ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
HUD is seeking approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for the information collection
described below. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD is
requesting comment from all interested
SUMMARY:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: 24
CFR part 50—Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental Quality.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0177.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
requests its applicants to supply
environmental information that is not
otherwise available to HUD staff for the
environmental review on an applicant’s
proposal for HUD financial assistance to
develop or improve housing or
community facilities. HUD itself must
perform an environmental review for
the purpose of compliance with its
environmental regulations found at 24
CFR part 50, Protection and
Enhancement of Environmental Quality.
Part 50 implements the National
Environmental Policy Act and
implementing procedures of the Council
on Environmental Quality, as well as
the related federal environmental laws
and executive orders. HUD’s agencywide provisions—24 CFR 50.3(h)(1) and
50.32—regulate how individual HUD
program staffs are to utilize such
collected data when HUD itself prepares
the environmental review and
compliance. Separately, individual HUD
programs each have their own
regulations and guidance implementing
environmental and related collection
responsibilities. For the next three
years, this approved collection will
continue unchanged under this OMB
control number to assure adequate
coverage for all HUD programs subject
to Part 50.
Respondents: Businesses, not-forprofit institutions, and local
governments receiving HUD funding.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,700.
Estimated Number of Responses:
1,700.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Hours per Response: 3.

(Enhydra lutris nereis) stock in the State
of California.
Background
Under the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at 50 CFR part 18, we regulate the
taking; import; and, under certain
conditions, possession; transportation;
purchasing; selling; and offering for
sale, purchase, or export, of marine
mammals. One of the goals of the
MMPA is to ensure that stocks of marine
mammals occurring in waters under
U.S. jurisdiction do not experience a
level of human-caused mortality and
serious injury that is likely to cause the
stock to be reduced below its optimum
sustainable population (OSP) level. OSP
is defined under the MMPA as ‘‘the
number of animals which will result in
the maximum productivity of the
population or the species, keeping in
mind the carrying capacity of the habitat
and the health of the ecosystem of
which they form a constituent element’’
(16 U.S.C. 1362(9)).
To help accomplish the goal of
maintaining marine mammal stocks at
their OSPs, section 117 of the MMPA
requires the Service and the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to
prepare a SAR for each marine mammal
stock that occurs in waters under U.S.
jurisdiction. Each SAR must include:
1. A description of the stock and its
geographic range;
2. A minimum population estimate,
current and maximum net productivity
rate, and current population trend;
3. An estimate of annual humancaused mortality and serious injury by
source and, for a strategic stock, other
factors that may be causing a decline or
impeding recovery of the stock;
4. A description of commercial fishery
interactions;
5. A categorization of the status of the
stock; and
6. An estimate of the potential
biological removal (PBR) level.
The MMPA defines the PBR as ‘‘the
maximum number of animals, not
including natural mortalities, that may
be removed from a marine mammal
stock while allowing that stock to reach
or maintain its [OSP]’’ (16 U.S.C.
1362(20)). The PBR is the product of the
minimum population estimate of the
stock (Nmin); one-half the maximum
theoretical or estimated net productivity
rate of the stock at a small population
size (Rmax); and a recovery factor (Fr) of
between 0.1 and 1.0. This can be written
as:
PBR = (Nmin)(1⁄2 of the Rmax)(Fr)
Section 117(c)(1) of the MMPA
requires the Service and NMFS to
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
review the SARs (a) at least annually for
stocks that are specified as strategic
stocks, (b) at least annually for stocks for
which significant new information is
available, and (c) at least once every 3
years for all other stocks. If our review
of the status of a stock indicates that it
has changed or may be more accurately
determined, then the SAR must be
revised accordingly. (16 U.S.C.
1386(c)(2)).
A strategic stock is defined in the
MMPA as a marine mammal stock ‘‘(A)
for which the level of direct humancaused mortality exceeds the [PBR]
level; (B) which, based on the best
available scientific information, is
declining and is likely to be listed as a
threatened species under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 [, as
amended] (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) [the
‘‘ESA’’], within the foreseeable future;
or (C) which is listed as a threatened
species or endangered species under the
[ESA], or is designated as depleted
under [the MMPA].’’ (16 U.S.C.
1362(19)).
Stock Assessment Report History for
the Southern Sea Otter in California
The southern sea otter SAR was last
revised in 2017 (82 FR 40793, August
28, 2017). Because the southern sea otter
qualifies as a strategic stock due to its
listing as a threatened species under the
ESA, the Service reviewed the stock
assessment in 2018. The review
concluded that the status had not
changed, nor could it be more
accurately determined. However, upon
review in 2019, the Service determined
that revision was warranted because its
status could be more accurately
determined. Before releasing our draft
SAR for public review and comment, we
submitted it for technical review
internally and for scientific review by
the Pacific Regional Scientific Review
Group, which was established under the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1386(d)). In a January
27, 2020, Federal Register notice (85 FR
4696), we made our draft SAR available
for the MMPA-required 90-day public
review and comment period. Following
the close of the comment period, we
revised the SAR based on public
comments we received (see Response to
Public Comments) and prepared the
final revised SAR. Between publication
of the draft and final revised SARs, we
have not revised the status of the stock
itself (the southern sea otter continues
to retain its status as a strategic stock).
However, we have updated the SAR to
include the most recent information
available.
