Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Emergency 

Preparedness and Response Directorate, 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) has 

submitted the following information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

clearance in accordance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). The submission describes 

the nature of the information collection, 

the categories of respondents, the 

estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort 

and resources used by respondents to 

respond) and cost, and includes the 

actual data collection instruments 

FEMA will use. 

Title: Flood Mitigation Assistance 

(eGrants) and Grant Supplemental 

Information. 

OMB Number: 1660–0072. 

Abstract: Information sought in this 

collection will include all of Phase I and 

part of Phase II of the electronic, webbased application for Flood Mitigation 

Assistance (FMA) grants through 

FEMA’s eGrant system, including all 

application information and the 

financial and program performance 

reports. The eGrants system is being 

developed to meet the intent of the 

eGovernment initiative, authorized by 

Public Law 106–107 passed on 

November 20, 1999. 

Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal 

Government and Not For Profit 

Institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 56. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: The 

information collection for FMA through 

e-Grants in this OMB Approval 1660–

0072 is an optional method to the FEMA 

Grant Administration Forms, currently 

approved under OMB Approval Number 

1660–0025. We expect the availability of 

e-Grants to reduce the information 

collection and reporting burden of 

Grantees; however, since we have only 

utilized the e-Grants system for one 

complete funding cycle, we do not have 

sufficient data available to demonstrate 

or document the anticipated reduced 

burden. We expect further funding 

cycles, and increased familiarity by 

applicants on the use of the electronic 

system, to result in a reduced burden for 

respondents. FEMA will assess any 

reduction in burden hours, and 

consequently reduction in cost, to 

applicants with additional feedback 

from the FY2005 application cycle.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Recovery of endangered or threatened 

animals and plants is a primary goal of 

the Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and our endangered 

species program. Recovery means 

improvement of the status of listed 

species to the point at which listing is 

no longer required under the criteria set 

out in section 4(a)(1) of the Act. 

Recovery plans describe actions 

considered necessary for the 

conservation of the species, establish 

criteria for downlisting or delisting 

listed species, and estimate time and 

cost for implementing the measures 

needed for recovery. 

The Act requires the development of 

recovery plans for endangered or 

threatened species unless such a plan 

would not promote the conservation of 

the species. Section 4(f) of the Act 

requires that public notice, and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment, be provided during recovery 

plan development. We will consider all 

information presented during the public 

comment period on each new or revised 

recovery plan. Substantive comments 

may result in changes to a recovery 

plan. Substantive comments regarding 

recovery plan implementation may not 

necessarily result in changes to the 

recovery plan, but will be forwarded to 

appropriate Federal agency or other 

entities so that they can take these 

comments into account during the 

course of implementing recovery 

actions. Individual responses to 

comments will not be provided. 

This second draft revised recovery 

plan addresses four species of Hawaiian 

waterbirds: The Hawaiian duck or koloa 

maoli (Anas wyvilliana), Hawaiian coot 

or ‘alae ke‘oke‘o (Fulica alai), Hawaiian 

common moorhen or ‘alae ‘ula 

(Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis), and 

Hawaiian stilt or ae‘o (Himantopus 

mexicanus knudseni), all listed as 

endangered. A recovery plan for these 

four waterbirds was first published in 

1978, and the first revision of the 

recovery plan was published in 1985. 

On July 9, 1999, we published in the 

Federal Register a notice announcing 

the availability for comment of a draft 

of the second revision to the recovery
