Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 31, 2023 / Notices 74505 

Block Grant-Disaster Recovery grants 

(CDBG–DR). This research is expected 

to help the Federal government, states, 

and communities throughout the United 

States improve disaster recovery 

effectiveness for renter households by 

providing information about how 

disaster recovery programs funded 

through CDBG–DR have different 

impacts on renters and homeowners, 

and how disasters impact affordable 

rental housing stock over time. This 

research will be used to assess renter 

outcomes, barriers to accessing recovery 

resources, and mechanisms of Federal 

and local implementation of CDBG–DR 

grants. Results from this study will 

support HUD in identifying 

opportunities for changes to legislation, 

policy and program implementation in 

disaster recovery to improve outcomes 

for renters. 

This Federal Register Notice provides 

an opportunity to comment on the 

information collection for this study 

titled HUD CDBG Disaster Recovery 

Outcomes of Renter Households. The 

information collection is designed to 

support the study of disaster outcomes 

on renters, including to better 

understand CDBG–DR allocations across 

housing tenure, specifically for renters, 

identify successful processes with 

corresponding outcomes for rental 

housing recovery aid programs and 

translate this research into actionable 

programmatic recommendations with 

appropriate timelines, policy making 

and implementation changes to improve 

these outcomes. The study includes a 

survey, interviews and focus groups in 

communities that have received CDBG– 

DR funding. 

Respondents: CDBG–DR grantee 

representatives and administrators; 

elected and appointed government 

officials in CDBG–DR grantee 

jurisdictions and municipalities; 

landlords and developers in CDBG–DR 

grantee jurisdictions; representatives 

from housing and tenant advocacy 

organizations; and renters living in 

CDBG–DR grantee jurisdictions.

Description of the need for the

a time of reduced income. The currently

insurance fund and the interests of 

consumers and potential borrowers. 

This collection was revised to align with 

current program requirements and 

recent amendments to the regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

The BLM’s purpose for the action is 

to respond to NGM’s proposal, as 

described in its proposed plan of 

operations, and to analyze the potential 

environmental effects associated with 

the Proposed Action, which is the 

operator’s proposed plan of operations, 

and alternatives to the Proposed Action. 

NEPA mandates that the BLM evaluate 

the potential effects of the Proposed 

Action and develop alternatives. The 

BLM’s need for the action is established 

by the BLM’s responsibilities under 

Section 302 of FLPMA and the BLM 

Surface Management Regulations at 43 

CFR subpart 3809 to respond to a 

proposed plan of operations and ensure 

that operations prevent unnecessary or 

undue degradation of the public lands. 

Proposed Action and Alternatives 

Under the proposed plan of 

operations, NGM would construct and 

operate an underground mine project in 

the Cortez Mining Area of Lander and 

Eureka Counties, Nevada. The proposed 

Goldrush Mine Plan boundary 

encompasses 19,853 acres, of which 772 

acres are private land controlled by 

NGM and 19,081 acres are public lands 

administered by the BLM Battle 

Mountain District, Mount Lewis Field 

Office (MLFO) and BLM Elko District, 

Tuscarora Field Office (TFO). Most of 

this area is within existing exploration 

and mine plans previously authorized 

by the BLM and includes facilities and 

surface disturbance associated with the
