housing occupancy was very strong.
HUD plays a vital part in the housing
industry and the increased numbers
reflect that strong demand.
This form HUD–92437 serves as the

changes to contact work, contract price,
or contract time. All on-site
construction changes are submitted on
this form. The contractor, architect,
mortgagor, and mortgagee must approve
the proposed changes before the request
is submitted to HUD for approval. The
form ensures that viable projects are
developed.
Respondents: Individuals
participating in HUD Multifamily
mortgage insurance programs as
principals of sponsors, mortgagors, and
general contractors.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Background
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits take of
fish and wildlife species listed as
endangered (16 U.S.C. 1538). By
regulation, this take prohibition also
applies to certain species listed as
threatened. (50 CFR 17.31(a)). Under
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA (16 U.S.C.
1539(a)(1)(B)), we may issue permits to
authorize take of listed fish and wildlife
species that is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, carrying out an otherwise
lawful activity. Regulations governing
permits for listed fish and wildlife
species are set forth in 50 CFR parts
17.22 and 17.32.
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
requires Federal agencies to analyze
their proposed actions to determine
whether the actions may significantly
affect the human environment. In these
NEPA analyses, the Federal agency will
identify direct, indirect, and cumulative
effects, as well as possible mitigation for
effects on environmental resources that

could occur with implementation of the
proposed action and alternatives.
