Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: FHA
insurance is an important source of
mortgage credit for low and moderateincome borrowers and their
neighborhoods. It is essential that FHA
maintain a healthy mortgage insurance
fund through premiums charged the
borrower by FHA along with Federal
budget receipts generated from those
premiums to support HUD’s goals.
Providing policy and guidance to the
single family housing mortgage industry
regarding changes in FHA’s program is
essential to protect the fund. The OMB
information requests referred to below
provide HUD’s policy and guidance.
This information collection request for
OMB review seeks to combine the
requirements of three existing OMB
collections under this collection. The
OMB collections are as follows; OMB
collections 2502–0268 ‘‘Request for
Occupied Conveyance’’, 2502–0349
‘‘Certified Eligibility for Adjustments for

Incidental Take Permit for the Regency
Centers Project in the City of Highland,
San Bernardino County, CA
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability and
receipt of application.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Regency Centers (Applicant)
has applied to the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) for an incidental take
permit pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of
the Endangered Species Act (Act) of
1973, as amended. The Service is
considering issuing a 3-year permit to
the Applicant that would authorize take
of the federally endangered San
Bernardino kangaroo rat (Dipodomys
Merriami parvus; ‘‘SBKR’’). The
proposed permit would authorize the
take of an individual SBKR. The
Applicant needs the permit because take
of SBKR could occur during the
proposed construction of a commercial
development on an 8.4-acre site in the
City of Highland, San Bernardino
County, California. The permit
application includes the proposed
Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan), which
describes the proposed action and the
measures that the Applicant would
undertake to minimize and mitigate take
of the SBKR.
DATES: Submit written comments on or
before September 12, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
Mr. Jim Bartel, Field Supervisor, Fish
and Wildlife Service, 6010 Hidden

Availability of Documents
You may obtain copies of these
documents for review by contacting the
above office. Documents also will be
available for public inspection, by
appointment, during normal business
hours at the above address and at the
San Bernardino County Libraries.
Addresses for the San Bernardino
County Libraries are: (1) 27167 Base

Barton Rd, Loma Linda, CA 92354; (3)
1870 Mentone Boulevard, Mentone, CA
92359; and (4) 104 West Fourth Street,
San Bernardino, CA 92415.
Background
Section 9 of the Act and Federal
regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish
and wildlife species listed as
endangered or threatened. Take of
federally listed fish and wildlife is
defined under the Act to include
‘‘harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,
wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or
to attempt to engage in any such
conduct.’’ The Service may, under
limited circumstances, issue permits to
authorize incidental take (i.e., take that
is incidental to, and not the purpose of,
the carrying out of an otherwise lawful
activity). Regulations governing
incidental take permits for threatened
and endangered species are found in 50
CFR 17.32 and 17.22.
The Applicant is proposing
development of commercial facilities on
an 8.4-acre site. The site is located
southeast of the intersection of State
Route 30 and Fifth Street (State Route
330) in the City of Highland, San
Bernardino County, California. The
proposed project site is bordered on the
west by vacant land that has been
permitted for construction of
commercial facilities, on the north by
5th Street, on the east by vacant land
and a public storage facility, and on the
south by a berm separating the site from
the Plunge Creek flood control basins,
aggregate operations, and the Santa Ana
Wash.
Based on focused surveys and habitat
assessments, 4.5 acres of the site are
considered occupied by the SBKR. The
Service has determined that the
proposed development would result in
incidental take of the SBKR. No other
federally listed species are known to
occupy the site.
To mitigate take of SBKR on the
project site, the Applicant has
purchased credits towards conservation

bank collects fees that fund a

of sensitive species and habitats,
including the SBKR.

BILLING CODE 4310–55–P
National Environmental Policy Act
Proposed permit issuance triggers the
need for compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Accordingly, a draft NEPA document
has been prepared. The Service is the
Lead Agency responsible for compliance
under NEPA. As NEPA lead agency, the
Service is providing notice of the
availability and is making available for
public review the Environmental
Assessment.
The Service’s Environmental
Assessment considers the
environmental consequences of three
alternatives, including: (1) The
Proposed Project Alternative, which
consists of issuance of the incidental
take permit and implementation of the
Plan; (2) the Alternate Site Layout
Alternative, which consists of a reduced
project footprint and conservation of
SBKR within the proposed project site;
and (3) the No Action Alternative,
which would result in no impacts to
SBKR and no conservation.
Public Review
The Service invites the public to
review the Plan and Environmental
Assessment during a 60-day public
comment period (see DATES). Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(a) of the Act and the
regulations for implementing NEPA, as
amended (40 CFR 1506.6). We will
evaluate the application, associated
documents, and comments submitted
thereon to determine whether the
application meets the requirements of
NEPA regulations and section 10(a) of
the Act. If we determine that those
requirements are met, we will issue a
permit to the Applicant for the
incidental take of the SBKR. We will
make our final permit decision no
