Download as PDF 9350 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 40 / Thursday, March 1, 2007 / Notices consider waiver requests for under this notice. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES A. 24 CFR 902.60(d) (Management Operations and Resident Service and Satisfaction Information) HUD plans to revise the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) along the lines of an asset management model, which will result in different scoring and tracking mechanisms than HUD currently utilizes. While the PHAS is mostly rooted in statute (section 6(j) of the Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437d(j)), there is no statutory requirement that PHAs submit to annual evaluations. Hence, for PHAs that request and show good cause, HUD will waive the requirement to submit a management operations certification, and will also waive the resident satisfaction survey, for a PHA’s final year prior to required conversion to project-based budgeting and accounting (i.e., PHAs with fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007, December 31, 2007, and March 31, 2008). HUD will not waive the independent physical inspection (conducted on all PHAs that score less than 80 on the previous year’s inspection) or the requirement to submit a Financial Data Schedule (FDS). For purposes of scoring, HUD may, on a case-by-case basis, consider several alternatives that provide a PHAS score based on all four indicators, including: (1) Carrying over the PHA’s entire PHAS score from the previous year, or (2) carrying over only the management assessment and resident satisfaction scores and tabulating new physical condition and financial condition scores. B. 24 CFR 902.43 (a)(4) (Annual Inspections) Section 6(f) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 requires PHA annual inspections. Waivers will be considered relating to the conduct of PHA annual inspections in accordance with Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS). A PHA would still be required to conduct annual inspections; however, in accordance with section 6(f), it could perform those inspections in accordance with laws, standards, or state or local codes that the Secretary, upon granting the waiver, determines meet or exceed the UPCS. In requesting a waiver of the UPCS inspection requirement, the PHA must indicate the alternative inspection standards it intends to use and why such alternative standards meet or exceed the UPCS. PHAs are still subject to Real Estate Assessment Center physical inspections using UPCS at the frequency contained in 24 CFR part 902. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:01 Feb 28, 2007 Jkt 211001 C. 24 CFR Part 964 (Tenant Participation) Part 964 establishes various requirements for PHAs pertaining to tenant (resident) participation. HUD will consider requests for waivers relating to such issues as: the role of jurisdiction-wide resident councils (as these are not mandated by law), PHA roles in resident participation activities, requirements concerning resident council membership, election procedures, and uniform bylaws.

The Service has determined that the Applicant’s proposal, including the proposed mitigation and minimization measures, will individually and cumulatively have a minor or negligible effect on the species covered in the HCP.

This preliminary information may be revised based on our review of public comments that we receive in response to this notice. Low-effect HCPs are those involving (1) minor or negligible effects on federally listed or candidate species and their habitats, and (2) minor or negligible effects on other environmental values or resources. The Service will evaluate the HCP and comments submitted thereon to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
