that are homeless, or in imminent
danger of becoming homeless, as result
of Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Irene or
Tropical Storm Lee. The State
anticipates the funds will be used in
conjunction with the State’s Social
Service Block Grant, which will support
an intensive case management system to
help locate housing and stabilize the
household through a range of services.
Prior to seeking a waiver, the State
explored all options available to those
most in need of housing assistance. To
date, FEMA has approved over $1
billion of assistance to more than
115,000 households located in the State
of New York. The State has launched
significant housing programs to address
rehabilitation and reconstruction,
however, these programs are not
specifically targeted to address the
urgent needs of the homeless—many of
whom are still housed in shelters or
other non-permanent accommodations
as a result of Sandy, Irene and Lee. For
example, it is estimated that Long
Island’s current homeless population in
shelters exceeds 2,000; approximately
1,000 of these individuals were forced
to the shelter as a result of Sandy.
Meanwhile, the Section 8 rental
assistance program is experiencing a
tremendous demand and has a limited
supply of available housing, while
HOME resources have been reduced by
sequestration. The State is aware of
individuals being served by the FEMA
Temporary Rental Assistance Program,
the Transitional Sheltering Assistance,
and the Disaster Housing Assistance
Program; however, many of these
programs have reached funding limits,
or are not eligible sources of assistance
for the majority of the homeless.
Thus, for the State of New York, the
Department is waiving 42 U.S.C.
5305(a), to the extent necessary, to make
eligible tenant-based rental assistance
for the homeless population, or those at
risk of becoming homeless, due to the
effects of Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane
Irene, or Tropical Storm Lee.
Households will not be eligible for
tenant-based rental assistance if they
have rejected public housing assistance
or declined a Section 8 voucher.
b. City of Joplin. As a result of the
May 2011 tornado, Joplin’s housing
stock, including its Section 8 voucher
program, was severely impacted. In
regards to the Section 8 program, 85
voucher-holders were displaced. Since
the tornado, new housing units have
gradually been added to Joplin’s
inventory; however, many of these are
more costly as Joplin’s rental market
evolves. Compounding the issue, during
its recovery, the Joplin housing
authority experienced a decrease in its
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:40 Mar 26, 2014
Jkt 232001
‘‘fundable’’ voucher population due to a
lack of available units. As a result of this
decrease, the voucher budget provided
to the city also decreased, despite the
needs of additional households that
were displaced. Thus, the city seeks the
use of CDBG–DR funds to assist Joplin’s
housing authority restore its program to
reach pre-disaster voucher levels. After
reviewing the city’s request, the
Department is waiving 42 U.S.C.
5305(a), to the extent necessary, to make
eligible tenant-based rental assistance so
that the city may restore its Section 8
program to pre-disaster levels.
Households will not be eligible for
tenant-based rental assistance if they
have rejected public housing assistance,
or declined a Section 8 voucher. A
maximum of $290,000 may be provided
by the city for this use.
Going forward, the city and the
housing authority are strongly
encouraged to continue to assess the
voucher program to ensure households
in need will have adequate resources
available at the expiration of this
waiver.
III. Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance
The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance number for the disaster recovery
grants under this Notice is as follows: 14.269.
IV. Finding of No Significant Impact
A Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) with respect to the
environment has been made in
accordance with HUD regulations at 24
CFR part 50, which implement section
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4332(2)(C)). The FONSI is available for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Secretaries of the U.S. Department of the
Interior (DOI) and the U.S. Department
of Education (ED) have convened an
American Indian Education Study
Group (Study Group) to determine how
to effectively fulfill President Obama’s
vision for Indian Education. The Study
Group focused on how to facilitate tribal
sovereignty in American Indian
education and how to improve
educational outcomes for students
attending BIE-funded schools. The
Study Group previously engaged with
tribal leaders and Indian educators in
six listening sessions on improving
Indian education for BIE to develop
draft actionable recommendations.
Based on input from these listening
sessions, the Study Group has identified
a framework for reform with a goal of
high-achieving tribally controlled
schools. This goal would allow the
schools to deliver methods and
practices for every BIE student to meet
and exceed high expectations and be
well prepared for college, careers, and
tribal and global citizenship. The Study
Group believes that, in order to reach
this goal, the Obama Administration,
Congress, and tribes must focus on the
following four pillars of reform:

The area described contains
approximately 578,724 acres in Clark
County, Nevada.
The temporary closure will not affect
all of the above-described lands, but
will instead only encompass those
public lands necessary to ensure safe
operations and only for the period of
time necessary to achieve safety
objectives.
The impound operation includes the
authorized use of low-flying aircraft to
herd and capture cattle from various
portions of the Gold Butte, Mormon
Mesa, and Bunkerville Flats areas. The
area is remote with limited vehicular
access over steep, rugged terrain. There
will be numerous vehicles and support
staff conducting operations in this area,
as well as movement of feral cattle that
pose a threat to public safety.
Enforcement of the temporary closure
by law enforcement personnel will be
limited to those geographic areas
determined by Incident Command staff,
within the overall closure boundary,
that need to be closed based on planned
and on-going operations to ensure the
safety of the public, Federal employees,
and contractor personnel.
It is anticipated the impound
operations will last approximately 21
days, but could last up to 30 days
depending upon weather, location of
cattle, success of capture operations,
and other variable conditions. The
temporary closure may be rescinded
prior to May 12, 2014, if impound
operations are successfully completed
before that date.
Maps of the affected area and other
documents associated with this
temporary closure are available at the
