for an occupancy rate of less than 93
percent, 2 points for an occupancy rate
of 93 percent but less than 96 percent,
and 5 points for an occupancy rate of 96
percent or greater.
II. Action
The PHAS interim rule is the first rule
to assess and score PHAs under the
asset management model. Because the
rule was effective for PHA fiscal years
ending the month following the
February 2011 publication date in the
Federal Register, HUD recognizes that
PHAs may not have been fully prepared
for the changes to the assessments,
performance standards, and
corresponding changes in scoring,
specifically as relates to the subindicator that assesses the occupancy
rate.
Accordingly, this notice advises that
for PHA’s with fiscal years ending
March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011,
September 30, 2011 and December 31,
2011, HUD is awarding all PHAs 5
points for the occupancy rate subindicator under the Capital Fund
Program Indicator. The score already
assigned for occupancy rate subindicator of the Capital Fund score is
advisory only as of the effective date of
this notice, and will remain advisory for
a period of one year from the date of
publication of this notice.
HUD welcomes public comment on
the scoring adjustment HUD intends to
take as provided in this notice.
Following expiration of the advisory
score period HUD will issue revisions of
the Capital Fund indicator scores,
which will result in revised PHAS
scores for certain PHAs, beginning on
the effective date of this notice. HUD
will publish a final notice after
consideration of the public comments
received in response to this notice.
Dated: June 5, 2012.

Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing.

We (the U.S. Geological
Survey) will ask the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve the information collection (IC)
described below. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, and as part of our continuing
efforts to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, we invite the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on this IC.
DATE: You must submit comments on or
before August 10, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Please submit a copy of
your comments to the Information

Geological Survey, 12201 Sunrise Valley

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The USGS provides warnings and
notification to the public of volcanic
activity in the U.S. in order to reduce
the loss of life, property, and economic
and societal impacts. USGS will use
reports entered in real time by
respondents of ash fall in their local
area to correct or refine ash fall forecasts
as the ash cloud moves downwind.
Retrospectively these reports will enable
USGS to improve their ash fall models
and further research into eruptive
processes.
This project will create a database
module and web interface allowing the
public and Alaska Volcano Observatory
(AVO) staff to enter reports of ash fall
in their local area in real time and
retrospectively following an eruptive
event. Users browsing the AVO Web site
during eruptions will be directed
towards a web form allowing them to
fill in ash fall information and submit
the information to AVO.
Compiled ash fall reports will be
available in real-time to AVO staff
through the AVO internal Web site. A
pre-formatted summary report or table
that distills information received online
will show ash fall reports in
chronological order with key fields
including (1) date and time of ash fall,
(2) location, (3) positive or negative ash
fall (4) name of observer, and (5) contact
information should be easily viewable
on the report so that calls for
clarification can be made by AVO staff

quickly and Operations room staff can
visualize the information quickly.
Ash fall report data will also be
displayed on a dynamic map interface
and show positive (yes ash) and
negative (no ash) ash fall reports by
location. Ash fall reports (icons) will be
publically displayed for a period of 24
hours and shaded differently as they age
so that the age of reports is obvious.
The ash fall report database will help
AVO track eruption clouds and
associated fallout downwind. These
reports from the public will also give
scientists a more complete record of the
amount and duration and other
conditions of ash fall. Getting first-hand
accounts of ash fall will support model
ash fall development and interpretation
of satellite imagery. AVO scientists
will—as time allows—be able to contact
the individuals using their entered
contact information for clarification and
details. Knowing the locations from
which ash-fall reports have been filed
will improve ash fall warning messages,
AVO Volcanic Activity Notifications,
and make fieldwork more efficient. AVO
staff will be able to condense and
summarize the various ash fall reports
and forward that information on to
emergency management agencies and
the wider public. The online form will
also free up resources during
exceedingly busy times during an
eruption, as most individuals currently
phone AVO with their reports.
