OMB Approval Number: 2577–0266.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD–52675.
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, Project-based Voucher,
Project-based Section 8, Section 202 of
the Housing Act of 1959, Section 811 of
the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act, Sections
221(d)(3) and 236 of the National
Housing Act, and Section 101 of the
Housing and Urban Development Act of
1965 Rent Supplement 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

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
connection with a Federally assisted
housing program under the U.S.
Housing Act of 1937.
Within the scope of this collection of
information, HUD seeks to collect from
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;
3. If applicable, indication of
bankruptcy filing;
4. If applicable, the reason for any
adverse termination of the family from
a Federally assisted housing program.
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.
Respondents: Public Housing
Agencies.

that would authorize take of listed
species caused by activities covered
under the Kauai Island Utility
Cooperative Long-term Habitat
Conservation Plan (KIUC LTHCP). We
also provide this notice to announce a
public scoping period.
The KIUC LTHCP is being prepared
by KIUC to address the effects of its
generation, transmission, and
distribution of electricity on listed
species within the plan area, which
covers the full geographic extent of the
Island of Kauai, Hawaii. KIUC
anticipates requesting incidental take
coverage for the endangered Hawaiian
petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis),
threatened Newell’s shearwater
(Puffinus newelli), and a species
proposed for listing as endangered, the
band-rumped storm-petrel
(Oceanodroma castro). These species
are collectively referred to as the
‘‘Covered Species.’’ The activities
covered under the KIUC LTHCP
(‘‘Covered Activities’’) include
construction of certain planned
facilities; power line construction,
reconfiguration, or undergrounding;
installation and operation of streetlight
fixtures at the request of State, County,
or private entities; the operation and
maintenance of all existing and planned
KIUC facilities and infrastructure; and
activities associated with the
management of certain lands to mitigate
for the take of Covered Species.
This notice was prepared pursuant to
the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
(NEPA), and its implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations at 40 CFR 1506.6, and
pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA. We
intend to prepare a DEIS to evaluate the
impacts of several alternatives related to
the potential issuance of an ITP under
the KIUC LTHCP. KIUC intends to
request a permit term of 30 years. The
primary purpose of the scoping process
is for the public and other agencies to
assist in developing the DEIS by
identifying important issues and
identifying alternatives that should be
considered.
Background
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits ‘‘take’’
of fish and wildlife species listed as
endangered under section 4 (16 U.S.C.
1538 and 16 U.S.C. 1533, respectively).
The ESA implementing regulations
extend, under certain circumstances, the
prohibition of take to threatened species
(50 CFR 17.31). Under section 3 of the
ESA, the term ‘‘take’’ means to ‘‘harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
