Abstract

NIOSH is charged with developing reasonable estimates of the radiation doses incurred occupationally by U.S. nuclear weapons workers with cancer that are covered by the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. These radiation dose reconstructions are completed using methods promulgated by HHS under 42 CFR 82. An essential data source for completing the dose reconstructions is the information collected through structured telephone interviews conducted with claimants, who may be energy employees or surviving family members. In some cases, if necessary, co-workers of the employee are interviewed. These individuals may have unique knowledge of work conditions, radiation protection measures, and monitoring practices that are not available from other sources. At the completion of the dose reconstruction process, claimants review the estimated radiation dose, and signify that they have no more relevant information to offer by submitting a conclusion form (OCAS-1). This Extension requests OMB approval for an additional three years. There are no changes to the information collection instruments or burden on respondents.

Abstract

When a Social Security beneficiary or claimant reports work outside the United States, SSA uses Form SSA 7163 to determine if foreign work deductions are applicable. Specifically, SSA uses Form SSA-7163 to determine: (1) whether work performed by beneficiaries outside the United States is cause for deductions from their monthly benefits; (2) which of two work tests (foreign or regular test) is applicable; and (3) the number of months, if any, for SSA imposed deductions. As the respondents are beneficiaries living and working outside the United States, SSA must determine whether the annual earnings test applies to all earnings from work covered by the Social Security Act (Act), including earnings from covered work performed outside the United States. However, because of the differences in foreign currency values, it is administratively impractical to apply this test to earnings from non-covered work performed outside the United States and base it on United States dollars. Accordingly, the 45-hour work test provides for deductions from the benefits of employees under full retirement age who engage in non-covered remunerative activity for more than 45 hours in a calendar month. SSA asks beneficiaries working outside the United States to complete this form annually or every other year (depending on the country of residence). Respondents are beneficiaries or claimants for Social Security benefits who are engaged in work outside the United States. We are submitting this non-substantive change request to remove the signature requirement.

Abstract

A banking organization is required to notify its primary Federal banking regulator of any “computer-security incident” that rises to the level of a “notification incident,” as soon as possible and no later than 36 hours after the banking organization determines that a notification incident has occurred. A bank service provider is required to notify each affected banking organization customer as soon as possible when the bank service provider determines that it has experienced a computer-security incident, that has caused, or is reasonably likely to cause, a material service disruption or degradation for four or more hours.

Abstract

This information collection serves as a vehicle to consolidate and account for the paperwork burden resulting from solicitations for competitive discretionary funding opportunity announcements issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and does not represent an actual funding opportunity announcement. This generic information collection is designed to capture both the practical utility and the reporting burdens involved. It also allows HUD to demonstrate to OMB how HUD's competitive funding opportunity announcements will comply with PRA requirements.

Abstract

This request is for the continued clearance of data collection and reporting requirements to enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Business Transformation (OBT) to better assess the effectiveness of discretionary-funded programs included in this information collection request (ICR). The discretionary-funded programs included in this ICR are the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator Grant Program, the Multifamily Housing Budget-Based Service Coordinator Program, and the Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency Service Coordinator Grant Program (ROSS). This proposed collection, titled Standards for Success, has three key tenets which vastly improve data collection and reporting for participating programs. First is the standardization of data collection and reporting requirements across programs which increases data comparability and utilization. Second is the ability to report on measurable outcomes and aligning them with higher-level agency objectives. And third is the collection of record-level data, instead of aggregate data. Collecting de-identified data at the level of the service recipient allows for more meaningful analysis, improved management, and the ability to demonstrate the progress and achievements of the funding recipients and the programs. Standards for Success accepts data submission by direct data input through the HUD-funded GrantSolutions online data collection and reporting tool (OLDC) and by data file upload, accommodating file formats in Microsoft Excel or Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Abstract

When SSA imposes a civil monetary penalty (CMP) on individuals for various fraudulent conduct related to SSA-administrated programs, those individuals may request to pay the CMP through benefit withholding, or an installment agreement. To negotiate a monthly payment amount, fair to both the individual and the agency, SSA needs financial information from the individual. The agency uses Form SSA-640 to obtain the information necessary to determine a monthly installment repayment rate for individuals owing a CMP. The respondents are recipients of Social Security benefits, and non-entitled individuals who must repay a CMP to the agency and choose to do so using an installment plan. We are submitting a non-substative change request to remove the signature requirement from Form SSA-640.

Abstract

This request is for a revision of a currently approved information collection. This revision is being requested in support of the final rule to implement Framework Adjustment 16 to the Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan. Framework 16 proposes adding a vessel hold baseline requirement for limited access Illex squid vessels in order to cap fishing power and limit expansion of effort in the fishery. In order to comply with this requirement, limited access Illex squid permit holders will need to submit certified vessel hold capacity measurements to NMFS approximately 12 months after implementation of the rule, and vessel hold capacity measurements will be required on all subsequent vessel permit applications and RPH applications for limited access Illex squid vessels. This action will also clarify an existing requirement for limited access Illex squid permit holders to submit daily reports via vessel monitoring system (VMS) to better verify catch in this fishery. The burden hours and cost associated with daily VMS reporting in the Illex squid fishery were already calculated and approved through previous actions; therefore, this clarification does not need additional approval through the PRA. Additionally, this action will require Illex and longfin squid vessels to declare their primary annual vessel processing type in order to assist stock assessment scientists in calculating catch per unit effort (CPUE). This information will be collected through the use of existing vessel permit applications and there will be negligible additional burden and no cost; therefore, this requirement also does not need additional approval through the PRA.

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Southeast Region proposes to revise some of the information collections currently approved under the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 0648-0016 to comply with reinstating previous regulations and the associated information collection applicable to certain fishermen. NMFS proposes to remove information collections and revise components of another information collection to a version previously approved by OMB. Other information collections approved by OMB currently in 0648-0016 are unchanged. NMFS is taking these actions to comply with a court decision from the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which effectively invalidated regulations previously implemented by NMFS.

Abstract

The development and maintenance of a cumulative database of all CMAQ projects is required by 23 U.S.C. 149(i)(1). This database must include specific information about each project such as name, location, sponsor, cost, and to the extent already measured by the project sponsor, cost-effectiveness based on reductions in emissions and congestion. The database must be readily available for public review either by publication or in electronically accessible format and means. States provide annual reports on all CMAQ obligations and deobligations taking place in each fiscal year. These reports include obligations of program funds; descriptions of individual projects; and potential impacts on air quality and congestion. The data provided in the annual reports and the CMAQ Public Access System allows for transparency, showing that the program continues to provide incremental benefits through enhanced regional and local air quality improvement, and through contributions to congestion relief. In order to populate the database, FHWA division offices, State DOTs, and MPOs develop a process for entering and approving project data in a timely manner. State DOTs submit the annual report to be approved by the FHWA Division by March 1 and FHWA HQ approves it by July 1 following the end of the previous Federal fiscal year (September 30). The annual report covers all CMAQ obligations for that previous fiscal year. Thus, State DOTs and MPOs report the data early enough that FHWA has time to review and comment on the report.

Abstract

On October 20, 1994, the Improving America's Schools Act, Public Law 103-382(The Act), became law. The Act added a provision to the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). Section 427 of GEPA requires an applicant for assistance under Department programs to develop and describe in the grant application the steps it proposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and equitable participation in, its proposed project for students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries. Applicants have responded to the GEPA 427 requirements for approximately the last 27 years, and the current form expires in June 2023. In response to the Agency's Equity Plan resulting from the President's Executive Order 13985, we now propose to update that form by expanding the number of questions from one to four. These four questions are intended to help applicants for Department grant funds to be more intentional and specific as to identifying barriers to equitable access and how they will address those barriers consistent with the requirements of section 427 of GEPA. As with the existing form, applicants retain the flexibility to determine and define for themselves the barriers to “equitable access” and “equitable participation” based on the design of their proposed grant projects and the participants and community the project proposes to serve.
