user feedback and outcomes data to
evaluate and improve HUD’s
deployment and management of its
technical assistance (TA) resources. The
data will be used to comprehensively
evaluate the Community Compass
program, identify areas for improvement
in the program, evaluate the
effectiveness of HUD TA interventions,
identify trends in TA needs, support the
measurement of past performance for
future TA NOFAs, and help HUD
identify risk within its TA Provider
pool. Survey results will also be used by
TA Providers and HUD staff to improve
individual TA and training
engagements.
The previously approved Information
Collection (OMB Control No: 2506–

Development Marketplace (CDM)
Project Intake Survey and the Survey of
Community Partners Receiving HUD

surveys are no longer active and thus
are not included in this information
collection revision.

Compared to the previously-approved information collection, the ‘‘Burden Hours Per Response’’ increased slightly for the In-Person and Online
Training surveys due to additional questions added to those surveys. However, the total ‘‘Annual Burden Hours’’ and total ‘‘Annual Cost’’ decreased compared to the previously-approved information collection because two surveys [Community Development Marketplace (CDM) Project
Intake Survey and the Survey of Community Partners Receiving HUD Staff-Led Technical Assistance] were removed from the information
collection.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment

from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of

of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the

Endangered Species Act. The applicant
requests the ITP to take the federally
listed sand skink incidental to
construction in Lake County, Florida.
We request public comment on the
application, which includes the
applicant’s proposed habitat
conservation plan (HCP) and the
Service’s preliminary determination that
this HCP qualifies as ‘‘low-effect,’’
categorically excluded, under the
National Environmental Policy Act. To
make this determination, we used our
environmental action statement and
low-effect screening form, both of which
are also available for public review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the

receipt of an application from
Summergate Development, LLC
(applicant) for an incidental take permit
(ITP) under the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). The applicant requests the
ITP to take the federally listed sand
skink (Neoseps reynoldsi) incidental to
the construction of a residential
subdivision (project) in Lake County,
Florida. We request public comment on

the application, which includes the
applicant’s proposed habitat
conservation plan (HCP) and the
Service’s preliminary determination that
this HCP qualifies as ‘‘low-effect,’’
categorically excluded, under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq.). To make
this determination, we used our
environmental action statement and
low-effect screening form, which are
also available for public review.
Project
Summergate Development, LLC
requests a 10-year ITP to take sand
skinks by converting approximately 3.1
acres of occupied skink foraging and
sheltering habitat incidental to the
construction of a residential subdivision
located on a 57.57-acre parcel in Section
6, Township 23 South, Range 26 East,
Lake County, Florida. The applicant
proposes to mitigate for take of the sand
skinks by purchasing 6.2 credits from a
Service-approved Conservation Bank.
The Service would require the applicant
to make this purchase prior to engaging
in activities associated with the project.
Public Availability of Comments
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
available to the public. While you may
request that we withhold your personal
identifying information, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
project, including land clearing,
infrastructure building, landscaping,
and the proposed mitigation measure,
would individually and cumulatively
have a minor or negligible effect on sand
skinks and the environment. Therefore,
we have preliminarily concluded that
the ITP for this project would qualify for
categorical exclusion and the HCP is
low effect under our NEPA regulations
at 43 CFR 46.205 and 46.210. A loweffect HCP is one that would result in
(1) minor or negligible effects on
