The program leverages significant technological advancements in utility efficiency and adds a focus on preparing for climate hazards—both reducing residents’ and properties’ exposure to hazards and protecting life, livability, and property when disaster strikes. With its dual focus, GRRP is the first program to consider, at the national scale, how best to approach both green and energy efficiency upgrades simultaneously with investment in climate resilience strategies in multifamily housing. HUD is taking a multi-faceted approach to deploy these funds multiple funding rounds and for properties at different development stages. Funding under this program will be made through multiple cohorts under one or multiple Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) that will detail the application process for eligible applicants. This collection is necessary in order to receive applications requesting funding under this program and to complete processing requirements for multifamily owners selected under one of the GRRP cohorts (Elements, Leading Edge & Comprehensive). Documents will include information an owner may need to collect, maintain, or submit to ensure GRRP programmatic and statutory compliance with eligibility requirements and documentation required for HUD approval of any legal and financial obligations including: • Award eligibility requirements as described in the GRRP Notices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security 
(DHS), on behalf of the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF), is 
announcing the publication of the updated UFLPA Entity List, a 
consolidated register of the four lists required to be developed and

[[Page 65375]]

maintained pursuant to section 2(d)(2)(B) of the Uyghur Forced Labor 
Prevention Act (Pub. L. 117-78) (UFLPA), to https://www.dhs.gov/uflpa-entity-list. The UFLPA Entity List is available as an appendix to this 
notice. This update adds three entities to the section 2(d)(2)(B)(ii) 
list of the UFLPA, which identifies entities working with the 
government of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to recruit, 
transport, transfer, harbor or receive forced labor or Uyghurs, 
Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of other persecuted groups out of the 
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. This update also adds three entities 
(including one of the entities mentioned above) to the section 
2(d)(2)(B)(v) list of the UFLPA, which identifies facilities and 
entities that source material from Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region or 
from persons working with the government of Xinjiang or the Xinjiang 
Production and Construction Corps for purposes of the ``poverty 
alleviation'' program or the ``pairing-assistance'' program or any 
other government labor scheme that uses forced labor. Future revisions 
to the UFLPA Entity List, which may include additions, removals or 
technical corrections, will be published to https://www.dhs.gov/uflpa-entitylist and in the appendices of future Federal Register notices. 
See appendix 1.
    Beginning on June 21, 2022, the UFLPA requires the Commissioner of 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to apply a rebuttable presumption 
that goods mined, produced, or manufactured by entities on the UFLPA 
Entity List are made with forced labor, and therefore, prohibited from 
importation into the United States under 19 U.S.C. 1307. See section 
3(a) of the UFLPA. As the FLETF revises the UFLPA Entity List, 
including by making additions, removals, or technical corrections, DHS, 
on its behalf, will post such revisions to the DHS UFLPA website 
(https://www.dhs.gov/uflpa-entity-list) and also publish the revised 
UFLPA Entity List as an appendix to a Federal Register notice.

Background

A. The Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force

    Section 741 of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement 
Implementation Act established the FLETF to monitor United States 
enforcement of the prohibition under section 307 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1307). See 19 U.S.C. 4681. Pursuant to DHS 
Delegation Order No. 23034, the DHS Under Secretary for Strategy, 
Policy, and Plans serves as Chair of the FLETF, an interagency task 
force that includes the Department of Homeland Security, the Office of 
the U.S. Trade Representative, and the Departments of Labor, State, 
Justice, the Treasury, and Commerce (member agencies).\1\ See 19 U.S.C. 
4681; Executive Order 13923 (May 15, 2020). In addition, the FLETF 
includes six observer agencies: the Departments of Energy and 
Agriculture, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the 
National Security Council, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as the FLETF 
Chair, has the authority to invite representatives from other 
executive departments and agencies, as appropriate. See Executive 
Order 13923 (May 15, 2020). The U.S. Department of Commerce is a 
member of the FLETF as invited by the Chair.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act: Preventing Goods Made With 
Forced Labor in the People's Republic of China From Being Imported Into 
the United States

    The UFLPA requires, among other things, that the FLETF, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Commerce and the Director of 
National Intelligence, develop a strategy (UFLPA section 2(c)) for 
supporting enforcement of section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, to 
prevent the importation into the United States of goods, wares, 
articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in 
part with forced labor in the People's Republic of China. As required 
by the UFLPA, the Strategy to Prevent the Importation of Goods Mined, 
Produced, or Manufactured with Forced Labor in the People's Republic of 
China, which was published on the DHS website on June 17, 2022 (see 
https://www.dhs.gov/uflpa-strategy), includes the initial UFLPA Entity 
List, a consolidated register of the four lists required to be 
developed and maintained pursuant to the UFLPA. See UFLPA Section 
2(d)(2)(B).

C. UFLPA Entity List

    The UFLPA Entity List addresses distinct requirements set forth in 
clauses (i), (ii), (iv), and (v) of section 2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA 
that the FLETF identify and publish the following four lists:
    (1) a list of entities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region 
that mine, produce, or manufacture wholly or in part any goods, wares, 
articles, and merchandise with forced labor;
    (2) a list of entities working with the government of the Xinjiang 
Uyghur Autonomous Region to recruit, transport, transfer, harbor or 
receive forced labor or Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of other 
persecuted groups out of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region;
    (3) a list of entities that exported products made by entities in 
lists 1 and 2 from the People's Republic of China into the United 
States; and
    (4) a list of facilities and entities, including the Xinjiang 
Production and Construction Corps, that source material from the 
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region or from persons working with the 
government of Xinjiang or the Xinjiang Production and Construction 
Corps for purposes of the ``poverty alleviation'' program or the 
``pairing-assistance'' program or any other government-labor scheme 
that uses forced labor.
    The UFLPA Entity List is a consolidated register of the above four 
lists. In accordance with section 3(e) of the UFLPA, effective June 21, 
2022, entities on the UFLPA Entity List (listed entities) are subject 
to the UFLPA's rebuttable presumption that products they produce, 
wholly or in part, are prohibited from entry into the United States 
under 19 U.S.C. 1307. The UFLPA Entity List is described in appendix 1 
to this notice. The UFLPA Entity List should not be interpreted as an 
exhaustive list of entities engaged in the practices described in 
clauses (i), (ii), (iv), or (v) of section 2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA.
    Revisions to the UFLPA Entity List, including all additions, 
removals, and technical corrections, will be published on the DHS UFLPA 
website (https://www.dhs.gov/uflpa-entity-list) and as an appendix to a 
notice that will be published in the Federal Register. See appendix 1. 
The FLETF will consider future additions to, or removals from, the 
UFLPA Entity List based on criteria described in clauses (i), (ii), 
(iv), or (v) of Section 2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA. Any FLETF member 
agency may submit a recommendation(s) to add, remove or make technical 
corrections to an entry on the UFLPA Entity List. FLETF member agencies 
will review and vote on revisions to the UFLPA Entity List accordingly.
Additions to the Entity List
    The FLETF will consider future additions to the UFLPA Entity List 
based on the criteria described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), or (v) of 
section 2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA. Any FLETF member agency may submit a 
recommendation to the FLETF Chair to add an entity to the UFLPA Entity 
List. Following review of the recommendation by the FLETF member

[[Page 65376]]

agencies, the decision to add an entity to the UFLPA Entity List will 
be made by majority vote of the FLETF member agencies.
Requests for Removal From the Entity List
    Any listed entity may submit a request for removal (removal 
request) from the UFLPA Entity List along with supporting information 
to the FLETF Chair at [email protected]. In the removal 
request, the entity (or its designated representative) should provide 
information that demonstrates that the entity no longer meets or does 
not meet the criteria described in the applicable clause ((i), (ii), 
(iv), or (v)) of section 2(d)(2)(B) of the UFLPA. The FLETF Chair will 
refer all such removal requests and supporting information to FLETF 
member agencies. Upon receipt of the removal request, the FLETF Chair 
or the Chair's designated representative may contact the entity on 
behalf of the FLETF regarding questions on the removal request and may 
request additional information. Following review of the removal request 
by the FLETF member agencies, the decision to remove an entity from the 
UFLPA Entity List will be made by majority vote of the FLETF member 
agencies.
    Listed entities may request a meeting with the FLETF after 
submitting a removal request in writing to the FLETF Chair at 
[email protected]. Following its review of a removal 
request, the FLETF may accept the meeting request at the conclusion of 
the review period and, if accepted, will hold the meeting prior to 
voting on the entity's removal request. The FLETF Chair will advise the 
entity in writing of the FLETF's decision on its removal request. While 
the FLETF's decision on a removal request is not appealable, the FLETF 
will consider new removal requests if accompanied by new information.

Under Secretary, Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans, U.S. Department 
of Homeland Security.

Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to recruit, transport, transfer, 
harbor, or receive Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of other 
persecuted groups out of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The

Entity List described in section 2(d)(2)(B)(ii).
    Xinjiang Tengxiang Magnesium Products Co., Ltd. is a company based

Products Co., Ltd. sources material, specifically the raw materials 
required to produce magnesium, such as coal and dolomite, from the 
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The FLETF therefore determined that
