This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Multifamily
Housing Service Coordinator Program.
OMB Control Number, if applicable:
2502–0447.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
evaluates the grant applications (SF–424
and related documents) for the need and
proposed use of grant funds and owners’
ability to administer awarded funds of
the Multifamily Housing Service
Coordinator Program. HUD staff will use
requests for extensions to evaluate
anticipated program costs and the
continued need for the program. The
semi-annual Performance Reports will
be used to determine how well grant
funds met stated program goals.
Grantees will also be able to retain data
on the effectiveness of the program and
how well the public was served. The
Payment Voucher is used to monitor
grant funds for eligible costs over the
term of the grant, and the granted may
similarly use this voucher to track and
record their requests for payment
reimbursement for grant-funded
expenses.

hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: The number of
respondents is 3,200, the frequency of
responses is quarterly, semi-annually,
and annually, for a total of 17,210 total
annual responses. The estimated time to
prepare collection varies from 15

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Recovery of endangered or threatened
animals or plants is a primary goal of
our endangered species program.
Recovery plans describe actions
considered necessary for the
conservation of the species, establish
criteria for delisting species, and
provide estimates of the time and cost
for implementing the measures needed
for recovery.
The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
requires the development of recovery
plans for listed species, unless such a
plan would not promote the
conservation of a particular species.
Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in
1988, requires that we provide public
notice and opportunity for public
review and comment during recovery
plan development. We announced
availability of our draft recovery plan in
the Federal Register on August 6, 2004
(69 FR 47950) and requested public
comments. The comment period closed
on September 7, 2004. In our
preparation of the approved recovery
plan, we considered information
provided to us during the comment
period, and we have summarized this
information in an appendix to the
recovery plan. A new population of the
species was discovered since the
publication of our draft plan in 2004.
However, the information about this
new population has resulted in only a
slight shift in our recovery strategy for
the species.
Hungerford’s crawling water beetle
was listed as endangered on March 7,
1994 (59 FR 10580). At the time of
listing, this species was known to occur
in only three streams—two in Michigan
and one in Ontario, Canada. Since then,
the species has been discovered in three
additional streams in northern
Michigan. The distribution of this
species prior to its discovery in 1952 is
not known. Currently, only one stream
is known to support a large population
of the species. Hungerford’s crawling
water beetle is an aquatic species that is
found in areas of streams with good
aeration, moderate to fast flow,
inorganic substrate, and alkaline water
conditions, often downstream from
culverts, beaver and natural debris

dams, and human-made impoundments.
Very little information is available on
the life history and habitat requirements
of this species. Threats appear to be
related to habitat alteration and
degradation of water quality, and may
include habitat modification, certain
fish management activities, and human
disturbance. Factors limiting the
species’ distribution are not known. The
small populations and limited
distribution of Hungerford’s crawling
water beetle make it vulnerable to
chance demographic and environmental
events. The recovery plan recommends
research to examine important
components of the species’ biology and
ecology that will contribute to the
recovery program.
The objective of the recovery plan is
to provide a framework for the recovery
of Hungerford’s crawling water beetle so
that protection by the Act is no longer
necessary. We may consider
Hungerford’s crawling water beetle for
reclassification from Endangered to
Threatened status when the likelihood
of the species becoming extinct in the
foreseeable future has been eliminated
by achievement of the following interim
criteria: (1) Life history, ecology,
population biology, and habitat
requirements are understood well
enough to fully evaluate threats; and (2)
a minimum of five U.S. populations, in
at least three different watersheds, have
had stable or increasing populations for
at least 10 years, and at least one
population is considered viable.
We will consider Hungerford’s
crawling water beetle for delisting when
the likelihood of the species becoming
threatened in the foreseeable future has
been eliminated by the achievement of
the following interim criteria: (1)
Habitat necessary for long-term survival
and recovery has been identified and
conserved; and (2) a minimum of five
U.S. populations, in at least three
different watersheds, are sufficiently
secure and adequately managed to
assure long-term viability. The recovery
criteria are interim because further
research is needed to make them fully
measurable. As new information about
the species becomes available, and if
new populations of the species are
discovered, the recovery criteria will be
revised. Additional details on
downlisting and delisting criteria are
available in the recovery plan.
We will meet these criteria through
the following actions: (1) Conserve
known sites; (2) conduct scientific
research to facilitate recovery; (3)
conduct additional surveys and monitor
existing sites; (4) develop and
implement public education and
outreach; (5) revise recovery criteria and
