Like the previous surveys, the 2021
AHS will collect ‘‘core’’ data on
subjects, such as the amount and types
of changes in the housing inventory, the
physical condition of the housing
inventory, the characteristics of the
occupants, housing costs for owners and
renters, including a redesigned mortgage
section, the persons eligible for and
beneficiaries of assisted housing,
remodeling and repair frequency,
reasons for moving, the number and
characteristics of vacancies, and
characteristics of resident’s
neighborhood. In addition to the ‘‘core’’
data, HUD plans to collect supplemental
data on potential health and safety
hazards in the home, the renter housing
search process, housing characteristics
that increase wildfire risk, household
pets, and delinquent payments and
notices for mortgage, rent, or utility
bills.
The AHS national longitudinal
sample consists of approximately 90,600
housing units, and includes oversample
from the largest 15 metropolitan areas,
approximately 5,200 HUD-assisted
housing units, and approximately 3,000
units subsidized in the Low-Income
Housing Tax Credit program. In
addition to the national longitudinal
sample, HUD plans to conduct 10
additional metropolitan area
longitudinal samples, each with
approximately 3,000 housing units (for
a total 30,000 metropolitan area housing
units). The 10 additional metropolitan
area longitudinal samples were last
surveyed in 2017.
To help reduce respondent burden on
households in the longitudinal sample,
the 2021 AHS will make use of
dependent interviewing techniques,
which will decrease the number of
questions asked. Policy analysts,
program managers, budget analysts, and
Congressional staff use AHS data to
advise executive and legislative
branches about housing conditions and
the suitability of public policy
initiatives. Academic researchers and
private organizations also use AHS data
in efforts of specific interest and
concern to their respective
communities.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) needs the
AHS data for the following two reasons:
1. With the data, policy analysts can
monitor the interaction among housing
needs, demand and supply, as well as
changes in housing conditions and
costs, to aid in the development of
housing policies and the design of
housing programs appropriate for
different target groups, such as first-time
home buyers and the elderly.

SUMMARY:

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
provide the general public and other

and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information

collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On February 4, 2020, we published in
the Federal Register (85 FR 6212) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
approve this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on April 6, 2020. We
received the following comments in
response to that notice:
Comment 1—Comment received via
email on February 26, 2020, from Jean
Public: The commenter did not address
the information collection requirements.
Agency Response to Comment 1: No
response required.
Comment 2—Comment received via
email on April 6, 2020, from Michael
Robinson of the Center for Biological
Diversity: This comment suggested two
additional categories of information
collection under this renewal related to
depredation-related take. Specifically,
Mr. Robinson suggested collecting
information on preventative measures
taken by landowners to protect livestock
prior to implementing lethal take, and to
measure the amount of time between a
depredation-related take of an
individual of an experimental
population and renewed depredation of
the same landowner’s livestock.
Agency Response to Comment 2: Mr.
Robinson’s suggestions for information
collection include data that are already
collected and tracked by Service
employees as specified in 50 CFR part
17 subpart H, as well as in each speciesspecific final rule issued by the Service
establishing the experimental
population. Additionally, the Service
acknowledges the usefulness of this
type of information and will take into
consideration this information in future
rulemaking actions.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: Section 10(j) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to establish experimental populations of
endangered or threatened species.
Because the ESA protects individuals of
experimental populations, the
information we collect is important for
monitoring the success of reintroduction
and recovery efforts. This is a nonform
collection (meaning there is no
designated form associated with this
collection). Regulations at 50 CFR 17.84
contain information collection
requirements for experimental
populations of vertebrate endangered
and threatened species. These
regulations identify and describe the
three categories of information we
collect, which include:
(1) General take or removal. ‘‘Take’’ is
defined by the ESA as ‘‘[to] harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct.’’ In this
information collection, take most
commonly is considered to be in the
form of human-related mortality,
including:
a. Unintentional taking incidental to
otherwise lawful activities (e.g.,
highway mortalities);
b. Animal husbandry actions
authorized to manage the population
(e.g., translocation or providing aid to
sick, injured, or orphaned individuals);

PO 00000

Frm 00040

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

47983

c. Take in defense of human life;
d. Take related to defense of property
(if authorized); or
e. Take in the form of authorized
harassment.
(2) Depredation-related take. Involves
take for management purposes of
documented livestock depredation, and
may include authorized harassment or
authorized lethal take of experimental
population animals in the act of
attacking livestock. See 50 CFR 17.84 for
specific provisions of harassment for
each species within this section.
The information that we collect
includes:
a. Name, address, and phone number
of reporting party,
b. Species involved,
c. Type of incident,
d. Quantity of take,
e. Location and time of the reported
incident, and
f. Description of the circumstances
related to the incident.
(3) Specimen collection, recovery, or
reporting of dead individuals. This
information documents incidental or
authorized scientific collection. Most of
the information collected addresses the
reporting of sightings of experimental
population animals or the inadvertent
discovery of an injured or dead
individual.
Service recovery specialists use this
information to determine the success of
reintroductions in relation to
established recovery plan goals for the
experimental populations of vertebrate
endangered and threatened species
involved. In addition, this information
helps us to assess the effectiveness of
control activities in order to develop
better means to reduce problems with
livestock for those species where
depredation is a problem.
Title of Collection: Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife, Experimental
Populations, 50 CFR 17.84.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0095.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed Federal action, taken under 25
U.S.C. 415, is BIA approval of a lease to
accommodate the expansion of the solar
field previously approved for the MSEC
Project and the modification of the
existing solar energy ground lease and
related agreements entered into by the
Moapa Band with the Applicant. The

agreements provide for construction,
operation and maintenance (O&M), and
decommissioning of a 200-megawatt
(MW) alternating current solar
photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation
facility located entirely on the
Reservation and specifically on lands
held in trust for the Moapa Band.
The MSEC Project was originally
developed by Moapa Solar LLC and
included an 850-acre solar site on the
Reservation and associated rights-ofway (ROWs) on BLM-managed lands for
an access road, gen-tie line, and water
pipeline. Records of Decision (RODs)
were issued by the BIA and BLM in May
2014 and BIA approved the lease one
month later. The ROW was issued by
BLM in August 2015 for the linear
facilities. In March 2017, EDF
Renewables Development, Inc. (EDFR)
purchased the MSEC Project from the
original owner and renamed the Project
the Arrow Canyon Solar Project. EDFR
subsequently transferred the Project to
Arrow Canyon Solar, LLC. Currently,
the approved MSEC Project and
associated facilities have not yet been
constructed.
The Applicant currently plans to
expand the solar field on the
Reservation from 850 acres to 2,200
acres. This expansion would occur on
Tribal lands identified by the Moapa
Band that are adjacent to the originally
approved MSEC site. The linear
facilities, (i.e. main access road, 230kV
gen-tie line, and water pipeline) as
previously approved by the BLM would
remain a part of the Project description;
therefore, these facilities are not
reevaluated. The SEIS focuses on the
expansion of the solar field only.
Construction of the Project is
expected to take approximately 18 to 20
