DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

Health Care Financing Administration

[Document Identifier: HCFA–10037]

Emergency Clearance: Public

Information Collection Requirements

Submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB)

AGENCY: Health Care Financing

Administration, HHS.

In compliance with the requirement

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the

Health Care Financing Administration

(HCFA), Department of Health and

Human Services, is publishing the

following summary of proposed

collections for public comment.

Interested persons are invited to send

comments regarding this burden

estimate or any other aspect of this

collection of information, including any

of the following subjects: (1) The

necessity and utility of the proposed

information collection for the proper

performance of the agency’s functions;

(2) the accuracy of the estimated

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected; and (4) the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology to

minimize the information collection

burden.

We are, however, requesting an

emergency review of the information

collections referenced below. In

compliance with the requirement of

section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, we have

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) the following

requirements for emergency review. We

are requesting an emergency review

because the collection of this

information is needed before the

expiration of the normal time limits

under OMB’s regulations at 5 CFR part

1320. This is necessary to ensure

compliance with the Supreme Court’s

decision in Olmstead v. L.C., (119 S.Ct.

2176 (1999) required States to provide

community-based services for persons

with disabilities who would otherwise

receive services in an institutional

setting under certain circumstances. We

cannot reasonably comply with the

normal clearance procedures because of

the potential for public harm: the funds

set aside for the grants would revert to

the general fund and States, together

with their disability and aging

communities that have already

undertaken extensive planning efforts

for these grant opportunities, would be

significantly harmed.

HCFA is requesting OMB review and

approval of this collection by May 22,

2001, with a 180-day approval period.

Written comments and

recommendations will be accepted from

the public if received by the individuals

designated below by May 21, 2001.

During this 180-day period, we will

publish a separate Federal Register

notice announcing the initiation of an

extensive 60-day agency review and

public comment period on these

requirements. We will submit the

requirements for OMB review and an

extension of this emergency approval.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Notice of Permit Application and Safe

Harbor Agreement Between the Fish

and Wildlife Service and Caroline H.

Paterson and Thomas W. Paterson

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability and 30-day

public comment period.

SUMMARY: Caroline H. and Thomas W.

Paterson (Applicants) have applied to

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

(Service) for an incidental take permit

pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the

Endangered Species Act (Act). The

Applicants have been assigned permit

number TE–035920–0. The requested

permit, which is for a period of 30 years,

would authorize the take of the

following species: endangered

southwestern willow flycatcher and

Mexican gray wolf; threatened bald

eagle, Mexican spotted owl, and loach

minnow. The proposed take could occur

as a result of conservation measures

implemented on Spur Ranch, consisting

of riparian restoration activities along

Centerfire Creek, including planting

native vegetation; grade control

structures in Centerfire Creek to control

erosion and downcutting; and upland

management activities designed to

improve overall habitat health,

including prescribed burning, selective

timber harvesting, and controlled

grazing. Currently, none of the species

mentioned above are known to occur on

the property. The Applicants in

cooperation with the Service have

prepared the Safe Harbor Agreement

(SHA) to provide a conservation benefit

to the species and allow for the take of

these species. Based upon guidance in

the Service’s June 17, 1999, Final Safe

Harbor Policy, if a SHA and associated

permit are not expected to individually

or cumulatively have a significant

impact on the quality of the human

environment or other natural resources,

the Agreement/permit may be

categorically excluded from undergoing

National Environmental Policy Act

review. The Spur Ranch SHA qualifies

as a ‘‘Low Effect’’ SHA, thus, this action

is a categorical exclusion. The ‘‘Low

Effect’’ determination for the Spur
