Request for Substantial Equivalence For a state or local law to be certified as ‘‘substantially equivalent’’ and therefore be eligible to participate in the Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP), the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity must determine that the state or local law provides substantive rights, procedures, remedies, and the availability of judicial review that are substantially equivalent to those provided in the federal Fair Housing Act (the Act). State and local fair housing enforcement agencies that are seeking certification in accordance with Section 810(f) of the Act submit a request to the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. The request must be supported by the text of the jurisdiction’s fair housing law, the law creating and empowering the agency, all laws referenced in the jurisdiction’s fair housing law, any regulations and directives issued under the law, and any formal opinions of the State Attorney General or the chief legal officer of the jurisdiction that pertain to the jurisdiction’s fair housing law. B. Information Related to Agency Performance Once agencies are deemed substantially equivalent and are participating in the FHAP, HUD collects sufficient information to monitor agency performance in accordance with 24 CFR 115.206, which sets forth the performance standards for agencies participating in the FHAP.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Certification and Funding of State 
and Local Fair Housing Enforcement Agencies.
    OMB Approval Number: 2529-0005.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use:

A. Request for Substantial Equivalence

    For a state or local law to be certified as ``substantially 
equivalent'' and therefore be eligible to participate in the Fair 
Housing Assistance Program (FHAP), the Assistant Secretary for Fair 
Housing and Equal Opportunity must determine that the state or local 
law provides substantive rights, procedures, remedies, and the 
availability of judicial review that are substantially equivalent to 
those provided in the federal Fair Housing Act (the Act).
    State and local fair housing enforcement agencies that are seeking 
certification in accordance with Section 810(f) of the Act submit a 
request to the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity. The request must be supported by the text of the 
jurisdiction's fair housing law, the law creating and empowering the 
agency, all laws referenced in the jurisdiction's fair housing law, any 
regulations and directives issued under the law, and any formal 
opinions of the State Attorney General or the chief legal officer of 
the jurisdiction that pertain to the jurisdiction's fair housing law.

B. Information Related to Agency Performance

    Once agencies are deemed substantially equivalent and are 
participating in the FHAP, HUD collects sufficient information to 
monitor agency performance in accordance with 24 CFR 115.206, which 
sets forth the performance standards for agencies participating in the 
FHAP. These standards are meant to ensure that the state or local law, 
both ``on its face'' and ``in operation,'' provides substantive rights, 
procedures, remedies, and judicial review procedures for alleged 
discriminatory housing practices that are substantially equivalent to 
those provided in the Act. In addition, HUD collects sufficient 
information to

[[Page 44147]]

monitor agency compliance with 24 CFR 115.307 and 24 CFR 115.308, which 
set forth requirements for FHAP participation and reporting and record 
keeping requirements including, but not limited to, the requirement 
that FHAP agencies use HUD's official complaint data information 
system, and input complaint processing information into that system in 
a timely manner.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): State and local government 
agencies participating in the Fair Housing Assistance Program as well 
State and local government agencies applying to participate in the 
FHAP.
    Frequency/Burden: The Department estimates that requests for 
substantial equivalence will have the following reporting burdens:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  Number of               Annual              Hours per
                                 respondents     x      responses      x       response      =     Burden hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reporting Burden.............               5   ...               6   ...              15   ...             450
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department estimates that reporting information related to 
agency performance will have the following reporting burdens:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  Number of               Annual              Hours per
                                 respondents     x      responses      x       response      =     Burden hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPORTING BURDEN.............              88   ...              33   ...              20   ...          58,080

affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:

the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including

    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
