different market conditions in different

areas.

HUD’s involvement with the

counseling dates back to the 1960s.

With the passage of the 1968 Housing

and Urban Development Act, HUD was

authorized to contract with public and

private organizations to provide

counseling to mortgagors in the Section

235 and 237 Programs. Between 1988

and 1993, HUD gave some operating

support to over 300 agencies. To ensure

that this support is being provided in a

cost-effective manner, HUD proposes to

undertake a preliminary investigation of

the feasibility of a long-term evaluation.

This investigation will include

identifying key data requirements and

pre-testing a baseline data collection

form to gather the required information

from counseling recipients.

Agency form numbers, if applicable:

None.

Members of affected public: New

participants in three counseling

programs will be asked to participate in

this data collection activity. It is

expected that at most 200 participants

in each program will be evaluated.

Estimation of the total number of

hours needed to prepare the information

collection including number of

respondents, frequency of response, and

hours of response: Information will be

collected by one-time interviews with at

most 600 participants in counseling

programs. These interviews will take

approximately thirty minutes each. This

means a total of 300 hours of response

for the information collection.

Status of the proposed information

collection: Pending OMB clearance.

Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35,

as amended.

Dated: April 30, 1996.

Construction of One Single Family

Residence at 0 Yucca Mountain Road

(Across From 9206 Yucca Mountain

Road), Austin, Travis County, Texas

Road (across from 9206 Yucca Mountain

Road), Austin, Travis County, Texas.

The Service has prepared the

Environmental Assessment/Habitat

Conservation Plan (EA/HCP) for the

the species will likely result from this

action or a Finding of No Significant

Impact (FONSI) will not be made before

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9

CFR 17.22.

APPLICANT: Chuck Clinton plans to

construction a single family residence at

0 Yucca Mountain Road, (across from

The applicant proposes to compensate

for this loss of golden-cheeked warbler

habitat by placing $1,500 into the City

of Austin Balcones Canyonlands

Conservation Fund to acquire/manage

lands for the conservation of the goldencheeked warbler. Alternatives to this

action were rejected because selling or

not developing the subject property

with federally listed species present was

not economically feasible.
