Section 215 of Division G, Title II of 

Public Law 108–199, enacted January 

23, 2004 (HUD’s 2004 Appropriations 

Act) amended Section 224 of the Act, to 

change the debenture interest rate for 

purposes of calculating certain 

insurance claim payments made in cash. 

Therefore, for all claims paid in cash on 

mortgages insured under Section 203 or 

234 of the National Housing Act and 

endorsed for insurance after January 23, 

2004, the debenture interest rate will be 

the monthly average yield, for the 

month in which the default on the 

mortgage occurred, on United States 

Treasury Securities adjusted to a 

constant maturity of 10 years, as found 

in Federal Reserve Statistical Release 

H–15. The Federal Housing 

Administration has codified this 

provision in HUD regulations at 24 CFR 

203.405(b) and 24 CFR 203.479(b). 

Similarly, Section 520(a) of the 

National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1735d) 

provides for the payment of an 

insurance claim in cash on a mortgage 

or loan insured under any section of the 

National Housing Act before or after the 

enactment of the Housing and Urban 

Development Act of 1965. The amount 

of such payment shall be equivalent to 

the face amount of the debentures that 

would otherwise be issued, plus an 

amount equivalent to the interest which 

the debentures would have earned, 

computed to a date to be established 

pursuant to regulations issued by the 

Secretary. The implementing HUD 

regulations for multifamily insured 

mortgages at 24 CFR 207.259(e)(1) and 

(e)(6), when read together, provide that 

debenture interest on a multifamily 

insurance claim that is paid in cash is 

paid from the date of the loan default at 

the debenture rate in effect at the time 

of commitment or endorsement (or 

initial endorsement if there are two or 

more endorsements) of the loan, 

whichever is higher. 

Section 221(g)(4) of the Act provides 

that debentures issued pursuant to that 

paragraph (with respect to the 

assignment of an insured mortgage to 

the Secretary) will bear interest at the 

‘‘going Federal rate’’ in effect at the time 

the debentures are issued. The term 

‘‘going Federal rate’’ is defined to mean 

the interest rate that the Secretary of the 

Treasury determines, pursuant to a 

statutory formula based on the average 

yield on all outstanding marketable 

Treasury obligations of 8- to 12-year 

maturities, for the 6-month periods of 

January through June and July through 

December of each year. Section 221(g)(4) 

is implemented in the HUD regulations 

at 24 CFR 221.255 and 24 CFR 221.790. 

The Secretary of the Treasury has 

determined that the interest rate to be 

borne by debentures issued pursuant to 

Section 221(g)(4) during the 6-month 

period beginning July 1, 2021, is 11⁄2

percent. The subject matter of this 

notice falls within the categorical 

exemption from HUD’s environmental 

clearance procedures set forth in 24 CFR 

50.19(c)(6). For that reason, no 

environmental finding has been 

prepared for this notice. 

(Authority: Sections 211, 221, 224, National 

Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 1715b, 1715l, 1715o; 

Section 7(d), Department of HUD Act, 42 

U.S.C. 3535(d).)

1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general 

public and other Federal agencies with 

an opportunity to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day public comment period soliciting 

comments on this collection of 

information was published on May 11, 

2021, 86, 25882. No comments were 

received. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we are again soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

Federal agencies on the proposed ICR 

that is described below. We are 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility. 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

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, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, email address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: This notice concerns the 

collection of information that is 

sufficient and relevant to evaluate and 

select proposals for funding under the 

NGGDPP. We will accept proposals 

from state geological surveys requesting 

funds to inventory and assess the 

condition of current collections and 

data preservation needs. Financial 

assistance will be awarded annually on 

a competitive basis following the 

evaluation and ranking of state 

proposals by a review panel composed 

of representatives from the U.S. 

Department of the Interior, state 

geological surveys, and academic 

institutions. To submit a proposal, 

respondents must complete a project 

narrative and submit the application via 

www.grants.gov. Grant recipients must 

complete a final technical report at the 

end of the project period. Narrative and 

report guidance is available at https://

datapreservation.usgs.gov, https://

www.grants.gov, and https://

home.grantsolutions.gov. 

Annual data preservation priorities 

are provided in the Program 

Announcement as guidance for 

applicants to consider when submitting 

proposals. Since its inception in 2007, 

NGGDPP has awarded 46 states with 

$12 million, which, when matched or 

exceeded by the states, amounts to over 

$24 million invested in the rescue and 

preservation efforts. This notice 

concerns the collection of information 

that is sufficient and relevant to 

evaluate and select proposals for 

funding. We will protect information 

from respondents considered 

proprietary under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and 

implementing regulations (43 CFR part 

2), and under regulations at 30 CFR 

250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be 

made available to the public or for 

limited inspection.’’ Responses are 

voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ 

nature are asked. We intend to release 

the project abstracts and identify states 

for awarded/funded projects only.

Records, system of records notice. This 

rescindment will promote the overall 

streamlining and management of DOI 

Privacy Act systems of records.
