Office of Education Higher Education Scholarship, Fellowship, and Internship Programs

Key Information

Abstract

The NOAA Office of Education is submitting this non-substantive change request in order to bring the demographic questions in line with SPD-15 and update questions to refer to ‘sex’ instead of ‘gender’. Additionally, references to diversity and inclusion were removed from the Privacy Act Statements. 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. By simplifying the Race and Ethnicity questions to either Figure 2, Race and Ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories Only and Examples, or Figure 3, Race and ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories Only, we can streamline the data collection process and focus on obtaining valuable insights from scholarship, fellowship, and internship participants or alumni. This approach allows us to prioritize the feedback that will directly contribute to improving educational program experiences. Ultimately our goal is to gather meaningful information that will help us better serve our scholars, fellows, and interns and fulfill our mission of conservation education and management.

High Frequency Surveys Program Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (March and May 2026)

Key Information

Abstract

The High-Frequency Surveys Program was established as a natural progression from the creation of the Household Pulse Survey. The Census Bureau developed the Household Pulse Survey to produce near real-time data in a time of urgent and acute need to inform federal and state action in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in the measures over time provided insight into individuals’ experiences on social and economic dimensions during the period of the pandemic. It has evolved to include content on other emergent social and economic issues facing households and is designed to supplement the federal statistical system’s traditional benchmark data products with a new data source that provides relevant and timely information based on a high-quality sample frame, data integration, and cooperative expertise. In January 2025, the HPS and CHP will be relaunched as the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS). The HTOPS will continue the strong tradition of the HPS by rapidly providing insight into national events that have social and economic impacts on U.S. households. It will complement more traditional federal surveys by producing data much closer to real time as the events develop and with the new longitudinal design, have the ability to track changes over time. Along with HPS content, the survey will enable the Census Bureau to address research and content development needs for its census and survey programs. The HTOPS will be one more tool among the Census Bureau's data collection efforts to provide the nation with quality, up-to-date information that informs our future.

Risk-Based Asset Management Plan

Key Information

Abstract

Under 23 U.S.C. 119(e) and implementing regulations at 23 CFR part 515, State departments of transportation (State DOTs) are required to develop Risk-Based asset management plans (AMPs) for the National Highway System (NHS) to improve or preserve the condition of the assets and the performance of the NHS. As part of this requirement, each State DOT must annually submit information to FHWA that demonstrates that the State DOT has implemented an AMP that meets the requirements of 23 U.S.C. 119(e) and 23 CFR part 515, and every 4 years, each State DOT must submit its processes for the development of its AMP to FHWA for certification and recertification every four years following the year of initial certification (23 U.S.C. 119(e)(6)). Section 11105(3) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) added a requirement that the required risk management and lifecycle cost analyses in AMPs consider extreme weather and resilience. A State DOT not in compliance with these requirements receives a penalty in the form of reduced Federal share for projects carried out under the National Highway Performance Program.

Ticket to Work Program Evaluation

Key Information

Abstract

In compliance with the Ticket to Work Incentives Improvement Act if 1999 (Pub. L. 106-170) Section 101(d)(4)(A), SSA is contracting with Mathematica to conduct an independent evaluation to assess (1) the effects of the program on work outcomes and self-sufficiency, and (2) their cost effectiveness. The Ticket Act established supports designed to increase the availability of and access to employment services for adults with disabilities receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), hereafter referred to as Ticketholders . Among the supports created by the Ticket Act were three programs: • Ticket To Work (TTW). • Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA). • Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS). Purpose of the Evaluation To comply with P.L. 106-170, the evaluation will document the extent to which Ticket Act programs are effective, meaning that they achieve their legislative intent: to allow individuals with disabilities to seek the services necessary to obtain and retain employment and reduce their dependency on cash benefit programs. The evaluation findings on these components will support SSA’s understanding of: (1) Whether the programs achieve their legislative intent; (2) The factors contributing to this achievement or lack thereof, and (3) Opportunities for improvement of the programs’ efficiency and effectiveness. The evaluation will also document the cost effectiveness of Ticket Act programs as currently structured, identifying opportunities to deliver the same outcomes at lower costs or improve outcomes with additional investments. As SSA implemented many changes to the Ticket Act programs since our last comprehensive evaluation in 2013, we are also conducting this evaluation to assess these revisions to the programs, including: The increased prevalence of remote service delivery, which makes services more broadly available to Ticketholders, but may reduce the effectiveness of services offered; Changes to the number of ENs and VR agencies participating in the program, as well as changes to the types of services they offer. These changes may affect the overall effectiveness of the program; Revisions that changed the programs’ operations, for instance the implementation of electronic submissions, which may also affect the overall effectiveness of the program; and Investment in a marketing program to support EN outreach, which may have affected the overall use of the TTW program. We expect this comprehensive evaluation will provide updated information regarding: (1) the ability of the Ticket Programs to achieve their legislative intent; and (2) the evidence base necessary to determine the need for potential programmatic changes or other proposals to maximize program effectiveness. We will use surveys and qualitative interviews to evaluate the TTW program. The Respondents are service providers for the Ticket to Work program, specifically one staff member from each EN, state VR, WIPA project and P&A agency with a PABSS grant (“Providers”), as well as Ticketholders.

NESHAP for Iron and Steel Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, subpart EEEEE) (Final Rulel)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEE) were proposed on December 12, 2002, promulgated on April 22, 2004 and amended on May 20, 2005 and February 7, 2008. Amendments to the NESHAP were proposed on October 9, 2019 as a result of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) (as discussed further below). The NESHAP applies to both existing and new iron and steel foundry facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. The rule applies to emissions from metal melting furnaces; scrap pre-heaters; pouring areas; pouring stations; automated conveyor and pallet cooling lines; automated shakeout lines; mold and core making lines; and to fugitive emissions from foundry operations. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of the original proposal (December 12, 2002). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEE. 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 failures to meet applicable standards, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Semiannual reporting of these deviations is also required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these records and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. The final RTR amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement; add new work practice standards for cupola melting furnaces while off blast; add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; and make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Combustion Turbines were proposed on January 14, 2003; promulgated on March 5, 2004; and amended last on April 20, 2006. The regulations apply to sources that either commenced construction or reconstruction after January 14, 2003. On August 18, 2004, these standards were amended to stay the effectiveness for the two gas-fired stationary combustion turbine subcategories (i.e., lean pre-mix gas-fired turbines and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines). Under this stay, new sources in either subcategory that are either constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003 are required to submit initial notification reports, but are also relieved of the obligation to comply with other reporting or monitoring requirements until EPA makes a final decision. Amendments to the NESHAP were proposed on April 12, 2019, as a result of a residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA; however, these amendments have not been finalized and no burden associated with the proposed amendments is included in this ICR. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY. 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.

In VPP, management, labor, and OSHA work cooperatively and proactively to prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through a system focused on; hazard prevention and control; worksite analysis; training; and management commitment and worker involvement. OSHA Challenge provides interested employers and workers the opportunity to gain assistance in improving their safety and health management systems.

Payments Research Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Board uses this ad hoc collection to obtain information, as needed, on specific and time-sensitive issues, related to payments research, which may provide insights that augment the Federal Reserve System’s effectiveness within the payments system. Respondents may comprise depository institutions; financial and nonfinancial businesses; for-profit and nonprofit enterprises; federal, state, and local governments; individual consumers; or households (see full list in the Respondent Panel section below). The Board may conduct various surveys under this collection, as needed, all of which would be voluntary. The frequency and content of the questions depend on changing economic, regulatory, supervisory, or legislative developments, as the Federal Reserve System’s role in the payments system bestows it with, among other things, supervisory, regulatory, fiscal, or operational responsibilities relating to payments issues.
