Abstract

The Commission is amending part 1, with supporting amendments in parts 1, 22, 30, and 39, to codify via direct application to all FCMs the conditional and time-limited no-action position in CFTC Letter No. 19-17, which allows DCOs to permit FCM clearing members to treat the separate accounts of a single customer as accounts of separate entities for purposes of Commission regulation 39.13(g)(8)(iii). The amendments add for all FCMs a margin adequacy requirement similar to that applied to clearing FCMs by DCOs in regulation 39.13(g)(8)(iii) (prohibiting margin withdrawals if such withdrawals would create or exacerbate an under-margining scenario) and provide for separate account treatment for purposes of the margin adequacy requirement, subject to certain conditions designed to mitigate risk consistent with CEA section 4d(a)(2) and the Commission’s implementing regulations. The amendments add new Commission regulation § 1.44 and new appendix A to part 1 and make supporting amendments to Commission regulations §§ 1.3, 1.17, 1.20, 1.32, 1.58, and 1.73 in part 1, 22.2 in part 22, 30.2 and 30.7 in part 30, and 39.13 in part 39.

Abstract

Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) section 5h sets forth the requirements concerning the registration and operation of swap execution facilities (SEFs), which the Commission has implemented in part 37 of its regulations. The information collections under this Control Number are necessary for the Commission to evaluate whether SEFs, or entities applying to become SEFs, comply with the part 37 regulatory requirements. CFTC regulations require a Swap Execution Facilities (SEF) to provide each counterparty to a swap transaction, whether cleared or uncleared, that is entered into on or pursuant to the rules of the SEF, with a written “confirmation” that contains all of the terms of the transaction. 17 CFR 37.6(b). With respect to an uncleared swap transaction, a SEF may comply with the requirement to include in the confirmation all of the terms of the transaction, by incorporating by reference relevant terms set forth in underlying, previously-negotiated agreements between the counterparties, as long as the SEF has obtained these agreements prior to execution of the transaction. The information is used by the Commission to determine whether SEFs, and applicants seeking registration as a SEF with the Commission, are in compliance with applicable core principles and all other part 37 requirements. The information collection for swap confirmations under § 37.6(b) ensure legal certainty of transactions by requiring SEFs to provide each counterparty to a transaction that is executed on or pursuant to the rules of the SEF with a written record of all of the terms of the transaction which shall legally supersede any conflicting terms of a previous agreement and serve as a confirmation of the transaction.

Abstract

Form 8621 is filed by a U.S. shareholder who owns stock in a foreign investment company. The form is used to report income, make an election to extend the time for payment of tax, and to pay an additional tax and interest amount. Form 8621-A is used by shareholders of a former Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) or a Section 1297(e) PFIC to make a late purging election under IRC Section 1298(b)(1) to terminate their subjection to taxation under Section 1291. The IRS uses Form 8621 and Form 8621-A to determine if these shareholders have correctly reported amounts of income, made the election correctly, and have correctly computed the additional tax and interest amount.

Abstract

Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act specifically requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or “Commission”) to establish certain standards for the registration and governance of swap data repositories (“SDRs”), including regulations regarding SDRs reporting data to the Commission and to the public. In addition to implementing standards governing registration of and statutory duties applicable to SDRs, the CFTC is also required to adopt regulations that mitigate certain conflicts of interest in the operation of these entities and ensure appropriate levels of access by the Commission and certain other regulators to the data maintained by SDRs. The information from this collection is necessary for the Commission to perform its regulatory mandate to provide oversight of the markets and SDRs. Without accurate reporting of the data as set forth in the Commission’s regulations discussed in this statement, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its regulatory mandate of monitoring systemic risk.

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.

Abstract

Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the Commodity Exchange Act requires certain counterparties to submit for clearing certain swaps if they are required to be cleared by the Commission. Commission regulation 50.52 permits certain affiliated entities to elect not to clear certain inter-affiliate swaps that otherwise would be required to be cleared, provided that they meet certain conditions. The rule further requires the reporting of certain information if the inter-affiliate exemption is elected. This collection pertains to information the Commission needs to monitor use of the exemption and assess market risk in connection therewith.

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State-licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several instruments directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The instruments in this information collection allow ORR to provide legal and advocacy services to unaccompanied alien children, as required by the legal authorities that govern the bureau. This request is to remove five forms from this collection, add two new forms, move two forms from different information collections into this collection (with revisions to one of those forms), and revise three existing forms in this collection. The title of this collection has also been updated from “Legal Services for Unaccompanied Children” to “Legal and Advocacy Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children.” Details about requested revisions are described in section A15.

Abstract

This information collection is for conducting a sound response laboratory test, which is called a psychoacoustic test, to better understand human noise response to passenger and equivalent cargo carrying Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft. These AAM aircraft are expected to takeoff and land in closer proximity to communities than conventional aircraft. The aircraft are being designed to use multiple electrically driven rotors. Different AAM aircraft are unique in their design and geometric placement of rotors around the aircraft. The unique propulsion systems of AAM aircraft means that the sounds they produce will also be unique compared to conventional aircraft. Yet, insufficient data exists on how humans will respond to AAM aircraft noise. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeks to gather data on the human noise response to AAM aircraft through the Varied AAM Noise and Geographic Area Response Difference (VANGARD) laboratory test. The VANGARD test will play electronically stored sounds of different single AAM aircraft flyovers to test participants and ask for their annoyance response to each sound. The VANGARD test is one of many initial psychoacoustic tests being planned to gather data for research purposes on AAM vehicle noise response. VANGARD test objectives are not designed to affect existing or proposed aircraft operations, and its objectives are not designed to affect noise policy. One aspect of the VANGARD test that is different from many other psychoacoustic tests on AAM vehicle noise is that it will be conducted using an online test application and gather human response data from geographically diverse participants. By addressing insufficient data on AAM aircraft noise response, VANGARD test results will allow subsequent studies on human noise response to AAM aircraft to be more informed in their design and test objectives.

Abstract

SAMHSA is requesting clearance for eleven data collection instruments and forms related to the implementation and impact studies to be conducted as part of the evaluation. The evaluation will provide new information about how grants support adoption of the CCBHC model, how grants influence sustainable expansion of CCBHC capacities beyond the grant period, and how implementation of the model influences client-level outcomes. An evaluation of the IA and PDI grantees specifically provides an opportunity to examine implementation successes and challenges within each area of the certification criteria among a larger and more diverse group of clinics operating in different state and community contexts. By carefully measuring that context and how it changes over time, the evaluation can provide new information about how factors such as alternative sources of funding and state/community support for the model can influence implementation and outcomes. Finally, this evaluation has an opportunity to assess changes in quality of care and longitudinal client-level health, behavioral health, and functional outcomes.
