Abstract

On August 7, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued the Executive Order entitled: “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans” (the “Fair Banking Executive Order”) instructing the SBA, along with there-defined federal banking regulators, to end the practice of politicized or unlawful debanking – the practice where banks and financial services providers, both independently and at the direction of federal regulators, freeze or close accounts, deny loans, and refuse services to politically disfavored people and businesses. The Fair Banking Executive Order imposes an obligation on the SBA to require financial institutions subject to SBA’s jurisdiction and supervision to identify and remedy instances of politicized or unlawful debanking. The SBA consequently must collect related information to ensure its compliance with the Fair Banking Executive Order. Respondents shall provide SBA with a detailed report addressing and evidencing compliance with the requirements listed on the information collection. Lending institutions with under $30 billion in assets that are supervised by a federal banking regulator may comply with this reporting requirement via the template provided on September 30, 2025.

Abstract

The intergovernmental forms are critically important for the effective and efficient processing of child support cases under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 2008. Since enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, section 466(f) of the Social Security Act (Act) has required U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as a condition of receiving federal funds, to enact certain amendments to UIFSA. Section 311(b) of UIFSA requires that a petition and accompanying documents conform substantially with the standard intergovernmental forms mandated by federal law, and 45 CFR 303.7(a)(4) requires state child support agencies to use federally approved forms in intergovernmental cases, unless a country has provided alternative forms in an Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) country-specific caseworker’s guide. All policy references are documented in Attachment 1.

Abstract

Subject to OMB approval, the Commission intends to consolidate this information collection into revised OMB Control No. 3235-0083 and ultimately discontinue this control number. Under Section 15B(c) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(c)), any registered municipal securities dealer may, upon such terms and conditions as the Commission may deem necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors, withdraw from registration by filing a written notice of withdrawal with the Commission. Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 240.15Bc3-1) provides that bank municipal securities dealers that wish to withdraw from registration must file a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110). Rule 15Bc3-1 further provides that, prior to filing a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW, a bank municipal securities dealer must amend Form MSD in accordance with Rule 15Ba2-1(b) (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-1(b)) to update any inaccurate information. The Commission uses information obtained from Form MSDW filings to, among other things, determine whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. Certain provisions of Rule 15Bc3-1 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.

Abstract

EPA adopted the Tier 4 marine diesel engine standards in June 2008, under the authority of the Clean Air Act (73 FR 37096). The Tier 4 standards were phased in, with an effective date beginning in 2016 through 2018 for most engines. In August 2020, EPA amended those regulations in response to industry concerns about the availability of suitable Tier 4 certified engines for installation in certain kinds of high-speed vessels. The amendments provided focused relief for qualifying engines and vessels in two phases, depending on engine and vessel size. Builders of qualifying vessels were required to submit to EPA information describing their need for regulatory relief and demonstrating that their vessels met the size and power conditions. As part of the Phase 2 relief, EPA also adopted a waiver provision that can be applied for, if necessary, beginning in 2024, if suitable engines continue to be unavailable; this waiver requires the vessel builder to submit an application which would be reviewed by EPA before issuing the waiver. This information collection request renewal covers the reporting burden associated with applying for the waiver for vessels meeting the criteria for Phase 2 relief.

Abstract

The Clean Water Act Section 305(b) reports contain information on whether waters assessed by a state meet the states water quality standards, and, when waters are impaired, the pollutants and potential sources affecting water quality. This information helps states and the public track progress in addressing water pollution. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to identify and rank waters that cannot meet water quality standards (WQS) following the implementation of technology-based controls. Under Section 303(d), states are also required to establish total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for listed waters not meeting standards because of pollutant discharges. In developing the Section 303(d) lists, states are required to consider various sources of water quality related data and information, including the Section 305(b) state water quality reports. Section 106(e) requires that states annually update monitoring data and use it in their Section 305(b) report. Section 314(a) requires states to report on the condition of their publicly owned lakes within the Section 305(b) report.

Abstract

The goal of this generic information collection request is to enable CDC/NIOSH to support the effective use of respiratory protection by providing information that may be used to improve the design and implementation of employer-administered programs. Using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) respiratory protection program (RPP) requirements as the foundational framework, this research will assess current perceptions in respirator use as well as gaps in respirator use, maintenance, and implementation. Data collection efforts will seek to 1) determine the perceived knowledge, skills, and uses of respirators among those who wear a respirator as a part of their job and/or those who oversee respirator use, and 2) identify patterns in RPPs and other health and safety programs such as practices and directives that are included or missing to inform new content for improved respirator training, management, and effective, trusted use.
