A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: HOME
Investment Partnerships Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0171.
Type of Request: Extension of
approved collection.
Form Number: HUD 40093, SF 1199A,
HUD 20755, HUD 40107, HUD 40107A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
information collected through HUD’s
Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR
92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices,
HUD Headquarters, and HOME Program
Participating Jurisdictions (PJs). The
information on program funds
committed and disbursed is used by
HUD to track PJ performance and to
determine compliance with the
statutory 24-month commitment
deadline and the regulatory 5-year
expenditure deadline (§ 92.500(d)). The
project-specific property, tenant, owner,
and financial data is used to compile
annual reports to Congress required at
Section 284(b) of the HOME Investment
Partnerships Act, as well as to make
program management decisions about
how well program participants are
achieving the statutory objectives of the
HOME Program. Program management
reports are generated by IDIS to provide
data on the status of program
participants’ commitment and
disbursement of HOME funds. These
reports are provided to HUD staff as
well as to HOME PJs.

Management reports required in
conjunction with the Annual
Performance Report (§ 92.509) are used
by HUD Field Offices to assess the
effectiveness of locally designed
programs in meeting specific statutory
requirements and by Headquarters in
preparing the Annual Report to
Congress. Specifically, these reports
permit HUD to determine compliance
with the requirement that PJs provide a
25 percent match for HOME funds
expended during the Federal fiscal year
(Section 220 of the Act) and that
program income be used for HOME
eligible activities (Section 219 of the
Act), as well as the Women and
Minority Business Enterprise
requirements (§ 92.351(b)).
Financial, project, tenant and owner
documentation is used to determine
compliance with HOME Program cost
limits (Section 212(e) of the Act),
eligible activities (§ 92.205), and eligible
costs (§ 92.206), as well as to determine
whether program participants are
achieving the income targeting and
affordability requirements of the Act
(Sections 214 and 215). Other
information collected under subpart H
(Other Federal Requirements) is
primarily intended for local program
management and is only viewed by
HUD during routine monitoring visits.
The written agreement with the owner
for long-term obligation (§ 92.504) and
tenant protections (§ 92.253) are
required to ensure that the property
owner complies with these important
elements of the HOME Program and are
also reviewed by HUD during
monitoring visits. HUD reviews all other
data collection requirements during
monitoring to assure compliance with
the requirements of the Act and other
related laws and authorities.
HUD tracks PJ performance and
compliance with the requirements of 24
CFR parts 91 and 92. PJs use the
required information in the execution of
their program, and to gauge their own
performance in relation to stated goals.

prepared a draft environmental action
statement (EAS) for our preliminary
determination that the SHA and permit
decision may be eligible for categorical
exclusion under the National

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Susan
Sorrells, hereafter referred to as the
applicant, has applied to the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service for permit
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The permit application includes a draft
safe harbor agreement (SHA), which
covers 467 acres owned by the applicant
in Inyo County, California. The
proposed term of the permit and the
SHA is 30 years. The permit would
authorize incidental take of the
endangered Amargosa vole (Microtus
californicus scirpensis) in exchange for
habitat conservation actions that are
expected to provide a net conservation
benefit for the species. We have
prepared a draft environmental action
statement (EAS) for our preliminary
determination that the SHA and permit
decision may be eligible for categorical
exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 43
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). We invite the
public to review and comment on the

PO 00000

Frm 00066

Fmt 4703

permit application, draft SHA, and the
draft EAS.
Background Information
SHAs are intended to encourage
private or other non-Federal property
owners to implement beneficial
conservation actions for species listed
under the ESA. SHA permit holders are
assured that they will not be subject to
increased property use restrictions as a
result of their proactive actions to
benefit listed species. Incidental take of
listed species is authorized under a
permit pursuant to the provisions of
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA. For an
applicant to receive a permit through an
SHA, the applicant must submit an
application form that includes the
following:
(1) The common and scientific names
of the listed species for which the
applicant requests incidental take
authorization;
(2) A description of how incidental
take of the listed species pursuant to the
SHA is likely to occur, both as a result
of management activities and as a result
of the return to baseline; and
(3) A description of how the SHA
complies with the requirements of the
Service’s Safe Harbor policy.
For the Service to issue a permit, we
must determine that:
(1) The take of listed species will be
incidental to an otherwise lawful
activity and will be in accordance with
the terms of the SHA;
(2) The implementation of the terms
of the SHA is reasonably expected to
provide a net conservation benefit to the
covered species by contributing to its
recovery, and the SHA otherwise
complies with the Service’s Safe Harbor
Policy (64 FR 32717, June 17, 1999);
