HRSA also makes determinations of
deemed PHS employment status for
health centers funded under section 330
(including subrecipients), which also
extends to certain statutorily eligible
‘‘covered individuals,’’ for purposes of
providing liability protections under the
Health Center Federal Tort Claims Act
(FTCA) Program. A favorable FTCA
deeming determination requires
approval by HRSA of an application
submitted by the Health Center Program
awardee in the form and manner
specified by HRSA. Health centers may
also sponsor individual health
professional volunteers for such
protections. Sections 224(g)–(n) and (q)
of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 233(g)–(n),
and (q)) authorize the Health Center
FTCA Program and afford eligibility for
FTCA coverage as the exclusive civil
remedy for acts or omissions arising
within the scope of deemed federal
employment in the performance of
medical, surgical, dental, or related
functions.
The Compliance Manual restates the
Health Center Program’s statutory and
regulatory requirements and provides
guidance on how health centers would
demonstrate compliance with such
requirements to HRSA. However, the
Compliance Manual also allows health
centers to submit alternative means of
demonstrating compliance with the
specified Health Center Program
requirements. All means of
demonstrating compliance are subject to
HRSA review and approval.
Organizations receiving Health Center
Program federal awards, including
subrecipients, continue to be subject to
all requirements incorporated within
terms and conditions stated in Notices
of Funding Opportunity, Notices of
Award, and other applicable laws,
regulations, and policies, as well as the
distinct statutory, regulatory, and policy
requirements of other federal programs
in which they participate.
Dated: September 13, 2017.

ADDRESSES:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Housing Discrimination Information
Form (‘‘HUD–903.1’’).
OMB Approval Number: 2529–0011.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approval information
collection.
Form Number: Form HUD–903.1
(English), Form HUD–903.1A (Spanish),
Form HUD–903.1B (Chinese), Form
HUD–903.1C (Arabic), Form HUD–
903.1F (Vietnamese), Form HUD–
903.1CAM (Cambodian), Form HUD–
903.1KOR (Korean), Form HUD–
903.1RUS (Russian), and Form HUD–
903–1_(Somali).
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
uses the Housing Discrimination
Information Form HUD–903.1 (Form) to
collect pertinent information from
persons wishing to file housing
discrimination complaints with HUD
under the Fair Housing Act. The Fair
Housing Act makes it unlawful to
discriminate in the sale, rental,
occupancy, advertising, or insuring of
residential dwellings; or to discriminate
in residential real estate-related
transactions; or in the provision of
brokerage services, based on race, color,

religion, sex, handicap [disability],
familial status, or national origin.
Any person who claims to have been
injured by a discriminatory housing
practice, or any person who believes
that he or she will be injured by a
discriminatory housing practice that is
about to occur, may file a complaint
with HUD not later than one year after
the alleged discriminatory housing
practice occurs or terminates. The Form
promotes consistency in the collection
of information necessary to contact
persons who file housing discrimination
complaints with HUD. It also aids in the
collection of information necessary for
initial assessments of HUD’s authority
to investigate alleged discriminatory
housing practices under the Fair
Housing Act. This information may
subsequently be provided to persons
against whom complaints are filed
[‘‘respondents’’], as required under
section 810(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Fair
Housing Act.
Respondents (i.e., affected public):
Individuals or households; businesses
or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection, including the number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of responses: During FY 2016,
HUD staff received approximately
14,216 information submissions from
persons wishing to file housing
discrimination complaints with HUD.
Telephone contacts accounted for 1,548
of this total. The remaining 12,668
complaint submissions were transmitted
to HUD by mail, in-person, by email,
and via the Internet. HUD estimates that
an aggrieved person requires
approximately 45 minutes in which to
complete this Form. The Form is
completed once by each aggrieved
person. Therefore, the total number of
annual burden hours for this Form is
9,501 hours.
12,668 × 1 (frequency) × .45 minutes
(.75 hours) = 9,501 hours.
Annualized cost burden to
complainants: HUD does not provide
postage-paid mailers for this
information collection. Accordingly,
persons who choose to submit this Form
to HUD by mail must pay the prevailing
cost of First Class Postage. As of the date
of this Notice, the annualized cost
burden per person, based on a one-time
submission of this Form to HUD via
First Class Postage, is Forty-Nine Cents
($0.49) per person. During FY 2016,
FHEO staff received approximately
3,450 submissions of potential
complaint information by mail. Based
