Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 13, 2005 / Notices 54069 

An applicant that has already 

submitted its application does not need 

to resubmit another application. 

However, if an applicant chooses to 

make any changes to an application that 

has already been submitted, it must 

download a new application from 

Grants.gov, complete the application, 

and resubmit by the new deadline date. 

For the purpose of rating and ranking, 

HUD will review the most recent 

application and disregard any 

previously submitted application. If an 

applicant decides to resubmit an 

application, the newly submitted 

application must be complete. HUD will 

not accept partial amendments to 

applications that were previously 

submitted. 

Applicants are encouraged to submit 

their applications through Grants.gov as 

described in the SuperNOFA. In 

addition, for this FY2005 reopened 

funding opportunity, an applicant may 

submit a paper application without 

requesting a waiver from this 

requirement. HUD does not intend to 

accept paper applications in the future 

without a waiver. 

An applicant that chooses to submit a 

paper application must submit an 

original and two copies to: HUD 

Headquarters; Robert C. Weaver Federal 

Building; 451 Seventh Street, SW., 

Room 7218; Washington, DC 20410, 

Attention: CD–TA. 

As described in section IV.F.5.b of the 

General Section, an applicant 

submitting a paper application must use 

the United States Postal Service (USPS) 

to submit its application to HUD. An 

applicant must take its application to a 

post office to get a receipt of mailing 

that provides the date and time the 

package was submitted to the USPS. 

USPS rules now require that large 

packages must be brought to a postal 

facility for mailing. In many areas, the 

USPS has made a practice of returning 

to the sender, large packages that have 

been dropped in a mail collection box. 

Paper copy applications submitted to 

the USPS by the submission date and 

time and received by HUD no later than 

15 days after the established submission 

date will receive funding consideration. 

If the USPS does not have a receipt with 

a digital time stamp, HUD will accept a 

receipt showing USPS Form 3817, 

Certificate of Mailing with a dated 

postmark. The proof of submission 

receipt provided by the Postal Service 

must show receipt no later than the 

application submission deadline. An 

applicant whose application is 

determined to be late, that cannot 

furnish HUD with a receipt from the 

USPS that verifies the package was 

submitted to the USPS prior to the 

submission due date and time will not 

receive funding consideration. An 

applicant may use any type of mail 

service provided by the USPS to have 

their application package delivered to 

HUD in time to meet the submission 

requirements. 

HUD will not accept hand delivery of 

applications.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Notice of Availability of the Final Devils 

River Minnow Recovery Plan 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of document availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service) announces the 

availability of the approved recovery 

plan for the Devils River Minnow 

(Dionda diaboli). The Devils River 

minnow is known to occur in streams in 

Kinney and Val Verde Counties, Texas, 

and Coahuila, Mexico. The threats 

facing the species include: Habitat loss 

due to declining surface water flows 

from springs, pollution to streams, and 

impacts from nonnative species. The 

recovery plan outlines the necessary 

criteria, objectives and tasks to reduce 

these threats and accomplish the goal of 

delisting the Devils River minnow. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of the final recovery 

plan may be requested by contacting 

Austin Ecological Services Field Office, 

10711 Burnet Road, Suite 200, Austin, 

Texas 78758, or on the Internet at 

http://www.fws.gov/endangered/ 

recovery/. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Field Supervisor, Austin Ecological 

Services Field Office, at the above 

address; telephone (512) 490–0057, 

facsimile (512) 490–0974. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Restoring an endangered or 

threatened animal or plant to the point 

where it is again a secure, selfsustaining member of its ecosystem is a 

primary goal of the Service’s 

endangered species program. To help 

guide the recovery effort, the Service is 

working to prepare recovery plans for 

most of the listed species native to the 

United States. Recovery plans describe 

actions considered necessary for 

conservation of species, establish 

criteria for downlisting or delisting 

them, and estimate time and cost for 

implementing the recovery measures 

needed. 

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 

(Act), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.), requires the development of 

recovery plans for listed species unless 

such a plan would not promote the 

conservation of a particular species. 

Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in 

1988, requires that public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment be provided during recovery 

plan development. The Service 

considers all information presented 

during a public comment period prior to 

approval of each new or revised 

recovery plan. The Service and others 

also take these comments into account 

in the course of implementing recovery 

plans. 

The Devils River minnow (Dionda 

diaboli) was listed as threatened on 

October 20, 1999, under authority of the 

Act. A draft of the Devils River Minnow 

Recovery Plan was issued on February 

23, 2005, and public comments and peer 

reviewer comments were received until 

April 11, 2005 (70 FR 8818). The 

Service received 10 responses during 

the comment period from interested 

parties. Of these, 6 provided substantive 

comments. We also received comments 

from 5 peer reviewers. The recovery 

plan was updated to address many of 

the comments and specific responses for 

the most substantive comments are 

summarized in Appendix D of the final 

recovery plan. 

The recovery plan describes the goals, 

objectives, criteria, strategies, and 

specific tasks necessary for achieving 

recovery of the Devils River minnow. 

The goal is to improve the status of the 

species so that it may be removed from 

the list of species protected under the 

Act. Generally, the Devils River Minnow 

Recovery Plan describes the needs for 

conservation of the existing habitat 

(including conserving groundwater 

aquifers and surface water flows and 

preventing local pollution), control of 

non-native species, and possibly 

restoring an additional population 

within the historic range of Devils River 

minnow at Las Moras Creek. The 

recovery plan describes the specific 

criteria for delisting and the necessary 

recovery actions to accomplish that goal 

based on the best available scientific 

information. 

Authority: The authority for this action is 

Section 4(f) of the Endangered Species Act, 

16 U.S.C. 1533(f).
