Form Number: 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). 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: HUD 

uses the Housing Discrimination 

Information 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 estate-related 

transactions; or in the provision of 

brokerage services, based on race, color, 

religion, sex, handicap [disability], 

familial status, or national origin. 

Any person who claims to have been 

injured by a discriminatory housing 

practice, or any person who believes 

that he or she 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. 

Respondents (i.e., 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 2016, 

HUD staff received approximately 

14,216 information submissions from 

persons wishing to file housing 

discrimination complaints with HUD. 

Telephone contacts accounted for 1,548 

of this total. The remaining 12,668 

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 

9,501 hours. 

12,668 × 1 (frequency) × .45 minutes 

(.75 hours) = 9,501 hours. 

Annualized cost burden to 

complainants: HUD does not provide 

postage-paid mailers for this 

information collection. Accordingly, 

persons who choose to submit this Form 

to HUD by mail must pay the prevailing 

cost of First Class Postage. 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 

First Class Postage, is Forty-Nine Cents 

($0.49) per person. During FY 2016, 

FHEO staff received approximately 

3,450 submissions of potential 

complaint information by mail. Based
