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, 2017, is 21⁄8
percent.
The subject matter of this Notice falls
within the categorical exemption from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we continue the
Comprehensive Conservation Planning
(CCP) process for the Little Sandy NWR.
We started this process through a notice
in the Federal Register (72 FR 46095;
August 16, 2007).
The primary purpose of Little Sandy
NWR is to protect a remnant of the
bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem
along the Sabine River in East Texas.
The Little Sandy NWR was established

in December 1986 as a permanent nondevelopment easement with the Little
Sandy Hunting and Fishing Club
(LSHFC). It is managed as a unit of the
National Wildlife Refuge System
(NWRS) out of the Little River NWR
Complex headquarters in Broken Bow
Oklahoma.
Background
The CCP Process
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Administration Act of
1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee) (Refuge
Administration Act), as amended by the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997, requires us to
develop a CCP for each national wildlife
refuge. The purpose for developing a
CCP is to provide refuge managers with
a 15 year plan for achieving refuge
purposes and contributing toward the
mission of the NWRS, consistent with
sound principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and FWS policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for wildlife observation
and photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
Refuge Administration Act.
Public Outreach
Formal scoping began when we
published a notice of intent to prepare
a CCP and EA in the Federal Register
on August 16, 2007, and formally
invited the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department (TPWD) to participate in the
development of the document. TPWD
has provided constant input and the
Service has continued to involve them
throughout the planning process.
Information sheets were sent to the
public, and news releases were sent to
a variety of media outlets. A public
open house meeting was held on
September 9, 2009, at Jarvis Christian
College in Hawkins, Texas. Additional
written comments were received prior
to the open house. A variety of
stakeholders contributed feedback at the
open house meeting and via written
