entities based on disability. Under title II of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, an individual who believes that he or she has been
subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability by a public
entity may, by himself or herself or by an authorized representative,
file a complaint. Any Federal agency that receives a complaint of
discrimination by a public entity is required to review the complaint
to determine whether it has jurisdiction under section 504. If the
agency does not have jurisdiction, it must determine whether it is the
designated agency responsible for complaints filed against that public
entity. If the agency does not have jurisdiction under section 504 and
is not the designated agency, it must refer the complaint to the
Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then must refer the
complaint to the appropriate agency.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 5,000
respondents per year at 0.75 hours per complaint form.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 3,750 hours annual burden.
