Abstract: The Office for Civil Rights is seeking a revision on an approval for a 3-year clearance on a previous collection. Individuals may file written or electronic complaints with the Office for Civil Rights when they believe they have been discriminated against by programs or entities that receive Federal financial assistance from the Health and Human Service or if they believe that their right to the privacy of protected health information freedom has been violated. Annual Number of Respondents frequency of submission is record keeping and reporting on occasion.
Title of the Collection: Assurance of Compliance, Form HHS-690.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No. 0945-0008.
Abstract: This Information Collection Request is to continue the previously approved collection 0945-0008 that is expiring in December 2022, titled: Assurance of Compliance, Form HHS-690, subject to minor modifications. Such an assurance is required by the federal civil rights laws enforced by the Office for Civil Rights, as described herein. One method that the federal government uses to ensure civil rights compliance is to require covered entities to submit written assurances of compliance when applying for federal financial assistance. The assurances alert covered entities of their civil rights obligations and provide the Department with a valuable enforcement tool, as a recipient's written assurance and certification documents can provide an independent contractual basis for enforcement of nondiscrimination requirements.
