community stakeholders from incidents 

of TNR; provide process

leaders and security professionals can 

implement to inform faith-based 

communities about ongoing TNR threats 

and resources; an effective way to 

encourage faith-based communities to 

report TNR threats; and assessments for 

faith-based leaders and security 

professional on how well safety and

have prevented targeted violence and 

terrorism utilizing safety and security 

resources; best practices from those 

examples that other faith communities 

can adopt; examples of how faith

faith groups in the event of an act of 

targeted violence. 

Schedule: The subcommittees

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Notice of these meetings is provided 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. 

1009(a)(2) through implementing 

regulations at 41 CFR 102–3.150. The 

MHCC was established by the National 

Manufactured Housing Construction 

and Safety Standards Act of 1974, 42 

U.S.C. 5403(a)(3), as amended by the 

Manufactured Housing Improvement 

Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–569). 

According to 42 U.S.C. 5403, as 

amended, the purposes of the MHCC are 

to: 

• Provide periodic recommendations 

to the Secretary to adopt, revise, and 

interpret the Federal manufactured 

housing construction and safety 

standards in accordance with this 

subsection; 

• Provide periodic recommendations 

to the Secretary to adopt, revise, and 

interpret the procedural and 

enforcement regulations, including 

regulations specifying the permissible 

scope and conduct of monitoring in

business in a manner that guarantees a 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
6536 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 2024 / Notices 

fair opportunity for the expression and 

consideration of various positions and 

for public participation. 

The MHCC is deemed an advisory 

committee not composed of Federal 

employees. 

Public Comment 

Citizens wishing to make comments 

on the business of the MHCC are 

encouraged to register by or before 

Monday, February 5, 2024, by 

contacting the Administering 

Organization (AO), Home Innovation 

Research Labs; Attention: Kevin 

Kauffman, 400 Prince Georges Blvd., 

Upper Marlboro, MD 20774, or email to 

mhcc@homeinnovation.com or call 1– 

888–602–4663. Written comments are 

encouraged. All written comments must 

be provided to mhcc@

homeinnovation.com no later than 

Monday, February 12, 2024. Advance 

registration for both meetings is strongly 

encouraged. 

Please note, written comments 

submitted will not be read during the 

meeting but will be provided to the 

MHCC members prior to the meeting. 

The MHCC will also provide an 

opportunity for oral public comments 

on specific matters before the MHCC at 

each meeting. The total amount of time 

for oral comments will be 30 minutes, 

in two 15-minute periods, with each 

commenter limited to two minutes to 

ensure pertinent Committee business is 

completed and all public comments can 

be expressed. The Committee will not 

respond to individual written or oral 

statements; however, it will take all 

public comments into account in its 

deliberations. The MHCC strives to 

accommodate citizen comments to the 

extent possible within the time 

constraints of the meeting agenda. 

Noting the complexity of the 

Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Energy 

Conservation Rule as it works to align 

energy conservation standards with its 

Manufactured Housing Construction 

and Safety Standards, HUD is 

scheduling two meetings of the MHCC 

to allow robust discussion, analysis, and 

consideration of the notice of proposed 

rulemaking, Energy Conservation 

Program: Energy Conservations 

Standards for Manufactured Housing; 

Enforcement published by DOE on 

December 23, 2024 at 88 FR 88844 (the 

‘‘DOE NPR’’). These meetings are 

scheduled for two days to provide 

sufficient time for thorough 

consideration. HUD, therefore, strongly 

encourages active participation by 

committee members, stakeholders, and 

other interested parties.

Fish and Wildlife Service 

[Docket No. FWS–R6–ES–2021–0056; 

FF06E21000 245 FXES11140600000]

Programmatic Safe Harbor Agreement 

and Candidate Conservation 

Agreement With Assurances for 

Kansas Aquatic Species 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), are 

announcing the availability of 

documents associated with an 

application to amend an enhancement 

of survival permit (permit) under the 

Endangered Species Act. The Kansas 

Department of Wildlife and Parks has 

applied to amend the existing 

Programmatic Safe Harbor Agreement 

and Candidate Conservation Agreement 

with Assurances for 15 Aquatic Species 

in Kansas (SHA/CCAA) by adding 6 

additional covered species: Lake 

sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens), 

sicklefin chub (Macrhybopsis meeki), 

sturgeon chub (Macrhybopsis gelida), 

snuffbox mussel (Epioblasma triquetra), 

spectaclecase (Cumberlandia 

monodonta), and Ouachita kidneyshell 

(Ptychobranchus occidentalis). The 

documents available for review and 

comment are the applicant’s proposed 

amended programmatic SHA/CCAA, 

which is part of the permit amendment 

application, and our draft 

environmental action statement and 

low-effect screening form, which 

support a categorical exclusion for the 

amendment under the National 

Environmental Policy Act. We invite 

comments from the public and Federal, 

Tribal, State, and local governments. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

March 4, 2024. Comments submitted 

online at https://www.regulations.gov
