statutory and regulatory requirements 

on an on-going basis. Grantees must also

its consolidated plan, and such records 

as may be necessary to facilitate review 

and audit by HUD of the grantee’s 

administration of CDBG funds [Section 

104(4)]. The statute also requires 

[Section 104(e)(2)] that HUD conduct an 

annual review to determine whether 

states have distributed funds to units of 

general local government in a timely 

manner. HUD has re-designed a form by 

which grantees can report their 

compliance with this requirement. 

DATES: January 3, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OCTA is 

preparing a habitat conservation plan 

(HCP) and an application for a permit 

related to freeway improvements in 

Orange County, California. OCTA is 

proposing to cover 22 species in the 

HCP. The purpose of the HCP is to 

provide protection to natural 

communities and sensitive species 

within the jurisdictional boundaries of 

Orange County, and to mitigation for the 

impacts on threatened and endangered 

and other sensitive species for 13 

planned freeway improvement projects 

over 30 years. 

Background 

Section 9 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.) and Federal regulations prohibit 

the ‘‘take’’ of a fish or wildlife species 

listed as endangered or threatened. 

Under the ESA, the following activities 

are defined as take: To harass, harm, 

pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, 

capture, or collect listed wildlife 

species, or attempt to engage in such 

conduct (16 U.S.C. 1532). However, 

under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA, 

permits may be issued to authorize 

‘‘incidental take’’ of listed wildlife 

species. Incidental take is defined by the 

ESA as take that is incidental to, and not 

the purpose of, carrying out an 

otherwise lawful activity. Regulations 

governing permits for endangered and 

threatened species are at 50 CFR 17.22 

and 50 CFR 17.32, respectively. 

Section 10 of the ESA specifies the 

requirements for the issuance of
