SUMMARY:
The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Office for Civil Rights and Civil

investigates civil rights and civil
liberties complaints filed by the public
regarding U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) policies and activities.
Under 6 U.S.C. 345 and 42 U.S.C.
2000ee–1, CRCL reviews and assesses
allegations involving a range of alleged
civil rights and civil liberties abuses,
such as:
• Discrimination based on race,
ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, or
disability;
• Violation of rights while in
immigration detention or as subject of
immigration enforcement;
• Discrimination or inappropriate
questioning related to entry into the
United States;
• Violation of due process rights,
such as the right to timely notice of
charges or access to lawyer;
• Violation of confidentiality
provisions of the Violence Against
Women Act;
• Physical abuse or any other type of
abuse;
• Denial of meaningful access to DHS
or DHS-supported programs, activities,
or services due to limited English
proficiency and
• Any other civil rights, civil
liberties, or human rights violation
related to a Department program or
activity, including allegations of
discrimination by an organization or

program that receives financial
assistance from DHS.
CRCL also reviews and investigates
human rights complaints under
Executive Order 13107, disability
accommodation complaints under
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and inaccessible Information and
Communication Technology (ICT)
complaints under Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act, as amended by the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub.
L. 105–220), codified at 29 U.S.C. 794.
The information collected on this form
will allow CRCL to review and
investigate civil rights and civil liberties
complaints filed by the public regarding
DHS programs and activities.
CRCL submits copies all external
allegations of civil rights and civil
liberties violations within its
jurisdiction that it receives to the DHS
Office of Inspector General (OIG) for
review because OIG has the right of first
refusal to investigate any allegations. If
the OIG declines to investigate the
allegations, CRCL may investigate.
CRCL coordinates with DHS
Components and the OIG regarding
matters that CRCL opens as complaint
investigations as well as some it decides
not to investigate. In general, CRCL
shares the incoming information with
the Components involved and
coordinates with the Components
throughout a CRCL investigation. As a
result of its complaint investigations,
CRCL issues recommendations to DHS
Components to address issues of
concern and to enhance the agency’s
civil rights and civil liberties
protections. CRCL has also engaged with
Components on the implementation of
such recommendations.
In addition, the information provided
is entered into a CRCL complaint
management system (CMS) and may be
used by CRCL to track allegations and
identify trends and systemic issues that
are within CRCL’s jurisdiction
regardless of whether CRCL investigates
an individual allegation. CRCL has used
information from these database records
to notify DHS Components of issue
areas and locations that may warrant
closer attention.
Information can be submitted to CRCL
via U.S. mail, email, fax, or telephone
and may be initiated by members of the
public, federal agencies, or agency
personnel, non-governmental
organizations, media reports or other
sources. The use of the complaint form
is optional.
The form is in a fillable accessible
PDF format and can be submitted by
U.S. mail, email, or fax to CRCL. The
use of this form provides an efficient
means for collecting and processing
PO 00000
Frm 00127
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
required data and information useful to
conduct an investigation. To minimize
administrative burden on complainants
and the Department, submission of
information electronically, via email, is
the fastest way to reach CRCL.
Information provided by complainants
is maintained in electronic format, so
provided the information electronically
will further minimize administrative
burden.
If a complainant is unable to or does
not wish to submit their information
electronically, information can be
submitted via U.S. mail, fax, or phone
call. It is noted on CRCL’s website that
postal mail can take up to 20 business
days. CRCL is about the launch a new
CMS that would support other means of
submitting a complaint (e.g., web portal)
and these are enhancements that will be
considered in the future.
This information collection does not
have an impact on small businesses or
other small entities.
If the information collection is not
conducted or is conducted less
frequently, CRCL may not be able to
effectively fulfill its statutory obligation
to the public to review and investigate
allegations involving alleged civil rights
and civil liberties abuses regarding DHS
polices and activities.
Consequences for not using the
fillable form include overall delays in
processing and an increased frequency
in need to follow up with complainants
to obtain the types of information
requested on the form.
The assurance of confidentiality
provided to the respondents for this
information collection will be provided
by: CRCL’s statute under 6 U.S.C. 345,
42 U.S.C. 2000ee–1; the Privacy Impact
Assessment for the CRCL Complaint
Form and Privacy Waiver; and the
Systems of Record Notice: Department
of Homeland Security/ALL–029 Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties Records
System of Records. This is a new
information collection and, therefore,
there are no changes.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

4. Minimize the burden of the

are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
requests its applicants to supply
environmental information that is not
otherwise available to HUD staff for the
environmental review on an applicant’s
proposal for HUD financial assistance to
develop or improve housing or
community facilities. HUD itself must
perform an environmental review for
the purpose of compliance with its
environmental regulations found at 24
CFR part 50, Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental Quality.
Part 50 implements the National
Environmental Policy Act and
implementing procedures of the Council
on Environmental Quality, as well as
the related federal environmental laws
and executive orders. HUD’s agencywide provisions—24 CFR 50.3(h)(1) and
50.32—regulate how individual HUD
program staffs are to utilize such
collected data when HUD itself prepares
the environmental review and
compliance. Separately, individual HUD
programs each have their own
regulations and guidance implementing
environmental and related collection
responsibilities. For the next three
years, this approved collection will
continue unchanged under this OMB
control number to assure adequate
coverage for all HUD programs subject
to Part 50.
Respondents: Businesses, not-forprofit institutions, and local
governments receiving HUD funding.
