requirements. With this single FY 2014–
FY 2015 NOFA and corresponding FY
2014 HUD General Section, HUD may
conduct a competition for housing
counseling training grant funding for
both FY 2014 and FY 2015. HUD would
use the applications received under this
FY 2014 and FY 2015 NOFA, and the
corresponding scores and funding
methodology relevant to this NOFA, to
make awards for FY2014, utilizing FY
2014 appropriations. HUD would use
the same list and methodology to award
FY 2015 funds, subject to the
availability of appropriations and any
other authority that may govern the
award of FY 2015 funds. Grantees that
receive FY 2014 housing counseling
training funding will be contacted by
HUD to determine their interest in FY
2015 funding. HUD would then rerun
the FY 2014 funding formula, utilizing
FY 2014 application data/scores, should
FY 2015 funding becomes available, for
those FY 2014 grantees that express
interest and remain eligible. Doing this
will enable HUD to make awards
quickly after FY 2015 appropriations
become available, and significantly
reduce the application burden for
counseling agencies. The General
Section for FY 2014 will govern both the
FY 2014 and FY 2015 comprehensive
housing counseling grant funds.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding specific program
requirements should be directed to

with hearing or speech impairments
may access these numbers via TTY by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today’s
Federal Register notice announces that
HUD has posted its FY 2014 Housing
Counseling Training Grant Program
NOFA on http://www.Grants.gov and
http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/
HUD?src=/program_offices/
administration/grants/fundsavail.
Approximately $2 million is expected
to be available for eligible applicants
under this NOFA for FY 2014 through
the Transportation, Housing and Urban
Development, and Related Agencies

Appropriations Act, 2014. Alternatively,
HUD reserves the right to issue a
supplemental or independent NOFA in
FY 2015, perhaps limited to new
Applicants, or for a specific housing
counseling training related activity, for
example to support HUD’s efforts to
embed housing counseling in FHA
programs. The application deadline date
is May 5, 2014. Applications must be
received by Grants.gov no later than
11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the
application deadline date. See Section
IV of the General Section, regarding
application procedures, timely filing
requirements, and grace period policy.
HUD may issue a technical correction to
this NOFA if necessary. Any such
technical correction will provide
detailed instructions for Applicants
regarding the resubmission of
applications to address the revised
NOFA requirements.
Dated: April 17, 2014.

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (16 U.S.C. 703–711) and the Fish
and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C.
742d) designate the Department of the
Interior as the key agency responsible
for (1) the wise management of
migratory bird populations frequenting
the United States, and (2) setting
hunting regulations that allow
appropriate harvests that are within the
guidelines that will allow for those
populations’ well-being. These
responsibilities dictate that we gather
accurate data on various characteristics
of migratory bird harvest. Based on
information from harvest surveys, we
can adjust hunting regulations as
needed to optimize harvests at levels
that provide a maximum of hunting
recreation while keeping populations at
desired levels.
Under 50 CFR 20.20, migratory bird
hunters must register for the Migratory
Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP)
in each State in which they hunt each
year. State natural resource agencies
must send names and addresses of all
migratory bird hunters to us annually.
The Migratory Bird Hunter Survey is
based on the Migratory Bird Harvest
Information Program. We randomly
select migratory bird hunters and ask
them to report their harvest. The
resulting estimates of harvest per hunter
are combined with the complete list of
migratory bird hunters to provide
estimates of the total harvest for the
species surveyed.
The Parts Collection Survey estimates
the species, sex, and age composition of
the harvest, and the geographic and
temporal distribution of the harvest.
Randomly selected successful hunters
who responded to the Migratory Bird
Hunter Survey the previous year are
asked to complete and return a form if
they are willing to participate in the
Parts Collection Survey. We provide
postage-paid envelopes to respondents
before the hunting season and ask them
to send in a wing or the tail feathers
from each duck or goose that they
harvest, or a wing from each mourning
dove, woodcock, band-tailed pigeon,
snipe, rail, or gallinule that they harvest.

VerDate Mar<15>2010

We use the wings and tail feathers to
identify the species, sex, and age of the
harvested sample. We also ask
respondents to report on the envelope
the date and location of harvest for each
bird. We combine the results of this
survey with the harvest estimates
obtained from the Migratory Bird
Hunter Survey to provide speciesspecific national harvest estimates.
The combined results of these surveys
enable us to evaluate the effects of
season length, season dates, and bag
limits on the harvest of each species,
and thus help us determine appropriate
hunting regulations.
The Sandhill Crane Harvest Survey is
an annual questionnaire survey of
people who obtained a sandhill crane
hunting permit. At the end of the
hunting season, we randomly select a
sample of permit holders and ask them
to report the date, location, and number
of birds harvested for each of their
sandhill crane hunts. Their responses
provide estimates of the temporal and
geographic distribution of the harvest as
well as the average harvest per hunter,
which, combined with the total number
of permits issued, enables us to estimate
the total harvest of sandhill cranes.
Based on information from this survey,
we adjust hunting regulations as
needed.
Comment Received and Our Response
