HUD
announces its intention to sell in MLS
2011–1 certain unsubsidized mortgage
loans (Mortgage Loans) secured by
multifamily properties located
throughout the United States. The
Mortgage Loans were comprised of nonperforming mortgage loans. A final
listing of the Mortgage Loans was
included in the BIP. The Mortgage
Loans were sold without FHA insurance
and with servicing released. HUD
offered qualified bidders an opportunity
to bid competitively on the Mortgage
Loans.
The Mortgage Loans may be stratified
for bidding purposes into several
mortgage loan pools. Each pool
contained Mortgage Loans that generally
had similar performance, property type,
geographic location, lien position and
other characteristics. Qualified bidders
could submit bids on one or more pools
of Mortgage Loans or could bid on
individual loans. A mortgagor who was
a qualified bidder was permitted to
submit an individual bid on its own
Mortgage Loan. Interested Mortgagors
were able to review the Qualification
Statement to determine whether they
were eligible to qualify to submit bids
on one or more pools of Mortgage Loans
or on individual loans in MLS 2011–1.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Bidding Process
The BIP described in detail the
procedure for bidding in MLS 2011–1.
The BIP also included a standardized
non-negotiable loan sale agreement
(Loan Sale Agreement).
As part of its bid, each bidder was
required to submit a deposit equal to the
greater of $100,000 or 10% of the bid
price. In the event the bidder’s aggregate
bid was less than $100,000.00, the
minimum deposit was not less than fifty
percent (50%) of the bidder’s aggregate
bid. HUD evaluated the bids submitted
and determined the successful bids in
its sole and absolute discretion. If a
bidder was successful, the bidder’s
deposit was non-refundable and was
applied toward the purchase price.
Deposits were returned to unsuccessful
bidders. Closings are scheduled to occur
by May 6, 2011.
These were the essential terms of sale.
The Loan Sale Agreement, which was
included in the BIP, contained
additional terms and details. To ensure

process for reviewing loan files in MLS
2011–1. Qualified bidders were able to
access loan information remotely via a
high-speed Internet connection.
Mortgage Loan Sale Policy
HUD reserved the right to add
Mortgage Loans to or delete Mortgage
Loans from MLS 2011–1 at any time
prior to the Award Date. HUD also

bids, in whole or in part, without
prejudice to HUD’s right to include any
Mortgage Loans in a later sale. Mortgage
Loans will not be withdrawn after the
Award Date except as is specifically
provided in the Loan Sale Agreement.
This was a sale of unsubsidized
mortgage loans, pursuant to Section

Development, and Independent
Agencies Appropriations Act of 1997,
12 U.S.C. 1715z–11a(a).

Mortgage Loans, and provides the
quickest and most efficient vehicle for
HUD to dispose of the Mortgage Loans.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Introduction
With this notice we continue the
public involvement process in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as amended, and
implementing regulations. We prepared
the FEIS in accordance with NEPA and
the National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Refuge Administration
Act); and Service regulations and
policies. The Refuge Administration Act
requires each unit of the National
Wildlife Refuge System to be managed
to achieve its establishing purposes.
The Atoll is located in the Pacific
Ocean, approximately halfway between
Hawai‘i and American Samoa. It
consists of a circular string of 50 islets
nestled among several lagoons and
encircled by 15,000 acres of shallow
reefs and submerged reefs. Nonnative
invasive rats are damaging the Atoll’s
environment. Through our FEIS we are
proposing to restore and protect native
species and habitats by eradicating rats.
In the FEIS we recommend applying a
lethal dose of rodenticide to every rat on
the Atoll, in a manner that minimizes
harm to the ecosystem and upholds a
high probability of success.
Public Involvement
We conducted public scoping for the
draft environmental impact statement
(DEIS) from January 14 to March 1,
2010. During that time we requested
public comments through the Federal
Register (75 FR 2158; January 14, 2010)
and on our Web site (see ADDRESSES).
The comments we received covered
topics such as threats to nontarget
species, our proposed selection of the
rodenticide brodifacoum over
diphacinone, and effects to other Refuge
operations. We considered and
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
24047
evaluated these comments, and
incorporated them into the various
alternatives identified in the DEIS.
We distributed copies of the DEIS,
posted it on our Web site (see
ADDRESSES), and held a public comment
period from February 25 to April 11,
2011 (76 FR 10621; February 25, 2011).
During the public comment period, we
received comments regarding strong
support for and strong opposition to rat
eradication, threats to nontarget species,
our proposed selection of the
rodenticide brodifacoum over
diphacinone, effects to other Refuge
operations, and implementation
strategies. The comments we received
and our responses are presented in the
FEIS.
FEIS Alternatives
We present four alternatives in the
FEIS. Alternative A is our no action
alternative, and Alternatives B, C, and
D, are our action alternatives. In all of
the action alternatives, we propose
using rodenticide bait pellets containing
the anticoagulant brodifacoum (0.0025
percent active ingredient) to eradicate
rats from the Atoll. In Alternative B, we
propose broadcasting brodifacoum
aerially; in Alternative C, our preferred
alternative, we propose broadcasting
brodifacoum aerially and mitigating
risks to vulnerable shorebirds; and in
Alternative D, we propose using
brodifacoum bait stations and canopy
baiting. In order to be retained for
consideration, our action alternatives
had to: (1) Have a high likelihood of
success; (2) have an acceptably low
probability for adverse effects on
populations of nontarget species and the
environment; and (3) be allowed under
regulations governing the Refuge. The
potential impacts of each alternative
were assessed, and, where appropriate,
mitigation measures were applied to
avoid impacts or reduce their magnitude
and intensity.
Under Alternative A, no new actions
to eradicate rats would be implemented
and they would continue to harm the
Atoll’s environment.
Under Alternatives B and C we would
use a helicopter with a specialized
bucket to broadcast brodifacoum bait
pellets aerially. The bucket would
deliver the bait at the appropriate rate
and in a directional manner to all
potential rat territories within a short
operational period. Special measures to
prevent the bait from entering the water
would include hand broadcasting on
narrow strands of land and tiny islands,
and installing bait packets in canopy
trees overhanging the water. In addition,
under Alternative C, we would manage

To ensure a competitive bidding process, the terms of the bidding

information remotely via a high-speed Internet connection.
Mortgage Loan Sale Policy

reserved the right to reject any and all bids, in whole or in part,

later sale. Mortgage Loans will not be withdrawn after the Award Date
except as is specifically provided in the Loan Sale Agreement.
This was a sale of unsubsidized mortgage loans, pursuant to Section
204(a) of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban
