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:
Family Options Study: Long-Term
Followup.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0259.
Type of Request: Reinstatement
without change of a previously
approved collection.
Form Number: NA.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
purpose of this proposed information
collection is to locate the families that
enrolled in the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development’s
(HUD) Family Options Study between
September 2010 and January 2012 and
to update their current contact
information.
The Family Options Study is a multi-
site experiment designed to test the
impacts of different housing and service
interventions on homeless families in
five key domains: Housing stability,
family preservation, adult well-being,
child well-being, and self-sufficiency.
Both the design and the scale of the
study provides a strong basis for
conclusions about the relative impacts
of the interventions over time, and data
collected at two previous points in time,
twenty (20) months after random
assignment and thirty-seven (37)
months after random assignment,
yielded powerful evidence regarding the
positive impact of providing a non-time-
limited housing subsidy to a family
experiencing homelessness. It is
possible, though, that some effects of the
various interventions might change over
time or take longer to emerge,
particularly for child well-being.
Therefore, HUD plans to conduct a
followup survey of study families
roughly eleven years after enrollment
into the study. Locating, reengaging, and
updating the contact information for
study families will be critical to
supporting a healthy response rate for
the planned 11-year followup survey.
This Federal Register Notice provides
an opportunity to comment on the
Participant Update Contact Form that
will be used to reengage with study
families and gather updated contact
information.
Respondents: Families enrolled in the
Family Options Study.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
This information collection will affect
2,241 individuals.
Estimated Time per Response:
Completion of the Participant Update
Contact Form is expected to take, on
average, five minutes, or 0.08 hours.
Frequency of Response: The
Participant Update Contact Form will be
completed be each family a single time.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: The estimated total annual
burden of this information collection is
179 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: The
estimated total annual cost for this
information collection is $1,817. The
estimated total annual cost is calculated
by multiplying the total number of
respondent hours (179) by $10.15. The
amount of $10.15 was calculated using
the minimum hourly wage ($7.25) plus
an assumed 40 percent for fringe
benefits.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: The survey is
conducted under Title 12, United States
Code, Section 1701z and Section 3507
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
44, U.S.C., 35, as amended.

Record of Decision for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Deschutes Basin Habitat
Conservation Plan, Klamath,
Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook, Wasco,
and Sherman Counties, Oregon
AGENCY
: Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION
: Notice of availability; record of
decision and habitat conservation plan.
SUMMARY
: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
availability of a record of decision
(ROD) for the proposed issuance of an
Endangered Species Act (ESA) permit
for the Deschutes Basin Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP). The ROD
documents the Service’s decision to
issue an incidental take permit (ITP) to
the Deschutes Basin Board of Control
(DBBC)’s eight-member irrigation
districts, and the City of Prineville
(applicants). As summarized in the
ROD, the Service has selected
Alternative 2—the Proposed Action,
which includes implementation of the
HCP and issuance of a 30-year ITP
authorizing take of two threatened
species listed under the ESA that may
occur incidental to covered activities in
the plan area over the permit term.
ADDRESSES
: You may obtain copies of
the ROD and other documents
associated with the decision by the
following methods.

under Docket No. FWS–R1–ES–2019–

for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
announce the availability of a record of
decision (ROD) for the proposed
issuance of an Endangered Species Act
(ESA) section 10(a)(1)(B) incidental take
permit (ITP) to the Deschutes Basin
Board of Control (DBBC) member
districts (Arnold, Central Oregon, Lone
Pine, North Unit, Ochoco, Swalley,
Three Sisters, and Tumalo Irrigation
Districts) and the City of Prineville
(collectively referred to as the
applicants) in Klamath, Deschutes,
Jefferson, Crook, Wasco, and Sherman
Counties, Oregon. The ROD documents
the Service’s decision to issue an ITP to
the applicants. As summarized in the
ROD, the Service has selected
Alternative 2, the Proposed Action
(described below), which includes
implementation of a Habitat
Conservation Plan (HCP) and issuance
of the ITP authorizing incidental take of
the federally threatened Oregon spotted
frog (Rana pretiosa) and the threatened
bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) over
a 30-year period. The applicants have
also requested a separate ITP covering
take of the federally threatened Middle
Columbia River steelhead trout
(Oncorhynchus mykiss) and the non-
listed sockeye salmon (O. nerka) from
the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS). The Service and NMFS
(jointly, the Services) make independent
decisions regarding coverage for
incidental take of the species under
their respective jurisdictions. NMFS’s
decision is not addressed in the
Service’s ROD.
We are advising the public of the
availability of the ROD, developed in
compliance with agency decision-
making requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA), and the final HCP as
submitted by the applicants. The
Service published a notice of
availability (NOA) of the Draft EIS in the
Federal Register on October 4, 2019 (84
FR 53164), and jointly published a NOA
of the Final EIS with NMFS on
November 6, 2020 (85 FR 71086). All
alternatives were described in detail,
evaluated, and analyzed in the Draft and
Final EIS. As the EIS was developed
prior to the September 14, 2020,
effective date for the Council on
Environmental Quality’s updated NEPA
regulations, the Final EIS and ROD were
completed consistent with the previous
regulations (40 CFR 1506.13).
Background
All eight water districts are quasi-
municipal corporations formed and
operated according to Oregon State law
to distribute water to irrigators (patrons)
within designated geographic
boundaries and in accordance with the
individual water rights held by those
patrons. The City of Prineville operates
City-owned infrastructure and provides
essential services—including public
safety, municipal water supply, and
sewage treatment—for more than 9,000
residents. The applicants have
determined that continued operation of
irrigation and essential services
(covered activities) requires ITPs to
address unavoidable incidental take of
species listed under the ESA (covered
species), which is ongoing.
The applicants have proposed a
conservation program to avoid,
minimize, and mitigate the impacts of
taking of the covered species. The HCP
addresses the adverse effects of the
covered activities on the covered
species by reducing or eliminating those
effects to the maximum extent
practicable, and by mitigating effects
that cannot be eliminated altogether. In
general, adverse effects on listed species
can result from direct harm or injury of
individuals of the species, and through
changes in habitat that interfere with the
essential life activities of the species.
