A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public
Housing Reform Act: Changes to
Admission and Occupancy
Requirements.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0230.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
purpose of this information collection
submission is to implement the
requirement that public housing
agencies have available upon request,
their respective admission and
occupancy policies for both the public
and the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. Public Housing
Authorities must have on hand and
available for inspection policies related
to admission and continued occupancy,
so as to respond to inquiries from
tenants, legal-aid services, HUD, and
other interested parties informally or
through the Freedom of Information
Act. Written documentation of policies
relating to Public Housing and Section
8 Assistance Programs implemented
under the Quality Housing and Work
Responsibility Act of 1998, such as
eligibility for admission and continued
occupancy, local preferences, and rent
determination, must be maintained and
made available by Public Housing
Authorities.
The collection of information
implements changes to the admission
and occupancy Requirements for the
Public Housing and Section 8 Assisted
Housing Programs made by the Quality
Housing and Work Responsibility
(QHWRA) Act 1998, (Title V of the FY
1999 HUD appropriations Act, Public
Law 105–276, 112 Stat. 2518, approved
October 21, 1998), which amended the
United States Housing Act of 1937.
QHWRA made comprehensive changes
to HUD’s Public Housing Section 8
Programs. Some of the changes made by
the 1998 Act (i.e., QHWRA) affect public
housing only and others affect the
Section 8 and Public Housing Programs.

These changes cover choice of rent,
community service and self-sufficiency
in public housing; and admission
preferences and determination of
income and rent in public housing and
Section 8 Housing Assistance Programs.
Revisions are made to this collection
to reflect adjustments in calculations
based on the total number of current,
active public housing agencies (PHAs)
to date. The number of active public
housing agencies has changed from
4,058 to 3,946 since the last approved
information collection. The number of
PHAs can fluctuate due to a number of
factors, including but not limited to the
merging of two or more PHAs or the
termination of the public housing and/
or voucher programs.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
State, Local or Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
We announce the availability of two
proposed low-effect habitat
conservation plans (HCP), which
analyze the take of the Alabama beach
mouse (Peromyscus polionotus
ammobates) (ABM) incidental to
construction of 19 single-family homes
by West Beach LLC on a 1.02-acre lot
and construction of single-family home
by Charles M. Smith on a 0.39 acre lot
in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The applicants
request incidental take permits (ITP)
under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). If we approve these two
ITP’s, the West Beach LLC anticipates
the taking of up to 1.02 acres of ABM

habitat over a requested 25-year ITP,
and Charles M. Smith anticipates the
taking of up to 0.06 acre of ABM habitat
over a 50-year ITP.
Applicants’ Proposals
West Beach LLC
The applicant proposes to minimize
and mitigate the take of up to 1.02 acres
of ABM habitat at 1932 West Beach
Boulevard, Gulf Shores, Alabama, by
using routine ABM conservation
measures at the proposed development
(such as minimizing construction
footprint, restoration of native
vegetation, and measures to minimize
effects to ABM during occupancy and
use of the development) and by
donating a 0.91-acre ‘‘inholding’’ lot of
Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge
(BSNWR). The lot proposed for
development currently has a singlefamily house on it and a large portion
of the lot has been previously used as
a construction storage yard. The lot
proposed for mitigation is within the
acquisition boundary of Bon Secour
National Wildlife Refuge, and contains
high-quality habitat and will be donated
to the Alabama Coastal Heritage Trust
(ACHT). ACHT will either place a
conservation easement on the lot or
eventually convey it to BSNWR.
Charles M. Smith
The applicant proposes to minimize
and mitigate the take of up to 0.06 acres
of ABM habitat at an inholding lot off
Mobile Street within the Perdue Unit of
Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge
(BSNWR), Gulf Shores, Alabama by
using standard ABM conservation
measures at the proposed development
and by donating an ‘‘in-lieu’’ fee to the
Friends of Bon Secour National Wildlife
Refuge group (FBSNWR). The lot
proposed for development currently is
undeveloped, but will utilize an existing
driveway to minimize impacts. The ‘‘inlieu’’ fee will be donated to the
FBSNWR group whom will use the fee
to either managed, maintain, or acquire
ABM habitat within the BSNWR Perdue
Unit.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have made a preliminary
determination that the applicants’
projects, including the mitigation
measures, will individually and
cumulatively have a minor or negligible
effect on the species covered in the
HCPs. Therefore, our proposed issuance
of the requested ITPs qualifies as a
categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as
provided by Department of the Interior
implementing regulations in part 46 of
