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

43996 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 20, 2017 / Notices 

on this number, HUD estimates that the 

total annualized cost burden for 

aggrieved persons who submit this Form 

to HUD by mail is $1,690.50. Aggrieved 

persons also may submit this Form to 

HUD in person, by facsimile, by email, 

or electronically via the Internet. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Renewal of a currently 

approved collection of pertinent 

information from persons wishing to file 

Fair Housing Act complaints with HUD. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

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:

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

ConnectHome Expansion Data 

Collection. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528– 

Pending. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

purpose of this effort is to support 

communities who ‘‘take-up’’ the 

ConnectHome Challenge to close the 

digital divide among HUD-assisted 

households. The ConnectHome 

Challenge will call on Mayors, County 

Executives, Tribal Leaders, Housing 

Agencies and other Housing Providers, 

and other community leaders to agree to 

close the digital divide among HUDassisted households. 

In signing on to The ConnectHome 

Challenge, a community is committing, 

among other things, to: (1) Establish 

(possibly in collaboration with their 

local knowledge institutions) baseline 

estimates of the percent of HUD-assisted 

households with in-home high-speed 

Internet that is not reliant on a 

smartphone; (2) collaborate with local 

stakeholders to establish performance 

targets for increasing in-home highspeed Internet adoption; (3) establish 

and share with HUD the local strategies 

for achieving in-home high-speed 

Internet adoption targets; and (4) 

develop and execute an implementation 

plan and share progress with HUD.
