SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Community Development Block Grant 

Entitlement Program. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0077. 

Type of Request: Revision. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: This 

request identifies the estimated 

reporting burden associated with 

information that CDBG entitlement 

grantees will report in IDIS for CDBGassisted activities, recordkeeping 

requirements, and reporting 

requirements. Grantees are encouraged 

to update their accomplishments in IDIS 

on a quarterly basis. In addition, 

grantees are required to retain records 

necessary to document compliance with 

statutory and regulatory requirements, 

Executive orders, 2 CFR part 200 

requirements, and determinations 

required to be made by grantees as a 

determination of eligibility. Among the 

reports grantees now submit in IDIS is 

the PR 29 Cash on Hand Quarterly 

Report. This report is a conversion of 

the SF–425. Federal Financial Report, 

that grantees submitted by hard copy, 

but with the addition of data elements 

related to local account repayment 

receipt funds and revolving loan funds 

that grantees may have under their 

control. As a new form, included in this 

information collection for the first time, 

it is also being presented for OMB 

review and approval and public 

comment. Also, grantees are required to 

prepare and submit their Consolidated 

Annual Performance and Evaluation 

Reports, which demonstrate the 

progress grantees make in carrying out 

CDBG-assisted activities listed in their 

consolidated plans. This report is due to 

HUD 90 days after the end of the 

grantee’s program year. The information 

required for any activity is generally 

based on the eligibility of the activity 

and which of the three national 

objectives (benefit low- and moderateincome persons; eliminate/prevent 

slums or blight; or meet an urgent need) 

the grantee has determined that the 

activity will address. 

Respondents: Grant recipients 

(metropolitan cities and urban counties) 

participating in the CDBG Entitlement 

Program. 

Estimation number of Respondents: 

1,237. 

Estimation Number of Responses: The 

proposed frequency of the response to 

the collection is on an annual basis. 

Frequency of Response: Annually.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Geological Survey 

[GX24EN05ESBJF00] 

Assessment of Biodiversity and 

Climate Change; Request for Public 

Comment on the First Draft of 

Assessment Chapters 

AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice with comment period. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS) is giving notice of a comment 

period on draft chapters of the 

Biodiversity and Climate Change 

Assessment. 

DATES: Comments regarding the draft 

chapters of the assessment must be 

submitted by December 16, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods: 

• Electronic portal: https://contribute.

globalchange.gov/ 

• Email to biodiversityclimatechange@

usgs.gov 

• Mail to Kate Malpeli, 12201 Sunrise 

Valley Dr., MS–516, Reston, VA 

20192, United States 

Instructions: Public comments should 

be accompanied by the commentor’s 

name, phone number, email address, 

and affiliation (at the commentor’s 

discretion). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate 

Malpeli by email at 

biodiversityclimatechange@usgs.gov or 

by telephone at 919–896–5029. 

Individuals in the 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 of 

contact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Biodiversity underlies nature’s 

contributions to people (also known as 

ecosystem services), including food, 

water, health, hazard protection, and 

cultural values. Climate change is 

among the primary drivers of 

biodiversity loss, and well-managed 

biodiversity conservation can contribute 

to climate-change mitigation and 

adaptation. Understanding the interplay 

between climate change and 

biodiversity is critical for the 

implementation of effective and lasting 

solutions to climate change and for 

maintaining biodiversity and nature’s 

contributions to people. 

The USGS, the nation’s largest water, 

earth, and biological science agency, 

was charged by the United States 

Congress in the Fiscal Year 2022 budget 

with conducting an assessment that 

characterizes the state of understanding 

concerning linkages between climate 

change and biodiversity for the United 

States. Climate change impacts and 

biodiversity drivers cross national 

boundaries, and accordingly the 

geographic scope of assessment will 

include neighboring nations, 

particularly Canada and Mexico. The 

assessment process and report 

production will be led by the USGS, in 

collaboration with Environment and 

Climate Change Canada and Mexico’s La 

Comisio ́n Nacional para el 

Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad 

(CONABIO), and is being undertaken by 

scientists, knowledge holders, 

practitioners, and policy experts from 

all three countries. Participation 

includes engagement from governments 

at all levels, universities, nonprofit 

organizations, the private sector, 

Indigenous Peoples, and local 

communities. The assessment will 

characterize the state of understanding 

concerning key linkages between 

climate change and biodiversity, 

identify critical knowledge gaps, and 

summarize implications for biodiversity 

and climate-change policy. The 

assessment will build on the recently 

completed Intergovernmental Platform 

on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services 

(IPBES) global assessment of 

biodiversity and ecosystem services and 

represent a continental contribution to 

upcoming IPBES (and other) knowledge 

products. The primary product will 

comprise an assessment report, planned 

for release in early 2025, evaluating the 

relationships between climate and 

biodiversity in the United States, 

Canada, Mexico, and adjacent regions as 

appropriate, and identifying policy 

options to conserve biodiversity in the 

face of climate change. 

As the first milestone, USGS and its 

partners seek public comments on the 

draft chapters (https://contribute.global

change.gov/) for the assessment of 

biodiversity and climate change.
