Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 123 / Friday, June 26, 1998 / Notices 34913

11411), as amended, HUD is publishing

this Notice to identify Federal buildings

and other real property that HUD has

reviewed for suitability for use to assist

the homeless. The properties were

reviewed using information provided to

HUD by Federal landholding agencies

regarding unutilized and underutilized

buildings and real property controlled

by such agencies or by GSA regarding

its inventory of excess or surplus

Federal property. This Notice is also

published in order to comply with the

December 12, 1988 Court Order in

National Coalition for the Homeless v.

Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–

OG (D.D.C.).

Properties reviewed are listed in this

Notice according to the following

categories: Suitable/available, suitable/

unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and

unsuitable. The properties listed in the

three suitable categories have been

reviewed by the landholding agencies,

and each agency has transmitted to

HUD: (1) Its intention to make the

property available for use to assist the

homeless, (2) its intention to declare the

property excess to the agency’s needs, or

(3) a statement of the reasons that the

property cannot be declared excess or

made available fror use as facilities to

assist the homeless.

Properties listed as suitable/available

will be available exclusively for

homeless use for a period of 60 days

from the date of this Notice. Homeless

assistance providers interested in any

such property should send a written

expression of interest to HHS, addressed

to Brian Rooney, Division of Property

Management, Program Support Center,

HHS, room 5B–41, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443–2265.

(This is not a toll-free number.) HHS

will mail to the interested provider an

application packet, which will include

instructions for completing the

application. In order to maximize the

opportunity to utilize a suitable

property, providers should submit their

written expressions of interest as soon

as possible. For complete details

concerning the processing of

applications, the reader is encouraged to

refer to the interim rule governing this

program, 24 CFR part 581.

For properties listed as suitable/to be

excess, that property may, if

subsequently accepted as excess by

GSA, be made available for use by the

homeless in accordance with applicable

law, subject to screening for other

Federal use. At the appropriate time,

HUD will publish the property in a

Notice showing it as either suitable/

available or suitable/unavailable.

For properties listed as suitable/

unavailable, the landholding agency has

decided that the property cannot be

declared excess or made available for

use to assist the homeless, and the

property will not be available.

Properties listed as unsuitable will

not be made available for any other

purpose for 20 days from the date of this

Notice. Homeless assistance providers

interested in a review by HUD of the

determination of unsuitability should

call the toll free information line at 1–

800–927–7588 for detailed instructions

or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the

address listed at the beginning of this

Notice. Included in the request for

review should be the property address

(including zip code), the date of

publication in the Federal Register, the

landholding agency, and the property

number.

For more information regarding

particular properties identified in this

Notice (i.e., acreage, floor plan, existing

sanitary facilities, exact street address),

providers should contact the

appropriate landholding agencies at the

following addresses: GSA: Mr. Brian K.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: E.

LaVerne Smith, Chief, Division of

Endangered Species, 703/358–2171.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has

submitted the following information

collection clearance requirements to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for renewal under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104–13.

A previous 60 day notice on this

information collection requirement was

published in the Federal Register on

January 6, 1998 (63 FR 1490–91)

inviting public comment. No comments

on the previous notice were received as

of March 10, 1998. Emergency approval

for this information collection

requirement was cleared on January 29,

1998 under OMB control number 1018–

0096. Pursuant to this renewal,

comments are invited on (1) whether the

collection 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 burden, including

the validity of the methodology and

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information on those who are to

respond, including through the use of

appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology. The

information collections in this program

will not be part of a system of records

covered by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.

552(a)).

Experimental populations established

under section 10(j) of the Endangered

Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended,

require information collection and

reporting to the Service. Section 9 of the

ESA describes prohibited acts involving

threatened or endangered species (16

U.S.C. section 1538 (a)(1)(B)). There are

three major categories of information

collected under the already issued

experimental population rules. To date

these categories have encompassed

information relating to: (1) The general

taking or removal of individuals of an

experimental population, and (2) the

authorized taking of individuals related

to reports of depredation on livestock or

pets caused by individuals that are part

of an experimental population and (3)

the collection of specimens or the

recovery of dead animals that are part of

an experimental population. These three

categories have adequately described

the types of information needed to

evaluate the efficacy of the program and

are expected to continue to accurately

describe activities under the program.

Because individuals of designated

experimental populations for species

listed as threatened or endangered

under the ESA are categorically

protected, documentation of humanrelated mortalities, recovery of dead

specimens and other types of take

related to the status of experimental

populations is important to the Service

in order to monitor the success of

reintroduction efforts, and recovery

efforts in general. In order to minimize

potential conflict with humans which

could undermine recovery efforts,

livestock depredations connected with

experimental populations of listed

species require prompt attention for

purposes of determining the location,

timing, and nature of the predatory

behavior involved, accurate

determination of the species responsible

for a livestock kill, and the timely

application of necessary control

measures.

The Service, in cooperation with the

USDA/APHIS Division of Wildlife

Services or other cooperating State or

Federal agencies, relies on prompt

public reporting of depredation in order

to resolve livestock related problems,

and therefore a time sensitive

requirement for reporting problems

(generally within 24 hours) to the

appropriate Service office is necessary.

Information collection is achieved

primarily by means of telephone calls

by members of the public to Service

offices specified in the individual rules

(some may choose to use facsimile or

electronic mail). Information required is

limited to the identity of the caller,

species involved, time and place of an

incident, the type of incident, and

circumstances related to the incident

described. The vast majority of the

information supplied to the Service as a

result of experimental population

regulations, is provided by cooperating

State and Federal agencies under

cooperative agreement. However, some

of the information collected by the

Service under the experimental

population rules is provided by the

public.

The collected information can be

separated into three categories; general

take or removal, depredation related

take, and specimen collection. General

take or removal information refers to

human related mortality including

unintentional taking incidental to

otherwise lawful activities (e.g. highway

mortalities), take in defense of human

life, take related to defense of property

(if authorized) or take in the form of

authorized harassment. Most contacts

related to this type of information

collection are in regard to sightings of

experimental animals, or the

inadvertent discovery of an injured or

dead individual. Depredation related

take refers to the reporting of take for

management purposes, where livestock

depredation has been documented or

may include authorized harassment or

lethal take of experimental animals in

the act of attacking livestock. The

information collection required by the

rules for this type of take include the

necessary follow-up reports after the

Service has authorized harassment or

lethal take of experimental animals in

relation to confirmed instances of

livestock depredation or in defense of

human life. Specimen collection is for

the purpose of documenting incidental

or authorized scientific collection. Most

of the information collection

requirement for this take pertains

primarily to the reporting of sightings of

experimental population animals or the

inadvertent discovery of an injured or

dead individual. Information collection

is required for necessary follow-up

reports when the Service has authorized

take of experimental animals for

specimen collection.

The standard information collection

includes the name, address, and phone

number of the reporting party, location

and time of the reported incident,

species of experimental population

involved. Reporting parties include, but

are not limited to, individuals or

households, farms, businesses, and

other non-profit organizations. The

reporting of specimen collections,

recovery, or even the reporting of dead

individuals from experimental

populations is important to the Service’s

efforts in monitoring these individuals

and for other scientific purposes.

Because the number of reports

generated annually by the general

public (rather than cooperating agencies

or separately permitted individuals)

under these rules is extremely small (far

less than one report per year, per rule)

and to assure thorough documentation

of results, the Service is estimating the

number of expected reports to assume a

maximum number per year based on

allowance for increased population size

and public awareness of this

experimental population.
