information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on November 16, 

2021 at 63416. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Proposal: Public Housing 

Agency Executive Compensation 

Information. 

OMB Approval Number: 2577–0272. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collection. 

Form Number: HUD–52725. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: Pursuant 

to a notice issued annually (most 

recently PIH Notice 2019–21), HUD 

collects information on the 

compensation provided by public 

housing agencies (PHAs) to its 

employees. More specifically, under this 

collection PHAs are to report the 

compensation paid to the top 

management official, the top financial 

official, and all employees who are paid 

an annual salary over the compensation 

cap imposed by Congress in HUD’s 

annual appropriations (Level IV of the 

Executive Schedule). 

This reporting is similar to the 

information that non-profit 

organizations receiving federal tax 

exemptions are required to report to the 

IRS annually. Because PHAs receive 

significant direct federal funds HUD has 

been collecting compensation 

information to enhance regulatory 

oversight by HUD, as well as by state 

and local authorities. HUD provides the 

information collected to the public. The 

compensation data collected includes 

base salary, bonus, and incentive and 

other compensation, and the extent to 

which these payments are made with 

any Section 8 and 9 appropriated funds. 

One of the primary purposes of this 

amendment to the PHA executive 

compensation information collection is 

to reduce the reporting burden on ALL 

PHAs by moving from an annual 

collection to collecting one year of data 

once every three years—this will reduce 

the reporting burden on PHAs by 

66.7%. 

While HUD may only collect PHA 

compensation data once every three 

years, PHAs are still subject to the 

annual compensation restrictions 

imposed by Congress. Therefore, all 

years remain subject to potential review 

by HUD to ensure compliance with the 

Annual Appropriations Act. 

Respondents: Public Housing 

Agencies. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,000. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

4,000. 

Frequency of Response: Triennially 

(once every three years). 

Average Hours per Response: One 

hour. 

Total Estimated Burdens: The total 

burden hours is estimated to be 4,000 

hours triennially. The total burden cost 

is estimated to be $128,080. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following:

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 

the use of appropriate automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

(5) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Promise Zones Reporting. 

OMB Approval Number: 2501–0035. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement with 

change of a previously approved 

collections. 

Form Number: HUD–9916 Promise 

Zone Annual Narrative Report; HUD– 

9917 Quarterly Investments & 

Assistance Report; HUD–9919 Quarterly 

Progress and Annual Priorities Report. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: This 

collection is a reinstatement with 

changes to a previous collection that 

collected information for reporting 

purposes. The HUD–XXXX ‘‘New 

Neighborhood Amenities’’ form, from 

the original 2501–0035 OMB approval, 

has been removed from this collection 

because the form was never used. 

Additionally, HUD Form 9917 (Biannual Non-Federal Investment report) 

and HUD Form 9918 (Monthly Federal 

Grants Report) have been merged so that 

HUD 9917 will now collect the 

information previously captured in 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 29 / Friday, February 11, 2022 / Notices 8029 

HUD 9918. HUD 9917 has therefore 

been reformatted to collect this new 

information and to be more userfriendly; HUD 9918 has been removed 

and retired from this collection. HUD– 

9917 will now be called the Quarterly 

Investments and Assistance Report; it 

will be collected quarterly and 

submitted cumulatively. These changes 

will reduce unnecessary copying and 

pasting, reformatting, and file 

management, and will ultimately reduce 

the burden on respondents. 

HUD designated fourteen 

communities as urban Promise Zones 

between 2014 and 2016. Under the 

Promise Zones initiative, the federal 

government invests in and partners with 

high-poverty urban, rural, and tribal 

communities to create jobs, increase 

economic activity, improve educational 

opportunities, leverage private 

investment, and reduce violent crime. 

Additional information about the 

Promise Zones initiative can be found at 

https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/ 

field_policy_mgt/fieldpolicymgtpz, and 

questions can be addressed to 

promisezone@hud.gov. The federal 

administrative duties pertaining to these 

designations shall be managed and 

executed by HUD for ten years from the 

designation dates pursuant to sections 2 

and 3 of the HUD Act, 42 U.S.C. 3531– 

32, to assist the President in achieving 

maximum coordination of the various 

federal activities which have a major 

effect upon urban community, 

suburban, or metropolitan development; 

to develop and recommend the 

President policies for fostering orderly 

growth and development of the Nation’s 

urban areas; and to exercise leadership, 

at the direction of the President, in 

coordinating federal activities affecting 

housing and urban development. To 

facilitate communication between local 

and federal partners, HUD proposes that 

Promise Zone Lead Organizations 

submit minimal reports and documents 

to support collaboration and problem 

solving between local and federal 

partners. These reports will also assist 

in communications and stakeholder 

engagement, both locally and nationally.

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, received an 

application from Saint Martin’s Abbey 

(applicant) for an incidental take permit 

(ITP) pursuant to the Endangered 

Species Act. The ITP would authorize 

the applicant’s take of the Yelm 

subspecies of the Mazama pocket 

gopher, incidental to otherwise lawful 

construction and maintenance activities 

at Saint Martin’s University in Thurston 

County, Washington. The application 

includes a habitat conservation plan 

(HCP) with measures to minimize and 

mitigate the impacts of the taking on the 

covered species. We have also prepared 

a draft environmental action statement 

for our preliminary determination that 

the HCP and our permit decision may be 

eligible for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

We provide this notice to open a public 

comment period and invite comments 

from all interested parties regarding the 

documents. 

DATES: Please submit written comments
