Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 247 / Tuesday, December 23, 2008 / Notices
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information should address one or more
of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
New information collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Obligor Change of Address.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security
sponsoring the collection: Form I–333.
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement.

abstract: Primary: Individuals or
Households. The information collected
on the Form I–333 is necessary for U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) to provide immigration bond
obligors a standardized method to notify
ICE of address updates. Upon receipt of
the formatted information records will
then be updated to ensure accurate
service of correspondence between ICE
and the obligor.

Study of Capital Needs in the Public
Housing Program
AGENCY: Office of the Chief Information
Officer, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The proposed information
collection requirement described below
has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act. The Department is
soliciting public comments on the
subject proposal.
Survey a statistically significant
sample of housing authorities and a set
of public housing developments,
buildings and units, using instruments
that include systems inspection coding
and information, costs, and
modernization and conversion actions.
Using these instruments, the study will
generate estimates in constant dollars of
existing and accrued total and per-unit
capital needs at the national level and
for important subcategories such as HA
size (measured by number of ACC units)
and region. The sample and data
instruments shall enable statistically
significant comparison with results from
the 1998 capital needs study. The Study
responds to a Congressional mandate.
DATES: Comments Due Date: January 22,
2008.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit comments regarding
this proposal. Comments should refer to
the proposal by name and/or OMB

Approved Recovery Plan for the
Copperbelly Water Snake Northern
Distinct Population Segment
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of document availability.
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
availability of the approved recovery
plan for the copperbelly water snake
(Nerodia erythrogaster neglecta)
northern distinct population segment
(DPS). The threatened copperbelly water
snake northern DPS occurs in Michigan,
Ohio, and Indiana. This plan includes
specific recovery objectives and criteria
to achieve delisting of the species from
the Endangered Species Act (Act).
ADDRESSES: You may obtain a copy of
the recovery plan by sending a request
to Field Supervisor, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Ecological Services

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Recovery of endangered or threatened
animals and plants to the point where
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
they are again secure, self-sustaining
members of their ecosystems is a
primary goal of our endangered species
program. To help guide the recovery
effort, we are working to prepare
recovery plans for most listed species
native to the United States. Recovery
plans describe actions considered
necessary for the conservation of the
species, establish criteria for
reclassification or delisting listed
species, and estimate time and cost for
implementing the measures needed.
The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
requires us to develop recovery plans
for listed species unless such a plan will
not promote the conservation of a
particular species. Section 4(f) of the
Act, as amended in 1988, requires us to
provide the public notice and an
opportunity for public review and
comment during recovery plan
development. We provided the draft
copperbelly water snake recovery plan
to the public and solicited comments
from September 6, 2007, through
November 5, 2007 (72 FR 51242). We
considered information received during
the public comment period and
information from peer reviewers in our
preparation of the recovery plan, and
also summarized that information in
Appendix E of this approved recovery
plan.
We listed the copperbelly water snake
northern DPS as threatened on January
29, 1997 (62 FR 4183). The northern
DPS occurs in Michigan, Indiana, and
Ohio, north of 40 degrees north latitude.
The current distribution of the
copperbelly water snake is limited to
only five, very small scattered and
isolated populations in south central
Michigan, northeastern Indiana, and
northwestern Ohio. Surveys indicate
that the species is in decline throughout
these areas.
Copperbelly water snakes have both
wetland and terrestrial habitat
requirements. The species is associated
with wetland complexes characterized
by a preponderance of shallow
wetlands, many of which draw down
seasonally. Such complexes may
predominantly occur as isolated
wetlands distributed in a forested
upland matrix, floodplain wetlands fed
by seasonal flooding, or a combination
of both. Fishless wetlands, suitable for
high anuran (frog and toad)
productivity, are required to provide
habitat and a suitable prey base.

The copperbelly water snake northern
DPS is threatened by habitat loss and
fragmentation, human persecution,
inadequate habitat management, and
road crossings. The principal limiting
factor for this species is the availability
of wetland/upland habitat complexes of
sufficient size. Individuals move
hundreds of meters or more between
wetlands and routinely use multiple
wetlands over the course of an active
season. They also spend substantial
periods of time in upland habitat
aestivating, foraging, and shedding.
Populations may require many
hundreds of hectares of contiguous
habitat in order to persist.
The principal recovery strategy is to
establish and conserve multiple
wetland/upland habitat complexes that
provide adequate habitat for population
persistence. The recovery strategy
focuses on targeted habitat restoration
and implementation of ‘‘best
management practices’’ for land
managers. The objective of the recovery
plan is to provide a framework for the
recovery of copperbelly water snake
northern DPS so that protection by the
Act is no longer necessary. The
copperbelly water snake will be
considered for delisting when section
4(a)(1) threat factors under the Act are
assessed and when the following criteria
are met: (1) Multiple population
viability is assured; (2) sufficient habitat
is conserved and managed; and (3)
significant threats due to lack of suitable
management, adverse land features and
uses, collection, and persecution have
been reduced or eliminated.
We will achieve these criteria through
the following actions: (1) Identify and
conserve habitat complexes sufficient
for recovery; (2) monitor known
copperbelly water snake populations
and their habitat; (3) improve baseline
understanding of copperbelly water
snake ecology; (4) develop recovery
approaches to enhance recruitment and
population size; (5) develop and
implement public education and
outreach efforts; (6) review and track
recovery progress; and (7) develop a
plan to monitor copperbelly water snake
after it is delisted.
Criteria to reclassify the copperbelly
water snake northern DPS to
endangered status is also provided. The
species will be considered for
reclassification from threatened to
endangered status when section 4(a)(1)
threat factors under the Act are assessed
