Abstract

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration is submitting this non-substantive change request in order to bring the demographic questions in line with the OPM issued memorandum titled, "Initial Guidance Regarding President Trump’s Executive Order Defending Women. The only changes were to the questions regarding an individual’s sex to remove to response options and to update the race/ethnicity question for compliance with SPD-15. In considering the expanded format for collecting race and ethnicity information, which includes minimum categories, multiple detailed checkboxes, and write-in response areas with example group categories, we determined that such specificity is not required for our purposes. The primary goal of this information collection is to obtain feedback to learn more about how people hear about and respond to flooding in their community. By simplifying the Race and Ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories (that is format 3, Race and Ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories Only) we can streamline the data collection process and focus on obtaining valuable insights from individuals who have experienced a severe water hazard. This approach allows us to prioritize the feedback and opinions that will directly contribute to improving public outreach and communication.

The Commission adopted final rules governing the exchange of customer account information between local exchange carriers and interexchange carriers. The Commission concluded that mandatory minimum standards are needed in light of record evidence demonstrating that information needed by carriers to execute customer requests and properly bill customers is not being consistently provided by all local exchange carriers and by all interexchange carriers. In December 2007, the Commission declined to adopt mandatory LEC-to-LEC data exchange requirements.

Abstract

OHA exercises the delegated authority of the Secretary of the Interior to conduct hearings and decide appeals from decisions of the bureaus and offices of the Department of the Interior (Department, DOI, Interior). OHA’s hearings and appeals provide administrative process to outside litigants by providing an impartial forum and independent review of bureau and office decisions. OHA review ensures that the Department has an opportunity to correct its own administrative errors, final agency decisions are consistent with law, and, if Department decisions are challenged in federal court, those courts receive fully developed administrative records on which to base judicial review of agency actions.Emergency Justfication:In this interim final rule, OHA will make comprehensive procedural revisions throughout 43 CFR part 4, including additional changes to establish the regulatory framework for electronic filing (including where some appeals are filed), retitling subparts for greater consistency and clarity, consolidating subparts, creating two new subparts, and making the organization of the regulations more logical and concise. Some of the changes will supersede those made in March 2023. While OHA has made language consistent across part 4 where possible, we placed greater emphasis on making the procedures more useable and understandable to those appearing before a particular OHA Unit in a particular type of proceeding.

Abstract

The Case Service Report (RSA-911) is used to collect individual level data on State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program participants on a quarterly basis. The data collected in this report are mandated by section 101(a)(10) and 607 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Act) and section 116(d) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. In addition, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) uses data reported through this collection to support its other responsibilities under the Act. Section 14(a) of the Act calls for the evaluation of programs authorized under the Act, as well as an assessment of the programs’ effectiveness in relation to cost. Many of these evaluations use RSA-911 data. RSA also uses data captured through the RSA-911 during the conduct of both the annual review and periodic on-site monitoring of VR agencies required by section 107 of the Act to examine the effectiveness of program performance. Other important management activities, such as the provision of technical assistance, program planning, and budget preparation and development, are greatly enhanced through the use of RSA-911 data. In addition, RSA uses RSA-911 data in the exchange of data under a data sharing agreement with the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as required by section 131 of the Act. Finally, the RSA-911 is considered to be one of the most robust databases in describing the demographics of the disabled population in the country and as such is used widely in researchers’ disability-related analyses and reports. The current RSA-911 expires on 05/31/2024, which occurs during Program Year 2023 (07/01/2023-06/30/2024). Because RSA must collect the same performance data for the entirety of a Program Year, RSA must begin Program Year 2024 with approval of this proposed revision in place. Thus, RSA is proposing to extend with revisions the RSA-911 for three years. If this revision is approved, VR agencies will collect and report data under this collection for Program Years 2024 through 2026. (07/01/2024-06/30/2027).

Abstract

The purpose of the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) partnership and state applications is to allow partnerships and states to apply for funding under the GEAR UP program. GEAR UP, created in the Higher Education Act Amendments of 1998 (Title IV, Section 404A-404H), is a discretionary grant program which encourages applicants to provide support and maintain a commitment to eligible low-income students, including students with disabilities, to assist the students in obtaining a secondary school diploma and preparing for and succeeding in postsecondary education. GEAR UP provides grants to partnerships and states to provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve an entire cohort of students beginning no later than the seventh grade and follow them through graduation and, optionally, the first year of college. We are requesting a reinstatement without change of the previously approved GEAR UP applications (OMB number 1840-0821). This discretionary grant program falls under the streamlined grant process, 1894-0001, which waives the 60-day comment period.

Abstract

Section 24 of the Federal Deposit Insurance (FDI Act), 12 U.S.C. 1831a, limits investments and other activities in which state banks may engage, as principal, to those permissible for national banks and those approved by the FDIC under procedures set forth in part 362 of the FDIC’s Rules and Regulations, 12 CFR part 362. With certain exceptions, section 24 of the FDI Act limits the activities and investments of state banks to those activities and investments that are permissible for national banks. In addition, the statute prohibits a state bank from directly engaging, as a principal, in any activity or investment that is not permissible for a national bank, or indirectly through a subsidiary in an activity or investment that is not permissible for a subsidiary of a national bank, unless such bank meets its minimum capital requirements and the FDIC determines that the activity or investment does not pose a significant risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The FDIC can make such a determination for exception by regulation or by order. Section 28(a), 12 USC 1831e, similarly limits the investments and activities of state savings associations and their service corporations to those permitted by federal savings associations and their service corporations, absent FDIC approval. Part 362 details the activities that state banks or their subsidiaries may engage in, under certain criteria and conditions and identifies the information that state banks must furnish to the FDIC in order to obtain the FDIC’s approval or non-objection. Part 362 also applies to the activities and investments of state savings associations and their subsidiaries.

Abstract

The Social Security Administration's citizen authentication process enables a new user experience and access to more electronic services. Authentication is the foundation for secure, online transactions. Identity authentication is the process of determining, with confidence, that someone is who he or she claims to be during a remote, automated session. It comprises three distinct factors: something you know, something you have, and something you are. Single-factor authentication uses one of the factors, and multi-factor authentication uses two or more of the factors. Social Security's process features credential issuance, account management, and single- and multi-factor authentication. We allow our users to maintain one User ID, which consists of a self-selected Username and Password, to access multiple Social Security electronic services. This process provides the means for authenticating users of Social Security's sensitive electronic services and streamlines access to those services. The respondents are individuals who choose to use the Internet or Automated Telephone Response System to conduct business with SSA. This is an IT Mod Change Request to finally remove the eAccess option for credentialing from the SSA website. As per our previous change, requiring all new users to register a credential with Login.gov or ID.me, and our more recent approved request to remind current eAccess credential holders that we also need them to register through Login.gov or ID.me, we are finally in the last phase - the removal of the eAccess credential option. All respondents will be able to register or request access to their mySocial Security accounts through either Login.gov or ID.me.
