evaluation of the Indian Housing Block
Grant (IHBG). This evaluation will

communities that are selected for the
study.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of

Housing Act (the FHA) 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

B. Information Related to Agency Performance
Once agencies are participating in the FHAP, HUD collects

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.
