variation by using the relationship
estimated in the linear regression and
applies this adjustment factor to the
earnings performance measure for each
PHA, resulting in an adjusted Earnings
Performance Measure that is used to
determine the PHA’s score for the
earnings component of the FAM Score.
Going forward, to improve year-to-year
stability of scores, HUD will implement
this adjustment to ensure the average of
the adjusted earnings measure is the
same as the average of the unadjusted
measure.
D. HUD adjusted and clarified how
joint FSS grantees are counted across
years. For each of the three years
included in the measures, calculations
are made at the joint applicant level so
that each PHA in a joint funding group
has the same measure for the year.
Because the component calculations are
made during each of the three years,
joint funding recipients are only
included in a group for the time period
associated with the measure in the
year(s) when they are part of the joint
funding group. As a result, PHAs in
joint FSS programs without stable
agency membership will have members
with different measures and scores
when averaging across all three years of
calculation to produce composite
measures, scores, and components.
E. Using the revised year-year average
score methodology for the baseline year
ending December 31, 2019 (reflecting
the average of scores for 2019, 2018, and
2017), HUD has recalibrated the
thresholds for converting the Earnings
and Graduation measures into scores
and specified the updated thresholds
below. Going forward, these thresholds
will be fixed to allow HUD and PHAs
to gauge the extent to which individual
PHAs and the entire FSS program as a
whole are making progress toward
higher performance levels. The only
exceptions are the thresholds for
determining Earnings Performance
Scores, which shall be adjusted
annually. This annual adjustment will
account for changes in the average
earnings using a custom inflation index
based on the weighted hourly series for
the first (lowest) quartile of wage
earners within the wage growth data
from the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta. This will help ensure that the
thresholds for determining Earnings
Performance Scores keep pace with
wage inflation over time.
III. Revised Thresholds
The following are the updated
thresholds HUD will use to compute a
FAM Score for each PHA.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:49 Nov 14, 2023
Jkt 262001
1. Step One: Assigning Scores to Each
of the Three Measures
In Step One, HUD will assign a score
of 0 to 10 to each PHA’s FSS program
for each of the three measures. Scores
will be assigned using the thresholds
and procedures described below. The
ranges for awarding points between two
values include those values as well as
all intermediary values.
a. Earnings Performance Measure
(50% of final score):
• 10 points: three-year average
Earnings Performance Measure of
$6,315 or higher.
• 7.5 points: three-year average
Earnings Performance Measure between
$4,795 and $6,314.99.
• 0 points: three-year average
Earnings Performance Measure below
$2,283 and a p-value of <.10 on a
statistical test measuring the likelihood
that a PHA’s three-year average Earnings
Performance Measure is significantly
lower than the median measure of
$4,247 (see December 12, 2017 Federal
Register Notice at page 82 FR 58437 for
an explanation of this statistical test).
• 5 points: All PHAs that do not
qualify for a 10, 7.5, or a 0.
• These thresholds will apply to
Earnings Performance Measures for the
2019 audit year, which reflect an
average of Earnings Performance
Measures for the 2017, 2018 and 2019
calendar years. As described above, to
keep pace with inflation, HUD will
adjust the thresholds used to compute
Earnings Performance Scores annually
to reflect changes in the weighted
hourly series for the first (lowest)
quartile of wage earners in the wage
growth data from the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta.
b. FSS Graduation Rate (30% of final
score):
• 10 points: three-year average FSS
Graduation Rate of 42% or higher.
• 7.5 points: three-year average FSS
Graduation Rate between 32% and
41.99%.
• 0 points: FSS Graduation Rate
below 15%.
• 5 points: All PHAs that do not
qualify for a 10, 7.5, or a 0.
c. Participation Rate (20% of final
score):
• 10 points: participation rate of 2.20
or higher.
• 9 points: participation rate between
1.95 and 2.19.
• 8 points: participation rate between
1.70 and 1.94.
• 7 points: participation rate between
1.45 and 1.69.
• 6 points: participation rate between
1.2 and 1.44.
• 5 points: participation rate between
.95 and 1.19.
PO 00000
Frm 00094

Sfmt 4703
• 0 points: participation rate of lower
than .95.
2. Step Two: Developing the Final FAM
Score and Ranking
In Step Two, after computing
individual scores for each of the three
measures, HUD will aggregate each
PHA’s scores using the weights noted
above to develop a final FAM Score
from 0 to 10. Based on this score, HUD
will assign the following ranking to the
PHA’s FAM Score:
• Category 1: FAM Score of 7.9 or
higher.
• Category 2: FAM Score between 4.0
and 7.89.
• Category 3: FAM Score between 3.5
and 3.99.
• Category 4: FAM Score of less than
3.5.

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The requested permits would allow the
applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered under the
ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
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 such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 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.
Permit Applications Available for
Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following
permit requests are for the recovery and
enhancement of propagation or survival
of the species in the wild. The ESA
requires that we invite public comment
before issuing these permits.
Accordingly, we invite local, State,
Tribal, and Federal agencies and the
public to submit written data, views, or
arguments with respect to these
applications. The comments and
recommendations that will be most
useful and likely to influence agency
decisions are those supported by
quantitative information or studies.
