SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Efforts-to-Outcomes (ETO) is being terminated because the ETO system was designed to contain information for a specific population (FEMA eligible referrals) for a specific use and amount of time (DHAP eligible families who worked towards self-sufficiency until program end). ETO system was used for program implementation activities related to the Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP) case management services. DHAP is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) pilot grant program to provide temporary rental subsidies and case management for non-HUD assisted individuals and families displaced by Hurricanes Gustav or Ike. HUD is the servicing agency that administers the DHAP program for FEMA. The program ended in 2011 and once over, none of the records would continue to be active because the information would not be VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:46 Jan 05, 2024 Jkt 262001 eligible for existing HUD or FEMA programs and as such would no longer be needed. Records are no longer maintained by HUD and have run the record retention period and wiped from the system. SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: Effort to Outcomes (ETO).

You may also view the information collection request (ICR) at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/ do/PRAMain. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. On February 9, 2023, we published in the Federal Register (88 FR 8380) a proposed rule (RIN 1018–BF99) containing a notice of our intent to request that OMB approve the existing and new information collections contained in that rulemaking. We solicited comments for 60 days, ending on April 10, 2023. We received one comment addressing the information collection requirements contained in that proposed rule, which will be addressed in the submission to OMB associated with the final rule. The Service plans to publish the associated final rule, which will request OMB approval of the new information collections, in the spring of 2024. However, due to this collection expiring before the anticipated publication of that final rule, we are now requesting that OMB approve an extension, without change, to this collection, to ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 939 this collection to extend the current expiration date. As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other Federal agencies on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the following: (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether or not the information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of response. Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Abstract: The Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) provides a means to conserve the ecosystems upon which endangered and threatened species depend, to provide a program for the conservation of these endangered and threatened species, and to take the appropriate steps that are necessary to bring any endangered or threatened species to the point where measures provided for under the ESA are no longer necessary. Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA authorizes us to issue permits for otherwise prohibited activities in order to enhance the propagation or survival of the affected species. Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA authorizes us to issue permits if the taking is incidental to the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity. ESA section 10(d) requires that such permits be applied for in good faith and, if granted, that the E:\FR\FM\08JAN1.SGM 08JAN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,

Background

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
