system as it is not used by many States,
unless it could be modified to allow
XML upload and aggregate-only data.
Response: XML is beneficial since it
is a commonly used method of
electronically encoding documents,
usable over the Internet, and compatible
with many programming interfaces that
can be used to extract data. HUD will be
using a system similar to TRACS to
accept data files from the State housing
finance agencies. This system accepts a
variety of file formats, including XML.
HUD plans to modify the system for this
data collection effort to ensure that it
accepts the requested file formats.
Comment: HUD should make clear
that responses to race, ethnicity, and
disability status data are voluntary;
whether the requirement to collect data
exists for the 15-year tax credit
compliance period or the extended
period as well, arguing that the data
collection should not apply after the
initial 15 year period; and that, since
there is no built-in enforcement
mechanism, a good-faith effort to collect
the data should suffice for compliance.
One commenter stated that HUD should
address how the data collection
methodology will be coordinated with
the authority HERA grants for State tax
credit agencies to waive annual
recertification requirements.
Response: Data collection will include
all low-income units monitored for
compliance as long as they remain in
the program, including those in the
extended-use period. Tying the
collection of information to the actual
technical use of the credit makes little
sense as most tax-credit owners actually
sell or syndicate their credits at the
outset. The key, rather, is that the units
have received the benefit of tax credits
and continue to remain in the program
as low-income units, and it is those
complying units that Congress seeks
information about.
Data collection will be consistent with
new HERA re-certification rules for 100
percent low-income unit properties. As
to the race, ethnicity, and disability
questions, a household cannot be forced
to provide this information. If the
household does not provide the
information, the State agency shall make
its best efforts to report the information
based on observation or derived from
other sources.
Comment: Commenters stated that
HUD should make available a
guidebook, procedures manual, or other
informational guidance.
Response: HUD is specifying the data
it is collecting in this notice and in the
paperwork approval request published
in the Federal Register. In addition, the
information contact listed in this rule
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:08 Mar 02, 2010
Jkt 220001
can provide copies of the actual revised
notices. HUD may publish additional
guidance in the near future.
Comment: HUD should make
development-level data available as
soon as possible after it is collected so
that it can be analyzed, for example, to
determine Fair Housing Act compliance
or whether families with incomes below
the poverty line are being served.
Response: The statute requires HUD
to compile and make the information
collected available ‘‘not less than
annually.’’ HUD plans to fulfill that
statutory requirement.
Comment: One commenter stated that
data elements should be precisely
defined so there is no variability from
State to State. For example, all States
should follow the same rounding rules.
Response: HUD believes that most of
the data being collected, such as age,
ethnicity, family composition, disability
status and age, is expressible in whole
integers and will not require rounding.
If it appears that rounding rules could
affect the data in a statistically
significant way, HUD may provide
further guidance as needed.
Comment: One commenter sought
additional data collections for civilrights related purposes. This commenter
stated that HUD should collect racial
and ethnic data on applicants for LIHTC
housing to better assess affirmative
marketing compliance. This commenter
also stated that when initial data is
released, HUD should contract with
‘‘reputable and independent research
organizations to analyze the civil rights
performance of LIHTC State agencies
and project managers/developers’’ to
identify possible patterns of civil rights
violations for further action by HUD’s
Office of Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity. This commenter states that
there has been a ‘‘longstanding failure’’
to collect racial and ethnic data in the
LIHTC program.
Response: HUD does not have
statutory authority to collect data on
applicants. While generally HUD
supports improved civil rights
performance in assisted housing, this
particular statute is limited to collecting
specified information. This information
includes race, ethnicity, and disability
status on households residing in
properties receiving credits under the
low-income housing tax credit program.
Congress has not currently provided
HUD with the authorization or funding
to conduct the study suggested.
Comment: Some commenters state
that there should be transition periods
of various times to give State agencies
time to launch their new systems.
Commenters also stated that compliance
costs would be significant and that HUD
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
9611
should provide or petition Congress to
provide additional funding to cover the
extra costs.
Response: HUD understands that
States may encounter difficulty in
completing the data collection requests.
HUD will address on a State-by-State
basis the need for additional time and
is procuring services to assist States in
their transition. However, while
Congress has authorized funds for this
data collection, funds were not
appropriated for this specific purpose in
Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. The authorized
funding amounts are limited to
$2,500,000 for FY 2009 and $900,000 for
each of FYs 2010 through 2013. States
should be aware of this limited funding.

notice is hereby given that on February
24, 2010, the United States lodged a
Partial Consent Decree with South
Tahoe Refuse Company, Inc. (‘‘STR’’) in
United States of America v. El Dorado
County, California, et al, Civil No. S–
01–1520 MCE GGH (E.D. Cal.), with
respect to the Meyers Landfill Site,
located in Meyers, El Dorado County,
California (the ‘‘Site’’).
On August 3, 2001, Plaintiff United
States of America (‘‘United States’’), on
behalf of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Forest Service (‘‘Forest
Service’’), filed a complaint in this
matter pursuant to Section 107 of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9607, against
Defendants, El Dorado County,
California (the ‘‘County’’) and the City of
South Lake Tahoe, California (‘‘the
City’’). The complaint filed by the
United States seeks recovery of
environmental response costs incurred
by the Forest Service related to the
release or threatened release and/or
disposal of hazardous substances at or
from the Meyers Landfill Site, a former
municipal waste disposal facility
located on National Forest Service
System lands administered by the Lake

against a number of third party
defendants, including STR.
Under the proposed Partial Consent
Decree STR will pay $1.0 million,
which will be deposited into a Forest
Service Special account to fund future
response actions at the Site. The amount
of the proposed settlement is based
upon financial information provided by
STR indicating a limited ability to pay.
In exchange for STR’s payment, STR
will receive from the United States a
covenant not to sue or to take
administrative action pursuant to
Sections 106 or 107 of CERCLA, 42
U.S.C. 9606 and 9607, as amended, for
the performance of response actions at
Operable Unit One (‘‘OU–1’’) at the Site
and the United States’ past response

The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the Partial Consent Decree.
