Mortgage Loan Sale Policy 

HUD reserves the right to add 

Mortgage Loans to or delete Mortgage 

Loans from MHLS 2018–2 at any time 

prior to the Award Date. HUD also 

reserves the right to reject any and all 

bids, in whole or in part, without 

prejudice to HUD’s right to include the 

Mortgage Loans in a later sale. The 

Mortgage Loans will not be withdrawn 

after the award date except as is 

specifically provided for in the Loan

mortgage loans, pursuant to Section

Affairs and Housing and Urban 

Development, and Independent 

Agencies Appropriations Act of 1997, 

(12 U.S.C. 1715z–11a(a)). 

Mortgage Loan Sale Procedure 

HUD selected a competitive sale as 

the method to sell the Mortgage Loans. 

This method of sale optimizes HUD’s 

return on the sale of these Mortgage 

Loans, affords the greatest opportunity 

for all qualified bidders to bid on the 

Mortgage Loans, and provides the most 

efficient vehicle for HUD to dispose of 

the Mortgage Loans.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Green 

Diamond Resource Company of Korbel, 

California (applicant), has applied to the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) 

for the issuance of an incidental take 

permit under section 10 (a)(1)(B) of the 

Endangered Species Act, as amended 

(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The 

applicant is applying for a new 

incidental take permit to replace an 

existing 30-year permit that is due to 

expire in 2022. The applicant is 

requesting a permit for incidental take 

of four animal species during the 

proposed 50-year permit. The permit is 

needed to authorize incidental take of 

listed animal species resulting from 

covered activities. Additionally, the 

Applicant has applied for the issuance 

of a Migratory Bird Scientific Collecting 

Permit (50 Code of Federal Regulations 

[CFR] 21.23) under the Migratory Bird 

Treaty Act in support of research to 

determine whether removal of barred 

owls (Strix varia) can be scaled up to the 

Plan Area level for the benefit of 

northern spotted owls. The applicant’s 

proposed habitat conservation plan 

(HCP) area encompasses 357,412 acres 

of commercial timberland in Humboldt 

and Del Norte counties, California. 

Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), we 

advise the public of the availability of 

the proposed HCP and our draft 

environmental impact statement (DEIS). 

Background 

Section 9 of the ESA and Federal 

regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish 

and wildlife species federally listed as 

endangered or threatened. Take of 

federally listed fish or wildlife is 

defined under the ESA as to harass, 

harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, 

trap, capture, or collect listed species, or 

attempt to engage in such conduct (16 

U.S.C. 1538). ‘‘Harm’’ includes 

significant habitat modification or 

degradation that actually kills or injures 

listed wildlife by significantly impairing 

essential behavioral patterns, including 

breeding, feeding, and sheltering (50 

CFR 17.3). Under limited circumstances, 

we may issue permits to authorize 

incidental take that is not the purpose 

of, otherwise lawful activities. 

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act 

protects over 1000 species of birds, 

including the barred owl. The Migratory 

Bird Treaty Act provides that it is 

unlawful to pursue, hunt, take, capture, 

kill, possess, sell, purchase, barter, 

import, export, or transport any 

migratory bird, or any part, nest, or egg 

of any such bird, unless authorized 

under a permit issued by the Secretary 

of the Interior. As authorized by the 

Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Service 

may issue permits for scientific 

collecting (50 CFR 21.23). Migratory 

bird permits are issued by the Regional 

Migratory Bird Permit Offices. The 

permit for this experiment would be 

issued by the USFWS Pacific Southwest 

Region in Sacramento, California. 

The proposed incidental take permit 

would cover one bird species, the 

northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis 

caurina), which is federally listed as 

threatened. Three mammal species are 

also proposed to be covered; these 

species have no Federal listing status, 

and are the fisher (Pekania pennanti), 

red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus), 

and Sonoma vole (Arborimus pomo). 

To determine whether removal of 

barred owls can be scaled up to the Plan 

Area level for the benefit of northern 

spotted owls, a Migratory Bird Scientific 

Collecting Permit for barred owl is 

proposed. 

The HCP area encompasses 357,412 

acres. The HCP and permit contain 

conservation measures considered 

necessary to minimize and mitigate the 

impacts, to the maximum extent 

practicable, of the potential taking of 

federally listed species to be covered by 

the HCP and the habitats upon which 

they depend. The covered activities 

under the HCP are those associated with 

commercial forest management within 

the plan area. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

Compliance 

The DEIS analyzes four land 

management alternatives. These include 

a ‘‘no action’’ alternative, which allows 

the existing 30-year incidental take 

permit to expire at the end of its term 

in 2022 with no permit replacement. 

The proposed action consists of a fourspecies HCP and associated permit with 

a 50-year term. Two other ‘‘action’’ 

alternatives are included. Alternatives A 

and B evaluate a single-species HCP and 

50-year permit for the northern spotted 

owl only. Alternative B is unique from 

Alternative A, as it proposes a shift in 

company policy from even-aged forest 

management toward uneven-aged forest 

management. 

Public Review 

Any comments we receive will 

become part of the decision record 

associated with this action. 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 request in your comment 

that we withhold your personal 

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so. All submissions 

from organizations or businesses, and 

from individuals identifying themselves 

as representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public disclosure in 

their entirety.

Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible 

To Receive Services from the United 

States Bureau of Indian Affairs 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice publishes the 

current list of 573 Tribal entities 

recognized and eligible for funding and 

services from the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs (BIA) by virtue of their status as 

Indian Tribes. The list is updated from 

the notice published on January 30, 

2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Laurel Iron Cloud, Bureau of Indian 

Affairs, Division of Tribal Government 

Services, Mail Stop 3645–MIB, 1849 C 

Street NW, Washington, DC 20240. 

Telephone number: (202) 513–7641. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is published pursuant to Section 

104 of the Act of November 2, 1994 

(Pub. L. 103–454; 108 Stat. 4791, 4792), 

and in exercise of authority delegated to 

the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs 

under 25 U.S.C. 2 and 9 and 209 DM 8. 

Published below is an updated list of 

federally acknowledged Indian Tribes in 

the contiguous 48 states and Alaska. 

Amendments to the list include 

formatting edits, name changes and 

name corrections. The addition of six 

tribes to the list of Indian entities results 

from the January 29, 2018 enactment of 

the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes 

of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 

2017. The legislation recognized the 

Chickahominy Indian Tribe, the 

Chickahominy Indian Tribe—Eastern 

Division, the Monacan Indian Nation, 

the Nansemond Indian Tribe, the 

Rappahannock Tribe, Inc., and the 

Upper Mattaponi Tribe. 

To aid in identifying tribal name 

changes and corrections, the Tribe’s 

previously listed or former name is 

included in parentheses after the correct 

current Tribal name. We will continue 

to list the Tribe’s former or previously 

listed name for several years before 

dropping the former or previously listed 

name from the list. 

The listed Indian entities are 

acknowledged to have the immunities 

and privileges available to federally 

recognized Indian Tribes by virtue of 

their government-to-government 

relationship with the United States as 

well as the responsibilities, powers, 

limitations, and obligations of such 

Tribes. We have continued the practice 

of listing the Alaska Native entities 

separately for the purpose of facilitating 

identification of them.
