alternative methods to increase the

response rates, it is critical that this

incentive experiment be conducted as

quickly as possible so that the findings

can be considered in plans for the 2002

NHSDA (or sooner, if possible).

Households included in this

experiment will be selected randomly

from among the households already

selected for the 2001 NHSDA. Once

assigned to the experiment, households

will be assigned to one of three

treatment groups: a $40 incentive, a $20

incentive, or no incentive.

Respondents who take part in the

incentive experiment will complete

exactly the same questionnaire as that

used for the main 2001 NHSDA. The

sample size for the incentive experiment

will be sufficient to assess the

effectiveness of the incentive as

described above. A sample of

approximately 2,500 completed

interviews is planned. No additional

burden will be realized for this

experiment beyond what was originally

calculated for the main 2001 NHSDA

data collection activities because the

experiment will be conducted among

households selected for the national

survey.

Written comments and

recommendations concerning the

proposed information collection should

be sent within two weeks of this notice

to: Stuart Shapiro, Human Resources

and Housing Branch, Office of

Management and Budget, New

Executive Office Building, Room 10235,

Washington, DC 20503.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Availability of a Habitat Conservation

Plan and Receipt of an Application for

an Incidental Take Permit for Cabin

Timber Harvest Plan, Napa County, CA

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public

that the California Baptist Foundation

(CBF) has applied to the Fish and

Wildlife Service (Service) for an

incidental take permit pursuant to

section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).

The proposed permit would authorize

the incidental take of one pair of

northern spotted owls (Strix

occidentalis caurina), federally listed as

a threatened species, that may result

due to habitat modification within the

nest stand. The permit would be in

effect for 5 years.

The Service announces the receipt of

CBF’s incidental take permit application

and the availability of the proposed

Cabin Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan),

for public comment. The Plan fully

describes the proposed project and the

measures CBF will undertake to

minimize and mitigate project impacts

to the northern spotted owl. The Service

has determined that the Cabin Timber

Harvest Plan (THP)/Plan qualifies as a

‘‘Low Effect’’ Plan as defined by the

Service’s Habitat Conservation Planning

Handbook (November 1996). The

Service has further determined that

approval of the Plan qualifies as a

categorical exclusion under the National

Environmental Policy Act, as provided

by the Department of Interior Manual

(516 DM2, Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6,

Appendix 1). The basis for this
