a complaint no later than one year after

the alleged discriminatory housing

practice occurs. The HUD–903 was

developed to provide for uniformity in

the documents that, by statute, must be

furnished to the person(s) against whom

complaints are filed as well as for the

convenience of the public. The HUD

regulation states what each complaint

should contain. For the purposes of

meeting the statutory time requirement

for filing complaints (1 year), initially

these complaints do not have to be

submitted on the form that HUD

provides. The Housing Discrimination

Complaint Form HUD–903 (English)

and HUD–903A (Spanish) may be filed

by mail, in person or by telephone with

the Office of Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity (FHEO), Department of

Housing and Urban Development. FHEO

staff uses the information provided by

this form as the basis for the

Department’s determination of

jurisdiction over a complaint’s

allegations.

Notice of Submission of Proposed

Information Collection to OMB

Title of Proposal: Housing

Discrimination Information Form.

Office: Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity.

OMB Control Number: 2529–0011.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: The

Housing Discrimination Information

Form is necessary for the collection of

information from person(s) who wish to

file a housing discrimination complaint

under the Fair Housing Act (the Act).

The Act makes it unlawful to

discriminate in housing and residential

real estate-related transactions based on

race, color, religion, sex, national origin,

familial; status or handicap (disability).

Any person who claims to have been

injured by a discriminatory housing

practice, or who believes that he or she

will be injured by a discriminatory

practice that is about to occur, may

bring their claim to HUD no later than

one year after the alleged discriminatory

housing practice takes place. The new

form provides for uniformity in

collecting information needed to contact

person(s) who file a complaint, and for

making initial assessments regarding

HUD’s jurisdiction under the Act.

Subsequently, such data is furnished to

person(s) against whom complaints are

filed, as required by statute.

Agency form numbers, if applicable:

Form HUD–903 (English) and HUD–

903A (Spanish).

Members of affected public:

Individuals or households, businesses

or other for-profit, not-for-profit

institutions, State, Local or Tribal

Government.

Estimation of the total numbers of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency or response, and

hours of responses: The Department

estimates that during the course of a

year, approximately 10,750 complaints

are submitted to HUD. It is estimated

that it takes a complainant

approximately 20 minutes to complete

the form. These forms are completed

one time by each complainant.

Therefore the total number of annual

burden hours for this form is 3583

hours. (10,750 × 1 (frequency) × 20

minutes = 3583 hours.)

There is no annualized cost to

complainants. Complainants submit the

form to HUD by mail using a postagepaid mailer at no cost to the

complainant. They also may complete

the form electronically via the Internet.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Reinstatement of a currently

approved revised collection to reflect

the collection of information from

person(s) wishing to file a housing

discrimination complaint.

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
