Funding Awards.
AGENCY:
Texas; Amendment No. 4 to Notice of
a Major Disaster Declaration
Jkt 238001
Section
1131 of HERA Division A amended the
Act to add a new section 1337 entitled
‘‘Affordable Housing Allocations’’ and a

preserving the supply of rental housing
for extremely low-income families with
incomes between 0 and 30 percent of
area median income and very lowincome families with incomes between
30 and 50 percent of area median
income, including homeless families,
and (2) increasing homeownership for
extremely low-income and very lowincome families.
Section 1337 of the Act provides for
the HTF (and other programs) to be
funded with an affordable housing set
aside by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The total set-aside amount is equal to

formula for distribution of amounts
made available for the HTF. The statute
specifies the factors to be used for the
formula and priority for certain factors.
The factors and methodology HUD uses
to allocate HTF funds among eligible

concern affecting the species include
illegal collection, habitat disturbances
(mining, recreation, off-highway vehicle
(OHV) use, livestock grazing, road and
utility corridor development, general
construction, and livestock grazing),
invasive plant species, small mammal
and insect predation, native ungulate
disturbance, inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms, and climate
change.
San Rafael Cactus
San Rafael cactus is a small, yellowto peach-flowered cactus that often
retracts entirely into the ground during
the winter and dry seasons. It is
endemic to Emery County of central
Utah and most commonly occurs on
sites with a south exposure at elevations
of 1,450–2,080 m (4,760–6,820 ft).
San Rafael cactus was listed as an
endangered species under the ESA,
effective October 16, 1987 (52 FR 34914;
September 16, 1987). Factors of concern
affecting the species include illegal
collection, habitat disturbances (mining,
recreation, off-highway vehicle (OHV)
use, livestock grazing, road and utility
corridor development, general
construction, and livestock grazing),
invasive plant species, small mammal
and insect predation, native ungulate
disturbance, inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms, wild horse
disturbance, paleontological
exploration, and climate change.
Recovery Strategies
Our recovery strategies for Winkler
cactus and San Rafael cactus are based
on the assumption that if specific
criteria are met for the existing
populations, the species can be
recovered. Broadly, these criteria
require that the population trends for
both species be stable or improving over
the long term, the available habitat base
for each population be adequate for
long-term health and sustainability, the
populations and habitats are secure
from decline, and long-term
management plans for the populations
and their habitats are in place that
address those threats.
Request for Public Comments
The Service solicits public comments
on the draft recovery plan. All
comments we receive by the date
specified in DATES will be considered
prior to approval of the plan. Written
comments and materials regarding the
plan should be addressed to the Field
Supervisor (see ADDRESSES). Comments
may also be submitted at:
utahfieldoffice_esa@fws.gov. Comments
and materials received will be available,
