Title of Information Collection:
Application for Fee or Roster Personnel
(Appraisers) Designation and Appraisal
Reports.
OMB Approval Number: 2502–0538.
Type of Request: This is an extension
of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: HUD 92563–A, HUD
92564–CN.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Accurate
and thorough Appraisal reporting is
critical to the accuracy of underwriting
for the mortgage insurance process. The
need for accuracy is increased for a
Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
insured mortgage since buyers tend to
have more limited income and lower
equity in the properties. This collection
of information provides a more
thorough and complete appraisal of
prospective HUD-insured single-family
properties ensuring that mortgages are
acceptable for FHA insurance and
thereby protect the interest of HUD, the
taxpayers, and the FHA insurance fund.
The collection allows HUD to maintain
an effective appraisal program with the
ability to discipline appraisers and
inform potential homeowners of the
benefits of purchasing an independent
home inspection.

Abstract: Research and monitoring
findings are essential to fulfilling the
USGS’s responsibility under the
Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act to
develop earthquake hazard assessments
and record earthquake activity
nationwide. Residents, emergency
responders, engineers, and the general
public rely on the USGS for this
accurate and scientifically sound
information. The USGS Earthquake
Hazards Program funds external
investigators to carry out these
important activities. In response to our
program announcements, investigators
submit proposals for research and
monitoring activities on earthquake
hazard assessments, earthquake causes
and effects, and earthquake monitoring.
This information is used as the basis for
selection and award of projects meeting
the USGS’s Earthquake Hazards
Program objectives. Final reports of
research and monitoring findings are
required for each funded proposal;
annual progress reports are required for
awards of a two- to five-year duration.
Final reports are made available to the
general public at the website https://
www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquakehazards/science/external-grants.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liablity
Act
On July 16, 2025, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Illinois
in the lawsuit entitled United States v.
State of Illinois, Civil Action No. 25–cv–
8122 [Docket No. 3].
The United States filed this lawsuit
under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA) against
defendant the State of Illinois (State).
The complaint requests recovery of
costs that the United States incurred
responding to releases of hazardous
substances at the NPL–8 subarea of the
Ottawa Radiation Areas Superfund Site
in Ottawa, Illinois. The complaint also
seeks injunctive relief. Under the
consent decree, the State has agreed to
perform valuable in-kind services
relating to the radiation contamination
in support of the remedial action that
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency will be implementing at NPL–8.
These services are valued estimated to
cost approximately $10.49 million. In
return, the United States provides a
covenant not to sue the State under
sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
consent decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to
United States v. State of Illinois, D.J.
Ref. No. 90–11–3–06883/3. All
