Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU) were proposed on May 3, 2011, and promulgated on February 16, 2012. The rule was subsequently amended on: March 24, 2015 (80 FR 15510); April 6, 2017 (82 FR 16736); April 15, 2020 (85 FR 20838); September 9, 2020 (85 FR 55744); and May 7, 2024 (89 FR 38508). This proposed amendment supersedes previous reporting requirements. These regulations apply to each individual or group of two or more new, reconstructed, or existing electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) within a contiguous area and under common control. An EGU is defined as a fossil fuel-fired combustion unit of more than 25 megawatts electric (MWe) that serves a generator that produces electricity for sale, or a fossil fuel-fired unit that cogenerates steam and electricity and supplies more than one-third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 MWe output to any utility power distribution system for sale. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 3, 2011. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU. In general, NESHAP regulations typically require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction for each EGU, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of subpart UUUUU shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records.

Abstract

The National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) is a federally mandated national repository of employment, unemployment insurance, and quarterly wage information submitted by state directories of new hires (SDNH), state workforce agencies (SWA), and federal employers. Collecting NDNH information is necessary to fulfill the federal child support enforcement requirements and to help congressionally authorized state and federal agencies administer certain benefit programs. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) operates the NDNH under 42 U.S.C. § 653(i)(1). The information collection activities pertaining to the NDNH are authorized by: 1) 42 U.S.C. § 653a(b)(2)(A), which requires employers to report all newly hired employees to the SDNH within 20 days after hiring; 2) 42 U.S.C. § 653a(e), which requires states to enter the new hire information into the SDNH within five days of receipt from the employer; 3) 42 U.S.C. § 653a(g)(2)(A), which requires the SDNH to transmit the new hire information to the NDNH within three business days of the data being entered in the SDNH; 4) 26 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(16)(B) and 42 U.S.C. § 503(h)(1)(A), which require state unemployment compensation agencies to report wage and claim information to the NDNH; 5) 42 U.S.C. § 653a(g)(2)(B), which requires the SDNH to report wages and other compensation to the NDNH quarterly; 6) 42 U.S.C. § 653a(b)(1)(C) and 42 U.S.C. § 653a(b)(2)(A), which require federal employers to report all newly hired employees to the NDNH within 20 days after hiring; 7) 42 U.S.C. § 653(n), which requires federal agencies to submit quarterly wages paid to employees during the previous quarter to the NDNH, except for those employees performing intelligence or counterintelligence functions, if the head of the agency determines that such report would endanger the employee or compromise an investigation or intelligence mission; and (8) 42 U.S.C 653a(b)(1)(B), which requires multistate employers to notify the HHS Secretary about the state it designates for submissions. This request is for a revision to the currently approved information collection. Please see A.15 of Supporting Statement A for an explanation about the changes.

Abstract

The goal of this ICR is to collect data to monitor project performance from grantees funded under Essentials for Childhood (EfC): Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences through Data to Action. Information collected from recipients will be used to monitor and evaluate progress of program goals and objectives, identify technical assistance needs, and be accountable for the funding by responding to requests for information about the cooperative agreement. The population studied will include 100% of EfC-funded recipients. Therefore, a sampling method is not required. Recipients will report performance data to CDC annually using a web-based system (i.e., Partners’ Portal). No research design or human subjects involved. Information will be also collected via virtual interview sessions. Quantitative data will be analyzed using descriptive and summary statistics. Qualitative data will be analyzed through thematic analysis to define priority area topics and emerging themes. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted for compliance with recently issued EOs 14168 and 14151. There is no anticipated change to the approved burden.

Abstract

Section 471 under title IV-E of the Social Security Act (the Act) authorizes collection of information through the title IV-E plan (Plan for Foster Care and Adoption Assistance). A title IV–E plan is required from each state, territorial and tribal child welfare agency requesting Federal funding for the title IV-E foster care, adoption assistance and as well as for the optional guardianship assistance, kinship navigator and prevention services programs. Section 479B of the Act provides for an Indian tribe, tribal organization or tribal consortium (tribe) to operate a title IV–E program in the same manner as a state with minimal exceptions. The tribe must have an approved title IV–E Plan. The plan also includes information required for participation in the optional programs authorized by Public Law 115–123, the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA). The FFPSA authorized optional title IV–E funding for time-limited (one year) prevention services for mental health/substance abuse and in-home parent skill-based programs for: (1) A child who is a candidate for foster care (as defined in section 475(13) of the Act), (2) pregnant/parenting foster youth, and (3) the parents/kin caregivers of those children and youth (sections 471(e), 474(a)(6), and 475(13) of the Act). A state or tribal title IV–E agency electing to participate in the program must submit a five-year title IV–E prevention program plan that meets the statutory requirements. See Program Instructions ACYF–CB–PI–18–09 and ACYF–CB–PI–18–10 for more information.) The FFPSA also amended Section 474(a)(7) of the Act to reimburse state and tribal IV–E agencies for a portion of the costs of operating kinship navigator programs that meet certain criteria. To qualify for funding under the title IV– E Kinship Navigator program, the program must meet the requirements of a kinship navigator program described in section 427(a)(1) of the Act. The kinship navigator program must also meet practice criteria of promising, supported, or well-supported in accordance with HHS criteria and be approved by HHS (section 471(e)(4)(C) of the Act). To begin participation in the title IV–E Kinship Navigator Program, a title IV–E agency must submit an attachment to its title IV–E plan that specifies the Kinship Navigator model it has chosen to implement, the date on which the provision of program services began or will begin, and that provides an assurance that the model meets the requirements of section 427(a)(1) of the Act as well as a brief narrative describing how the program will be operated. (Please see Program Instruction ACYF–CB–PI–18–11 for additional information.) This request is necessary to extend approval of the title IV-E plan and incorporate necessary changes to reflect recent changes in statutory, regulatory and policy requirements or options and to remove outdated information. Additional information is provided in section A15 of Supporting Statement A.
