SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Efforts-to-Outcomes (ETO) is being 

terminated because the ETO system was 

designed to contain information for a 

specific population (FEMA eligible 

referrals) for a specific use and amount 

of time (DHAP eligible families who 

worked towards self-sufficiency until 

program end). ETO system was used for 

program implementation activities 

related to the Disaster Housing 

Assistance Program (DHAP) case 

management services. DHAP is a 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) pilot grant program to provide 

temporary rental subsidies and case 

management for non-HUD assisted 

individuals and families displaced by 

Hurricanes Gustav or Ike. HUD is the 

servicing agency that administers the 

DHAP program for FEMA. The program 

ended in 2011 and once over, none of 

the records would continue to be active 

because the information would not be 

eligible for existing HUD or FEMA 

programs and as such would no longer 

be needed. Records are no longer 

maintained by HUD and have run the 

record retention period and wiped from 

the system.

telecommunications relay services. 

Individuals outside the United States 

should use the relay services offered 

within their country to make

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite 

review and comment from the public 

and local, State, Tribal, and Federal 

agencies on applications we have 

received for permits to conduct certain 

activities with endangered and 

threatened species under section 

10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and our regulations 

in the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) at 50 CFR part 17. Documents and 

other information submitted with the 

applications are available for review, 

subject to the requirements of the 

Privacy Act and the Freedom of 

Information Act. 

Background 

The ESA prohibits certain activities 

with endangered and threatened species 

unless authorized by a Federal permit. 

The ESA and our implementing 

regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

provide for the issuance of such permits 

and require that we invite public 

comment before issuing permits for 

activities involving endangered species. 

A recovery permit issued by us under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA 

authorizes the permittee to conduct 

activities with endangered species for 

scientific purposes that promote 

recovery or for enhancement of 

propagation or survival of the species. 

Our regulations implementing section 

10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found 

at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife 

species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened 

wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for 

endangered plant species, and 50 CFR 

17.72 for threatened plant species. 

Permit Applications Available for 

Review and Comment 

The ESA requires that we invite 

public comment before issuing these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 

provide the general public and other 

Federal agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, proposed, revised, 

and continuing collections of 

information. This helps us assess the 

impact of our information collection 

requirements and minimize the public’s 

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand our information 

collection requirements and provide the 

requested data in the desired format. 

On February 9, 2023, we published in 

the Federal Register (88 FR 8380) a 

proposed rule (RIN 1018–BF99) 

containing a notice of our intent to 

request that OMB approve the existing 

and new information collections 

contained in that rulemaking. We 

solicited comments for 60 days, ending 

on April 10, 2023. We received one 

comment addressing the information 

collection requirements contained in 

that proposed rule, which will be 

addressed in the submission to OMB 

associated with the final rule. The 

Service plans to publish the associated 

final rule, which will request OMB 

approval of the new information 

collections, in the spring of 2024. 

However, due to this collection expiring 

before the anticipated publication of 

that final rule, we are now requesting 

that OMB approve an extension, 

without change, to this collection, to 

this collection to extend the current 

expiration date. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we are again soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

Federal agencies on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. We are especially 

interested in public comment 

addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. 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 ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: The Endangered Species Act 

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

a means to conserve the ecosystems 

upon which endangered and threatened 

species depend, to provide a program 

for the conservation of these endangered 

and threatened species, and to take the 

appropriate steps that are necessary to 

bring any endangered or threatened 

species to the point where measures 

provided for under the ESA are no 

longer necessary. Section 10(a)(1)(A) of 

the ESA authorizes us to issue permits 

for otherwise prohibited activities in 

order to enhance the propagation or 

survival of the affected species. Section 

10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA authorizes us to 

issue permits if the taking is incidental 

to the carrying out of an otherwise 

lawful activity. ESA section 10(d) 

requires that such permits be applied for 

in good faith and, if granted, that the
