SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Division B of the Department of
Defense, Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations to Address Hurricanes
in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic
Influenza Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109–148;
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:47 Jul 27, 2006
Jkt 208001
approved December 30, 2005), among
other things, makes emergency
supplemental appropriations to address
the hurricane devastation around the
Gulf Coast. Section 901 of this
supplemental appropriations act
permits eligible PHAs to combine their
Capital Funds (section 9(d) of the
United States Housing Act of 1937 (42
U.S.C. 1437 et seq.) (1937 Act)),
Operating Funds (section 9(e) of the
1937 Act), and Housing Choice Voucher
Funds (HCV) (section 8(o) of the 1937
Act) to assist families who were
displaced by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita.
The full text of Section 901 is as
follows:
SEC. 901. Notwithstanding provisions of
the United States Housing Act of 1937
(Public Law 93–383), in order to assist public
housing agencies located within the most
heavily impacted areas of Louisiana and
Mississippi that are subject to a declaration
by the President of a major disaster under the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et
seq.) in connection with Hurricane Katrina or
Rita, the Secretary for Calendar Year 2006
may authorize a public housing agency to
combine assistance provided under sections
9(d) and (e) of the United States Housing Act
of 1937 and assistance provided under
section 8(o) of such Act, for the purpose of
facilitating the prompt, flexible and efficient
use of funds provided under these sections
of the Act to assist families who were
receiving housing assistance under the Act
immediately prior to Hurricane Katrina or
Rita and were displaced from their housing
by the hurricanes.
II. Eligibility
PHAs that are eligible are those in the
most heavily impacted areas of
Louisiana and Mississippi that are
subject to declaration by the President
of a major disaster under the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.)
in connection with Hurricanes Katrina
or Rita. Please refer to section X of this
Notice, which lists all eligible agencies.
This list was created based on the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency’s (FEMA) disaster designations
for counties eligible to receive both
Individual and Public Assistance.
III. Eligible Funds for Inclusion
Eligible PHAs may combine public
housing Capital Funds (including
Replacement Housing Factor (RHF)
grants), Operating Funds, and HCV
funds received during Calendar Year
2006 and eligible prior years funds that
are not yet obligated or expended in the
program for which they were intended.
With regard to HCV funding, the
maximum amount of voucher funding a
PHA may consider for use in the public
housing program will be determined by
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
HUD based on Calendar Year 2005 and
2006 voucher funding that is not needed
for the regular voucher program through
December 31, 2006 (e.g., excluding
amounts such as those needed for postKatrina/Rita tenant protection vouchers,
new post Hurricanes Katrina/Rita
voucher program admissions, and
current portability billings). For PHAs,
HUD will establish separate funding
maximums for housing assistance
payments and administrative fee
transfers. Additional Disaster Voucher
Program (DVP) supplemental guidance
will include more information on
determining the maximum amount of
voucher funding a PHA may consider
for use in the public housing program as
part of a separate PIH Notice concerning
Voucher Program Fungibility Issues
Associated with Combining Voucher
and Public Housing Funding During
Calendar Year 2006.
Neither DVP assistance nor capital
funds provided from the Set-Aside for
Emergencies and Natural Disasters may
be combined with other capital,
operating, and HCV funds pursuant to
this Notice.
IV. Permitted Activities
The flexibility provided under this
section permits a PHA to combine the
funding assistance, as indicated in III.,
Eligible Funds for Inclusion, for any use
eligible under the programs to assist
families who were receiving housing
assistance under the Act immediately
prior to Hurricane Katrina or Rita and
were displaced from their housing by
the hurricanes. PHAs may obligate the
combined funds only for uses under the
Operating Fund or Capital Fund. None
of the combined funds may be spent for
uses under the HCV program. For
example, an eligible PHA using this
flexibility may redirect its Operating
Subsidy or HCV funding to construct
replacement public housing units as
permitted under section 9(d) so that
families may return to the community.
A PHA may reallocate funds only in
order to carry out programs for which it
had authority to administer prior to the
hurricanes. The flexibility provided
under Section 901 may be utilized in
combination with any regulatory and
administrative waivers granted by HUD
in conjunction with Notices published
in the Federal Register on October 3,
2005 (70 FR 57716), and November 1,
2005 (70 FR 66222), as applicable.
V. General Procedures for Combining
Public Housing and Voucher Funds
Under Section 901
In Calendar Year 2006, the Secretary
is authorizing the PHAs listed at the end
of this Notice to combine assistance
E:\FR\FM\28JYN2.SGM
28JYN2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 145 / Friday, July 28, 2006 / Notices
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
under Section 901. The following sets
forth the procedures to be followed by
PHAs.
A. Submission of a Notice of Intent and
Fungibility Plan
PHAs interested in implementing this
flexibility should submit in writing for
HUD review and approval, no later than
45 days from the date of this Notice: (1)
A Notice of Intent to invoke this
flexibility and (2) a detailed Section 901
Fungibility Plan describing the total
amount under Section 901, and the
source of those funds by account (HCV,
Operating Fund, Capital Fund). PHAs
should submit one copy to the Public
Housing Director of the HUD office in
New Orleans, Louisiana, or Jackson,
Mississippi, as applicable, and the
original to HUD Headquarters, Office of
Public and Indian Housing, Office of
Policy, Program, and Legislative
Initiatives, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,
Room 4116, Washington, DC 20410–
5000, Attention: Bessy Kong/Sherry
McCown. The Notification of Intent and
Fungibility Plan must include the
following:
1. A resolution from the PHA Board
of Commissioners certifying that the
flexibility will be used to facilitate
‘‘prompt, flexible, and efficient use of
these funds to assist families who were
receiving housing assistance
immediately prior to Hurricanes Katrina
or Rita and were displaced from their
housing by the hurricanes.’’
2. Identification of the name of the
program from which funds will be
provided for purposes of fungibility
(source of funds).
3. Identification of the name of the
program(s) with which funds are being
combined (use of funds).
4. Identification of the exact dollar
amount of funds, by program source, to
be provided for fungibility purposes,
including the grant number(s) and grant
year(s) (grant numbers not applicable to
vouchers).
5. A detailed description of the
proposed use of the combined funds,
e.g., the number of units to be
renovated, repaired, acquired, or built,
and the types of administrative
functions to be undertaken.
6. For combined funds for Capital
Fund activities, the Capital Fund
Program Annual Statement/Performance
and Evaluation Report, Parts I–III (part
of form HUD–50075–SA).
HUD shall review and notify the PHA,
in writing, of its determination to
accept, reject, or comment on the Plan
within 45 calendar days of receipt. If the
Plan does not provide sufficient
information, HUD reserves the right to
reject such a Plan and require a
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:47 Jul 27, 2006
Jkt 208001
resubmission within 15 calendar days,
to which HUD will respond within 10
calendar days. HUD must officially
approve all Plans, including those that
must be resubmitted, no later than
December 31, 2006. PHAs must submit
to HUD requests for approval of any
substantial deviations from the
approved Fungibility Plan. HUD will
respond to such requests within 10
calendar days.
B. Reporting Requirements for
Activities and Use of Funds Provided
for Fungibility Under Section 901
1. General. In general, PHAs must
report the details on the use of these
combined funds through normal
reporting procedures. Supplemental
guidance, as needed, will be posted on
HUD’s Web site at https://www.hud.gov/
offices/pih/.
2. Annual Report. PHAs with an
approved Notice of Intent and
Fungibility Plan must provide annual
progress reports to their HUD field
office. They should address: (1) The
amount of funds, by source program,
being combined under Section 901
fungibility, (2) the proposed uses of
those combined funds, (3) the amount of
funds obligated during the year from
each source, (4) the cumulative total
amount of funds obligated, (5) the total
amount of funds expended during the
year from each source, and (6) the
cumulative total amount of funds
expended. The annual reports must
cover the 12-month period ending
September 30 and are due at the field
office within 45 calendar days.
3. Final Report. A final report is due
at the end of the fungibility period,
which is the earlier of either the
expenditure deadline or when the PHA
has expended all funds. PHAs that
combined funds under Section 901 shall
submit to their local HUD field office a
summary report of how funds were
combined, the original Notice of Intent
and planned activities, and actual
activities and results.
4. Financial Data Schedule Reporting.
PHAs shall report all program funding
combined under Section 901 on the
Financial Data Schedule (FDS). PHAs
approved to combine funds as
authorized by Section 901 must
continue to report on the FDS the
original program funds in each program
(Public Housing Capital Fund Program,
Public Housing Operating Fund
Program, or Housing Choice Voucher
Program). Any original program funds
(from one or more of the above
programs) used under Section 901 to
assist families displaced by Hurricanes
Katrina or Rita should then be entered
into a new column on the FDS entitled
‘‘Other Federal Activity—Section 901.’’
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
42997
The PHA should use FDS Line 1001 to
record the sources of funds being added
for ‘‘Other Federal Activity—Section
901,’’ and FDS Line 1002 to record the
same sources of funds being subtracted
from the originally intended program
(Capital Funds, Low Rent Public
Housing (LRPH), or HCV columns). If
the funds to be combined under Section
901 were appropriated in 2005 or
earlier, then the transaction should be
reported as an ‘‘Equity Transfer’’ on
Line 1104 of the current FDS. Further,
an explanation of this fungibility is
required to be made by the PHA in the
‘‘Comments Link’’ in both its unaudited
and audited financial submissions. This
will help ensure that all users and
readers of the financial data are aware
that the PHA participated in this
funding flexibility.
To add the ‘‘Other Federal Activity—
Section 901’’ column on the FDS, click the
PHA Info Link, click the Program Selection
Tab, click the Add a Program Link, and then
select Other Federal Activity—Section 901.
Once the funds have been recorded in the
‘‘Other Federal Activity—Section 901’’
column, all activity related to the funding
flexibility must be accounted for and
reported in this new column on the financial
data schedule.
VI. Timely Use of Funds
For the Housing Choice Voucher or
Operating funds that a PHA combines
and uses for Capital Fund purposes,
these funds must be expended within 5
years from the date of HUD’s approval
of the Section 901 Fungibility Plan, or
as authorized by the Assistant Secretary
for Public and Indian Housing. Housing
Choice Voucher funds or Capital funds
that a PHA uses for Operating Fund
purposes or activities must be expended
within one year from the date of HUD’s
approval. If the combined funds are not
expended according to these time
frames, the PHA loses the flexibility
provided under this Notice and the
funds revert back to original program
uses, including applicable funding
terms. For example, if a PHA combines
voucher funds with Capital Funds for
public housing reconstruction purposes,
and if the voucher funds are not
expended for those purposes after 5
years, they revert back to vouchers.
VII. For Further Information Contact
For technical assistance and other
questions concerning the Notice of
Intent and/or Section 901 Fungibility
Plan, PHAs should contact their local
HUD Public Housing Hub in New
Orleans, Louisiana, or Jackson,
Mississippi; Bessy Kong, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Policy, Program,

Implementation Guidance for Section 901 of the Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of
Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This Notice provides guidance to HUD field offices and PHAs
located within the most heavily impacted areas of Louisiana and
Mississippi that are subject to a declaration by the President of a
major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act in connection with Hurricanes Katrina or Rita
on how to implement Section 901 of the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and
Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006 (Section 901). This supplemental
appropriations act authorizes public housing agencies (PHAs) to combine
assistance provided under sections 9(d) and (e) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (Act) and assistance provided under section 8(o) of
the Act, for the purpose of facilitating the prompt, flexible, and
efficient use of funds provided under these sections of the Act to
assist families who were receiving housing assistance under the Act
immediately prior to Hurricane Katrina or Rita and were displaced from
their housing by the hurricanes.
DATES: Effective date: July 28, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bessy M. Kong, Deputy Assistant
Secretary, Office of Policy, Program, and Legislative Initiatives,
Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 4116, Washington, DC 20410-
5000, telephone (202) 708-0614 or 708-0713, extension 2548 (this is not
a toll-free number). Persons with hearing or speech impairments may
access this number via TTY by calling the toll-free Federal Information
Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Division B of the Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and
Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006 (Pub. L. 109-148; approved December 30,
2005), among other things, makes emergency supplemental appropriations
to address the hurricane devastation around the Gulf Coast. Section 901
of this supplemental appropriations act permits eligible PHAs to
combine their Capital Funds (section 9(d) of the United States Housing
Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.) (1937 Act)), Operating Funds
(section 9(e) of the 1937 Act), and Housing Choice Voucher Funds (HCV)
(section 8(o) of the 1937 Act) to assist families who were displaced by
Hurricanes Katrina or Rita. The full text of Section 901 is as follows:
SEC. 901. Notwithstanding provisions of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (Public Law 93-383), in order to assist public
housing agencies located within the most heavily impacted areas of
Louisiana and Mississippi that are subject to a declaration by the
President of a major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) in
connection with Hurricane Katrina or Rita, the Secretary for
Calendar Year 2006 may authorize a public housing agency to combine
assistance provided under sections 9(d) and (e) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 and assistance provided under section 8(o) of
such Act, for the purpose of facilitating the prompt, flexible and
efficient use of funds provided under these sections of the Act to
assist families who were receiving housing assistance under the Act
immediately prior to Hurricane Katrina or Rita and were displaced
from their housing by the hurricanes.
II. Eligibility
PHAs that are eligible are those in the most heavily impacted areas
of Louisiana and Mississippi that are subject to declaration by the
President of a major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) in
connection with Hurricanes Katrina or Rita. Please refer to section X
of this Notice, which lists all eligible agencies. This list was
created based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA)
disaster designations for counties eligible to receive both Individual
and Public Assistance.
III. Eligible Funds for Inclusion
Eligible PHAs may combine public housing Capital Funds (including
Replacement Housing Factor (RHF) grants), Operating Funds, and HCV
funds received during Calendar Year 2006 and eligible prior years funds
that are not yet obligated or expended in the program for which they
were intended.
With regard to HCV funding, the maximum amount of voucher funding a
PHA may consider for use in the public housing program will be
determined by HUD based on Calendar Year 2005 and 2006 voucher funding
that is not needed for the regular voucher program through December 31,
2006 (e.g., excluding amounts such as those needed for post-Katrina/
Rita tenant protection vouchers, new post Hurricanes Katrina/Rita
voucher program admissions, and current portability billings). For
PHAs, HUD will establish separate funding maximums for housing
assistance payments and administrative fee transfers. Additional
Disaster Voucher Program (DVP) supplemental guidance will include more
information on determining the maximum amount of voucher funding a PHA
may consider for use in the public housing program as part of a
separate PIH Notice concerning Voucher Program Fungibility Issues
Associated with Combining Voucher and Public Housing Funding During
Calendar Year 2006.
Neither DVP assistance nor capital funds provided from the Set-
Aside for Emergencies and Natural Disasters may be combined with other
capital, operating, and HCV funds pursuant to this Notice.
IV. Permitted Activities
The flexibility provided under this section permits a PHA to
combine the funding assistance, as indicated in III., Eligible Funds
for Inclusion, for any use eligible under the programs to assist
families who were receiving housing assistance under the Act
immediately prior to Hurricane Katrina or Rita and were displaced from
their housing by the hurricanes. PHAs may obligate the combined funds
only for uses under the Operating Fund or Capital Fund. None of the
combined funds may be spent for uses under the HCV program. For
example, an eligible PHA using this flexibility may redirect its
Operating Subsidy or HCV funding to construct replacement public
housing units as permitted under section 9(d) so that families may
return to the community.
A PHA may reallocate funds only in order to carry out programs for
which it had authority to administer prior to the hurricanes. The
flexibility provided under Section 901 may be utilized in combination
with any regulatory and administrative waivers granted by HUD in
conjunction with Notices published in the Federal Register on October
3, 2005 (70 FR 57716), and November 1, 2005 (70 FR 66222), as
applicable.
V. General Procedures for Combining Public Housing and Voucher Funds
Under Section 901
In Calendar Year 2006, the Secretary is authorizing the PHAs listed
at the end of this Notice to combine assistance
[[Page 42997]]
under Section 901. The following sets forth the procedures to be
followed by PHAs.
A. Submission of a Notice of Intent and Fungibility Plan
PHAs interested in implementing this flexibility should submit in
writing for HUD review and approval, no later than 45 days from the
date of this Notice: (1) A Notice of Intent to invoke this flexibility
and (2) a detailed Section 901 Fungibility Plan describing the total
amount under Section 901, and the source of those funds by account
(HCV, Operating Fund, Capital Fund). PHAs should submit one copy to the
Public Housing Director of the HUD office in New Orleans, Louisiana, or
Jackson, Mississippi, as applicable, and the original to HUD
Headquarters, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Office of Policy,
Program, and Legislative Initiatives, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room
4116, Washington, DC 20410-5000, Attention: Bessy Kong/Sherry McCown.
The Notification of Intent and Fungibility Plan must include the
following:
1. A resolution from the PHA Board of Commissioners certifying that
the flexibility will be used to facilitate ``prompt, flexible, and
efficient use of these funds to assist families who were receiving
housing assistance immediately prior to Hurricanes Katrina or Rita and
were displaced from their housing by the hurricanes.''
2. Identification of the name of the program from which funds will
be provided for purposes of fungibility (source of funds).
3. Identification of the name of the program(s) with which funds
are being combined (use of funds).
4. Identification of the exact dollar amount of funds, by program
source, to be provided for fungibility purposes, including the grant
number(s) and grant year(s) (grant numbers not applicable to vouchers).
5. A detailed description of the proposed use of the combined
funds, e.g., the number of units to be renovated, repaired, acquired,
or built, and the types of administrative functions to be undertaken.
6. For combined funds for Capital Fund activities, the Capital Fund
Program Annual Statement/Performance and Evaluation Report, Parts I-III
(part of form HUD-50075-SA).
HUD shall review and notify the PHA, in writing, of its
determination to accept, reject, or comment on the Plan within 45
calendar days of receipt. If the Plan does not provide sufficient
information, HUD reserves the right to reject such a Plan and require a
resubmission within 15 calendar days, to which HUD will respond within
10 calendar days. HUD must officially approve all Plans, including
those that must be resubmitted, no later than December 31, 2006. PHAs
must submit to HUD requests for approval of any substantial deviations
from the approved Fungibility Plan. HUD will respond to such requests
within 10 calendar days.
B. Reporting Requirements for Activities and Use of Funds Provided
for Fungibility Under Section 901
1. General. In general, PHAs must report the details on the use of
these combined funds through normal reporting procedures. Supplemental
guidance, as needed, will be posted on HUD's Web site at https://
www.hud.gov/offices/pih/.
2. Annual Report. PHAs with an approved Notice of Intent and
Fungibility Plan must provide annual progress reports to their HUD
field office. They should address: (1) The amount of funds, by source
program, being combined under Section 901 fungibility, (2) the proposed
uses of those combined funds, (3) the amount of funds obligated during
the year from each source, (4) the cumulative total amount of funds
obligated, (5) the total amount of funds expended during the year from
each source, and (6) the cumulative total amount of funds expended. The
annual reports must cover the 12-month period ending September 30 and
are due at the field office within 45 calendar days.
3. Final Report. A final report is due at the end of the
fungibility period, which is the earlier of either the expenditure
deadline or when the PHA has expended all funds. PHAs that combined
funds under Section 901 shall submit to their local HUD field office a
summary report of how funds were combined, the original Notice of
Intent and planned activities, and actual activities and results.
4. Financial Data Schedule Reporting. PHAs shall report all program
funding combined under Section 901 on the Financial Data Schedule
(FDS). PHAs approved to combine funds as authorized by Section 901 must
continue to report on the FDS the original program funds in each
program (Public Housing Capital Fund Program, Public Housing Operating
Fund Program, or Housing Choice Voucher Program). Any original program
funds (from one or more of the above programs) used under Section 901
to assist families displaced by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita should then
be entered into a new column on the FDS entitled ``Other Federal
Activity--Section 901.'' The PHA should use FDS Line 1001 to record the
sources of funds being added for ``Other Federal Activity--Section
901,'' and FDS Line 1002 to record the same sources of funds being
subtracted from the originally intended program (Capital Funds, Low
Rent Public Housing (LRPH), or HCV columns). If the funds to be
combined under Section 901 were appropriated in 2005 or earlier, then
the transaction should be reported as an ``Equity Transfer'' on Line
1104 of the current FDS. Further, an explanation of this fungibility is
required to be made by the PHA in the ``Comments Link'' in both its
unaudited and audited financial submissions. This will help ensure that
all users and readers of the financial data are aware that the PHA
participated in this funding flexibility.
To add the ``Other Federal Activity--Section 901'' column on the
FDS, click the PHA Info Link, click the Program Selection Tab, click
the Add a Program Link, and then select Other Federal Activity--
Section 901. Once the funds have been recorded in the ``Other
Federal Activity--Section 901'' column, all activity related to the
funding flexibility must be accounted for and reported in this new
column on the financial data schedule.
VI. Timely Use of Funds
For the Housing Choice Voucher or Operating funds that a PHA
combines and uses for Capital Fund purposes, these funds must be
expended within 5 years from the date of HUD's approval of the Section
901 Fungibility Plan, or as authorized by the Assistant Secretary for
Public and Indian Housing. Housing Choice Voucher funds or Capital
funds that a PHA uses for Operating Fund purposes or activities must be
expended within one year from the date of HUD's approval. If the
combined funds are not expended according to these time frames, the PHA
loses the flexibility provided under this Notice and the funds revert
back to original program uses, including applicable funding terms. For
example, if a PHA combines voucher funds with Capital Funds for public
housing reconstruction purposes, and if the voucher funds are not
expended for those purposes after 5 years, they revert back to
vouchers.
VII. For Further Information Contact
For technical assistance and other questions concerning the Notice
of Intent and/or Section 901 Fungibility Plan, PHAs should contact
their local HUD Public Housing Hub in New Orleans, Louisiana, or
Jackson, Mississippi; Bessy Kong, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Policy, Program, and Legislative Initiatives at (202) 708-0713,
extension 2548; or Deborah
[[Page 42998]]
Hernandez, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Field Operations, at
(202) 708-4016.
VIII. Finding of No Significant Impact
A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to the
environment has been made in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR
part 50, which implement section 102(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332). The FONSI is
available for public inspection between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays in
the Office of General Counsel, Regulations Division, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 10276,
Washington, DC 20410-0500. Due to security measures at the HUD
Headquarters building, please schedule an advance appointment to review
the FONSI by calling the Regulations Division at (202) 708-3055 (this
is not a toll-free telephone number). Hearing- and speech-impaired
persons may access the telephone numbers listed above via TTY by
calling the Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.
IX. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Office of Management and Budget has approved the information
collection requirements contained in this Notice in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and assigned OMB
control number 2577-0245. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless the collection displays a valid control number.
