approval of budget receipts and
expenditures by the PHA and HUD. The
supporting schedules and related forms
provide the detail of how the amount
shown on the operating budget were
arrived at, as well as justification of
certain specified amounts. The
information is reviewed by HUD to
determine if the plan of operation
adopted by the PHA and amounts
included therein are reasonable for the
efficient and economical operation of
the development(s), and the PHA is in
compliance with HUD procedures to
assure that sound management practices
will be followed in the operation of the
development. A small number of PHAs
(200) are still required to submit their
operating budget packages to HUD,
namely those that are troubled, those
that are recently out of troubled status
or at risk of becoming troubled, or those
that are at risk of fiscal insolvency.
PHAs are still required to prepare their
operating budgets and submit them to
their Board for approval prior to their
operating subsidy being approved by
HUD. The operating budgets must be
kept on file for review, if requested.
Agency form number, if applicable:
HUD–52564, HUD–52566, HUD–52567,
HUD–52571, HUD–52573, HUD–52574
and HUD–52267.
Members of affected public: PHAs,
state or local government.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents: The estimated number of
respondents is 3,141 IPAs that prepare
and submit to the Board of
Commissioners operating budgets and
supporting schedules and related forms
annually and keep them on file. The
total reporting burden is 377,831 hours.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Extension of an existing
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 (delisted) from the
List of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife and Plants (50 CFR 17.12), 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
25 species since their original listings as
either endangered (golden-cheeked
warbler, Houston toad, Government
Canyon Bat Cave spider, Robber Baron
Cave meshweaver, Government Canyon
Bat Cave meshweaver, Madla’s Cave
meshweaver, Braken Bat Cave
meshweaver, Cokendolpher Cave
harvestman, Helotes mold beetle,
ground beetle (Rhadine exilis), ground
beetle (Rhadine infernalis), Peebles
Navajo cactus, jaguar, desert pupfish,
Sonora tiger salamander, slender rushpea, black lace cactus, Ozark big-eared
bat, Sacramento prickly poppy,
Todsen’s pennyroyal ) or threatened
(Cochise pincushion cactus, siler
pincushion cactus, Apache trout,
leopard darter, Pecos bluntnose shiner).
If the present classification of any 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 that species. Any change in Federal
classification would require a separate
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 25 species listed in Table 1.
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
has become available since the current
listing determination or most recent
status review of each species, such as:
A. Species biology, including but not
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.
How are these species 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://
www.fws.gov/endangered/wildlife.html.

Proposed Low Effect Habitat
Conservation Plan for the County of
San Bernardino, CA
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The County of San
Bernardino (Applicant) has applied to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) for a 10-year incidental take
permit for one covered species pursuant
to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
The application addresses the potential
for ‘‘take’’ of the endangered Delhi
Sands flower-loving fly (Rhaphiomidas
terminatus abdominalis) associated
with the proposed realignment of the
intersection of Valley and Pepper
Avenues in the City of Colton, San

We are requesting comments on the
permit application and on the
preliminary determination that the
proposed Plan qualifies as a ‘‘Loweffect’’ Habitat Conservation Plan,
eligible for a categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, as amended. The basis
for this determination is discussed in
the Environmental Action Statement
(EAS) and the associated Low Effect
Screening Form, which are also
available for public review.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before May 22, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
addressed to the Field Supervisor, Fish
and Wildlife Service, Carlsbad Fish and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 (delisted) from the List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (50 CFR 17.12), 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 25 species since their original
listings as either endangered (golden-cheeked warbler, Houston toad,
Government Canyon Bat Cave spider, Robber Baron Cave meshweaver,
Government Canyon Bat Cave meshweaver, Madla's Cave meshweaver, Braken
Bat Cave meshweaver, Cokendolpher Cave harvestman, Helotes mold beetle,
ground beetle (Rhadine exilis), ground beetle (Rhadine infernalis),
Peebles Navajo cactus, jaguar, desert pupfish, Sonora tiger salamander,
slender rush-pea, black lace cactus, Ozark big-eared bat, Sacramento
prickly poppy, Todsen's pennyroyal ) or threatened (Cochise pincushion
cactus, siler pincushion cactus, Apache trout, leopard darter, Pecos
bluntnose shiner). If the present classification of any 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 that species. Any
change in Federal classification would require a separate 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 25 species
listed in Table 1.
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 has become available since the current listing
determination or most recent status review of each species, such as:
A. Species biology, including but not 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.
How are these species 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://www.fws.gov/

Definitions Related to This Notice
The following definitions are provided to assist those persons who
contemplate submitting information regarding the species being
reviewed:
A. Species includes any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife, or
plant, and any distinct population segment of any species of
vertebrate, which interbreeds when mature.
B. Endangered means any species that is in danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
C. Threatened means any species that is likely to become an
endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range.
How do we determine whether a species is endangered or threatened?
Section 4(a)(1) of the Act establishes that we determine whether a
species is endangered or threatened based on one or more of the five
following factors:
A. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or
curtailment of its habitat or range;
B. Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or
educational purposes;
C. Disease or predation;
D. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or
E. Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued
existence. Section 4(a)(1) of the Act requires that our determination
be made on the basis of the best scientific and commercial data
available.
What could happen as a result of this review?
If we find that there is new information concerning any of the 25
species listed in Table 1 indicating a change in classification may be
warranted, we may propose a new rule that could do one of the
following: (a) Reclassify the species from endangered to threatened
(downlist); (b) reclassify the species from threatened to endangered
(uplist); or (c) remove the species from the List. If we determine that
a change in classification is not warranted, then these species will
remain on the List under their current status.
Public Solicitation of New Information
We request any new information concerning the status of the 25
species listed in Table 1. See ``What information is considered in the
review?'' heading for specific criteria. Information submitted should
be supported by documentation such as maps, bibliographic references,
methods used to gather and analyze the data, and/or copies of any
pertinent publications, reports, or letters by knowledgeable sources.
Our practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses of
respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may
request that we withhold their home addresses from the supporting
record, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. There also
may be circumstances in which we may withhold from the supporting
record a respondent's identity, as allowable by law. If you wish us to
withhold your name and/or address, you must state this prominently at
the beginning of your comment. We will not consider anonymous comments,
however. We will make all submissions from organizations or businesses,
and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or
officials of organizations or businesses, available for public
inspection in their entirety.
