Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202–366–9826. 29569 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal Emergency Management Agency Background and Purpose [Docket ID FEMA–2010–0031] A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed under Title 33, Code of Federal Regulation, Parts 81 and 89, has been issued for the offshore supply vessel JANSON R. GRAHAM, O.N. 1222117. Full compliance with 72 COLREGS and Inland Rules Act would hinder the vessel’s ability to maneuver within close proximity of offshore platforms. The forward masthead light may be located on the top forward portion of the pilothouse 6.2 meters above the hull. Placing the forward masthead light at the height required by Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of the 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.03(a) of the Inland rules Act would result in a masthead light location highly susceptible to damage when working in close proximity to offshore platforms. Additionally, the horizontal distance between the forward and aft masthead lights may be 2.489 meters. Placing the aft masthead light at the horizontal distance from the forward masthead light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of the 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act would result in an aft masthead light location directly over the aft cargo deck where it would interfere with loading and unloading operations. The Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the vertical placement of the forward masthead light to deviate from requirements set forth in Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.03(a) of the Inland Rules Act. In addition the Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the horizontal separation of the forward and aft masthead lights to deviate from the requirements of Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lu Juana Richardson, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, via e-mail at LuJuana.Richardson@dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This policy provides guidance on the appropriate use of hazard mitigation discretionary funding available under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5172. This will ensure national consistency in the use of Section 406 mitigation funds and promote measures that reduce future loss to life and property, protect the Federal investment in public infrastructure and ultimately help build disaster-resistant communities. FEMA has revised this policy to reflect the alignment of benefit cost analysis methodologies between the Mitigation and Recovery Directorates. In order to achieve consistency across program areas and to maximize FEMA’s ability to support and encourage costeffective hazard mitigation, the Public Assistance Division has adopted the Mitigation Directorate’s Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) methodology for Section 406 hazard mitigation projects. Previously, the only benefits considered in the BCA were damage to the facility E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM 26MYN1 29570 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 26, 2010 / Notices and its damaged contents, necessary emergency protective measures and temporary relocation assistance. Section VII.B.3. of the policy has been changed to also consider social net benefits (e.g., loss of function, casualty, and cost avoidance) in the BCA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department will submit the proposed information collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).

This Notice also lists the following information: Title of Proposal: 5-Year and Annual Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan OMB Control Number, if applicable: 2577–0226. Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: Section 2702 of Title VII—Small Public Housing Authorities Paperwork Reduction Act, of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 amends section 5A(b) of the 1937 Act by establishing ‘‘qualified public housing agencies’’, a category of PHAs with less than 550 public housing units and tenant-based vouchers combined that are provided substantial paperwork relief, primarily with respect to the PHA Annual Plan requirements in section 5(A)(b) of the United States Housing Act of 1937. The paperwork relief exempts qualified PHAs from the requirement to prepare and submit an annual PHA plan to HUD for review. This Act impacts approximately sixty-eight percent, or 2,802 of the 4,114 PHAs that are required to submit Annual and 5-Year PHA Plans. This information collection revises previously OMB approved forms HUD–50077 and HUD–50075, and adds Civil Rights certification (form HUD– 50077–CR) formerly appearing on form PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 HUD–50077 as a separate document. The form HUD–50075 deletes category for ‘‘HCV only PHAs’’ and adds categories for ‘‘Qualified PHAs,’’ ‘‘NonQualified PHAs’’ and ‘‘Troubled PHAs’’ in Section 1.0 containing PHA Information; adds a new section to describe activities for implementing the Violence Against Women Act (Section 5.3); incorporates a table identifying all Annual PHA Plan elements (Section 6.0); adds a new Section 6.1 for Admissions Policy for the Deconcentration of Lower-Income Families; adds a new requirement (Section 6.9(c)) under Additional Information for Troubled and Standard PHAs to include or reference any applicable memorandum of agreement with HUD or any plan to improve performance and any other information required by HUD; revises the list of Required Documents to add forms HUD–50077–CR, HUD–50077–SL, and Admissions Policy for Deconcentration of Lower-Income Families, lists separately the required PHA Plan attachments for Qualified and NonQualified PHAs (Section 7.0); minor edits to the Instructions page of form HUD–50075, including a new requirement under the component for Operation and Management to update PHA Plans where PHAs have opted to implement non-smoking policies in public housing; and renumbers other sections of the form. The currently proposed form HUD–50075 will be used by all PHAs—high performing, standard, troubled, non-qualified, and qualified, who will only complete the 5Year Plan information, sections 5.0 through 5.3—the mission, goals and objectives of the PHA and the goals, objectives, policies, or programs for servicing victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking and submit the template every 5 years. Qualified PHAs no longer submit information on discretionary programs (demolition or disposition, HOPE VI, Project-based vouchers, required or voluntary conversion, homeownership, or capital improvements, etc.) as part of an Annual PHA Plan submission. However, Qualified PHAs that intend to implement these activities are still subject to the full application and approval processes that exist for demolition or disposition, designated housing, conversion, homeownership, and other special application processes that will no longer be tied to prior authorization in an Annual PHA Plan for a Qualified PHA. All PHAs, including the PHAs identified as Qualified PHAs under HERA, must E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM 26MYN1
