SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Public 

Housing Program—Transfer and 

Consolidation of Public Housing 

Programs. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0280. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

previously approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: State 

legislatures or other local governing 

bodies may from time to time direct or 

agree that the public interest is best 

served if one public housing agency 

(PHA) cedes its public housing program 

to another PHA, or that two or more 

PHAs should be combined into one 

multijurisdictional PHA. This proposed 

information collection serves to protect 

HUD’s several interests in either 

transaction: (1) Insuring the continued 

used of the property as public housing; 

(2) that HUD’s interests are secured; and 

(3) that the operating and capital 

subsidies that HUD pays to support the 

operation and maintenance of public 

housing is properly paid to the correct 

PHA on behalf of the correct properties. 

In addition to submitting 

documentation to HUD, PHAs are 

required to make conforming changes to 

HUD’s Public Housing Information 

Center (PIC).

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. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty 

Act (16 U.S.C. 703–712) designates the 

Department of the Interior as the 

primary agency responsible for 

managing migratory bird populations 

frequenting the United States and 

setting hunting regulations that allow 

for the well-being of migratory bird 

populations. These responsibilities 

dictate that we gather accurate data on 

various characteristics of migratory bird 

populations. 

The Service’s fall survey for eastern 

population sandhill crane was 

established in 1979. It is implemented 

by state and Federal agencies and public 

volunteers from eight states in the 

Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways, as 

well as Ontario, Canada. Sandhill cranes 

are widely dispersed during the 

breeding and wintering seasons and are 

difficult to count. The optimal time to 

survey cranes is during the last week of 

October when the majority of eastern 

population cranes breeding in Canada 

migrate to traditional staging grounds in 

the Great Lake States (e.g., JasperPulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, 

Medaryville, Indiana). Since the initial 

survey in 1979, crane numbers have 

increased to over 90,000 birds. 

The information collected through 

this survey is vital in assessing the 

relative changes in the geographic 

distribution of the species. We use the 

information primarily to inform 

managers of changes in sandhill crane 

distribution and population trends. 

Without information on the 

population’s status, we might 

promulgate hunting regulations that: 

• Are not sufficiently restrictive, 

which could cause harm to the sandhill 

crane population, or 

• Are too restrictive, which would 

unduly restrict recreational 

opportunities afforded by sandhill crane 

hunting. 

Notifications for the survey are sent to 

volunteers and data results are entered 

into the data portal in order to calculate 

an abundance of sandhill cranes. This 

survey is conducted via an online 

survey platform to reduce cost, improve 

data quality, and decrease respondent 

burden. This survey has no statistical 

design. We collect the following 

information in conjunction with the 

account setup process and survey data 

submission: 

• Account setup process: 

Æ Email address, 

Æ User name, 

Æ Photo (optional), 

Æ Option for other users to contact 

the registrant, 

Æ Time zone, 

Æ First and last name, 

Æ Phone number, and 

Æ Start date. 

• Survey data submission: 

Æ Data submission location via online 

map, 

Æ Date and time of observation, 

Æ Number of cranes, 

Æ Method (ground count or point 

count), 

Æ Habitat (agricultural field, sandbar, 

wetland, or mixed-wetland 

agricultural field), and 

Æ Any additional notes the user 

would like to submit. 

We received OMB approval to 

conduct usability testing of the data 

entry portal in 2019 under Interior’s 

Fast Track clearance process ‘‘DOI 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery’’ (OMB Control No. 1090– 

0011). After conducting the usability 

testing of the data entry portal for one 

year, we are now ready to seek OMB’s 

full approval of this information 

collection under the PRA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Coastal Barrier Resources 

Reauthorization Act of 2006 (CBRRA; 

section 4 of Pub. L. 109–226) requires 

the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) 

to prepare digital versions of the John H. 

Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System 

(CBRS) maps and make 

recommendations for the expansion of 

the CBRS. We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), have 

prepared draft revised boundaries for 

two existing CBRS units in Okaloosa 

and Walton Counties, Florida, and for 

four existing units and two proposed 

new units in Beaufort and Charleston 

Counties, South Carolina. This notice 

announces the availability of the 

proposed boundaries for public review 

and comment. 

Background on the Coastal Barrier 

Resources System 

Coastal barrier ecosystems are 

inherently dynamic systems located at 

the interface of land and sea. Coastal 

barriers and their associated aquatic 

habitat (wetlands and open water) 

provide important habitat for fish and 

wildlife, and serve as the mainland’s 

first line of defense against the impacts 

of severe storms. With the passage of the 

Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) in 

1982 (16 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Congress 

recognized that certain actions and 

programs of the Federal Government 

have historically subsidized and 

encouraged development on stormprone and highly dynamic coastal 

barriers, and the result has been the loss 

of natural resources; threats to human 

life, health, and property; and the 

expenditure of billions of tax dollars. 

CBRA established the CBRS, which 

originally comprised 186 geographic 

units encompassing approximately 

453,000 acres of relatively undeveloped 

lands and associated aquatic habitat 

along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico 

coasts. The CBRS was expanded by the 

Coastal Barrier Improvement Act of 

1990 (CBIA; Pub. L. 101–591) to include 

additional areas along the Atlantic and 

Gulf of Mexico coasts, as well as areas 

along the coasts of the Great Lakes, the 

U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. 

The CBRS now comprises a total of 

870 geographic units, encompassing 

approximately 3.5 million acres of land 

and associated aquatic habitat. These 

areas are depicted on a series of maps 

and known as the John H. Chafee 

Coastal Barrier Resources System. Most 

new Federal expenditures and financial 

assistance that would have the effect of 

encouraging development are prohibited 

within the CBRS. Development can still 

occur within the CBRS, provided that
