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: Public 

Housing Program—Transfer and 

Consolidation of Public Housing 

Programs. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0280. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

previously approved collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: State 

legislatures or other local governing 

bodies may from time to time direct or 

agree that the public interest is best 

served if one public housing agency 

(PHA) cedes its public housing program 

to another PHA, or that two or more 

PHAs should be combined into one 

multijurisdictional PHA. This proposed 

information collection serves to protect 

the U.S. Department of Housing and 

Urban Development’s (HUD) several 

interests in either transaction: (1) 

insuring the continued used of the 

property as public housing; (2) that 

HUD’s interests are secured; and (3) that 

the operating and capital subsidies that 

HUD pays to support the operation and 

maintenance of public housing is 

properly paid to the correct PHA on 

behalf of the correct properties. In 

addition to submitting documentation to 

HUD, PHAs are required to make 

conforming changes to HUD’s Public 

Housing Information Center (PIC).

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond; including through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

have received an application from 

Thomas R. Kellaway and Doris J. 

Redmond (permittees), for a renewal of 

incidental take permit TE48316A (ITP) 

under the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.). The requested renewal would 

extend the ITP by 5 years from the date 

of reissuance. The existing ITP 

authorizes take of the federally 

endangered Morro shoulderband 

(=banded dune) snail (Helminthoglypta 

walkeriana) incidental to otherwise 

lawful activities associated with the 

construction of one residence on each of 

two separate but contiguous parcels in 

Los Osos, an unincorporated 

community of San Luis Obispo County. 

If renewed, the ITP would not authorize 

any additional take of the species. We 

request public comment on the 

application, which includes the 

permittee’s proposed habitat 

conservation plan (HCP), and on the 

Service’s preliminary determination that 

the proposed renewed ITP qualifies as 

low effect, and may qualify for a 

categorical exclusion pursuant to the 

Council on Environmental Quality’s 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) regulations (40 CFR 1501.4), the 

Department of the Interior’s (DOI) NEPA 

regulations (43 CFR 46), and the DOI’s 

Departmental Manual (516 DM 

8.5(C)(2)). We invite comment from the 

public and local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies. 

Regulatory History 

The Service listed the Morro 

shoulderband snail as endangered on 

December 15, 1994 (59 FR 64613), and 

subsequently reclassified the Morro 

shoulderband snail from endangered to 

threatened on February 3, 2022 (87 FR 

6063). Section 9 of the ESA prohibits 

‘‘take’’ of fish and wildlife species listed 

as endangered (16 U.S.C. 1538), where 

take is defined to include the following 

activities: ‘‘to harass, harm, pursue, 

hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, 

or collect, or to attempt to engage in any 

such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532). The 

take prohibitions of section 9 are 

extended to species listed as threatened 

at the discretion of the Secretary of the 

Department of the Interior and were 

extended to Morro shoulderband snail, 

with exceptions. The Service published 

a 4(d) rule, which includes exceptions 

to incidental take associated with native 

habitat enhancement and fire reduction 

activities (February 3, 2022, 87 FR 

6063). Under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the 

ESA, we may issue permits to authorize 

incidental take of listed species. 

‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the Act 

as take that is incidental to, and not the 

purpose of, carrying out of an otherwise 

lawful activity. Regulations governing 

ITPs for endangered and threatened 

species are in the Code of Federal 

Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32, 

respectively. Issuance of an incidental 

take permit also must not jeopardize the 

existence of federally listed fish, 

wildlife, or plant species. All species 

included in the incidental take permit 

would receive assurances under our 

‘‘No Surprises’’ regulations (50 CFR 

17.22(b)(5) and 17.32(b)(5)). 

Habitat Conservation Plan Area 

The Kellaway HCP area includes two 

contiguous existing legal parcels, one 

that is 5.08 acres (ac) and the other 0.45 

ac, legally described as Assessor Parcel 

Numbers 074–022–042 and 074–483– 

025, respectively. Both are located 

between Seahorse Lane and San 

Leandro Court in the southwestern 

portion of the unincorporated 

community of Los Osos, San Luis 

Obispo County, California. The current 

ITP authorizes incidental take of Morro 

shoulderband snail that would result 

from direct impacts to 1.68 ac of coastal 

dune scrub, maritime chaparral, and 

ruderal habitat occupied by this species. 

Take would be incidental to the 

otherwise lawful construction of a 

single-family residence on each of the 

two parcels, along with limited habitat 

enhancement on the larger of the 

parcels. 

Incidental Take Permit History 

We announced receipt of the 

application from Thomas R. Kellaway 

and Doris J. Redmon (the applicants) for 

the initial ITP via a Federal Register 

notice published on Friday, July 15, 

2011 (76 FR 41811). We invited 

comments from the public on the 

application, which included the 

Kellaway Low-Effect Habitat 

Conservation Plan for the Morro 

Shoulderband Snail (HCP), which we 

subsequently determined to be eligible 

for a categorical exclusion under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq; NEPA). We issued the ITP on 

September 21, 2011. 

On September 13, 2016, we 

announced receipt of an application for 

renewal of the ITP, to extend ITP 

expiration by 5 years (81 FR 62918). We 

renewed the permit, which did not 

authorize any additional take of the 

species, and then subsequently renewed 

the ITP for another 5 years on July 6, 

2021. 

The current ITP expires on September 

20, 2024. The time required to process 

and obtain a coastal development 

permit from the California Coastal 

Commission was much longer than 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 2024 / Notices 84379 

anticipated and required a project 

redesign. However, this redesign did not 

exceed the 1.68-ac development area or 

change the amount or form of take of 

Morro shoulderband snail currently 

authorized in the ITP. The permittees 

have requested no change to the covered 

species, covered activities, or HCP area 

and commit to fully implement the 

HCP. 

Current Application 

Measures in the HCP to minimize the 

amount and form of take include (1) preconstruction and construction 

monitoring surveys for Morro 

shoulderband snail within the 1.68-ac 

impact area, (2) capture and moving of 

all identified individuals of Morro 

shoulderband snail into the 

conservation easement area by an 

individual in possession of a current 

valid recovery permit for the species, (3) 

installation of protective fencing, and 

(4) development and presentation of a 

contractor and employee training 

program for Morro shoulderband snail. 

Mitigation for unavoidable take of 

Morro shoulderband snail includes (1) 

preservation in perpetuity of 3.83 ac of 

coastal dune scrub and maritime 

chaparral habitats occupied by Morro 

shoulderband snail in a conservation 

easement that will preclude any use not 

consistent with resource management, 

(2) enhancement of 0.24 ac of disturbed 

coastal dune scrub within the 

conservation easement to increase its 

value and function for Morro 

shoulderband snail, (3) postconstruction monitoring and 

maintenance of the habitat enhancement 

activities within conservation easement 

area for a period of 4 years to ensure its 

success, and (4) establishment of a 

contract with a qualified biologist or 

entity to conduct the Morro 

shoulderband snail surveys and habitat 

restoration and monitoring to provide 

assurances that all of the minimization 

and mitigation measures contained in 

the plan are implemented as proposed. 

Our Preliminary Determination 

The Service made the determination 

in 2016 that ITP renewal would not 

represent a major Federal action that 

would significantly affect the quality of 

the human environment within the 

meaning of section 102(2)(C) of NEPA 

(September 13, 2016, 81 FR 62918). The 

project and anticipated impacts have 

not changed since that determination. 

As such, the Service has made a 

preliminary determination that the 

applicant’s proposed project and the 

proposed mitigation and minimization 

measures would individually and 

cumulatively have a minor effect on the 

species and the human environment. 

Therefore, we have preliminarily 

determined that renewal of the ESA 

section 10(a)(1)(B) permit would be a 

low-effect ITP that individually or 

cumulatively would have a minor effect 

on the species and may qualify for 

application of a categorical exclusion 

pursuant to the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s NEPA 

regulations, DOI’s NEPA regulations, 

and the DOI Departmental Manual. A 

low-effect ITP is one that would result 

in (1) minor or nonsignificant effects on 

species covered in the HCP; (2) 

nonsignificant effects on the human 

environment; and (3) impacts that, 

when added together with the impacts 

of other past, present, and reasonably 

foreseeable actions, would not result in 

significant cumulative effects to the 

human environment. 

Next Steps 

The Service will evaluate the 

application for permit renewal and the 

comments received to determine 

whether to renew the ITP. After 

considering the preceding and other 

matters, we will determine whether the 

permit issuance criteria of section 

10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA have been met. If 

met, the Service will renew ITP number 

TE48316A for Thomas R. Kellaway and 

Doris J. Redmond.
