BILLING CODE 4140-01-M DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY National Protection and Programs Directorate, Office of Infrastructure Protection, Submission for Review Chemical Security Assessment Tool

(CSAT)Information Collection 1670-0007 AGENCY: National Protection and Programs Directorate, DHS. ACTION: 60-Day Notice and request for comments: Revision of an existing information collection request 1670-0007, DHS Forms 9010, 9002, 9007, 9012, and 9015. SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Under Secretary for National Protection and Programs Directorate, Office of Infrastructure Protection, Chemical Security Compliance Division

(CSCD)has submitted the following information collection request

(ICR)to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until January 22, 2008. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1. ADDRESSES: Comments and questions about this Information Collection Request should be forwarded to the Office of Infrastructure Protection, Attn: Matthew Bettridge, Department of Homeland Security, NPPD/OIP/CSCD Mail Stop 8100, DHS, Washington, DC 20528. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Office of Infrastructure Protection, Attn: Matthew Bettridge, Department of Homeland Security, NPPD/OIP/CSCD Mail Stop 8100, DHS, Washington, DC 20528. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 550 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007, Pub. L. 109-295 (Section 550), directed the Department of Homeland Security to promulgate and enforce regulations to enhance the security of the nation's high risk chemical facilities. On April 9, 2007, the Department issued an Interim Final Rule, implementing this statutory mandate. (72 FR 17688). Section 550 requires a risk-based approach to security. To facilitate this approach, the Department is employing a risk assessment methodology known as the Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT). The CSAT is a series of public web-based computer applications: Help Desk, User Registration, Top-Screen, Security Vulnerability Assessment, Site Security Plan, and Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information

(CVI)Authorization. All information collected supports the Department's effort to reduce the risk of a successful terrorist attack against chemical facilities. These CSAT collections either directly or indirectly support the identification of high risk facilities, the determination of the risk tiers of the facilities, the review and approval of assessments and plans for security measures at the facilities, and/or the protection of Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information that would, if disclosed, substantially assist terrorists in planning and targeting the facilities. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments which: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. 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 submissions of responses.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This Notice identifies unutilized, underutilized, excess, and surplus Federal property reviewed by HUD for suitability for possible use to assist the homeless. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Ezzell, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 7266, Washington, DC 20410; telephone

(202)708-2565 (these telephone numbers are not toll-free), or call the toll-free Title V information line at 800-927-7588. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11411), as amended, HUD is publishing this Notice to identify Federal buildings and other real property that HUD has reviewed for suitability for use to assist the homeless. The properties were reviewed using information provided to HUD by Federal landholding agencies regarding unutilized and underutilized buildings and real property controlled by such agencies or by GSA regarding its inventory of excess or surplus Federal property. This Notice is also published in order to comply with the December 12, 1988 Court Order in *National Coalition for the Homeless* v. *Veterans Administration* , No. 88-2503-OG (D.D.C.). Properties reviewed are listed in this Notice according to the following categories: Suitable/available, suitable/unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and unsuitable. The properties listed in the three suitable categories have been reviewed by the landholding agencies, and each agency has transmitted to HUD:

(1)Its intention to make the property available for use to assist the homeless,

(2)its intention to declare the property excess to the agency's needs, or

(3)a statement of the reasons that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use as facilities to assist the homeless. Properties listed as suitable/available will be available exclusively for homeless use for a period of 60 days from the date of this Notice. Where property is described as for “off-site use only” recipients of the property will be required to relocate the building to their own site at their own expense. Homeless assistance providers interested in any such property should send a written expression of interest to HHS, addressed to John Hicks, Division of Property Management, Program Support Center, HHS, room 5B-17, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857;

(301)443-2265. (This is not a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the interested provider an application packet, which will include instructions for completing the application. In order to maximize the opportunity to utilize a suitable property, providers should submit their written expressions of interest as soon as possible. For complete details concerning the processing of applications, the reader is encouraged to refer to the interim rule governing this program, 24 CFR part 581. For properties listed as suitable/to be excess, that property may, if subsequently accepted as excess by GSA, be made available for use by the homeless in accordance with applicable law, subject to screening for other Federal use. At the appropriate time, HUD will publish the property in a Notice showing it as either suitable/available or suitable/unavailable. For properties listed as suitable/unavailable, the landholding agency has decided that the property cannot be declared excess or made available for use to assist the homeless, and the property will not be available. Properties listed as unsuitable will not be made available for any other purpose for 20 days from the date of this Notice. Homeless assistance providers interested in a review by HUD of the determination of unsuitability should call the toll free information line at 1-800-927-7588 for detailed instructions or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the address listed at the beginning of this Notice. Included in the request for review should be the property address (including zip code), the date of publication in the **Federal Register** , the landholding agency, and the property number. For more information regarding particular properties identified in this Notice ( *i.e.* , acreage, floor plan, existing sanitary facilities, exact street address), providers should contact the appropriate landholding agencies at the following addresses: ARMY: Ms. Veronica Rines, Department of the Army, Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management, Attn: DAIM-ZS, Rm 8536, 2511 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Arlington, VA 22202;

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Charlotte County Board of Commissioners (Applicant) requests an incidental take permit

(ITP)pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended

(Act)for the take of the Florida scrub-jay ( *Aphelocoma coerulescens* ) (scrub-jay). The Applicant anticipates taking 84.2 acres of occupied scrub-jay breeding, foraging, and sheltering habitat, incidental to otherwise lawful activities of road construction and community redevelopment (Projects) in Charlotte County, Florida. The development of this habitat is expected to result in the take of 11 families of scrub-jays. The Applicant's habitat conservation plan

(HCP)describes the mitigation and minimization measures proposed to address the effects of the Projects to the scrub-jay. These measures are outlined in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. DATES: Written comments on the ITP application, HCP, and environmental assessment

(EA)should be sent to the Fish and Wildlife Service's Regional Office (see ADDRESSES ) and should be received on or before January 22, 2008. ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review the ITP application, EA, and HCP may obtain a copy by writing the Fish and Wildlife Service's Southeast Regional Office. Please reference permit number TE135674-0 in such requests. Documents will also be available for public inspection by appointment during normal business hours at the Regional Office, 1875 Century Boulevard, Suite 200, Atlanta, Georgia 30345, or the South Florida Ecological Services Office, Fish and Wildlife Service, 1339 20th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960-3559. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Dell, Regional Permit Coordinator, Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Office (see ADDRESSES ), telephone: 404/679-7313, facsimile 404/679-7081; or Mr. George Dennis, Ecologist, South Florida Ecological Services Office (see ADDRESSES ), *telephone:* 772/562-3909 ext. 309, facsimile 772/562-4288. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you wish to comment, you may submit written comments by any one of several methods. Please reference permit number TE135674-0 in such comments. You may mail comments to the Fish and Wildlife Service's Regional Office (see ADDRESSES ). You may also comment via the Internet to *david_dell@fws.gov* . Please include your name and return address in your Internet message. If you do not receive a confirmation from us that we have received your internet message, contact us directly at either telephone number listed above (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT ). Finally, you may hand deliver comments to either Fish and Wildlife Service office listed above (see ADDRESSES ). Our practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review during regular business hours. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address from the administrative record. We will honor such requests to the extent allowable by law. There may also be other circumstances in which we would withhold from the administrative record a respondent's identity, as allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold your name and address, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comments. We will not, however, consider anonymous comments. We will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public inspection in their entirety. The scrub-jay is geographically isolated from other species of scrub-jays found in Mexico and the western United States. The scrub-jay is found exclusively in peninsular Florida and is restricted to xeric uplands (predominately in oak-dominated scrub). Increasing urban and agricultural development has resulted in habitat loss and fragmentation that has adversely affected the distribution and numbers of scrub-jays. The total estimated population is between 7,000 and 11,000 individuals. Four Projects are proposed including three road extensions at Winchester Boulevard, Edgewater Drive, and Solomon Drive, and a community redevelopment project at Murdock Village. All Projects are within the previously subdivided, partly developed urban areas of Charlotte County. The Applicant has identified 11 scrub-jay families within the Project areas. The four Projects are expected to destroy 84.2 acres of occupied scrub-jay habitat. Scrub-jays using the Project areas are part of two scrub-jay metapopulations in Charlotte County: The Sarasota-western Charlotte metapopulation, which occurs on the Cape Haze peninsula, and the northwestern Charlotte metapopulation, which occurs between the Myakka and Peace Rivers. The continued persistence of scrub-jays in this area may be dependent on the maintenance of suitable habitat and the restoration of unsuitable habitat. Construction of the Projects will result in harm to scrub-jays, incidental to the carrying out of these otherwise lawful activities. Habitat alteration associated with the proposed road construction and community redevelopment will reduce the availability of nesting, foraging, and sheltering habitat for 11 families of scrub-jays. The Applicant proposes to mitigate take of scrub-jays by preserving, restoring, and managing in perpetuity 275 acres of scrub-jay habitat within the affected scrub-jay meta-populations. The Fish and Wildlife Service has made a preliminary determination that issuance of the requested ITP is not a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the meaning of Section 102(2)(C) of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This preliminary information may be revised due to public comment received in response to this notice and is based on information contained in the EA and HCP. The Fish and Wildlife Service will evaluate the HCP and comments submitted thereon to determine whether the ITP application meets the requirements of section 10(a) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ). If the Fish and Wildlife Service determines that those requirements are met, an ITP will be issued for the incidental take of the Florida scrub-jay. The Fish and Wildlife Service will also evaluate whether issuance of this section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies with section 7 of the Act by conducting an intra-Service section 7 consultation. The results of this consultation, in combination with the above findings, will be used in the final analysis to determine whether or not to issue the ITP. This notice is provided pursuant to section 10 of the Endangered Species Act and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). Dated: October 26, 2007. Cynthia K. Dohner, Acting Regional Director, Southeast Region. [FR Doc.

The construction of a single family residence on approximately 0.75 acres of the 2.67-acre lot will eliminate less than one acre of GCWA habitat and indirectly impact less than four additional acres of habitat. The original permit included, and the Applicant has already provided $1,500 to the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve to mitigate impacts to the GCWA. This money will be used by the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve to acquire additional GCWA habitat. The Applicant has agreed to follow all other existing permit terms and conditions. If renewed, all of the permit terms and conditions will remain the same, and no additional take will be authorized. Section 9 of the Act prohibits the “taking” of threatened or endangered species. However, the Service, under limited circumstances, may issue permits to take threatened and endangered wildlife species incidental to, and not the purpose of, otherwise lawful activities. We provide this notice under section 10(c) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ) and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22), and the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4371 *et seq.* ) and its implementing regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the availability of an incidental take permit

(ITP)and Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The Carlisle Group (applicant) requests an ITP pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The applicant anticipates taking about 12.72 acres of Florida scrub-jay ( *Aphelocoma coerulescens* ) (scrub-jay) foraging, sheltering, and nesting habitat incidental to lot preparation for the construction of a multiple-family apartment complex and supporting infrastructure in Charlotte County, Florida (project). The applicant's HCP describes the mitigation and minimization measures proposed to address the effects of the project on the scrub-jay. DATES: We must receive your written comments on the ITP application and HCP on or before December 24, 2007. ADDRESSES: See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for information on how to submit your comments on the ITP application and HCP. You may obtain a copy of the ITP application and HCP by writing the South Florida Ecological Services Office, *Attn:* Permit number TE168754-0, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1339 20th Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960-3559. In addition, we will make the ITP application and HCP available for public inspection by appointment during normal business hours at the above address. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Trish Adams, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, South Florida Ecological Services Office (see ADDRESSES ); telephone:

(772)562-3909, ext. 232. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you wish to comment on the ITP application and HCP, you may submit comments by any one of the following methods. Please reference permit number TE168754-0 in such comments. 1. Mail or hand-deliver comments to our South Florida Ecological Services Office address (see ADDRESSES ). 2. E-mail comments to *trish_adams@fws.gov* . If you do not receive a confirmation that we have received your e-mail message, contact us directly at the telephone number listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comments, 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. Multiple-family apartment complex construction for the applicant's HCP will take place within Sections 04 and 5, Township 40, Range 23, Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, Florida, at the lot identified by property identification number 00952621460004. This lot is within scrub-jay-occupied habitat. The lot encompasses about 20.11 acres. The project will be constructed in two phases. Phase I consists of construction on 5.08 acres of the western 12.47 acres, and Phase II consists of the eastern 7.64 acres. Phase II construction is not expected to begin until Phase I is complete. The applicant proposes to place 2.85 acres of occupied scrub-jay habitat located in Phase I under a perpetual conservation easement. In order to minimize take on site, the applicant has reduced the site plan, will clear vegetation outside of the scrub-jay nesting season (March 1 through June 30) or will conduct a nest survey prior to vegetation clearing, and will landscape with native vegetation. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the loss of 12.72 acres of scrub-jay habitat by acquiring 25.44 acres of credit at a Service approved scrub-jay conservation bank, or contributing a total of $569,417 to the Florida Scrub-jay Conservation Fund administered by The Nature Conservancy for Phase I impacts and an amount determined by multiplying 15.28 acres and the cost per acre determined by the Florida Scrub-jay Conservation Fund at the time of Phase II impacts. Funds in the Florida Scrub-jay Conservation Fund are earmarked for use in the conservation and recovery of scrub-jays and may include habitat acquisition, restoration, and/or management. We have determined that the applicants' proposal, including the proposed mitigation and minimization measures, will have a minor or negligible effect on the species covered in the HCP. Therefore, the ITP is a “low-effect” project and qualifies as a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as provided by the Department of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2 Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1). Low-effect HCPs are those involving

(1)minor or negligible effects on federally listed or candidate species and their habitats and

(2)minor or negligible effects on other environmental values or resources. Based on our review of public comments that we receive in response to this notice, we may revise this preliminary determination. We will evaluate the HCP and comments submitted thereon to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a) of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ). If we determine that the application meets the requirements, we will issue the ITP for incidental take of the scrub-jay. We will also evaluate whether issuance of the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies with section 7 of the Act by conducting an intra-Service section 7 consultation. We will use the results of this consultation, in combination with the above findings, in the final analysis to determine whether or not to issue the ITP. Authority: We provide this notice pursuant to Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 *et seq.* ) and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). Dated: November 1, 2007.
