What CDBG–DR rules, waivers, or alternative requirements, if any, should be modified or eliminated to ensure that grantees advance equity in the timing of who is able to receive assistance and the amount of assistance available and received? For example, by prioritizing programs to assist homeowners over those that assist renters, a grantee may not have enough funding to meet the unmet needs of renters, including those less able to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impacts of disasters. c. What CDBG–DR rules, waivers, or alternative requirements, if any, should be modified to further prevent an ‘‘unjustified discriminatory effect’’ (i.e., interests can be served by another practice with a less discriminatory effect) based on race or other protected class in the implementation of CDBG– DR funding to address disaster-related unmet needs (recognizing that HUD has no authority to waive or specify alternative requirements for statutes and regulations related to fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor, or the environment)? d. What barriers impede grantees’ ability to allocate resources equitably? What barriers do protected class groups, vulnerable populations, and other underserved communities face in accessing, applying for, and receiving CDBG–DR assistance in a timely manner? e. What additional guidance, data, or support can HUD provide to help grantees comply with fair housing and civil rights requirements and allocate resources equitably across housing types? f. What challenges do grantees face in complying with their obligation to ensure meaningful access for individuals with limited English proficiency or effective communication for individuals with disabilities? What tools or resources could HUD provide to facilitate compliance with these obligations? g. Congress has recently identified Indian tribes as eligible CDBG–DR grantees but there are currently no Indian tribes in HUD’s CDBG–DR portfolio. Are there revisions to HUD’s CDBG–DR policies that should be considered to capture tribal recovery needs more effectively? (Please also see the request for information from the public on the need for any revisions to HUD’s allocation formula to better capture tribal recovery needs published elsewhere in today’s Federal Register.) h. What barriers impede grantees’ ability to design and utilize buyout VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:41 Dec 19, 2022 Jkt 259001 programs, including incentives, to best serve protected class groups, vulnerable populations, and other underserved communities? What CDBG–DR rules and requirements, if any, should be modified or eliminated to ensure that grantees advance equity in their community-driven relocation activities? 6. Incorporating Mitigation and Resilience Planning a. Are there CDBG–DR rules, waivers, or alternative requirements, and/or policies that prevent or limit grantees’ focus on mitigating the impacts of climate change, particularly for those areas disproportionately impacted by climate change? If so, please describe. b. How can CDBG–DR’s rules, waivers, or alternative requirements or policies be modified or eliminated to encourage grantees to use CDBG–DR funds to invest in activities that incorporate resilience and mitigate the impacts of climate change? c. What more can HUD do to encourage grantees to integrate longterm disaster recovery and mitigation planning into other existing federal, state, and local planning requirements? 7. Replacing Disaster-damaged Housing Units, Minimizing Displacement, and Incentivizing Affordable Housing Development Should CDBG–DR notices continue to waive and provide alternative requirements for the one-for-one replacement housing requirements at section 104(d)(2)(A)(i) and (ii) and (d)(3) (42 U.S.C. 5304(d)(2)(A)(i) and (i) and (d)(3)) of the HCDA and 24 CFR 42.375 for disaster-damaged owner-occupied lower-income dwelling units that meet the grantee’s definition of ‘‘not suitable for rehabilitation?’’ To expedite recovery, HUD waives this requirement for disaster-damaged owner-occupied units that meet the grantee’s definition for ‘‘not suitable for rehabilitation.’’ CDBG–DR grantees have the discretion to define ‘‘not suitable for rehabilitation,’’ but must include their definition in their action plan for disaster recovery. a. How can CDBG–DR rules, waivers, or alternative requirements be modified or eliminated to ensure that grantees are mitigating natural hazard risks (e.g., sea level rise, high winds, storm surge, flooding, volcanic eruption, and wildfire risk), while also minimizing displacement of members of families, individuals, or entities such as businesses, farms, or nonprofit organizations from their homes and neighborhoods? b. What additional relocation, acquisition, and replacement housing PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 waivers and alternative requirements should HUD consider that would assist and expedite community efforts to reduce future risk while minimizing displacement and ensuring fair treatment and protections to those whose property is acquired or who must move due to a CDBG–DR funded activity? For example, recent CDBG–DR notices waive (and provide alternative requirements to) several provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) (URA), section 104(d) of the HCDA, and related CDBG programmatic requirements. 8. Modifying Green and Resilient Building Codes and Standards. a. Should the Department impose construction standards that require the use of CDBG–DR funds to adhere to current editions of the International Building Code (IBC), International Existing Building Code (IEBC), International Residential Code (IRC), International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), International Fire Code (IFC), ICC 500–14, ICC/NSSA Standard on the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters, and ICC 600–14 Standard for Residential Construction in High-wind Regions? b. Should HUD better align its building code requirements for CDBG– DR and CDBG–MIT with those required by FEMA or other Federal agencies? If so, how? Marion M. McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background With some exceptions, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), prohibits activities that constitute take of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued that allows such activity. The ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes hunting, shooting, harming, wounding, or killing, and also such activities as pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, or collecting. The ESA and our implementing regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17, provide for issuing such permits and require that we invite public comment before issuing permits for activities involving listed species. A recovery permit we issue under the ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or enhance the species’ propagation or survival. These activities often include such prohibited actions as Species Location capture and collection. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    With some exceptions, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), prohibits activities that 
constitute take of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued 
that allows such activity. The ESA's definition of ``take'' includes 
hunting, shooting, harming, wounding, or killing, and also such 
activities as pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, or collecting.
    The ESA and our implementing regulations in the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17, provide for issuing such 
permits and require that we invite public comment before issuing 
permits for activities involving listed species.
    A recovery permit we issue under the ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), 
authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or 
threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or 
enhance the species' propagation or survival. These activities often 
include such prohibited actions as capture and collection. 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.
