using Federal funding. Additionally,
PHA grantees will be able to submit
Replacement Housing Factor fund
plans, the mechanism by which PHAs
are allowed to accumulate special funds
received based on units removed from
the inventory from year to year. This
information is presently collected in
hard copy at the field office level; the
EPIC data system will automate and
centralize this collection in order to
streamline the process and improve
transparency. Furthermore, the EPIC
data system will be loaded with
Physical Needs Assessment (‘‘PNA’’)
data. This data being in the system
coupled with the electronic planning
process will streamline grantee
planning. The EPIC data system will
collect information about the Energy
Performance Contract (‘‘EPC’’) process,
including the energy efficiency
improvements. As the Department
moves to shrink its energy footprint in
spite of rising energy costs, clear and
comprehensive data on this process will
be crucial to its success. Tracking of the
use of Federal funds paid through the
Public Housing Capital Fund, the only
Federal funding stream dedicated to the
capital needs of the nation’s last resort
housing option, is crucial to
understanding how the Department can
properly and efficiently assist grantees
in meeting this goal as well as assessing
the Department’s own progress. The
EPIC data system will track
development of public housing with
Federal funds and through other means,
including mixed-finance development.

We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
the public to comment on the following
applications for a permit to conduct
activities intended to recover and
enhance endangered species survival.
With some exceptions, the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), prohibits certain
activities that may impact endangered
species, unless a Federal permit allows
such activity. The ESA also requires that
we invite public comment before
issuing these permits.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The ESA prohibits certain activities
with endangered and threatened species
unless a Federal permit authorizes
them. The ESA and our implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), title 50, part 17,
provide for issuing such permits and
require that we invite public comment
before issuing permits for activities
involving endangered species.
A recovery permit we issue under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or enhance the
species’ propagation or survival. Our
regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for
endangered plant species, and 50 CFR
17.72 for threatened plant species.
In accordance with section 10(c) of
the ESA, we invite public comment on
these permit applications before we take
final action.
Applications Available for Review and
Comment

Federal agencies and the public to
