SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD has
submitted to OMB a request for approval of the information collection
described in Section A. The Federal Register notice that solicited
public comment on the information collection for a period of 60 days
was published on September 27, 2022 at 87 FR 58524.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Race and Ethnic Data Collection.
OMB Approval Number: 2535-0113.
Type of Request Revisions of currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD-27061.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
information collected through HUD's standardized Form for the
Collection of Race and Ethnic Data is required under 24 CFR--PART 1--
Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development--Effectuation of the Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. HUD's Title VI regulations, specifically 24
CFR 1.6, require recipients of Federal financial assistance to maintain
and submit racial and ethnic data so HUD may determine whether such
programs comply with Title VI data collection requirements. HUD must
offer individuals who are responding to agency data requests for race
the option of selecting one or more of five racial categories. HUD must
also treat ethnicity as a category separate from race. Title VI
requires recipients of HUD funding to maintain records, make them
available to responsible Department officials, and if requested, submit
compliance reports. For example, HUD grant programs may request
information during program monitoring and compliance reviews to ensure
compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements of Title VI.
A draft HUD--27061 Race and Ethnic Data Reporting Form is available
on HUD's website, <a href="https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/administration/hudclips/forms/">https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/administration/hudclips/forms/</a>, while HUD proceeds with seeking approval from OMB for
this information collection.
