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.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), intend to prepare a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) to evaluate the impacts of several alternatives relating to the requested issuance of an Endangered Species Act (ESA) Incidental Take Permit (ITP) to the PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) 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, E:\FR\FM\07JYN1.SGM 07JYN1

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Enterprise Income Verification 
(EIV) Systems--Debts Owed to Public Housing Agencies and Terminations.
    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 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 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.
