On July 15, 2020, HUD

participating Public Housing
Authorities (PHAs) throughout the
country to implement housing mobility
programs by offering mobility-related
services to increase the number of
voucher families with children living in
opportunity areas. The Notice
established October 13, 2020, as the
deadline date for submission of PHA
applications and a second Federal
Register notice extended the submission
deadline to December 14, 2020. Today’s
Federal Register publication further
extends the deadline date for the
submission of applications to February
1, 2021.
DATES: The new application deadline
date for the HCV Mobility
Demonstration Program is February 1,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July

its Notice implementing the HCV
Mobility Demonstration, and
established October 13, 2020, as the
deadline date for the submission of
applications. Through the Notice, HUD
is making available approximately
$50,000,000 for grants to Public Housing
Authorities (PHAs) under a
demonstration program authorized by
statute. On October 8, 2020 (85 FR
63569), HUD published a Federal
Register notice extending the

2020.
Today’s Federal Register publication
further extends the deadline date for the

no later than February 1, 2021.
Applications that are submitted after
midnight on February 1, 2021, or which

longer and that impacts the ability of
applicants to cure a submission

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
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.
