Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Americans with Disabilities 
Act Discrimination Complaint Form.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: No form number. The 
applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Disability 
Rights Section in the Civil Rights Division.
    4. Affected public who will be asked to respond, as well as a brief 
abstract: Primary: Individuals alleging discrimination by public 
entities based on disability. Under title II of the Americans with 
Disabilities Act, an individual who believes that he or she has been 
subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability by a public 
entity may, by himself or herself or by an authorized representative, 
file a complaint. Any Federal agency that receives a complaint of 
discrimination by a public entity is required to review the complaint 
to determine whether it has jurisdiction under section 504 of the 
Rehabilitation Act. If the agency does not have jurisdiction, it must 
determine whether it is the designated agency responsible for 
complaints filed against that public entity. If the agency does not 
have jurisdiction under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and is 
not the designated agency, it must refer the complaint to the 
Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then must refer the 
complaint to the appropriate agency.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 9,100 
respondents per year at 0.50 hours per complaint form.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 4550 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take 
0.50 hour to complete the questionnaire. The burden hours for 
collecting respondent data sum to 4550 hours (9100 respondents x 0.50 
hours = 4550 hours).
