domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, or stalking. The PHA’s,
owner’s, or manager’s request for
documentation must be made in
writing. On the certification form, the
individual certifies that s/he is a victim
of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault or stalking, and that the
incident or incidences in question are
bona fide incidences of such actual or
threatened abuse. On the certification
form, the individual must provide the
name of the perpetrator only if the name
of the perpetrator is safe to provide, and
is known to the victim. PHAs are
instructed that the delivery of the
certification form to the tenant in
response to an incident(s) via mail may
place the victim at risk, e.g., the abuser
may monitor the mail; consequently,
PHAs, owners and management agents
may require that the tenant come into
the office to pick up the certification
form. PHAs and owners are also
encouraged to work with tenants to
make delivery arrangements that do not
place the tenant at risk. If the PHA,
owner, or manager provides the
individual with a written request for
documentation of the abuse, and the
individual does not provide the
certification form, or alternate
documentation as described on the
certification form, within 14 business
days from the date of receipt of the
PHA’s, owner’s, or manager’s written
request (or after any extension of that
date provided by the PHA, owner or
manager), the Victim cannot be assured
s/he will receive VAWA protections.
Note, On August 6, 2013, HUD
published in the Federal Register
(Volume 78, Number 151, 47717) a
notice describing the impacts of the
VAWA 2013 on HUD programs. The
notice provided an overview of the key
ways in which VAWA 2013 would
enhance existing VAWA protections for
victims of domestic violence, dating
violence and stalking in HUD’s public
housing and Section 8 Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) programs, listed the
additional HUD programs that would
now be covered by the statute,
explained that VAWA protections
would be extended to victims of sexual
assault, and advised of HUD’s plans to
issue rules and/or guidance on the new
law at a later date. HUD also requested
public comment on certain topics that
VAWA 2013 left to HUD’s discretion.
Included in that request was how HUD
should adapt VAWA certification forms
(HUD–50066 and HUD–91066) to
document abuse covered by VAWA
2013 to include the newly covered
programs. The current certification form
HUD–50066 expires on February 28,

2014. HUD determined that the form
HUD–50066 should be updated to
include only the items required by
VAWA 2013. HUD intends to issue at a
later date a new form covering all HUD
covered programs that conforms to
VAWA 2013 and considers comments
received on the notice (comments
posted under docket number HUD–
2013–0074 on www.regulations.gov).
The new form would replace HUD–
50066.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Public Housing Authorities (PHAs),
Owners, and Management Agents,
participating in the Public Housing and
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
programs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Abstract: This information collection
covers permit applications and reports
that our Division of Management
Authority uses to determine the
eligibility of applicants for permits
requested in accordance with the
criteria in various Federal wildlife
conservation laws and international
treaties. Service regulations
implementing these statutes and treaties
are in chapter I, subchapter B of title 50,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
These regulations stipulate general and
specific requirements that when met
allow us to issue permits to authorize
activities that are otherwise prohibited.
We are not proposing any major
changes to the applications and reports
currently approved under OMB Control
Number 1018–0093. We are proposing a
new application: FWS Form 3–200–88
(Musical Instrument (CITES)). The
Musical Instrument application will be
for multiple border crossings for
noncommercial use (including, but not
limited to, personal use, performance,
display, or competition).
Comments Received and Our Responses
Comments: On December 17, 2013,
we published in the Federal Register
(78 FR 76313) a notice of our intent to
request that OMB approve this
information collection. In that notice,
we solicited comments for 60 days,
ending on February 18, 2014. We
received one comment in response to
that notice.
The commenter addressed the
processing of applications under section
10(c) of the Endangered Species Act and
the public comment period under that
section. We actively support the
elements of section 10(c) and the right
of the public to review the merits of
applications involving endangered
species. We are currently reviewing
mechanisms to ensure greater access to
this material and ease of the public to
supply substantial comments. These
comments did not address the
information collection requirements,
and we did not make any changes to our
requirement.
During the comment period for the
proposed rule titled ‘‘Updates Following
the Fifteenth Meeting of the Conference
of the Parties to CITES,’’ which we
published in the Federal Register on
March 8, 2012 (77 FR 14200), we

PO 00000

received one comment pertaining to a
form in this collection.
The commenter expressed
dissatisfaction with the process for
renewing a certificate of ownership for
personally owned, live wildlife. The
commenter objected to having to
complete an entire application when
only a few items needed to be updated,
and to having to submit his original
certificate along with the application for
renewal, thus preventing cross-border
travel while awaiting issuance of the
new certificate. In addition, the
commenter noted that having the
renewed certificate issued before the
end of the period of validity of his
existing certificate effectively shortens
the period of validity to less than 3
years. He also considered the estimated
time of 30 minutes for completion of
Form 3–200–64 to be ‘‘overly
conservative,’’ and stated that ‘‘a more
realistic, but still conservative estimate’’
would be at least 60 minutes.
FWS Form 3–200–64, the application
form for issuance of a certificate of
ownership for personally owned live
wildlife, asks for detailed information
regarding the animal to be covered
under the certificate. When a certificate
holder wishes to renew a certificate of
ownership, he or she should complete
and submit FWS Form 3–200–52, the
application for reissuance or renewal of
a permit. This is a simplified
application on which the applicant can
certify that there have been no changes
to the original application or that there
have been changes as noted on an
attached page. We ask that individuals
allow 30 to 60 days for processing of
applications, and we do require
submission of the original certificate
before we will issue a new one. If
applying well in advance (more than 60
days before expiration of the certificate),
an applicant could submit a copy and
continue to use the original certificate,
keeping in mind that he or she must
return to the United States before the
certificate expires. Once travel is
completed and the animal has reentered
the United States, the original certificate
must be returned to the Management
Authority. As stated above, we will not
issue a new certificate until we have
received the original certificate. In some
cases it may take longer than 30 minutes
to complete FWS Form 3–200–64;
however, we believe the average
completion time for completing FWS
Form 3–200–64 is 30 minutes.
Request for Public Comments
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
• Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including

• 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

Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
As part of its mission to document
coastal change, the USGS has been
taking aerial photographs of the coast
before and after each major storm for the
past 18 years to assess damages to the
natural landscape and the built
environment. A typical mission consists
of approximately 10,000 photographs.
The digital photo-archive maintained by
the USGS is a valuable environmental
record containing approximately
100,000 photographs taken before and
after 23 extreme storms along the Gulf
and Atlantic Coasts. At the same time,
the USGS has been developing
mathematical models that predict the
likely interactions between storm surge
and coastal features, such as beaches
and dunes, during extreme storms, with
the aim of predicting areas that are
vulnerable to storm damage. Currently
the photographs are not used to inform
the mathematical models. The models
are based primarily on pre-storm dune
height and predicted wave behavior.
If scientists could ‘‘ground truth’’
coastal damage by comparing before and
after photographs of the coast, the
predictive models might be improved. It
is not physically or economically
possible for USGS scientists to examine
all aerial photographs related to each
storm, however, and automation of this
process is also problematic. Image
analysis software is not yet
sophisticated enough to automatically
identify damages to the natural
landscape and the built environment
that are depicted in these photographs;
human perception and local knowledge
are required. ‘iCoast—Did the Coast
Change?’ (hereafter referred to as
‘iCoast’) is a USGS research project to
construct a web-based application that
will allow citizen volunteers to compare
these before and after photographs of
the coast and identify changes that
result from extreme storms through a
process known as ‘crowdsourcing’
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Crowdsourcing). In concept, this
application will be similar to those of
other citizen science image comparison
and classification projects such as the
Citizen Science Alliance’s Cyclone
Center project, (see
www.cyclonecenter.org), which asks

PO 00000

Frm 00072

Fmt 4703

11461

people to classify types of cyclones by
comparing satellite images.
There are two distinct purposes to
‘iCoast’:
• To allow USGS scientists to ‘ground
truth’ or validate their predictive storm
surge models. These mathematical
models, which are widely used in the
emergency management community for
locating areas of potential vulnerability
to incoming storms, are currently based
solely on pre-storm beach morphology
as determined by high-resolution
elevation data, and predicted wave
behavior derived from parameters of the
approaching storm. The on-the-ground
post-storm observations provided by
citizens using ‘iCoast’ will allow
scientists to determine the accuracy of
the models for future applications, and
• To serve as a repository of images
that enables citizens to become more
aware of their vulnerability to coastal
change and to participate in the
advancement of coastal science.
The application consists of sets of
before-and-after photographs from each
storm with accompanying educational
material about coastal hazards. Since
the photographs of a given area were
taken on different dates following
slightly different flight paths, the
geographic orientation of before and
after images may differ slightly. Often
there will be more than one image
covering approximately the same
geographic area and showing the same
coastal features. Participants are asked
to identify which post-storm image best
covers the same geographic area and
shows the same natural and man-made
features as the image taken after the
storm. After the best match between
before-and-after aerial photographs is
established, participants will classify
post-storm coastal damage using simple
one-or-two word descriptive tags. This
type of tagging is similar to that used in
commercial photo-sharing Web sites
such as Flickr (www.flickr.com). Each
participant will classify photographs of
their choice. They may classify as many
photographs as they wish in as many
sessions as they choose.
In order for a citizen to participate in
classifying the photographs, the
following information must be collected
by this application:
(1) Participants will login to the
‘iCoast’ application using externally
issued credentials via the Federally
approved ‘‘Open Identity Exchange’’
(www.openid.net) method. This Federal
Government program benefits users by
accelerating their sign up, reducing the
frustration of maintaining multiple
passwords, allowing them to control
their own identity, and minimizing
password security risks. User
