100-point scale; however, the 40 Need
points previously allocated to projects
will be redistributed into the existing
point structure. The exact redistribution
of points will be announced in the
FY2008 CoC NOFA. Need will continue
to be accounted for through the formula
that determines Preliminary Pro Rata
Need or the Hold Harmless Need
amounts for the CoC.
5. As directed by Congress in the
FY2008 HUD Appropriation
(Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008,
H.R. 2764), HUD will implement a
Rapid Re-Housing for Families
Demonstration Program through the
FY2008 CoC NOFA. This demonstration
program will serve homeless
households with dependent children.
6. Safe Havens (SH) will no longer be
given Transitional Housing (TH) or
Permanent Housing (PH) classifications
and grantees will have an opportunity
through the FY2008 CoC NOFA to
change the classification of their project
without a grant amendment. Under the
newly defined Safe Haven SHP program
type, any chronically homeless person
entering a Safe Haven will maintain his/
her status as chronically homeless and
will therefore be eligible to enter a
funded Samaritan Housing Initiative
project.
7. HUD is aware that there has been
some confusion over Shelter Plus Care
(S+C) and new SRO grant amounts and
is reminding grantees and applicants
that S+C and new SRO grants may not
exceed 100 percent of the Fair Market
Rent (FMR) for the Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA) and unit size.
8. CoCs that are in ‘‘Hold Harmless
Need Status’’ may now use the
reallocation process to create new
dedicated HMIS projects.
9. HUD will allow only one applicant
for HMIS dedicated grants within a CoC.
10. HMIS funds contained in the
Training and Technical Assistance line
item of the HMIS budget may be used
for travel, hotel, and per diem costs
associated with the provision of
technical assistance and training
sessions by local HMIS staff; attendance
at training sessions provided by local
HMIS staff and/or outside trainers;
attendance at HUD-sponsored HMIS
training sessions or symposiums;
attendance at HMIS vendor-sponsored
user meetings; and attendance at other
HMIS-related events as qualified and
pre-approved by HUD Headquarters.
Applicants may be asked to identify the
number and type of HMIS training
sessions for which they are requesting
SHP funds during the technical
submission process. Payments will be
limited to the reasonableness of travel
expenses as listed in 24 CFR Parts 84
and 85.
Dated: April 25, 2008.

The American peregrine falcon was
removed from the List of Endangered
and Threatened Wildlife on August 25,
1999. Section 4(g) of the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) requires that all
species that are recovered and removed

rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 84 / Wednesday, April 30, 2008 / Notices
from the List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife (delisted) be
monitored in cooperation with the
States for a period of not less than 5
years. The purpose of this requirement
is to detect any failure of a recovered
species to sustain itself without the
protections of the ESA. We work with
relevant State agencies and other
species experts to develop appropriate
plans and procedures for systematically
monitoring recovered wildlife and
plants.
The American peregrine falcon has a
large geographic distribution that
includes a substantial amount of nonFederal land. Although the ESA requires
that monitoring of recovered species be
conducted for not less than 5 years, the
life history of American peregrine
falcons is such that it is appropriate to
monitor this species for a longer period
of time in order to meaningfully
evaluate whether or not the recovered
species continues to maintain its
recovered status. The Monitoring Plan
for the American Peregrine Falcon is
available on our website at https://
www.fws.gov/endangered/pdfs/
peregrin/Peregrineplan2003.pdf .
Formal collection of monitoring data
commenced in 2003. Rangewide
population monitoring of American
peregrine falcons under the Monitoring
Plan will take place every 3 years
through 2015.
We will use the information supplied
on the FWS Forms 3–2307, 3–2308, and
3–2309 to review the status of the
American peregrine falcon in the United
States and determine if it remains
recovered and, therefore, does not
require the protections of the ESA:
(1) FWS Form 3–2307 (Peregrine
Falcon Monitoring Form) addresses the
reporting requirements to record
observations on the nesting pair, and the
numbers of eggs and young during each
nest visit. Each nest will be visited two
(or more) times.
(2) FWS Form 3–2308 (Peregrine
Falcon Egg Contaminants Data Sheet)
addresses the reporting requirements to
record data on eggs collected
opportunistically during a nest visit.
(3) FWS Form 3–2309 (Peregrine
Falcon Feather Contaminants Data
Sheet) addresses the reporting
requirements to record data on feathers
collected opportunistically during a nest
visit. Once collected, the eggs and
feathers will be archived in a deep
freeze for analysis at a later time.
Comments: On February 25, 2008, we
published in the Federal Register (73 FR
10048) a notice of our intent to request
that OMB renew this collection of
information. We solicited comments for
60 days, ending on April 25, 2008. We

response to this notice.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
(1) whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
(3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
