1_(Somali language) may be submitted
to HUD by mail, in person, by facsimile,
by email, or via the internet to HUD’s
Office of Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity (FHEO). FHEO staff uses
the information provided on the Form to
verify HUD’s authority to investigate the
aggrieved person’s allegations under the
Fair Housing Act.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Proposed Revised Title of Information
Collection: Housing Discrimination
Claim Form.
OMB Control Number: 2529–0011.
Type of Request: Proposed
reinstatement, with revised title and
minor text revisions, of an expired,
previously approved information
collection.
Form Number: HUD–903.1.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD
uses the Housing Discrimination Claim
Form HUD–903.1 (Form) to collect
pertinent information from persons
wishing to file housing discrimination
complaints with HUD under the Fair
Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act
makes it unlawful to discriminate in the
sale, rental, occupancy, advertising, or
insuring of residential dwellings; or to
discriminate in residential real estaterelated transactions; or in the provision
of brokerage services, based on race,
color, religion, sex, handicap
[disability], familial status, or national
origin. The Fair Housing Act also makes
it unlawful to coerce, intimidate,
threaten, or interfere with any person
who has (1) exercised their fair housing
rights; or (2) aided or encouraged
another person to exercise their fair
housing rights.
Any person who claims to have been
injured by a discriminatory housing
practice, or any person who believes
that they will be injured by a
discriminatory housing practice that is
about to occur, may file a complaint
with HUD not later than one year after
the alleged discriminatory housing
practice occurs or terminates. The Form
promotes consistency in the collection
of information necessary to contact
persons who file housing discrimination
complaints with HUD. It also aids in the
collection of information necessary for
initial assessments of HUD’s authority
to investigate alleged discriminatory
housing practices under the Fair
Housing Act. This information may
subsequently be provided to persons
against whom complaints are filed
[‘‘respondents’’], as required under
section 810(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Fair
Housing Act.

903–1_(Somali).
Members of affected public:
Individuals or households; businesses
or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.
Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection, including the number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of responses: During FY 2020,
HUD staff received approximately
21,846 information submissions from
persons wishing to file housing
discrimination complaints with HUD.
Of this total, HUD received 1,298
complaint submissions by telephone.
The remaining 20,548 complaint
submissions were transmitted to HUD
by mail, in-person, by email, and via the
internet. HUD estimates that an
aggrieved person requires
approximately 45 minutes in which to
complete this Form. The Form is
completed once by each aggrieved
person. Therefore, the total number of
annual burden hours for this Form is
15,411 hours.
20,548 × 1 (frequency) × .45 minutes
(.75 hours) = 15,411 hours.
Annualized cost burden to
complainants: HUD does not provide
postage-paid mailers for this
information collection. Accordingly,
aggrieved persons choosing to submit
this Form to HUD by regular mail must
pay the United States Postal Service’s
(USPS) prevailing First Class Postage
rate. As of the date of this Notice, the
annualized cost burden per person,
based on a one-time submission of this
Form to HUD via the USPS’s First Class
Postage rate, is Fifty-five Cents ($0.55)
per person. During FY 2020, FHEO staff
received approximately 1,533
submissions of potential complaint
information by mail. Based on this
number, HUD estimates that the total
annualized cost burden for aggrieved
persons who submit this Form to HUD
by mail is $843.00. Aggrieved persons
may also submit this Form to HUD in
person, by facsimile, by email, or
electronically via the internet.
Status of the proposed information
collection: Proposed reinstatement, with
revised title and minor text revisions, of
an expired, previously approved
collection of pertinent information from
persons wishing to file Fair Housing Act
complaints with HUD.

information collection described in
Section A.
ADDRESSES:
A. Overview of Information Collection
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Title of Information Collection: HOME
Investment Partnerships Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506–0171.
Type of Request: Revision of
Approved Collection.
Form Number: SF 1199A, HUD 27055.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
information collected through HUD’s
Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR
92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices,
HUD Headquarters, and HOME
Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) Participating Jurisdictions (PJs).
The project-specific property, tenant,
owner, and financial data is used to
compile annual reports to Congress
required at Section 284(b) of Title II of
the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (42
U.S.C. 12721 et seq.) (the Act) as well
as to make program management
decisions about how well PJs are
achieving the statutory objectives of the
HOME Program. Program management
reports are generated by IDIS to provide
data on the status of PJs’ HOME grants
and projects including the commitment
and disbursement of HOME funds.
These reports are provided to HUD staff
as well as to HOME PJs.
Management reports required in
conjunction with the Annual
Performance Report (24 CFR 92.509) are
used by HUD Field Offices to assess the
effectiveness of locally designed
programs in meeting specific statutory
requirements and by Headquarters in
preparing the Annual Report to
Congress. Specifically, these reports
permit HUD to determine compliance
with the requirement that PJs provide a
25 percent match for HOME funds
expended during the Federal fiscal year
(Section 220 of the Act) and that
program income be used for HOME
eligible activities (Section 219 of the
Act), as well as the Women and
Minority Business Enterprise
requirements (24 CFR 92.351(b)).
Financial, project, tenant and owner
documentation are used to determine
compliance with HOME Program cost
limits (Section 212(e) of the Act),
eligible activities (24 CFR 92.205), and
eligible costs (24 CFR 92.206), as well as
to determine whether PJs are complying
with the income targeting and
affordability requirements of the Act
(Sections 214 and 215 of the Act). Other
information collected under Subpart H
of Part 92 (Other Federal Requirements)
is primarily intended for local program
management and is only viewed by
HUD during routine monitoring visits.
The written agreement with the owner
for long-term obligation (24 CFR 92.504)
and tenant protections (24 CFR 92.253)
are required to ensure that the property
owner complies with these important
elements of the HOME Program and are
also reviewed by HUD during
monitoring visits. HUD reviews all other
data collection requirements during
monitoring to assure compliance with
Paperwork requirement

HUD tracks PJ performance and
compliance with the requirements of 24
CFR parts 91 and 92. PJs use the
required information in the execution of
their program, and to gauge their own
performance in relation to stated goals.
HUD is revising its existing HOME
Program PRA to reflect additional
funding appropriated for the HOME
program under the American Rescue
Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2) (ARP).
ARP provides $5 billion to assist
individuals or households who are
homeless, at risk of homelessness, and
in other vulnerable populations by
providing affordable rental housing,
rental assistance, supportive services,
and non-congregate shelter, to reduce
homelessness and increase housing
stability across the country. These
additional grant funds are known as
HOME-American Rescue Plan or
HOME-ARP. Usage of these additional
grant funds will increase the reporting
burden hours for participating
jurisdictions. This burden includes
collecting new and/or additional
information related for new activities
funded with HOME-ARP that serve
individuals or families who are
homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of
the McKinney-Veto Homeless
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)); at
risk of homelessness, as defined in
section 401(1) of the McKinney-Veto
Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
11360(1)); fleeing or attempting to flee,
domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, stalking or human
trafficking; in other populations where
providing supportive services or
assistance under section 212(a) of the
Act (42 U.S.C. 12742(a)) would prevent
the family’s homelessness or would
serve those with the greatest risk of
housing instability. This burden
includes making the information
available to HUD for monitoring the
performance of participating
jurisdictions and ensuring compliance
with the HOME-ARP implementing
notice (the ‘‘HOME-ARP Notice’’) and
applicable HOME program requirements
in 24 CFR part 92.
Respondents: State and local
government PJs and consortia, including
insular areas.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
availability of a draft habitat
conservation plan (HCP) and draft
categorical exclusion screening form for
activities described in an application for
an incidental take permit (ITP) under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. The ITP would authorize take
of a listed species incidental to
construction of a residential
development in the community of
Orcutt within Santa Barbara County,
California. The applicants developed
the draft HCP in support of their
application for an ITP. The Service
prepared a draft categorical exclusion
screening form in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act to
evaluate the potential effects to the
natural and human environment
resulting from issuing an ITP to the
applicants. We invite public comment
on these documents.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before July 26, 2021.
ADDRESSES: To obtain documents: You
may download a copy of the draft HCP
and categorical exclusion screening
form at https://www.fws.gov/ventura/,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce the availability of a draft
habitat conservation plan (HCP), and
associated draft categorical exclusion
screening form, submitted by Vintage
Ranch Orcutt, LLC (applicant) with an
application for an ITP. The permit
would authorize take of the federally
endangered Santa Barbara County
distinct population segment (DPS) of the
California tiger salamander (Ambystoma
californiense) incidental to activities
described in the HCP for the
construction of an approximately 15acre residential development within a
33-acre lot in the community of Orcutt
within Santa Barbara County, California.
The applicant developed a draft HCP as
part of their application for an ITP
under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The Service prepared a draft categorical
exclusion screening form in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.) to evaluate the potential effects to
the natural and human environment
resulting from issuing an ITP to the
applicants. We invite public comment
on these documents.
Background
The Service listed the Santa Barbara
County DPS of the California tiger
salamander as endangered on
September 21, 2000 (65 FR 57242).
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits take of
fish and wildlife species listed as
endangered (16 U.S.C. 1538). Under the
ESA, ‘‘take’’ is defined to include the
following activities: ‘‘to harass, harm,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C.
1532). 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
incidental take permits for endangered
species are in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.22.
Issuance of an ITP also must not
jeopardize the existence of federally
listed fish, wildlife, or plant species,
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

pursuant to section 7 of the ESA and 50
CFR 402.02. The permittee would
receive assurances under our ‘‘No
Surprises’’ regulations (50 CFR
17.22(b)(5)).
Applicants’ Proposed Activities
The applicant has applied for a 20year term permit for incidental take of
the Santa Barbara County DPS of the
California tiger salamander. The take
would occur in association with the
construction of a residential
development and associated activities
such as vegetation removal, site
grubbing, and grading for proposed
development. The proposed
development and all associated
disturbance areas would be sited on
approximately 15 acres of a 33-acre
property.
The HCP includes avoidance and
minimization measures for the Santa
Barbara County DPS of the California
tiger salamander and mitigation for
unavoidable loss of habitat. As
mitigation for habitat loss, the applicant
proposes to purchase credits from a
Service-approved mitigation bank.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: HOME Investment Partnerships
Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2506-0171.
Type of Request: Revision of Approved Collection.
Form Number: SF 1199A, HUD 27055.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
information collected through HUD's Integrated Disbursement and
Information System (IDIS) (24 CFR 92.502) is used by HUD Field Offices,
HUD Headquarters, and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
Participating Jurisdictions (PJs). The project-specific property,
tenant, owner, and financial data is used to compile annual reports to
Congress required at Section 284(b) of Title II of the Cranston-
Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12721 et
seq.) (the Act) as well as to make program management decisions about
how well PJs are achieving the statutory objectives of the HOME
Program. Program management reports are generated by IDIS to provide
data on the status of PJs' HOME grants and projects including the
commitment and disbursement of HOME funds. These reports are provided
to HUD staff as well as to HOME PJs.
Management reports required in conjunction with the Annual
Performance Report (24 CFR 92.509) are used by HUD Field Offices to
assess the effectiveness of locally designed programs in meeting
specific statutory requirements and by Headquarters in preparing the
Annual Report to Congress. Specifically, these reports permit HUD to
determine compliance with the requirement that PJs provide a 25 percent
match for HOME funds expended during the Federal fiscal year (Section
220 of the Act) and that program income be used for HOME eligible
activities (Section 219 of the Act), as well as the Women and Minority
Business Enterprise requirements (24 CFR 92.351(b)).
Financial, project, tenant and owner documentation are used to
determine compliance with HOME Program cost limits (Section 212(e) of
the Act), eligible activities (24 CFR 92.205), and eligible costs (24
CFR 92.206), as well as to determine whether PJs are complying with the
income targeting and affordability requirements of the Act (Sections
214 and 215 of the Act). Other information collected under Subpart H of
Part 92 (Other Federal Requirements) is primarily intended for local
program management and is only viewed by HUD during routine monitoring
visits. The written agreement with the owner for long-term obligation
(24 CFR 92.504) and tenant protections (24 CFR 92.253) are required to
ensure that the property owner complies with these important elements
of the HOME Program and are also reviewed by HUD during monitoring
visits. HUD reviews all other data collection requirements during
monitoring to assure compliance with the requirements of the Act and
other related laws and authorities.
HUD tracks PJ performance and compliance with the requirements of
24 CFR parts 91 and 92. PJs use the required information in the
execution of their program, and to gauge their own performance in
relation to stated goals.
HUD is revising its existing HOME Program PRA to reflect additional
funding appropriated for the HOME program under the American Rescue
Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2) (ARP). ARP provides $5 billion to
assist individuals or households who are homeless, at risk of
homelessness, and in other vulnerable populations by providing
affordable rental housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and
non-congregate shelter, to reduce homelessness and increase housing
stability across the country. These additional grant funds are known as
HOME-American Rescue Plan or HOME-ARP. Usage of these additional grant
funds will increase the reporting burden hours for participating
jurisdictions. This burden includes collecting new and/or additional
information related for new activities funded with HOME-ARP that serve
individuals or families who are homeless, as defined in section 103(a)
of the McKinney-Veto Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)); at
risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of the McKinney-Veto
Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(1)); fleeing or attempting to
flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or
human trafficking; in other populations where providing supportive
services or assistance under section 212(a) of the Act (42 U.S.C.
12742(a)) would prevent the family's homelessness or would serve those
with the greatest risk of housing instability. This burden includes
making the information available to HUD for monitoring the performance
of participating jurisdictions and ensuring compliance with the HOME-
ARP implementing notice (the ``HOME-ARP Notice'') and applicable HOME
program requirements in 24 CFR part 92.
Respondents: State and local government PJs and consortia,
