ACTION: Notice and request for comments. SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has submitted the following information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The submission describes the nature of the information collection, the categories of respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort and resources used by respondents to respond) and cost, and includes the actual data collection instruments FEMA will use. Title: Flood Mitigation Assistance (eGrants) and Grant Supplemental Information. OMB Number: 1660–0072. Abstract: Information sought in this collection will include all of Phase I and 5600.0 8400.0 13440.0 part of Phase II of the electronic, webbased application for Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grants through FEMA’s eGrant system, including all application information and the financial and program performance reports. The eGrants system is being developed to meet the intent of the eGovernment initiative, authorized by Public Law 106–107 passed on November 20, 1999. Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government and Not For Profit Institutions. Number of Respondents: 56. Estimated Time per Respondent: The information collection for FMA through e-Grants in this OMB Approval 1660– 0072 is an optional method to the FEMA Grant Administration Forms, currently approved under OMB Approval Number 1660–0025. We expect the availability of e-Grants to reduce the information collection and reporting burden of Grantees; however, since we have only utilized the e-Grants system for one complete funding cycle, we do not have sufficient data available to demonstrate or document the anticipated reduced burden. We expect further funding cycles, and increased familiarity by applicants on the use of the electronic system, to result in a reduced burden for respondents. FEMA will assess any reduction in burden hours, and consequently reduction in cost, to applicants with additional feedback from the FY2005 application cycle.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric VanderWerf, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, at the above Honolulu address. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Recovery of endangered or threatened animals and plants is a primary goal of the Endangered Species Act (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and our endangered species program. Recovery means improvement of the status of listed species to the point at which listing is no longer required under the criteria set out in section 4(a)(1) of the Act. Recovery plans describe actions PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 considered necessary for the conservation of the species, establish criteria for downlisting or delisting listed species, and estimate time and cost for implementing the measures needed for recovery. The Act requires the development of recovery plans for endangered or threatened species unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of the species. Section 4(f) of the Act requires that public notice, and an opportunity for public review and comment, be provided during recovery plan development. We will consider all information presented during the public comment period on each new or revised recovery plan. Substantive comments may result in changes to a recovery plan. Substantive comments regarding recovery plan implementation may not necessarily result in changes to the recovery plan, but will be forwarded to appropriate Federal agency or other entities so that they can take these comments into account during the course of implementing recovery actions. Individual responses to comments will not be provided. This second draft revised recovery plan addresses four species of Hawaiian waterbirds: The Hawaiian duck or koloa maoli (Anas wyvilliana), Hawaiian coot or ‘alae ke‘oke‘o (Fulica alai), Hawaiian common moorhen or ‘alae ‘ula (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis), and Hawaiian stilt or ae‘o (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), all listed as endangered. A recovery plan for these four waterbirds was first published in 1978, and the first revision of the recovery plan was published in 1985. On July 9, 1999, we published in the Federal Register a notice announcing the availability for comment of a draft of the second revision to the recovery E:\FR\FM\24AUN1.SGM 24AUN1
