Section 215 of Division G, Title II of
Public Law 108–199, enacted January
23, 2004 (HUD’s 2004 Appropriations
Act) amended section 224 of the Act, to
change the debenture interest rate for
purposes of calculating certain
insurance claim payments made in cash.
Therefore, for all claims paid in cash on
mortgages insured under section 203 or
234 of the National Housing Act and
endorsed for insurance after January 23,

2004, the debenture interest rate will be
the monthly average yield, for the
month in which the default on the
mortgage occurred, on United States
Treasury Securities adjusted to a
constant maturity of 10 years, as found
in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H–
15. The Federal Housing Administration
has codified this provision in HUD
regulations at 24 CFR 203.405(b) and 24
CFR 203.479(b).
Section 221(g)(4) of the Act provides
that debentures issued pursuant to that
paragraph (with respect to the
assignment of an insured mortgage to
the Secretary) will bear interest at the
‘‘going Federal rate’’ in effect at the time
the debentures are issued. The term
‘‘going Federal rate’’ is defined to mean
the interest rate that the Secretary of the
Treasury determines, pursuant to a
statutory formula based on the average
yield on all outstanding marketable
Treasury obligations of 8- to 12-year
maturities, for the 6-month periods of
January through June and July through
December of each year. Section 221(g)(4)
is implemented in the HUD regulations
at 24 CFR 221.255 and 24 CFR 221.790.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
determined that the interest rate to be
borne by debentures issued pursuant to
section 221(g)(4) during the 6-month
period beginning January 1, 2010, is 33⁄8
percent.
The subject matter of this notice falls
within the categorical exemption from
HUD’s environmental clearance
procedures set forth in 24 CFR
50.19(c)(6). For that reason, no
environmental finding has been
prepared for this notice.
(Authority: Sections 211, 221, 224, National
Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 1715b, 1715l, 1715o;
Section 7(d), Department of HUD Act, 42
U.S.C. 3535(d).)
Dated: January 6, 2010.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 2, 2010 / Notices
Abstract: We have contracted with the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to
conduct a survey of national wildlife
refuge visitors so that we can better
understand their recreational,
educational, and information
experiences. The Policy Analysis and
Science Assistance Branch of the USGS
will conduct the survey onsite at
approximately 75 national wildlife
refuges nationwide. Respondents will
have the option to return the survey by
mail or to complete it online.
We will use this survey to measure
visitor satisfaction with current visitor
services and facilities and their desire
for future services and facilities.
Information from this survey will
provide refuge managers, planners, and
visitor services professionals with
scientifically sound data that can be
used to:
• Prepare conservation planning
documents,
• Improve the design of visitor
facilities,
• Tailor visitor services and facilities
to match visitor interests and needs,
• Better protect refuge resources by
combining this data with biological
data, and
• Understand the economic impact of
visitors to the local community.
Additionally, this survey can target
public access and transportation
planning issues related to wildlifeoriented recreational opportunities such
as automobile tour routes, trails, parking
lots, and roads.
Comments: On February 3, 2009, we
published in the Federal Register (74
FR 5940) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB approve this
information collection. In that notice,
we solicited comments for 60 days,
ending on April 6, 2009. We received
three comments and addressed them as
follows:
Comment: One commenter requested
that the survey include questions on:
• Whether the visitor is a consumptive
or nonconsumptive wildlife user,
• What activities visitors do on
national wildlife refuges,
• Whether or not visitors are aware
that hunting and trapping are allowed
on national wildlife refuges,
• Appropriateness of allowing sport
hunting and trapping on national
wildlife refuges, and
• Compatibility of sport hunting and
trapping to the purpose of national
wildlife refuges.
Response: The survey contains
questions that directly address the first
two issues. Measuring public
understanding or perceptions about the
appropriateness of hunting on national
wildlife refuges is not an objective of

this study. However, the survey asks
visitors to rate the importance of and
their satisfaction with a list of uses and
services provided on refuges, including
hunting. The survey also provides an
opportunity for visitors to express their
opinions or concerns concerning
national wildlife refuge policies (such as
hunting and trapping on refuges).
Comment: The commenter stated that
we have conducted this survey every 5
years and that is enough. The
commenter also stated opposition to
hunting.
Response: We believe the commenter
is referring to the National Survey of
Fishing, Hunting and WildlifeAssociated Recreation. That survey is of
the general public and asks questions
about activities on all types of lands
(Federal, State, local, and private). The
proposed survey is of visitors to
national wildlife refuges only.
Responses to questions on the proposed
survey will help us better manage
national wildlife refuges.
Comment: We received a request for
a copy of the survey instrument and
information on sampling frames.
Response: The USGS provided a copy
of the draft survey instrument and a
description of the sampling frames.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
• The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
