SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Evaluation of the HUD Youth
Homelessness Demonstration Project
Evaluation.
OMB Approval Number: 2528—New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
purpose of the Youth Homelessness
Demonstration Project Evaluation
(YHDE), by the Office of Policy
Development and Research, at the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), is to assess the
progress and results of the 2017 YHDP
grantee communities in developing and
executing a coordinated community
approach to preventing and ending
youth homelessness. YHDP grant funds
help communities to work with youth
advisory boards, child welfare agencies,
and other community partners to create
comprehensive community plans to end
youth homelessness; these
comprehensive plans are a major focus
for the grantees in the first grant year.
The grant funding is used for a variety
of housing options, including rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing,
and transitional housing, as well as
innovative programs. YHDP also will
support youth-focused performance
measurement and coordinated entry
systems. In order to obtain a clear
picture of YHDP grant activities, this
longitudinal, multi-level evaluation will
measure activities and progress of
grantees essential to building and
sustaining effective community change.
Data collection will occur during two
evaluation components with each
component including data collection
activities and analyses. These
components include two waves of a
web-based survey of Continuums of
Care, and site visits with each
demonstration community and the three
selected comparison sites.
Component one, a web-based survey
of Continuums of Care (CoCs) in the
U.S. will be administered twice, in
Years 1 and 4 of the evaluation, to all
CoC program directors across the
country excluding the 10 YHDP grantees
and three comparison communities, for
a total of 400 survey participants each

18328

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2018 / Notices

wave. These data will provide an
understanding of system developments
occurring across the country and
provide a comparative basis for
understanding the demonstration
communities. The survey will ask
questions about the nature and capacity
of the prevention and crisis approaches
in place, the housing and service
solutions, and the strategies for
screening and assessing youth. It will
focus on understanding the
coordination and collaboration between
the homeless assistance system and
mainstream service systems, as well as
whether and how the system prioritizes
and coordinates referrals to the different
programs.

The second data collection
component is comprised of site visits
which will be conducted with each
demonstration community and the three
comparison non-grantee CoCs. The site
visits will include interviews with key
informants, with project technical
assistance (TA) providers, and youth, as
well as focus groups with different
subgroups of youth. The site visit guide
will describe data collection procedures
to be followed to ensure rigor and
consistency across site visit teams. The
first site visit will be conducted as soon
as OMB approval is received to collect
information while grantees are
developing their coordinated
community plans. The second site visit

will be conducted in early 2019 to
explore how the plans are being
implemented, as well as barriers to or
facilitators of change. The third and
final site visits will be scheduled after
community plans have been in effect for
at least one year (mid-2020).
Respondents: Continuum of Care Lead
Agency contacts, key community
partners, TA provider staff and youth
with interaction with CoCs.
Estimated total number of hours
needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response,
hours of response, and cost of response

Marine Mammals; Letters of
Authorization To Take Pacific Walrus
and Polar Bears in the Beaufort and
Chukchi Seas, Alaska
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of issuance.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service has issued Letters of
Authorization for the nonlethal take of
polar bears and Pacific walruses
incidental to oil and gas industry
exploration, development, and
production activities in the Beaufort Sea
and the adjacent northern coast of
Alaska and incidental to oil and gas
industry exploration activities in the
Chukchi Sea and the adjacent western
coast of Alaska. These Letters of
Authorization stipulate conditions and
methods that minimize impacts to polar
bears and Pacific walruses from these
activities.

SUMMARY:

These letters of
authorization are available
electronically at the following location:
http://www.fws.gov/alaska/fisheries/
mmm/itr.htm.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Christopher Putnam at the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Marine Mammals
Management Office, 1011 East Tudor
Road, MS 341, Anchorage, Alaska
99503; (800) 362–5148 or (907) 786–
3844.
ADDRESSES:

On August
5, 2016, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service published in the Federal
Register a final rule (81 FR 52276)
establishing regulations that allow us to
authorize the nonlethal, incidental,
unintentional take of small numbers of
polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and
Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus
divergens) during year-round oil and gas
industry exploration, development, and
production activities in the Beaufort Sea
and adjacent northern coast of Alaska.
The rule established subpart J in part 18
of title 50 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) and is effective
through August 5, 2021. The rule
prescribed a process under which we
issue Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to
applicants conducting activities as
described under the provisions of the
regulations. This rule replaced a similar
rule, published on August 3, 2011 (76
FR 47010), which expired on August 3,
2016, and likewise prescribed a process
under which we issued such LOAs.
Each LOA stipulates conditions or
methods that are specific to the activity
and location. Holders of LOAs must use
methods and conduct activities in a
manner that minimizes to the greatest
extent practicable adverse impacts on
Pacific walruses and polar bears and
their habitat, and on the availability of
these marine mammals for subsistence
purposes. Intentional take and lethal
incidental take are prohibited.
In accordance with section
101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361
et seq.) and our regulations at 50 CFR
part 18, subpart J, we issued LOAs to
each of the following companies in the
Beaufort Sea and adjacent northern
coast of Alaska:
