Who Must Sign Form HHS-690
If you apply for or receive HHS financial assistance, you must provide an Assurance of Compliance using Form HHS-690 (OMB Control Number 0945-0008). The collection is being revised before the current approval expires on April 30, 2026, and respondents provide the form when they apply for or receive new HHS funds.
Paperwork Time and Labor Costs
HHS estimates 8,486 respondents will each spend 4 hours to complete Form HHS-690, totaling 33,944 annual burden hours. HHS estimates the loaded labor cost at $124.12/hour, $496.48 per respondent, and $4,213,379.28 total annual labor cost.
False Claims Act Liability Noted
The revised Form HHS-690 will include a specific reference to the False Claims Act because compliance is a material condition of receiving federal funds, and a recipient's assurance could give rise to a False Claims Act violation.
Changes to Sex Definition Language
The revision modifies the parenthetical definitions of “sex” for Title IX and Section 1557 to align closely with statutory text and to conform to Executive Order 14168 and the court order in Texas v. Becerra (E.D. Tex. Aug. 30, 2024).
