71528
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 200 / Monday, October 17, 2016 / Notices
application for tax-exempt bond
financing for Project D is filed with the
bond-issuing agency on October 30,
2017. Bonds are issued for Project D on
April 30, 2019, but Project D is not
placed in service until January 30, 2020.
Project D is eligible for the increase in
basis available to projects located in
2017 DDAs because: (1) One of the two
events necessary for triggering the
effective date for buildings described in
Section 42(h)(4)(B) of the IRC (the two
events being bonds issued and buildings
placed in service) took place on April
30, 2019, within the 730-day period
after a complete application for taxexempt bond financing was filed, (2) the
application was filed during a time
when the location of Project D was in a
DDA, and (3) both the issuance of the
bonds and placement in service of
Project D occurred after the application
was submitted.
(Case E) Project E is a multiphase
project located in a 2017 DDA that is
NOT a designated DDA or QCT in 2018.
The first phase of Project E received an
allocation of credits in 2017, pursuant to
an application filed March 15, 2017,
which describes the multiphase
composition of the project. An
application for tax credits for the second
phase of Project E is filed with the
allocating agency by the same entity on
March 15, 2018. The second phase of
Project E is located on a contiguous site.
Credits are allocated to the second
phase of Project E on October 30, 2018.
The aggregate amount of credits
allocated to the two phases of Project E
exceeds the amount of credits that may
be allocated to an applicant in one year
under the allocating agency’s QAP and
is the reason that applications were
made in multiple phases. The second
phase of Project E is, therefore, eligible
for the increase in basis accorded a
project in a 2017 DDA, because it meets
all of the conditions to be a part of a
multiphase project.
(Case F) Project F is a multiphase
project located in a 2017 DDA that is
NOT a designated DDA in 2018 or 2019.
The first phase of Project F received an
allocation of credits in 2017, pursuant to
an application filed March 15, 2017,
which does not describe the multiphase
composition of the project. An
application for tax credits for the second
phase of Project F is filed with the
allocating agency by the same entity on
March 15, 2019. Credits are allocated to
the second phase of Project F on
October 30, 2019. The aggregate amount
of credits allocated to the two phases of
Project F exceeds the amount of credits
that may be allocated to an applicant in
one year under the allocating agency’s
QAP. The second phase of Project F is,

therefore, NOT eligible for the increase
in basis accorded a project in a 2017
DDA, since it does not meet all of the
conditions for a multiphase project, as
defined in this notice. The original
application for credits for the first phase
did not describe the multiphase
composition of the project. Also, the
application for credits for the second
phase of Project F was not made in the
year immediately following the first
phase application year.
Findings and Certifications
Environmental Impact
This notice involves the
establishment of fiscal requirements or
procedures that are related to rate and
cost determinations and do not
constitute a development decision
affecting the physical condition of
specific project areas or building sites.
Accordingly, under 40 CFR 1508.4 of
the regulations of the Council on
Environmental Quality and 24 CFR
50.19(c)(6) of HUD’s regulations, this
notice is categorically excluded from
environmental review under the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321).
Federalism Impact
Executive Order 13132 (entitled
‘‘Federalism’’) prohibits an agency from
publishing any policy document that
has federalism implications if the
document either imposes substantial
direct compliance costs on state and
local governments and is not required
by statute, or the document preempts
state law, unless the agency meets the
consultation and funding requirements
of section 6 of the executive order. This
notice merely designates DDAs and
QCTs as required under IRC Section 42,
as amended, for the use by political
subdivisions of the states in allocating
the LIHTC. This notice also details the
technical methods used in making such
designations. As a result, this notice is
not subject to review under the order.
Dated: October 5, 2016.

I. Abstract
This notice is for a new information
collection.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)).
The Secretary’s Indian Water Rights
Office (SIWRO) is tasked with
overseeing and coordinating the Federal
Government’s Indian water rights
settlement program and is undertaking a
study on the economic outcomes
associated with Indian water rights
settlements (IWRS). The purpose of the
study is to identify and track social and
economic changes that occur as a result
E:\FR\FM\17OCN1.SGM
17OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 200 / Monday, October 17, 2016 / Notices
of the implementation of enacted
settlements. The Office of Indian Water
Rights is located within the Secretary’s
Office. The Office leads, coordinates,
and manages the Department’s Indian
water rights settlement program (109
Departmental Manual 1.3.E(2)).
II. Data
(1) Title: Indian Water Rights
Settlements: Economic Analysis.
OMB Control Number: 1093–0NEW.
Type of Review: New Information
Collection.
Affected Entities: State, Local & Tribal
Governments as well as some Private
Sector entities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 48.
Frequency of responses: One time.
(2) Annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden:
Total annual reporting per response:
2.73 hours.
Total number of estimated responses:
48.
Total annual reporting: 131 hours.
(3) Description of the need and use of
the information. Indian reserved water
rights are vested property rights for
which the United States has a trust
responsibility, with the United States
holding legal title to such water in trust
for the benefit of Indian tribes. Federal
policy supports the resolution of
disputes regarding Indian water rights
through negotiated settlements.
Settlement of Indian water rights
disputes breaks down barriers and helps
create conditions that improve water
resources management by providing
certainty as to the rights of all water
users who are parties to the disputes. At
a time of increasing competition for
Federal funds, it is important to
quantify and describe the economic
impacts and net benefits of the
implementation of enacted Indian water
rights settlements.

Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Montana Department of
Natural Resources and Conservation
(State) has filed a petition for
classification and application to obtain
public lands and mineral estate in lieu
of lands to which the State was entitled,
but did not receive under its Statehood

because the lands had previously been
appropriated. Under Section 7 of the
Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) proposes to
classify sufficient acreage of public
lands/minerals in Montana for title
transfer to the State to satisfy this
obligation to the State. Of the area
proposed for State Indemnity Selection,
10,560 acres are designated as greater
sage-grouse General Habitat
Management area.
DATES: Comments must be received by
December 16, 2016.
The BLM will not consider or include
comments received after the close of the
comment period or comments delivered
to an address other than the one listed
below. Persons asserting a claim to or
interest in the lands or mineral estate
described in this notice will find the
requirements for filing such claims in
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
