necessary information in one location
and ensure their claims are completed
sufficiently the first time. The online
system will also increase TSA’s
efficiency in processing claims.
On the Supplemental Information
form, claimants are asked to provide
additional claim information including:
(1) E-mail address, (2) location of
incident within the airport, (3) airport,
(4) complete travel itinerary, (5) whether
baggage was delayed by airline (6) why
they believe TSA was negligent, (7)
whether they used a third-party baggage
service, (8) whether they were traveling
under military orders, and (9) whether
they submitted claims with the airlines
or insurance.
If TSA determines payment is
warranted, TSA sends the claimant a
third form where TSA requests: (1)
Claimant signature, (2) banking
information (routing and accounting
numbers), and (3) Social Security
number (required by the U.S. Treasury
for all Government payments to the
public pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3325).
Under the current system of claims
submitted by mail or fax, TSA estimates
there will be approximately 28,800
respondents on an annual basis, for a
total annual hour burden of 19,200
hours. Once the online system is
operational, TSA estimates that out of
the 28,800 annual respondents,
approximately 70 percent, or 20,160,
will submit claims electronically, for a
total annual hour burden of 5,040 hours;
and that approximately 30 percent, or
8,640, will continue to submit claims by
mail or fax, for a total annual hour
burden of 2,160 hours.
Use of Results
TSA will use all data collected from
claimants to investigate and analyze tort
claims against the agency to determine
alleged TSA liability and to reimburse
claimants when claims are approved. In
some cases, TSA may use the
information to identify victims of theft
or to aid any criminal investigations
into property theft.

information:
Title of Proposal: Evaluating
Outcomes of HUD’s Healthy Homes
Grants.
OMB Control Number: To be assigned.
Need for the Information and
Proposed Use: The Healthy Homes
Initiative, initiated in 1999, encourages
a holistic approach to efficiently
reducing multiple health and safety
hazards in homes, including asthma
triggers such as mold and other
allergens, pests, lead, carbon monoxide
and other indoor contaminants, and
injury hazards. To date, the Department
has awarded 63 grants in the categories
of demonstration, education and
outreach, and technical studies. HUD is
interested in evaluating the outcomes of
these grants to identify and highlight
effective practices and significant
research findings and to assess progress
in achieving HHI program objectives.
HUD will ask grant recipients to
respond to a questionnaire,
administered by telephone, on: (a) The
range of interventions and activities that
have been conducted under
demonstration and education and
outreach grants, the effectiveness of
these actions, and factors that determine
effectiveness; (b) the major research
findings from technical studies and
demonstration grants, and information
on how these findings are being
disseminated and applied; (c) the extent
to which grants have resulted in local
infrastructure being developed to
continue healthy-housing related
activities after completion of the grant;
and (d) results of healthy-housing
activities supported through interagency
agreements with other federal agencies.
To minimize the burden on grantees,
HUD will, where applicable, enter
available information from each
grantee’s quarterly progress reports and
final project report into the
questionnaire responses prior to
administering the questionnaire by
telephone, at which time the
information will be confirmed.
Agency Form Numbers: None.
Members of Affected Public: Managers
of programs funded by grants provided
under the Healthy Homes Initiative.
Total Burden Estimate: Number of
respondents: 2.5 for each of the 63
grantees = 157.5; Frequency of
responses = 1; Hours per response = 4
(including preparation); Burden hours:
total estimate = 630.
Status of the Proposed Information
Collection: New request.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; 5-Year Review of Mt.
Graham Red Squirrel and Little
Colorado Spinedace
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of review.
rmajette on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) announces a 5-year
review of the Mt. Graham red squirrel
(Tamiasciurus hudsonicus grahamensis)
and the Little Colorado spinedace
(Lepidomeda vittata) under 4(c)(2)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973
(Act). The purpose of reviews
conducted under this section of the Act
is to ensure that the classification of
species as threatened or endangered on
the List of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife and Plants (50 CFR 17.12) is
accurate. The 5-year review is an
assessment of the best scientific and
commercial data available at the time of
the review.
DATES: To allow adequate time to
conduct this review, information
submitted for our consideration must be
received on or before April 11, 2006.
However, we will continue to accept
information about any listed species at
any time.
ADDRESSES: Information submitted on
these species should be sent to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service at the
following address. Information received
in response to this notice of review will
be available for public inspection by
appointment, during normal business
hours, at the same addresses.
Information regarding the Mt. Graham
red squirrel and Little Colorado
spinedace should be sent to the Field
Supervisor, Attention 5-year Review,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona
Ecological Services Office, 2321 West
Royal Palm Road, Suite 103, Phoenix,
AZ 85021.

Why Is a 5-Year Review Conducted?
Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the Act (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) requires that we
conduct a review of listed species at
least once every 5 years. We are then,
under section 4(c)(2)(B) and the
provisions of subsections (a) and (b), to
determine, on the basis of such a
review, whether or not any species
should be removed from the List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants (delisted), or reclassified
from endangered to threatened
(downlisted), or from threatened to
endangered (uplisted). The 5-year
review is an assessment of the best
scientific and commercial data available
at the time of the review. Therefore, we
are requesting submission of any new
information (best scientific and
commercial data) on the following
species since their original listings as
either endangered (Mt. Graham red
squirrel) or threatened (Little Colorado
spinedace). If the present classification
of either of these species is not
consistent with the best scientific and
commercial information available, the
Service will recommend whether or not
a change is warranted in the Federal
classification of the species. Any change
in Federal classification would require a
separate final rule-making process.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 424.21
require that we publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing those
species currently under active review.
This notice announces our active review
of the Mt. Graham red squirrel and Little
Colorado spinedace.
What Information Is Considered in the
Review?
A 5-year review considers all new
information available at the time of the
review. These reviews will consider the
best scientific and commercial data that
have become available since the current
listing determination or most recent
status review of each species, such as:
PO 00000

limited to population trends,
distribution, abundance, demographics,
and genetics;
B. Habitat conditions, including but
not limited to amount, distribution, and
suitability;
C. Conservation measures that have
been implemented to benefit the
species;
D. Threat status and trends (see five
factors under heading ‘‘How do we
determine whether a species is
endangered or threatened?’’); and
E. Other new information, data, or
corrections, including but not limited to
taxonomic or nomenclatural changes,
identification of erroneous information
contained in the List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants, and
improved analytical methods.
Specific Information Requested for the
Mt. Graham Red Squirrel
We specifically request information
regarding the species’ life history,
habitat requirements, and distribution.
We also request information on threats,
including predation, competition, and
habitat loss. We further request
information on designated critical
habitat.
Specific Information Requested for the
Little Colorado Spinedace
We specifically request information
regarding the current distribution of
populations and evaluation of the
degree of habitat protection for each
population, and information regarding
management plans and techniques for
improving and maintaining spinedace
habitat. We also are particularly
interested in recent information
regarding conservation measures that
have been implemented to benefit the
species.
How Are the Mt. Graham Red Squirrel
and Little Colorado Spinedace
Currently Listed?
The List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants (List) is
found in 50 CFR 17.11 (wildlife) and
17.12 (plants). Amendments to the List
through final rules are published in the
Federal Register. The List is also
available on our Internet site at https://
endangered.fws.gov/
wildlife.html#Species. In Table 1 below,
we provide a summary of the listing
information for the species under active
review.
