[Docket No. FR–4463–N–05]

Mortgage and Loan Insurance

Programs Under the National Housing

Act—Debenture Interest Rates

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner, (HUD).

ACTION: Notice of change in debenture

interest rates.

SUMMARY: This notice announces

changes in the interest rates to be paid

on debentures issued with respect to a

loan or mortgage insured by the Federal

Housing Commissioner under the

provisions of the National Housing Act

(the ‘‘Act’’). The interest rate for

debentures issued under section

221(g)(4) of the Act during the 6-month

period beginning July 1, 2000 is 71⁄2

percent. The interest rate for debentures

issued under any other provision of the

Act is the rate in effect on the date that

the commitment to insure the loan or

mortgage was issued, or the date that the

loan or mortgage was endorsed (or

initially endorsed if there are two or

more endorsements) for insurance,

whichever rate is higher. The interest

rate for debentures issued under these

other provisions with respect to a loan

or mortgage committed or endorsed

during the 6-month period beginning

July 1, 2000, is 61⁄2 percent.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James B. Mitchell, Department of

Housing and Urban Development, 451

Washington, DC 20410. Telephone (202)

708–3944, extension 2612, or TDD (202)

708–4594 for hearing- or speechimpaired callers. These are not toll-free

numbers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

224 of the National Housing Act (24

U.S.C. 1715o) provides that debentures

issued under the Act with respect to an

insured loan or mortgage (except for

debentures issued pursuant to section

221(g)(4) of the Act) will bear interest at

the rate in effect on the date the

commitment to insure the loan or

mortgage was issued, or the date the

loan or mortgage was endorsed (or

initially endorsed if there are two or

more endorsements) for insurance,

whichever rate is higher. This provision

is implemented in HUD’s regulations at

24 CFR 203.405, 203.479, 207.259(e)(6),

58560 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 190 / Friday, September 29, 2000 / Notices

and 220.830. Each of these regulatory

provisions states that the applicable

rates of interest will be published twice

each year as a notice in the Federal

Register. Section 224 further provides that the

interest rate on these debentures will be

set from time to time by the Secretary

of HUD, with the approval of the

Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount

not in excess of the annual interest rate

determined by the Secretary of the

Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula

based on the average yield of all

outstanding marketable Treasury

obligations of maturities of 15 or more

years. The Secretary of the Treasury (1) has

determined, in accordance with the

provisions of Section 224, that the

statutory maximum interest rate for the

period beginning July 1, 2000, is 61⁄2

percent and (2) has approved the

establishment of the debenture interest

rate by the Secretary of HUD at 61⁄2

percent for the 6-month period

beginning July 1, 2000. This interest rate

will be the rate borne by debentures

issued with respect to any insured loan

or mortgage (except for debentures

issued pursuant to Section 221(g)(4))

with an insurance commitment or

endorsement date (as applicable) within

the last 6 months of 2000.

For convenience of reference, HUD is

publishing the following chart of

debenture interest rates applicable to

mortgages committed or endorsed sine

Section 221(g)(4) of the Act provides

that debentures issued pursuant to that

paragraph (with respect to the

assignment of an insured mortgage to

the Secretary) will bear interest at the

‘‘going Federal rate’’ of interest in effect

at the time the debentures are issued.

The term ‘‘going Federal rate’’ is defined

to mean the interest rate that the

Secretary of the Treasury determines,

pursuant to a statutory formula based on

the average yield on all outstanding

marketable Treasury obligations of 8- to

12-year maturities, for the 6-month

periods of January through June and

July through December of each year.

Section 221(g)(4) is implemented in the

HUD regulations at 24 CFR 221.790. The Secretary of the Treasury has

determined that the interest rate to be

borne by debentures issued pursuant to

Section 221(g)(4) during the 6-month

period beginning July 1, 2000, is 71⁄2

percent. HUD expects to publish its next

notice of change in debenture interest

rates in December 2000.

The subject matter of this notice falls

within the categorical exemption from

HUD’s environmental clearance

procedures set forth in 24 CFR 50.20(1).

For that reason, no environmental

finding has been prepared for this

notice.

(Sections 211, 221, 224, National Housing

Act, 12 U.S.C. 1715b, 1715l, 1715o; section

Availability of the Report of Injury

Assessment and Injury Determination:

Coeur d’Alene Basin Natural Resource

Damage Assessment

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of the

Interior (DOI), U.S. Department of

Agriculture, and the Coeur d’Alene

Tribe (collectively, the Trustees) have

undertaken a natural resource damage

assessment (NRDA) to assess injuries

resulting from releases of hazardous

substances from mining and mineral

processing operations in the Coeur

d’Alene River basin, Idaho. Section 107

of the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation and Liability

Act (CERCLA) [42 U.S.C. 9607], section

311 of the Federal Water Pollution

Control Act [33 U.S.C. 1321], and the

National Oil and Hazardous Substances

Pollution Contingency Plan [40 CFR

part 300] provide authority to the

conduct the NRDA.

The Trustees evaluated injuries to

natural resources in the Coeur d’Alene

River basin resulting from releases of

mining-related hazardous substances

and summarized their findings in the

Report of Injury Assessment and Injury

Determination: Coeur d’Alene Basin

Natural Resource Damage Assessment

(Report). Trustees used the Coeur

d’Alene Basin Natural Resource Damage

Assessment Plan, Injury

Determination—Phase I, released in

October 1993, and the Coeur d’Alene

Basin Natural Resource Damage

Assessment Plan, Phase II—Injury

Quantification/Damage Determination,

released in June 1996, guide the NRDA

process.

Natural resources of the Coeur

d’Alene River basin that were assessed

for injury include: surface water;

groundwater; bed, bank, and shoreline

sediments; riparian and floodplain soils;

aquatic biota, including both fish and

aquatic invertebrates; wildlife,

including birds, mammals, reptiles,

amphibians; and vegetation. The areas

assessed for natural resource injuries

includes the South Fork Coeur d’Alene

River basin, tributary drainages to the

South Fork Coeur d’Alene River in

which mining and milling occurred, the

mainstem Coeur d’Alene River and

associated lateral lakes and wetlands,

and Coeur d’Alene Lake from the area

near Conkling Point to the Spokane

River.

The Report sets forth the data and

analysis of information obtained by the
