These flood hazard determinations are 

used to meet the floodplain 

management requirements of the NFIP. 

The communities affected by the 

flood hazard determinations are 

provided in the tables below. Any 

request for reconsideration of the 

revised flood hazard information shown 

on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report 

that satisfies the data requirements 

outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered 

an appeal. Comments unrelated to the 

flood hazard determinations also will be 

considered before the FIRM and FIS 

report become effective. 

Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel 

(SRP) is available to communities in 

support of the appeal resolution 

process. SRPs are independent panels of 

experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and 

other pertinent sciences established to 

review conflicting scientific and 

technical data and provide 

recommendations for resolution. Use of 

the SRP only may be exercised after 

FEMA and local communities have been 

engaged in a collaborative consultation 

process for at least 60 days without a 

mutually acceptable resolution of an 

appeal. Additional information 

regarding the SRP process can be found 

online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/ 

srp_overview.pdf. 

The watersheds and/or communities 

affected are listed in the tables below. 

The Preliminary FIRM, and where 

applicable, FIS report for each 

community are available for inspection 

at both the online location https://

hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelim

download and the respective 

Community Map Repository address 

listed in the tables. For communities 

with multiple ongoing Preliminary 

studies, the studies can be identified by 

the unique project number and 

Preliminary FIRM date listed in the 

tables. Additionally, the current 

effective FIRM and FIS report for each 

community are accessible online 

through the FEMA Map Service Center 

at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

several HUD programs (Mortgage 

Insurance and Interest Reduction 

Payment for Rental Projects under 24 

CFR part 236; Section 8 Housing 

Assistance programs; Public Housing 

programs); HOME Investment 

Partnerships Program under 24 CFR part 

92; Housing Trust Fund under 24 CFR 

part 93; Housing Opportunities for 

Persons With AIDS under 24 CFR part 

574, the definition of income excludes 

amounts of other benefits specifically 

excluded by Federal law. 

Background 

Certain HUD programs require income 

and asset calculations to determine 

eligibility and levels of assistance. Some 

HUD programs are required by statute to 

perform income and asset 

determinations and other HUD 

programs apply these requirements 

administratively through regulations, 

notices, contract agreements, etc. Any 

HUD program that requires income 

calculations for these purposes must not 

consider sources or amounts of income 

that are specifically excluded by Federal 

law. The purpose of this notice is to 

update the list of income and asset 

sources required by Federal law to be 

excluded from consideration in HUD 

programs. 

Changes to the Previously Published 

List 

HUD last published in the Federal 

Register a notice of federally mandated 

exclusions from income on May 20, 

2014, at 79 FR 28938. Today’s notice 

replaces the previously published 

version by adding four new income 

exclusions and correcting existing 

exclusions to identify where amounts 

are excluded from consideration as 

assets in HUD programs. 

(1) Corrects an exception to payments, 

including for supportive services and 

reimbursement of out-of-pocket 

expenses, for volunteers under the 

Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, 

listed as exclusion (2); 

(2) Adds the amount of any refund (or 

advance payment with respect to a 

refundable credit) issued under the 

Internal Revenue Code is excluded from 

income and assets for a period of 12 

months from receipt (26 U.S.C. 6409), 

listed as exclusion (14); 

(3) Adds allowance paid to children 

of certain Thailand service veterans 

born with spina bifida (38 U.S.C. 1822), 

listed as exclusion (17); 

(4) Corrects the exclusion of income 

applicable to programs under the Native 

American Housing Assistance and SelfDetermination Act (NAHASDA) (25 

U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) to more accurately 

capture the language of 25 U.S.C. 

4103(9), listed as exclusion (23); 

(5) Corrects that any assistance, 

benefit, or amounts earned by or 

provided to the individual development 

account are excluded from income, as 

provided by the Assets for 

Independence Act, as amended (42 

U.S.C. 604(h)(4)), listed as exclusion 

(25); 

(6) Corrects that the first $2,000 of per 

capita payments are also excluded from 

assets unless the per capita payments 

exceed the amount of the original Tribal 

Trust Settlement proceeds and are made 

from a Tribe’s private bank account in 

which the Tribe has deposited the 

settlement proceeds (25 U.S.C. 117b(a), 

25 U.S.C. 1407), listed as exclusion (26); 

(7) Adds the value of, distributions 

from, and certain contributions to 

Achieving Better Life Experience 

(ABLE) accounts established under the 

ABLE Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–295.), 

listed as exclusion (28); and 

(8) Adds assistance received by a 

household from payments made under 

the Emergency Rental Assistance 

Program pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116– 

260), and the American Rescue Plan Act 

of 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2), listed as 

exclusion (29). 

Updated List of Federally Mandated 

Exclusions From Income 

The following updated list of 

Federally mandated income exclusions 

supersedes the notice published in the 

Federal Register on May 20, 2014. The 

exclusions listed below apply to income 

only, except where HUD states that the 

exclusion also applies to assets. Actual 

income earned from an excluded asset 

may be included in income if it is not 

deposited into an account that is 

disregarded and excluded under one of 

the below authorities. If an amount is in 

an excluded account, like an 

Independent Development Account or 

an ABLE account, then the statute or the 

regulations associated with that income/ 

asset exclusion will dictate what portion 

of the income earned off the amount, if 

any, is to be included in the family’s 

income. Please note that exclusions (13) 

and (23) have provisions that apply only 

to specific HUD programs): 

(1) The value of the allotment 

provided to an eligible household under 

the Food Stamp Act of 1977 (7 U.S.C. 

2017(b)). This exclusion also applies to 

assets; 

(2) Payments, including for 

supportive services and reimbursement 

of out-of-pocket expenses, for volunteers 

under the Domestic Volunteer Service 

Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 5044(f)(1), 42 

U.S.C. 5058), are excluded from income 

except that the exclusion shall not apply 

in the case of such payments when the 

Chief Executive Officer of the 

Corporation for National and 

Community Service appointed under 42 

U.S.C. 12651c determines that the value 

of all such payments, adjusted to reflect 

the number of hours such volunteers are 

serving, is equivalent to or greater than 

the minimum wage then in effect under 

the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 

U.S.C. 201 et seq.) or the minimum 

wage, under the laws of the State where 

such volunteers are serving, whichever 

is the greater (42 U.S.C. 5044(f)(1)). This 

exclusion also applies to assets; 

(3) Certain payments received under 

the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act 

(43 U.S.C. 1626(c)). This exclusion also 

applies to assets; 

(4) Income derived from certain 

submarginal land of the United States 

that is held in trust for certain Indian 

tribes (25 U.S.C. 5506). This exclusion 

also applies to assets; 

(5) Payments or allowances made 

under the Department of Health and 

Human Services’ Low-Income Home 

Energy Assistance Program (42 U.S.C. 

8624(f)(1)). This exclusion also applies 

to assets; 

(6) Income derived from the 

disposition of funds to the Grand River 

Band of Ottawa Indians (Pub. L. 94–540, 

section 6). This exclusion also applies to 

assets; 

(7) The first $2000 of per capita shares 

received from judgment funds awarded 

by the National Indian Gaming 

Commission or the U.S. Claims Court, 

the interests of individual Indians in 

trust or restricted lands, and the first 

$2000 per year of income received by 

individual Indians from funds derived 

from interests held in such trust or 

restricted lands. This exclusion does not 

include proceeds of gaming operations 

regulated by the Commission (25 U.S.C. 

1407–1408). This exclusion also applies 

to assets; 

(8) Amounts of student financial 

assistance funded under title IV of the 

Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 

1070), including awards under Federal 

work-study programs or under the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs student 

assistance programs (20 U.S.C. 1087uu). 

For section 8 programs only (42 U.S.C. 

1437f), any financial assistance in 

excess of amounts received by an 

individual for tuition and any other 

required fees and charges under the 

Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 

1001 et seq.), from private sources, or an 

institution of higher education (as 

defined under the Higher Education Act 

of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002)), shall not be

applications for permits to conduct 

activities intended to enhance the 

propagation and survival of endangered 

species under the Endangered Species 

Act. We invite the public and local, 

State, Tribal, and Federal agencies to 

comment on these applications. Before 

issuing the requested permits, we will 

take into consideration any information 

that we receive during the public 

comment period. 

DATES: We must receive your written 

comments on or before March 1, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Document availability and 

comment submission: Submit a request 

for a copy of the application and related 

documents and submit any comments 

by one of the following methods. All

United States who are deaf, deafblind, 

hard of hearing, or have a speech 

disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or 

TeleBraille) to access 

telecommunications relay services. 

Individuals outside the United States 

should use the relay services offered 

within their country to make 

international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite 

the public to comment on applications 

for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

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

The requested permits would allow the 

applicants to conduct activities 

intended to promote recovery of species 

that are listed as endangered under the 

ESA. 

Background 

With some exceptions, the ESA 

prohibits activities that constitute take 

of listed species unless a Federal permit 

is issued that allows such activity. The 

ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such 

activities as pursuing, harassing, 

trapping, capturing, or collecting, in 

addition to hunting, shooting, harming, 

wounding, or killing. 

A recovery permit issued by us under 

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

authorizes the permittee to conduct 

activities with endangered or threatened 

species for scientific purposes that 

promote recovery or for enhancement of 

propagation or survival of the species. 

These activities often include such 

prohibited actions as capture and 

collection. Our regulations 

implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for 

these permits are found in the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) 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 

Proposed activities in the following 

permit requests are for the recovery and 

enhancement of propagation or survival 

of the species in the wild. The ESA 

requires that we invite public comment
