SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in

days was published on February 28,

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Single 

Family Mortgage Insurance for 

Hawaiian Homelands. 

OMB Approved Number: 2502–0358. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: FHA 

insures mortgages on single-family 

dwellings under provisions of the 

National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1709). 

The Housing and Urban Rural Recovery 

Act (HURRA), Public Law 98–181, 

amended the National Housing Act to 

add Section 247 (12 U.S.C. 1715z–12) to 

permit FHA to insure mortgages for 

properties located on Hawaiian 

Homelands. Under this program, the 

mortgagor must be a native Hawaiian. In 

accordance with 24 CFR 203.43i, the 

collection of information is verification 

that a loan applicant is a native 

Hawaiian and that the applicant holds 

a lease on land in a Hawaiian 

Homelands area. A borrower must 

obtain verification of eligibility from 

Department of Hawaiian Homelands 

(DHHL) and submit it to the lender. A 

borrower cannot obtain a loan under 

these provisions without proof of status 

as a native Hawaiian. United States 

citizens living in Hawaii are not eligible 

for this leasehold program unless they 

are native Hawaiians. The eligibility 

document is required to obtain benefits. 

In accordance with 24 CFR 

203.439(c), lenders must report monthly 

to HUD and the DHHL on delinquent 

borrowers and provide documentation 

to HUD to support that the loss 

mitigation requirements of 24 CFR 

203.602 have been met. To assist the 

DHHL in identifying delinquent loans, 

lenders report monthly. A delinquent 

mortgage that is reported timely would 

allow DHHL to intervene and prevent 

foreclosure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

announce the availability of the draft 

recovery plan for the endangered 

Neosho mucket (Lampsilis 

rafinesqueana). The draft recovery plan 

includes specific recovery objectives 

and criteria that must be met in order 

for us to delist this species under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

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

We request review and comment on this 

draft recovery plan from local, State, 

and Federal agencies; Tribes; and the 

public. 

Background 

The Neosho mucket is a freshwater 

mussel. The shell is up to 5 inches (18 

cm) long. The species is sexually 

dimorphic, as is typical of Lampsilis. 

The mantle lure is well developed in 

young females 2–5 years of age, but may 

be less developed in older individuals 

(Oesch 1984; McMurray et al. 2012). 

Neosho mucket glochidia (larvae) are 

obligate parasites on smallmouth bass 

(Micropterus dolomieu), largemouth 

bass (Micropterus salmoides), and 

spotted bass (Micropterus punctulatus) 

(Barnhart and Roberts 1997; Service 

2005). The Neosho mucket spawns in 

late April and May, and female brooding 

occurs May through August. Little is 

known about habitat requirements of 

Neosho mucket. It is associated with 

shallow riffles and runs comprising 

gravel substrate and moderate-to-swift 

currents. The species is most often 

found in areas with swift current, but in 

Shoal Creek and the Illinois River it 

prefers nearshore areas or areas out of 

the main current (Oesch 1984; 

Obermeyer 2000). The Neosho mucket 

does not occur in reservoirs lacking 

riverine characteristics (Obermeyer et 

al. 1997b). 

The ESA specifies five factors for 

listing species as endangered or 

threatened. The Neosho mucket is 

threatened primarily by the destruction, 

modification, or curtailment of its 

habitat or range (Listing Factor A of the 

ESA). Specific threats include 

impoundment, sedimentation, chemical 

contaminants, mining, the inadequacy 

of existing regulatory mechanisms, 

population fragmentation and isolation, 

invasive nonindigenous species, and 

water temperature. Climate change 

(Listing Factor E) is also likely to have 

adverse effects on the species due to 

alteration of hydrologic cycles of rivers 

that support Neosho mucket, but the 

extent or magnitude of this threat has 

not been quantified at this time. We 

determined that other existing
