Abstract: DHS has an obligation to enforce nondiscrimination requirements to ensure that its federally assisted programs and activities are administered in a nondiscriminatory manner. In order to carry out its enforcement responsibilities, DHS must obtain a signed assurance of compliance and collect and review information from recipients to ascertain their compliance with applicable requirements. DHS implementing regulations and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regulation Coordination of Non-discrimination in Federally Assisted Program, 28 C.F.R. Part 42, provide for the collection of data and information from recipients (see 28 C.F.R. 42.406). DHS uses DHS Form 3095: DHS Civil Rights Evaluation Tool as the primary tool to implement this information collection. The purpose of the information collection is to advise recipients of their civil rights obligations; obtain an assurance of compliance from each recipient, and collect pertinent civil rights information to ascertain if the recipient has in place adequate policies and procedures to achieve compliance, and to determine what, if any, further action may be needed to ensure the recipient is in compliance and will carry out its programs and activities in a nondiscriminatory manner.

Short Statement: DHS is not proposing any changes to the information collected in the form but is proposing changes to Section 1 of the form's instructions and Section 2 of the form to streamline and clarify the process for submitting the completed form. The form's changes to Section 1 and 2 do not impact the burden analysis. The burden has decreased from the previous reporting period (from 3331 to 2929 total respondents, or 2220 to 1962 annualized number of responses). Additionally, to clearly present information on annualized burden, DHS adjusted the method for calculating burden. DHS calculated burden based on the total number of respondents (2929) and annualized the number of responses per respondent (.67), whereas in the previous reporting period DHS calculated burden based on the number of responses (2220) assuming 1 response annually per respondent. These different calculation methods produce the same results but present the information differently.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $229,797
