Evaluate accuracy of the agency’s

information:
Title of Proposal: Owner Certification
with HUD’s Tenant Eligibility and Rent
Procedures.
OMB Control Number: 2502–0204.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Department needs to collect this
information in order to establish an
applicant’s eligibility for admittance to
subsidized housing, specify which
eligible applicants may be given priority
over others, and prohibit racial
discrimination in conjunction with
selection of tenants and unit
assignments. The Department must
specify tenant eligibility requirements
as well as how tenants’ incomes, rents
and assistance must be verified and
computed so as to prevent the
Department from making improper
payments to owners on behalf of
assisted tenants. The Department also
must provide annual reports to Congress
and the public on the race/ethnicity and
gender composition of subsidy program
beneficiaries. This information is
essential to maintain a standard of fair
practices in assigning tenants to HUD
Multifamily properties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
Ecosystem goods and services are
defined by ecologists as the biophysical
processes that give rise to social
benefits. For example, in ecology,
processes such as nutrient cycling,
atmospheric regulation, pollination, and
seed dispersal are considered ecosystem
services. Indirect benefits are also
considered; for example, recreation,
avoided flood damage, and aesthetic
benefits are also ecosystem services. In
short, the benefits associated with an
ecosystem service are the value that
humans derive from that service. The
objectives of this survey are to illustrate
the various approaches that are being
used to formulate ecosystem services
projects and the state-of-the-art
processes through which projects are
implemented. The survey will gather
