Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989, this document

notifies the public of funding awards for

the Fiscal Year 1997 Community

Development Work Study Program

(CDWSP). The purpose of this document

is to announce the names and addresses

of the award winners and the amount of

the awards to be used to attract

economically disadvantaged and

minority students to careers in

community and economic development,

community planning and community

management, and to provide a cadre of

well-qualified professionals to plan,

implement, and administer local

community development programs.

SOURCES OF FURTHER INFORMATION:

Prospective students interested in

participating in the CDWSP should

contact directly the grantees listed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

CDWSP is administered by the Office of

University Partnerships under the

Assistant Secretary for Policy

Development and Research. The Office

of University Partnerships administers

HUD’s ongoing grant programs to

institutions of higher education and

creates initiatives through which

colleges and universities can bring their

traditional missions of teaching,

research, service, and outreach to bear

on the pressing local problems in their

communities.

The CDWSP was enacted in the

Housing and Community Development

Act of 1988. (Earlier versions of the

program were funded by the

Community Development Block Grant

Technical Assistance Program from

1982 through 1987 and the

Comprehensive Planning Assistance

Program from 1969 through 1981.)

Eligible applicants include institutions

of higher education having qualifying

academic degrees, and States and

areawide planning organizations who

apply on behalf of such institutions. The

CDWSP funds graduate programs only.

Each participating institution of higher

education is funded for a minimum of

three students and a maximum of five

students under the CDWSP. The

CDWSP provides each participating

student up to $9,000 per year for a work

stipend (for internship-type work in

community building) and $5,000 per

year for tuition and additional support

(for books and travel related to the

academic program). Additionally, the

CDWSP provides the participating

institution of higher education with an

administrative allowance of $1,000 per

student per year.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance number for this program is

14.512.

On March 4, 1997 (62 FR 9897) HUD

published a Notice of Funding

Availability (NOFA) announcing the

availability of $3 million in FY 1997

funds for the CDWSP. The Department

reviewed, evaluated and scored the

applications received based on the

criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD

has funded the applications announced

below, and in accordance with Section

102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development

Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987,

U.S.C. 3545), the Department is

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife

and Plants; Revision of Recovery Plan

for the Florida Panther

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to revise

recovery plan.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) announces its intent to

revise the recovery plan for the

endangered Florida panther, Puma

(Felis) concolor coryi. The Service

established a Recovery Team comprised

of key individuals and scientists

involved in the Florida panther recovery

program to guide the revision process.

Additional opportunities for public

review and comment will be available

when the revised plan is in draft form.

DATES: Comments from all interested

parties must be received by March 2,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments and materials

concerning the recovery plan revision

should be sent to Dennis B. Jordan,

Recovery Team Leader, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 110450,

Gainesville, Florida 32611–0450. Copies

of the current recovery plan are

available at the same address.

Comments and materials received will

be available for public inspection, by

appointment, during normal business

hours at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Dennis B. Jordan at the above address,

(telephone 352/846–0546; facsimile

352/846–0841.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Restoring endangered or threatened

animals or plants to the point where

they are again secure, self-sustaining

members of their ecosystems is a

primary goal of the Service’s

endangered species program. To help

guide the recovery effort, the Service is

working to prepare recovery plans for

most of the listed species native to the

United States. Recovery plans describe

actions considered necessary for

conservation of the species, establish

criteria for recognizing the recovery

levels for downlisting or delisting them,

and estimate time and costs for

implementing the recovery measures

needed.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973,

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)

(Act), requires the development of

recovery plans for listed species unless

such a plan would not promote the

conservation of a particular species.

Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in

1988, requires that a public notice and

an opportunity for public review and

comment be provided during recovery

plan development. The Service will

consider all information presented

during a public comment period prior to

approval of each new or revised

recovery plan. The Service and other

Federal agencies will also take these

comments into account in the course of

implementing approved recovery plans.
