past 50 years, the Plum Island Animal
Disease Center (PIADC) has served our
nation as the primary facility to conduct
research on livestock diseases. However,
PIADC is nearing the end of its life-cycle
and needs to be replaced in order to
meet U.S. research requirements and
ensure the timely development of
countermeasures in the event of an
outbreak. NBAF meets that need and
will serve as a replacement for the
PIADC facility. Strategically, NBAF will
boast of new and expanded capabilities,
specifically, Biosafety Level (BSL) 4
containment for the study of highconsequence diseases affecting livestock
and people. Specifically, NBAF will
meet its mission by (1) providing
enhanced capabilities to research,
rapidly detect, and provide training on
foreign animal, emerging and zoonotic
diseases in livestock; (2) providing
expanded vaccine and countermeasure
development capabilities; and (3)
replacing and expanding research
currently performed at the PIADC in
Orient Point, New York while
continuing the partnership between the
DHS and the USDA–ARS and USDA–
APHIS.
NBAF will serve as a U.S. government
facility capable of rapidly producing
experimental biological, diagnostic, and
vaccine related products for potential
use by USDA in an outbreak of an
emerging or foreign animal disease.
Initially, the following diseases would
be studied at NBAF and would also
require BSL–3 and BSL–4 laboratory
capabilities: Nipah Virus, Hendra Virus,
African Swine Fever, Rift Valley Fever,
Japanese Encephalitis Virus, Foot and
Mouth Disease, Classical Swine Fever,
and Contagious Bovine
Pleuropneumonia. The pathogens
studied at the NBAF may change based
upon continued evaluation of risks to
U.S. agricultural system.
Dated: February 26, 2013.

Technology Directorate, U.S. Department of

OMB Control Number: 2577–0266.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: In
accordance with 24 CFR 5.233,
processing entities that administer the
Public Housing, Section 8 Housing
Choice Voucher, Moderate
Rehabilitation programs are required to
use HUD’s Enterprise Income
Verification (EIV) system to verify
employment and income information of
program participants and to reduce
administrative and subsidy payment
errors. The EIV system is a system of
records owned by HUD, as published in
the Federal Register on July 20, 2005 at
70 FR 41780 and updated on August 8,
2006 at 71 FR 45066.
The Department seeks to identify
families who no longer participate in a
HUD rental assistance program due to
adverse termination of tenancy and/or
assistance, and owe a debt to a Public
Housing Agency (PHA). In accordance
with 24 CFR 982.552 and 960.203, the
PHA may deny admission to a program
if the family is not suitable for tenancy
for reasons such as, but not limited to:
Unacceptable past performance in
meeting financial obligations, history of
criminal activity, eviction from
Federally assisted housing in the last
five years, family has committed fraud,
bribery, or any other corrupt or criminal
act in connection with a Federal
housing program, or if a family
currently owes rent or other amounts to
the PHA or to another PHA in

all PHAs, the following information:
1. Amount of debt owed by a former
tenant to a PHA;
2. If applicable, indication of executed
repayment agreement;

This information is collected
electronically from PHAs via HUD’s EIV
system. This information is used by
HUD to create a national repository of
families that owe a debt to a PHA and/
or have been terminated from a federally
assisted housing program. This national
repository is available within the EIV
system for all PHAs to access during the
time of application for rental assistance.
PHAs are able to access this information
to determine a family’s suitability for
rental assistance, and avoid providing
limited Federal housing assistance to
families who have previously been
unable to comply with HUD program
requirements. If this information is not
collected, the Department is at risk of
paying limited Federal dollars on behalf
of families who may not be eligible to
receive rental housing assistance.
Furthermore, if this information is not
collected, the public will perceive that
there are no consequences for a family’s
failure to comply with HUD program
requirements.
Agency form number, if applicable:
Form HUD–52675.
Members of affected public: State or
Local Government; Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs), Individuals or
