1These annual amounts for staff time and 

expenses related to recruitment and enrollment and 

for program oversight are in addition to the onetime, up to five percent of the PHA allocation of 

mobility related services funding that PHAs were 

permitted to use for start-up costs as described in 

the Implementation Notice. 

validity of the evaluation. Any changes 

in the number of families to be enrolled 

in the CMRS, SMRS, and control groups 

will be approved by HUD and 

documented in each PHA’s 

‘‘recruitment and enrollment plan.’’ 

IV. Memorandum of Understanding 

and Performance Standards 

Requirements 

The Implementation Notice stated 

that after the program and research 

design is finalized, HUD would draft a 

memorandum of understanding (MOU) 

and performance standards agreement 

that outlines roles and responsibilities, 

the program and research design, 

description of administrative policies, 

and recapture and reallocation terms, 

among other things. After completing 

the planning phase collaboratively with 

PHAs, HUD has determined that a 

statement of responsibilities is the more 

appropriate document to capture these 

provisions. Therefore, HUD will draft 

and issue a statement of responsibilities 

to the PHA sites that includes the 

provisions of the MOU and performance 

standards agreements originally stated 

in the Implementation Notice. PHAs 

will have 60 days from the issuance of 

the statement of responsibilities to opt 

to withdraw from the demonstration. 

After 60 days from the issuance of the 

statement of responsibilities, PHAs will 

not be able to exit the demonstration 

without HUD’s prior authorization. 

V. Eligible Uses of Funds 

Through the collaborative process to 

finalize the program and research 

design, PHAs and HUD have identified 

uses of mobility-related services funding 

that will help implement the program 

effectively. These uses of mobilityrelated services funds were not directly 

addressed by the Implementation 

Notice. HUD has, for the purposes of 

transparency and clarity, included a 

discussion of these uses of funds in this 

notice. 

As part of the evaluation, families 

enrolling in the study will complete an 

enrollment process that includes a 

voluntary baseline survey. The 

enrollment process and baseline survey 

will take approximately 135 minutes to 

complete. In recognition of the time it 

takes for families to complete the study, 

HUD will require PHAs to provide a $25 

payment to each family upon 

completion of the survey, contingent on 

approval by the Office of Management 

and Budget. HUD encourages PHAs to 

provide this payment in the form of a 

gift card. This payment is an eligible use 

of mobility-related services funding. 

PHAs participating in the 

demonstration must recruit and enroll 

families into the study over a five-year 

period. Each PHA site (i.e., an 

individual PHA or the lead PHA and its 

partner) may use up to $40,000 each 

year for staff time and expenses related 

to recruitment and enrollment. 

PHAs participating in the 

demonstration will have ongoing 

oversight responsibilities for 

implementation. Given the nature of the 

evaluation and importance of ensuring 

mobility-related services are provided 

with full fidelity to the agreed upon 

program and research design, each PHA 

site may use up to $40,000 each year to 

supplement salaries of PHA staff, or hire 

new staff, who are responsible for 

providing oversight of the program.1

PHAs may also use their existing 

mobility-related services funding award 

to pay for these activities. PHAs must 

update their annual expenditure plans 

to reflect the amount of funds they 

intend to use for these purposes and 

begin immediately reporting these 

expenditures on their invoices. 

After the funding awards made on 

April 30, 2021, HUD has $4,127,590 in 

remaining mobility-related services 

funding. HUD will issue an additional 

Federal Register notice describing the 

allocation process for those remaining 

funds.

General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[L10200000.LLHQ2200000.PH0000.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement for Approval of Herbicide 

Active Ingredients for Use on Public 

Lands 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA), and the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976, as amended, the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM) intends to 

prepare a Programmatic Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the 

impacts to the environment from 

approving new herbicide active 

ingredients for use on BLM-managed 

public lands. By this notice, the BLM is 

announcing the beginning of the 

scoping process and is soliciting public 

comments regarding potential 

environmental impacts, potential 

alternatives, and relevant studies or 

analyses. 

DATES: This notice initiates the 30-day 

public scoping process for the EIS. The 

BLM requests comments concerning the 

scope of the analysis, potential 

alternatives, and identification of 

relevant information, studies, and 

analyses by May 4, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on issues related to the approval of 

herbicide active ingredients for use on 

public lands by any of the following 

methods: 

• Website: https://go.usa.gov/xtk6a. 

• Email: BLM_Herbicide_EIS@

blm.gov. 

• Mail: Seth Flanigan—Project 

Manager, HQ–220, 1387 South Vinnell 

Way, Boise, ID 83709. 

Documents pertinent to this proposal 

may be examined online at https://

go.usa.gov/xtk6a. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Seth 

Flanigan, Senior Natural Resource 

Specialist, telephone: 208–373–4094; 

email: BLM_Herbicide_EIS@blm.gov. 

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 for 

contacting Mr. Flanigan. 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: This 

document provides notice that the BLM 

intends to prepare a Programmatic EIS 

for a review of herbicides that may be 

approved for use in vegetation 

treatments on BLM-managed public 

lands, announces the beginning of the 

associated scoping process, and seeks 

public input. 

Purpose and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

The BLM’s purpose and need is to 

improve the effectiveness of its invasive 

plant management efforts by allowing 

the use of Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA)-registered herbicides not 

currently authorized for use on BLM 

public lands. Approving additional 

herbicides would diversify the BLM’s 

herbicide treatment options and help 

meet the purposes that were first 

identified in the 2007 and 2016 

Programmatic EISs also related to 

vegetation treatments, which are to 

make herbicides available for vegetation 

treatment on public lands and to 

describe the stipulations that apply to 

their use. 

Preliminary Proposed Action and 

Alternatives 

The BLM proposes to approve and use 

several herbicide active ingredients, 

including aminocyclopyrachlor, 

clethodim, fluozifop-p-butyl, 

flumioxazin, imazamox, indaziflam, 

oryzalin, and trifluralin, for use in 

vegetation treatments on public lands. 

These active ingredients are registered 

by the EPA. In an action to approve any 

of these active ingredients, the BLM will 

adopt and rely on Human Health and 

Ecological Risk Assessments prepared 

by the U.S. Forest Service. 

Preliminary Issues 

The purpose of the public scoping 

process is to determine relevant issues 

that will influence the scope of the 

environmental analysis, including 

alternatives, and guide the planning 

process. Preliminary issues for the 

analysis have been identified by BLM 

personnel and other stakeholders. These 

include effects to vegetation resources 

including special status plant species, 

aquatic and terrestrial wildlife species 

and their habitat including special 

status animal species, soil ecology, 

water quality, pollinator habitat, and 

cultural and historic resources. 

Schedule for the Decision-Making 

Process 

The BLM will provide additional 

opportunities for public participation
