SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that
solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60
days was published on September 21,
2016.
I. Background
As noted in the SUMMARY, elsewhere
in today’s Federal Register, HUD is
publishing its final rule entitled ‘‘Equal
Access in Accordance with an
Individual’s Gender Identity in
Community Planning and Development
Programs.’’ Through this final rule, HUD
ensures equal access to individuals in
accordance with their gender identity in
programs and shelter funded under
programs administered by HUD’s Office
of Community Planning and
Development (CPD). This rule builds
upon HUD’s February 2012 final rule
entitled ‘‘Equal Access to Housing in
HUD Programs Regardless of Sexual
Orientation or Gender Identity’’ (2012
Equal Access Rule), which aimed to
ensure that HUD’s housing programs
would be open to all eligible individuals
and families regardless of sexual
orientation, gender identity, or marital
status. The 2012 Equal Access Rule,
however, did not address how
transgender and gender non-conforming
individuals should be accommodated in
temporary, emergency shelters and
other buildings and facilities used for
shelter that have physical limitations or
configurations that require and that are
permitted to have shared sleeping
quarters or shared bathing facilities.1
This final rule published in today’s
Federal Register follows HUD’s
November 20, 2015 proposed rule,
which addressed this issue after
soliciting public comment. The final
rule requires that recipients and
subrecipients of CPD funding, as well as
owners, operators, and managers of
shelters, and other buildings and
facilities and providers of services
funded in whole or in part by any CPD
program to grant equal access to such
facilities, and other buildings and
facilities, benefits, accommodations and
services to individuals in accordance
with the individual’s gender identity,
and in a manner that affords equal
access to the individual’s family.
The notice set out in the appendix
presents an additional measure by HUD
to ensure that individuals seeking
placement or accommodation in a
shelter or other building or facility and
housing funded under a program
administered by CPD are aware of
HUD’s equal access policy, as
established in HUD’s 2012 Equal Access
Rule, and elaborated upon in the final
rule published in today’s Federal
Register. Through this PRA notice, HUD
proposes to require owners and
operators of CPD-funded shelters,
housing, buildings and other facilities to
post this notice on bulletin boards and
in other public places where individuals
staying in the shelter, building, housing
or facility or seeking placement or
accommodation in the shelter, building,
housing, or facility would see this
information. HUD strives to reduce
burden by providing the content of the
notice to be posted and estimates it will
take about six minutes for owners and
operators to print and post this notice.
All existing and new owners would be
required to post the notice only once,
and ensure that it remains visible to
those accessing the shelter, housing, or
facility.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Notice
on Equal Access Regardless of Sexual
Orientation, Gender Identity, or Marital
Status for HUD’s Community Planning
and Development Programs.
OMB Approval Number: 2506—New.

Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: As noted
above, the purposeof the notice set out
in the appendix to this PRA notice is to

placement or accommodation in a
shelter, building, housing or facility
funded under a program administered
by CPD are aware of HUD’s equal access
requirements, as established in HUD’s
2012 Equal Access Rule, and elaborated
upon in the final rule published in
today’s Federal Register.
Members of affected public: Owners
and operators of a shelter, building,
housing or facility funded under
programs administered by CPD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60 days was published on
September 21, 2016.
I. Background
As noted in the Summary, elsewhere in today's Federal Register, HUD
is publishing its final rule entitled ``Equal Access in Accordance with
an Individual's Gender Identity in Community Planning and Development
Programs.'' Through this final rule, HUD ensures equal access to
individuals in accordance with their gender identity in programs and
shelter funded under programs administered by HUD's Office of Community
Planning and Development (CPD). This rule builds upon HUD's February
2012 final rule entitled ``Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs
Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity'' (2012 Equal
Access Rule), which aimed to ensure that HUD's housing programs would
be open to all eligible individuals and families regardless of sexual
orientation, gender identity, or marital status. The 2012 Equal Access
Rule, however, did not address how transgender and gender non-
conforming individuals should be accommodated in temporary, emergency
shelters and other buildings and facilities used for shelter that have
physical limitations or configurations that require and that are
permitted to have shared sleeping quarters or shared bathing
facilities.\1\ This final rule published in today's Federal Register
follows HUD's November 20, 2015 proposed rule, which addressed this
issue after soliciting public comment. The final rule requires that
recipients and subrecipients of CPD funding, as well as owners,
operators, and managers of shelters, and other buildings and facilities
and providers of services funded in whole or in part by any CPD program
to grant equal access to such facilities, and other buildings and
facilities, benefits, accommodations and services to individuals in
accordance with the individual's gender identity, and in a manner that
affords equal access to the individual's family.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Shared sleeping quarters and shared bathing facilities are
those for simultaneous use by more than one person.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The notice set out in the appendix presents an additional measure
by HUD to ensure that individuals seeking placement or accommodation in
a shelter or other building or facility and housing funded under a
program administered by CPD are aware of HUD's equal access policy, as
established in HUD's 2012 Equal Access Rule, and elaborated upon in the
final rule published in today's Federal Register. Through this PRA
notice, HUD proposes to require owners and operators of CPD-funded
shelters, housing, buildings and other facilities to post this notice
on bulletin boards and in other public places where individuals staying
in the shelter, building, housing or facility or seeking placement or
accommodation in the shelter, building, housing, or facility would see
this information. HUD strives to reduce burden by providing the content
of the notice to be posted and estimates it will take about six minutes
for owners and operators to print and post this notice. All existing
and new owners would be required to post the notice only once, and
ensure that it remains visible to those accessing the shelter, housing,
or facility.

of Community Planning and Development (CPD) and MUST comply with the

your sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status, and

gender or sex stereotypes (i.e., because of your gender identity);
Grant you equal access to CPD programs or facilities
consistent with your gender identity, and provide your family with
equal access;
MUST NOT ask you to provide anatomical information or
documentary (like your ID), physical, or medical evidence of your

Take non-discriminatory steps when necessary and
appropriate to address privacy concerns raised by any residents or

If you think this program has violated any of these

your local HUD office for assistance with alleged violations of HUD
program regulations. Local offices can be found at: https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/field_policy_mgt/localoffices.
If you believe you have experienced housing discrimination

familial status, or sex, including discrimination because of gender
identity, contact 1-800-669-9777 or file a written complaint with
HUD at: www.hud.gov ``file a discrimination complaint''. Persons who
