NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Product (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart III) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Product (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart III) were proposed on December 27, 1996; promulgated on October 7, 1998; and amended on August 15, 2014 (79 FR 48073), and November 19, 2020 (85 FR 73854). These regulations apply to owners or operators of both new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam products which emit hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This situation includes facilities making slabstock flexible polyurethane foam (slabstock foam), rebond flexible polyurethane foam (rebond foam), and/or molded flexible polyurethane foam (molded foam). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart III. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Owners or operators of flexible polyurethane foam production facilities to which this rule is applicable must choose one of the compliance options described in these standards or reduce HAP emissions to below the compliance level. Specifically, the rule requirements for slabstock foam producers include an initial notification, notification of compliance status, semiannual reports, and annual compliance certifications. The rule requirements for molded and rebond foam producers include a notification of compliance status report and an annual compliance certification. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity and Required Data Elements for the Paternity Establishment Affidavit

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of an approved information collection: Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity and Required Data Elements for the Paternity Establishment Affidavit (OMB #0970-0171). The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing minor changes to the burden estimate as last updated in 2020. Section 466(a)(5)(C) of the Social Security Act requires States to enact laws ensuring a simple civil process for voluntarily acknowledging paternity via an affidavit. The State must provide that, before a mother and putative father can sign a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity, the mother and putative father must be given notice, orally and in writing of the alternatives to, the legal consequences of, and the rights (including any rights, if one parent is a minor, due to minority status) and responsibilities of acknowledging paternity. One affidavit needs to be filled out for each paternity established and the information cannot be provided any less frequently than once to each mother and putative father. The development and use of an affidavit for the voluntary acknowledgment of paternity would include the minimum requirements specified by the Secretary and to give full faith and credit to such an affidavit signed in any other State according to its procedures. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

ACF’s Generic Clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This request by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is to extend approval of the generic clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms with no changes (note that burden estimates have been updated to reflect ongoing collections and estimated future burden, but the purpose and use of this generic have not changed). ACF may recruit reviewers for a variety of different activities and each program office within ACF has a slightly different needs for information about reviewer applicants for different activities. This overarching generic clearance allows ACF to request slightly different information from potential reviewers, yet the individual forms serve the same general function. The abbreviated clearance process of the generic clearance allows program offices to gather a suitable pool of candidates within the varied time periods available for reviewer recruitment. The forms submitted under this umbrella generic are and will be voluntary, low-burden and uncontroversial. Information will be collected electronically unless specified otherwise in an individual generic information collection (GenIC) request. These updates are in response to recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Securities of State Nonmember Banks and State Savings Associations

Key Information

Abstract

Section 12(i) of the Exchange Act grants authority to the Federal banking agencies to administer and enforce Sections 10A(m), 12, 13, 14(a), 14(c), 14(d), 14(f), and 16 of the Exchange Act and Sections 302, 303, 304, 306, 401(b), 404, 406, and 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Pursuant to Section 12(i), the FDIC has the authority, including rulemaking authority, to administer and enforce these enumerated provisions as may be necessary with respect to state nonmember banks and state savings associations over which it has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency. Section 12(i) generally requires the FDIC to issue regulations substantially similar to those issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations to carry out these responsibilities. Thus, Part 335 of the FDIC regulations incorporates by cross-reference the SEC rules and regulations regarding the disclosure and filing requirements of registered securities of state nonmember banks and state savings associations.

Notices Relating to Payment of Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax by Electronic Fund Transfer

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 6302, TTB collects the firearms and ammunition excise tax imposed by 26 U.S.C. 4181 on the basis of a return that taxpayers file on a quarterly basis. Section 6302 also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations concerning the payment of taxes by electronic funds transfer (EFT). Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53, taxpayers who elect to begin or discontinue payment of firearms and ammunition excise taxes by EFT must furnish a written notice to TTB regarding such actions. TTB uses those notifications to anticipate and monitor firearms and ammunition excise tax payments to ensure compliance with the relevant provisions of the IRC.

Patent Review and Derivation Proceedings

Key Information

Abstract

The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which was enacted into law on September 16, 2011, provided for many changes to the procedures of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB” or “Board,” formerly the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences) procedures. These changes included the introduction of inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceedings, and the transitional program for covered business method patents. Under these administrative trial proceedings, third parties may file a petition with the PTAB challenging the validity of issued patents, with each proceeding having different requirements regarding timing restrictions, grounds for challenging validity, and who may request review. Inter partes review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent only on a ground that could be raised under §§ 102 or 103, and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications. Post grant review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent on any ground that could be raised under § 282(b)(2) or (3). A derivation proceeding is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to determine whether (1) an inventor named in an earlier application derived the claimed invention from an inventor named in the petitioner’s application, and (2) the earlier application claiming such invention was filed without authorization. The transitional program for covered business method patents is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a covered business method patent. The covered business method program expired on September 16, 2020 and the Board no longer accepts new petitions related to this program, but continues to accept papers in previously-instituted proceedings. This information collection covers information submitted by the public to petition the Board to initiate an inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceeding, and the transitional program for covered business method patents, as well as any responses to such petitions, and the filing of any motions, replies, oppositions, and other actions, after a review/proceeding has been instituted.

TD 8458, Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits

Key Information

Abstract

Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 860E(e) imposes an excise tax on any transfer of a residual interest in a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) to a disqualified organization. IRC sections 860E(e)(4) and 860E(e)(6)(D) provide relief of the excise tax when the transferee or record holder of the residual interest furnishes an affidavit to the transferor or pass-thru entity stating that they are not a disqualified organization. Treasury Decision (TD) 8458 contains final regulations and guidance relating to the IRC requirements for a REMIC. Treasury Regulations section 1.860E-2(a)(5) requires the REMIC, upon request of the party responsible for the tax liability, to furnish information sufficient to compute the present value of the anticipated excess inclusions. Treasury Regulations sections 1.860E-2(a)(7) and 1.860E-2(b)(2) provide requirements for the affidavits provided by the transferee or record holder of a residual interest in a REMIC as required by IRC sections 860E(e)(4) and 860E(e)(6)(D).

User's Report of Denatured Spirits

Key Information

Abstract

While the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214 allows for the tax-free withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a distilled spirits plant (DSP), 26 U.S.C. 5275 requires persons that procure, deal in, or use specially denatured (SDS), or that recover specially denatured or completely denatured distilled spirits, to maintain records and file reports as required by regulation. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require persons who use or recover SDS or articles, or who use recovered completely denatured spirits or articles, to file a report using form TTB F 5150.18 once annually or when discontinuing business to account for their use of such denatured spirits in specific approved formulas. The collected information accounts for the use of untaxed distilled spirits and is necessary to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.

Certificate of Tax Determination - Wine

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062 authorizes drawback (refund) of the Federal excise tax paid on distilled spirits and wines subsequently exported from the United States, under regulations requiring evidence of the product’s tax payment or determination and exportation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require drawback claims filed by wine exporters to be accompanied by the producer’s or bottler’s certification, filed on form TTB F 5120.20, that the listed wines were produced in the United States and taxpaid or determined upon withdrawal. The collected information is necessary to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied, as it allows TTB to prevent the payment of unverified drawback claims.

Alternate Methods or Procedures and Emergency Variations from Requirements for Alcohol Exports (TTB REC 5170/7)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7805 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue all needful regulations to implement the IRC. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow alcohol exporters to apply for TTB approval of proposed alternate methods or procedures to, or emergency variances from, the requirements of that part, other than the giving of a bond or the payment of tax. Such applications provide alcohol exporters with operational flexibility and allow them to meet emergency circumstances. TTB review of such applications is necessary to determine that the proposed alternative or variance would not jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to any provisions of law, or unduly hinder the effective administration of the relevant TTB regulations.

Applications, Notices, and Relative to Importation and Exportation of Distilled Spirits, Wine, and Beer, Including Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands

Key Information

Abstract

Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) imposes Federal excise taxes on alcohol beverages made in or imported into the United States, while exports of such products from the United States are generally not taxed. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652 applies an equal tax to such products from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands shipped into the United States, and that section also requires the transfer of most of the taxes collected on such products to the treasuries of those two governments. Under its IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 parts 26, 27, and 28 require persons exporting or importing alcohol beverages from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to file certain letterhead applications and notices, and to keep certain records, regarding such activities. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure compliance with Federal laws and regulations. For alcohol beverages exported or imported from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, the required information allows TTB to trace shipments of such products, verify excise tax payments and claims for refunds, and calculate payments due to the treasuries of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Patent Cooperation Treaty

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is required by the provisions of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), which became operational in June 1978 and is administered by the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland. The provisions of the PCT have been implemented by the United States in Part IV of Title 35 of the U.S. Code (Chapters 35-37) and Subpart C of Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations (37 CFR 1.401-1.499). The purpose of the PCT is to provide a standardized filing format and procedure that allows an applicant to seek protection for an invention in several countries by filing one international application in one location, in one language, and paying one initial set of fees. The information in this collection is used by the public to submit a patent application under the PCT and by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to fulfill its obligation to process, search, and examine the application as directed by the treaty. The filing, search, written opinion, and publication procedures are provided for in Chapter I of the PCT. Additional procedures for a preliminary examination of PCT international applications are provided for in optional PCT Chapter II. Under Chapter I, an applicant can file an international application in the national or home office (Receiving Office (RO)) or the IB. The USPTO acts as the United States Receiving Office (RO/US) for international applications filed by residents and nationals of the United States. These applicants send most of their correspondence directly to the USPTO, but they may also file certain documents directly with the IB. The USPTO serves as an International Searching Authority (ISA) to perform searches and issues an international search report (ISR) and a written opinion on international applications. The USPTO also issues an international preliminary report on patentability (IPRP Chapter II) when acting as an International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA). The RO reviews the application and, if it contains all of the necessary information, assigns a filing date to the application. The RO maintains the home copy of the international application and forwards the record copy of the application to the IB and the search copy to the ISA. The IB maintains the record copy of all international applications and publishes them 18 months after the earliest priority date, which is the earliest date for which a benefit is claimed. The ISA performs a search to determine whether there is any prior art relevant to the claims of the international application and will issue an international search report and written opinion as to whether each claim is novel, involves an inventive step, and is industrially applicable. The ISA then forwards the international search report and written opinion to the applicant and the IB. The IB will normally publish the application and search report 18 months after the priority date, unless early publication is requested by the applicant. Until international publication, no third person or national or regional office is allowed access to the international patent application unless so requested or authorized by the applicant. If the applicant wishes to withdraw the application (and does so before international publication), international publication does not take place. Under Chapter II of the Treaty, an applicant who has filed an international application in an RO can demand an international preliminary examination of the application by an IPEA, such as the USPTO. The Demand is made separately from the international application and contains prescribed particulars, language, and form. The International preliminary examination is a second evaluation of the potential patentability of the claimed invention, using the same standards on which the written opinion of the ISA was based. A copy of the examination report is sent to the applicant and to the IB.

NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG) were proposed on May 26, 2000, promulgated on April 12, 2001, and amended on September 1, 2004. Amendments to the NESHAP are being finalized as a result of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA), as discussed below. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities with a vegetable oil production process and that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP), or is collocated with other sources that are individually or collectively a major source of HAP emissions. Vegetable oil production process is defined as a group of continuous process equipment used to remove oil from oilseeds through direct contact with an organic solvent such as n-hexane. The term oilseed refers to the following agricultural products: corn germ, cottonseed, flax, peanut, safflower, soybean, sunflower and rapeseed (source of canola oil). New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG. In general, all NESHAP standards 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 in the operation of an affected facility, 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. The amendments to the rule eliminate the recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM); add work practice standards for initial startup periods; add a requirement for an initial startup report to be submitted at the end of the initial startup period; require electronic reporting for performance test, initial notification, and annual compliance certification; and make miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged.

NESHAP for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (40 CFR part 63, subpart DD) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (OSWRO) apply to existing facilities and new facilities with organic hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions that are involved in waste management and recovery operations, and that are not subject to Federal air standards under other subparts in Part 63. In addition, Subpart DD cross-references control requirements to be applied to specific types of affected sources: tanks level-1; containers; surface impoundments; individual drain systems; oil-water separators; organic water separators; and loading, transfer, and storage systems. New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DD. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification reports, 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 in the operation of an affected facility, 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.

Pre-testing of ACF Data Collection Activities

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks renewal of this generic data collection development clearance to allow us to use samples of more than nine participants in applying methods useful for identifying data collection material and procedural problems, and pretesting questions and procedures. This will allow for identification of solutions and measuring the relative effectiveness of alternative solutions and for identification of appropriate questions to meet the intended purposes and uses of data collection efforts. The ACF Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) studies ACF programs, and the populations they serve, through rigorous research and evaluation projects. These include evaluations of existing programs, evaluations of innovative approaches to helping low-income children and families, research syntheses and descriptive and exploratory studies. This umbrella generic was originally written and has been used for pretesting research and evaluation data collection efforts primarily by OPRE. ACF program offices also collect data for a variety of purposes including but not limited to performance reporting and monitoring of funding recipients; understanding of the populations served including who they are, what their needs are, and how we can serve them better; program and service improvement feedback; research and evaluation; etc. For this reason, ACF proposes to broaden the scope of this generic to include pretesting of data elements used on information collections that are not specifically for research and evaluation. This could be used to inform a variety of data collection efforts in ACF to allow for consistent data requests across program offices that are high quality and appropriate for program office needs and for respondents who represent ACF program populations. This generic clearance will continue to allow us to identify if and when an information collection may be simplified for respondents, respondent burden may be reduced, among other possible improvements. The work completed under this generic is intended to be informative in nature; the studies may be iterative, as variation in questions or procedures are proposed, evaluated, and retested. The pretesting of data collection materials is necessary to improve future ACF information collections, resulting in higher quality data with the best possible utility for the government and its stakeholders, when appropriate. The core methodology and target populations will be consistent and burden caps and token of appreciation structure are proposed in this request. Updates to individual GenICs and the umbrella SSA are currently being submitted to make updates in response to recent presidential actions in 2025.
