SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Participation and Request for 

Comments 

This notice relies on the authority of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 

44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., chapter 35, as 

amended. An ICR is an application to 

OIRA seeking the approval, extension, 

or renewal of a Coast Guard collection 

of information (Collection). The ICR 

contains information describing the 

Collection’s purpose, the Collection’s 

likely burden on the affected public, an 

explanation of the necessity of the 

Collection, and other important 

information describing the Collection. 

There is one ICR for each Collection. 

The Coast Guard invites comments on 

whether this ICR should be granted 

based on the Collection being necessary 

for the proper performance of 

Departmental functions. In particular, 

the Coast Guard would appreciate 

comments addressing: (1) The practical 

utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden of the 

Collection; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of 

information subject to the Collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the Collection on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

In response to your comments, we 

may revise this ICR or decide not to seek 

an extension of approval for the 

Collection. We will consider all 

comments and material received during 

the comment period. 

We encourage you to respond to this 

request by submitting comments and 

related materials. Comments must

OMB Control Number: 1625–0086. 

Summary: The Office of Great Lakes 

Pilotage is seeking an extension of 

OMB’s current approval for Great Lakes 

Pilotage data collection requirements for 

the three U.S. pilot associations it 

regulate. This extension would require 

continued submission of data to an 

electronic collection system and Form 

CG–4509. This system is identified as 

the Great Lakes Pilot Management 

System which replaced the manual 

paper submissions used to collect data 

on bridge hours, vessel delay, vessel 

cancellation, pilot travel and 

administration, revenues, pilot 

availability, and related data. This 

extension ensures the required data is 

available in a timely manner and allows 

immediate accessibility to data crucial 

from both an operational and ratemaking standpoint. 

Need: To comply with the statutory 

and regulatory requirements respecting 

the rate-making and oversight functions 

imposed upon the agency. 

Forms: CG–4509, Application for 

Registration as United States Registered 

Pilot. 

Respondents: The three U.S. pilot 

associations regulated by the Office of 

Great Lakes Pilotage and members of the 

public applying to become Great Lakes 

Registered Pilots. 

Frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 

Quarterly, Semi-annually, Annually, On 

occasion; frequency dictated by marine 

traffic levels and association staffing. 

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden increased to 1,214 hours a year. 

This increase is an update due to 

increased traffic on the Great Lakes and 

better record keeping in the past four 

years. The information requested from 

the respondents has not changed. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as 

amended. 

Dated: January 19, 2022.

benefits to improve its approach to 

ensuring compliance with its civil 

rights, nondiscrimination and equity 

requirements, and obligations as 

outlined in federal civil rights laws such 

as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, Section 504 of 

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. 

794, and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 

Relief and Emergency Assistance Act 

(the Stafford Act). Such demographic 

data concerning individuals who 

participate in or benefit from the 

Agency’s programs and activities will 

increase FEMA’s ability evaluate the 

accessibility and distributional equity of

Collection of Information 

Title: Generic Clearance for Civil 

Rights and Equity. 

Type of Information Collection: New 

information collection. 

OMB Number: 1660–NW133. 

FEMA Forms: Under the Generic 

Clearance, each Federal Emergency 

Management Agency component will 

submit their specific forms for the 

collection of demographics. FEMA 

Form: FF–256–FY–21–100, Generic 

Clearance Civil Rights and Equity. The 

Agency is prepared to add these 

questions to the Individuals and 

Households program registration, FF– 

104–FY–21–123 (formerly FEMA Form 

009–0–1T (English)), Tele-Registration, 

Disaster Assistance Registration, FF–

Assistance Registration, FF–104–FY– 

21–122 (formerly FEMA Form 009–0–1 

(English)), Paper Application/Disaster 

Assistance Registration. The 

demographic data will help the 

Individuals and Households program 

improve operational outcomes for 

vulnerable communities by using 

analysis of demographic data against 

program outcomes to evaluate whether 

any disparities in eligibility 

determinations appear to impact 

vulnerable communities. FEMA would 

then use this data to determine how to 

improve service delivery for all 

survivors. FEMA expects a burden of no 

more than 5 minutes per registration to 

answer the additional questions, with 

the entire estimated annual burden 

outlined below. 

Abstract: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency will use the 

demographic characteristics collected 

from applicants and beneficiaries to 

assess its civil rights, nondiscrimination 

and equity requirements, and 

obligations as outlined in federal civil 

rights laws such as the Civil Rights Act, 

Rehabilitation Act, and the Stafford Act.

information, including the validity of

Receipt of Incidental Take Permit 

Application and Proposed Habitat 

Conservation Plan for the Ford Ridge 

Wind Project, Ford County, Illinois; 

Categorical Exclusion 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

documents; request for comment and 

information. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, have received an 

application from Ford Ridge Wind Farm 

LLC (applicant), for an incidental take 

permit (ITP) under the Endangered 

Species Act, for its Ford Ridge Wind 

Project (project). If approved, the ITP 

would be for a 6-year period and would 

authorize the incidental take of an 

endangered species, the Indiana bat, and 

a threatened species, the northern longeared bat. The applicant has prepared a 

habitat conservation plan that describes 

the actions and measures that the 

applicant would implement to avoid, 

minimize, and mitigate incidental take 

of the Indiana bat and northern longeared bat. We request public comment 

on the application, which includes the 

applicant’s proposed habitat 

conservation plan (HCP), and on the 

Service’s preliminary determination that 

this HCP qualifies as ‘‘low-effect,’’ 

categorically excluded under the 

National Environmental Policy Act. To 

make this determination, we used our 

environmental action statement and 

low-effect screening form, both of which 

are also able for public review. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

February 24, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Document availability: 

Electronic copies of the documents 

this notice announces, along with 

public comments received, will be 

available online in Docket No. FWS– 

R3–ES–2021–0167 at http://

Comment submission: In your 

comment, please specify whether your 

comment addresses the proposed HCP, 

draft environmental action statement, or 

any combination of the aforementioned 

documents, or other supporting 

documents. You may submit written 

comments by one of the following
