Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 238 / Monday, December 12, 2016 / Notices
a voice-mail message in lieu of providing
notice in a local newspaper of general
circulation. I understand that this waiver is
in effect for a period not to exceed 12 months
from the date of HUD approval.
lK. 24 CFR 982.503(C) (HUD APPROVAL OF
EXCEPTION PAYMENT STANDARD AMOUNT).
(Housing Voucher Management and
Operations)
My agency requests to establish an
exception payment standard amount that is
higher than 110 percent of the published fair
market rent (FMR). I have attached our
proposed emergency exception payment
standard schedule, which shows both the
dollar amounts requested and those amounts
as a percentage of the FMRs in effect at the
time of the request. I understand that any
approved exception payment standard will
remain in effect until such time as HUD
revises the FMRs for the area. I also
understand that increased per-family costs
resulting from the use of such exception
payment standard may result in a reduction
in the number of families assisted or may
require my agency to adopt other cost-saving
measures.
lL. 24 CFR 982.401(D) (HOUSING QUALITY
STANDARDS; SPACE AND SECURITY).
(Housing Voucher Management and
Operations)
My agency requests a waiver of 24 CFR
982.401(d) so that we may allow families to
occupy units that are smaller than our
occupancy standards would otherwise
dictate. I understand that this waiver is in
effect only for HAPs entered into during the
12-month period following the date of HUD
approval, and then only with the written
consent of the family.
lM. 24 CFR 982.633(A) (OCCUPANCY OF HOME).
(Housing Voucher Management and
Operations)
My agency requests a waiver of 24 CFR
982.633(a) so that we may continue HAP for
homeownership for families displaced from
their homes if needed to comply with
mortgage terms or make necessary repairs.
We have determined that the family is not
receiving assistance from another source. I
understand that such payments must cease if
the family remains absent from their home
for more than 180 consecutive calendar days.
lN. 24 CFR 984.303(D) (CONTRACT OF
PARTICIPATION; CONTRACT EXTENSION).
(Public Housing Management and
Occupancy; Housing Voucher
Management and Operations)
My agency requests a waiver of 24 CFR
984.303(d) so that a family’s contract of
participation may be extended for up to 3
years. I understand that such extensions may
be made only during the 12-month period
following the date of HUD approval.
lO. 24 CFR 985.101(A) (SECTION 8 MANAGEMENT
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (SEMAP)). (Housing
Voucher Management and Operations)
My agency requests a waiver of 24 CFR
985.101(a) so that our SEMAP score from the
previous year may be carried over. My
agency has a fiscal year end of 9/30/16,
12/31/16, or 3/31/17.
lP. NOTICE PIH 2012–10, SECTION 8(C)
(VERIFICATION OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER (SSN)) (REAC)
My agency requests a waiver of section 8(c)
of Notice PIH 2012–10 to allow for the
submission of Form HUD–50058 90
calendars days from receipt of an applicant’s
or participant’s SSN documentation. I
understand that this waiver will be in effect
for a period not to exceed 12 months from
the date of HUD approval.
lQ. WAIVERS NOT IDENTIFIED IN FR–5987–N–01.
My agency seeks waivers of the HUD
requirements listed below. I have included
documentation justifying the need for the
waivers.

The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Administration Act),
requires us to develop a CCP for each
national wildlife refuge. The purpose in
developing a CCP is to provide refuge
managers with a 15-year strategy for
achieving refuge purposes and
contributing toward the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System
(NWRS), consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, and Service policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation and photography,
and environmental education and
interpretation. We will review and
update the CCP at least every 15 years
in accordance with the Administration
Act.
Each unit of the NWRS was
established for specific purposes. We
use these purposes as the foundation for
developing and prioritizing the
management goals and objectives for
each refuge within the NWRS mission,
and to determine how the public can
use each refuge. The planning process is
a way for us and the public to evaluate
management goals and objectives that
will ensure the best possible approach
to wildlife, plant, and habitat
conservation, while providing for
wildlife-dependent recreation
opportunities that are compatible with
each refuge’s establishing purposes and
the mission of the NWRS.
Additional Information
The final CCP/EA may be found at
https://www.fws.gov/midwest/planning/
glacialridge/. The document
incorporates an EA and FONSI,
prepared in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (43 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The
CCP/EA includes detailed information
about the planning process, refuge,
issues, and management alternatives
considered and proposed. The EA
includes discussions of three alternative
refuge management options. The
Service’s preferred alternative is
reflected in the final CCP.
The selected alternative for Glacial
Ridge NWR includes refuge
management actions that approximate
ecological processes that maintained
native habitats prior to European
