Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 72 / Wednesday, April 15, 2015 / Notices
after consultation with program counsel,
it was determined that a requalification
process for New York towns is
unnecessary because the units of general
local government in New York towns do
not have the same statutory notice rights
(under Section 102(e) of the Housing
and Community Development Act of
1974) as units of general local
government participating in an urban
county. In addition, each New York
town has automatic renewing
agreements with the incorporated units
of general local governments contained
within their boundaries. Therefore, it is
presumed that all incorporated units of
general local government will continue
to participate in the New York towns in
which they are located unless
Headquarters is notified to the contrary.
Respondents: Urban counties that are
eligible as entitlement grantees of the
CDBG program.
Estimation Number of Respondents:
There are currently 185 qualified urban
counties participating in the CDBG
program that must requalify every three
years.
Frequency of Response: On average,
two new counties qualify each year. The
burden on new counties is greater than
for existing counties that requalify. The
Department estimates new grantees use,
on average, 100 hours to review
instructions, contact communities in the
county, prepare and review agreements,
obtain legal opinions, have agreements
executed at the local and county level,
and prepare and transmit copies of
required documents to HUD. The
Department estimates that counties that
are requalifying use, on average, 60
hours to complete these actions. The
time savings on requalification is
primarily a result of a grantee’s ability
to use agreements with no specified end
date. Use of such ‘‘renewable’’
agreements enables the grantee to
merely notify affected participating
UGLGs in writing that their agreement
will automatically be renewed unless
the UGLG terminates the agreement in
writing, rather than executing a new
agreement every three years.

harvestman (Texella reyesi), the
endangered Pima pineapple cactus
(Coryphantha scheeri var. robustispina),
the endangered Texas snowbells (Styrax
texanus), and the endangered Walker’s
manioc (Manihot walkerae). A 5-year
review is based on the best scientific
and commercial data available at the
time of the review; therefore, we are
requesting submission of any such
information that has become available
since our original listing of these five
species or since the last 5-year review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why do we conduct a 5-year review?
Under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
we maintain Lists of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants (which
we collectively refer to as the List) in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at
50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12
(for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act
requires us to review each listed
species’ status at least once every 5
years. Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21
require that we publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing those
species under active review. For
additional information about 5-year
reviews, refer to our factsheet at https://
