Frequency of

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 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 FHA. In addition, HUD
collects sufficient information to
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

On August 30, 2010, the Agency
published a 30-day notice requesting
comments and received one general
comment on the overall design of the
project, but no comments on the survey
instrument. The pilot test was approved
by OMB on December 14, 2010.
However, the Agency received
additional comments on the survey
instrument subsequent to the approval
of the information collection by OMB.
These comments focused on the
background material and description of
the no action and action alternatives.
Revisions were made in response to
these comments.
While the revised survey is being
tested using cognitive interviews,
individuals can submit comments to
OMB on the revised survey at the
address above.
The Klamath River provides habitat
for fall and spring run Chinook salmon
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho
salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch),
steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss),
green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris),
Pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentate),
and Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys
pacificus). Some of these species are
important components of non-tribal
harvest (e.g., fall Chinook, steelhead),
some have important subsistence and
cultural value to Klamath Basin tribes
(e.g., salmon, sturgeon, lamprey,
eulachon), and some are at low levels of
abundance or Endangered Species Actlisted (e.g., spring Chinook, lamprey,
coho, eulachon).
Studies on the potential removal of
four dams on the Klamath River owned
by PacifiCorp are being conducted as a
result of the Klamath Hydroelectic
Settlement Agreement (KHSA) executed
February 18, 2010. Under the KHSA, the
Secretary of the Interior is to determine
by March 31, 2012, whether the
potential removal of these dams will
advance restoration of the salmonid
fisheries of the Klamath Basin and is in

Fair Housing Enforcement Agencies.
Office: Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
OMB Control Number: 2529-0005.
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
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 FHA. In addition, HUD collects sufficient
information to 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
[[Page 9046]]
data information system, and input complaint processing information
into that system in a timely manner.

substantial equivalence will have the following reporting burdens:

respondents x responses x response = Burden hours
