This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: 2011 American
Housing Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2528–0017.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
American Housing Survey (AHS)
provides a periodic measure of the size
and composition of the country’s
housing inventory. Title 12, United
States Code, Sections 1701Z–1, 1701Z–
2(g), and 1710Z–10a mandates the
collection of this information.
Like the previous surveys, the 2011
AHS collects data on subjects such as
the amount and types of changes in the
inventory, the physical condition of the
inventory, the characteristics of the
occupants, housing costs, the persons
eligible for and beneficiaries of assisted
housing, and the number and
characteristics of vacancies. The 2011
AHS will collect additional data on
potential health and safety hazards in
the home and modifications made to
assist occupants living with disabilities.
Selected neighborhood and journey to
work questions will not be collected in
the 2011 survey and the mortgage
questions will be redesigned. There is
no AHS–Metropolitan Sample in the
2011 survey. But, a supplemental
sample of housing units will be selected
for 30 metropolitan areas. The
supplemental sample will be combined
with existing sample in these areas in
order to produce metropolitan estimates
using the National data.
Policy analysts, program managers,
budget analysts, and Congressional staff
use AHS data to advise executive and
legislative branches about housing
conditions and the suitability of public
policy initiatives. Academic researchers
and private organizations also use AHS
data in efforts of specific interest and
concern to their respective
communities.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) needs the
AHS data for two important uses.
1. With the data, policy analysts can
monitor the interaction among housing
needs, demand and supply, as well as
changes in housing conditions and
costs, to aid in the development of
housing policies and the design of
housing programs appropriate for
different target groups, such as first-time
home buyers and the elderly.
2. With the data, HUD can evaluate,
monitor, and design HUD programs to
improve efficiency and effectiveness.
Agency Form Numbers: Computerized

Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Northwest Area
Water Supply Project (NAWS Project), a
Federal reclamation project, located in
North Dakota. A Final EIS and Record
of Decision (ROD) for the NAWS Project
were previously completed in December
2008 and January 2009, respectively.
The Final EIS and ROD were challenged
in U.S. District Court. A subsequent
court order found the Final EIS to be
insufficient in two areas. Therefore a
supplement is being prepared to address
those areas in more detail and any
others that interested parties or the
public may identify warranting
additional analysis, as well as to reexamine and update, to the extent
necessary, prior NEPA analysis that has
been completed in connection with the
NAWS Project to date. This notice is
being published to inform the public
about the preparation of the
Supplemental EIS and to initiate a
formal scoping period for obtaining
public comment. The scoping period for
the supplement will conclude 60 days
following publication of this notice.
Public meetings are scheduled as part of
the scoping process.
Reclamation invites all interested
parties to submit written comments or
suggestions during the scoping period
related to significant issues,
environmental impacts, and reasonable
alternatives to the proposed action.
Reclamation will provide a separate
project information document that
describes the Supplemental EIS actions
and how the public can become
involved and participate. The project
information document will provide
details relative to the Supplemental EIS
and is intended to assist the public in
providing comments during the scoping
period.
DATES: Public scoping meetings will be
held during September 2010. See the
Supplemental Information section for
dates and locations of these meetings.
Individuals who want to receive the
additional project information
document should contact Reclamation
within 15 days following publication of
this notice. Written or e-mailed
comments on the scope of issues and
alternatives should be received by
October 12, 2010. Comments received
