Abstract

On June 2, 2014 the Commission released a rulemaking titled “Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions,” GN Docket 12-268, Report and Order, FCC 14-50, 29 FCC Rcd 6567 (2014) which adopted rules for holding an Incentive Auction. Full power and Class A stations will be reassigned to a new channel via the repacking process following the auction. Other stations will submit winning bids to relinquish their channels, enter into channel sharing agreements (and move to the channel of the station they are sharing with); or to move from high-VHF to low-VHF channels or from UHF to high-VHF or low-VHF. Each of these stations are required to notify multichannel video programming providers (“MVPD”) that carry the station of the fact that the station will be changing channels or terminating operations. Section 73.3700 requires that full power and Class A television stations assigned a new channel in the incentive auction repacking, relinquishing their channel or moving to a new channel as a result of a winning bid in the auction, notify MVPDs of their termination of operations or change in channel. On March 23, 2017, the Commission adopted the Report and Order, Channel Sharing by Full Power and Class A Stations Outside the Broadcast Television Spectrum Incentive Auction Context, GN Docket No. 12-268, MB Docket No. 03-185, MB Docket No. 15-137, FCC 17-29 (“Report and Order”). This document approved channel sharing outside of the incentive auction context between full power, Class A, Low Power Television (LPTV) and TV translator stations. Channel sharing stations also must notify MVPDs of the fact that stations will be terminating operations on one channel to share another station’s channel. Section 73.3800, Full Power Television Channel Sharing Outside the Incentive Auction, Section 73.6028 Class A Television Channel Sharing Outside the Incentive Auction and Section 74.799 Low Power Television and TV Translator Channel Sharing require that stations seeking to channel share outside of the incentive auction provide notification to MVPDs of the fact that the station will be terminating operations on one channel to share another station’s channel.

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation is to seek approval to conduct 11 voluntary information collections as part of a one-time research study involving up to 80 licensed drivers of various ages. The purpose of the research study is to examine the effectiveness of lateral control advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for improving driver response, with specific focus on Lane Departure Warnings (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA). The respondents will participate in two separate driving data collection sessions. Within this study, NHTSA’s contractor, the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), will instrument two research vehicles with data acquisition systems (DAS). The DAS includes video cameras and sensors that allow for collecting continuous data that encompasses driver behavior and vehicle performance. The completion of the two drives will take place on different days. Recruitment of study respondents is from southwest Virginia, specifically the New River Valley and surrounding areas (Roanoke, Salem, etc.). The target for the study is 50 participants, completing both sessions and with valid data collected for each; therefore, the research team will contact up to an estimated 340 potential research participant, to identify approximately 85 respondents who will be eligible for participation and complete the informed consent process, estimating that up to 80 respondents will participate in the driving sessions. Since the research study involves driving sessions on two different days, recruitment of up to 80 respondents is needed to account for attrition and potential replacements to ensure that the research study includes 50 participants who complete both the Session 1 and Session 2 drives. This ICR includes the following information collections: (1) a pre-screening questionnaire; (2) an informed consent form; (3) a vision and hearing evaluation; (4) Knowledge and Opinions Questionnaire; (5) the Session 1 controlled drive; (6) the Session 1 post-condition questionnaire; (7) the Session 1 post-drive questionnaire; (8) the Session 2 naturalistic drive, LDW subset; (9) the Session 2 LDW subset post-drive questionnaire; (10) the Session 2 naturalistic drive, LDW/LKA subset; and (11) the Session 2 LDW/LKA post-drive questionnaire. The purpose of the research study and its associated information collections is to help NHTSA better understand the effectiveness of lateral control systems, the human factors that affect the performance of lane departure warning (LDW) and lane-keep assistance (LKA) systems, and about the system characteristics that will favor better acceptance. This will, in turn, help NHTSA to develop, implement, and maintain effective countermeasures that meet the agency’s mandate to reduce the number of deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on the U.S. highways. The planned data collection activities discussed herein have been approved by Virginia Tech’s Institutional Review Board (IRB). NHTSA will use the information collected to produce a technical report containing summary statistics and tables. No identifying information or individual responses will be reported. The technical report will be made available to a variety of audiences interested in improving highway safety through the agency website and the National Transportation Library. This is a new information collection that is estimated at 272 annual burden hours.

Abstract

Section 80.605 is needed to insure that no hazard to marine navigation will result from the grant of applications for non-selectable transponders and shore based radionavigation aids. If this collection was not conducted, stations posing a hazard to marine navigation could be licensed inadvertently and/or long delays in the processing of applications could result due to the necessity for coordination between the FCC, the U.S. Coast Guard and the applicant.

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for this new information collection request (ICR) to conduct 6 new voluntary information collections as part of a one-time research program examining drivers’ interactions with crash avoidance technology with different human-machine interface (HMI) characteristics. Crash avoidance warning systems aid vehicle drivers in avoiding crashes by presenting alerts and warnings to inform drivers of situations in which the system has determined, via sensor information, that a crash is possible. These systems communicate the occurrence of such conditions to drivers via different sensory modalities, such as visual or auditory signals or vibration of the seat or steering wheel. The research will examine how the characteristics of the visual, auditory, and/or haptic (i.e., touch) signals presented by the system may affect the driver’s response to a crash-imminent situation. This research will help inform NHTSA’s rulemaking activities relating to crash avoidance technologies. The research will involve driver behavior observation while driving on a test track, public road, or in a simulated environment (i.e., driving simulator) as means of collecting needed data. Data collection may also involve stationary laboratory measurements relating to crash avoidance warning signal characteristics, such as stationary laboratory measurements of individuals’ visual angles when gazing at in-vehicle visual signals (e.g., instrument panel symbols) and displays. Experimental data collection will include measurements such as those relating to driving performance, vehicle control metrics, and eye glance behavior. Study participants are members of the general public and include licensed car and/or commercial truck drivers aged 25 to 65 who are healthy and able to drive without assistive devices. The full information collection request includes six information collections: Interest Response Form, Candidate Screening Questions, Appointment Scheduling, Informed Consent, Experimental Data Collection, and Post-Drive Questionnaire. Data collection will begin upon receipt of PRA clearance. Response to this information collection is voluntary and will be conducted in phases corresponding to the different crash avoidance warning system types to be examined (i.e., forward, lateral, and rear crash avoidance). This is a new information collection that is estimated at 239 annual burden hours and $7,200 annual opportunity costs.

Abstract

The Family and Youth Services Bureau’s (FYSB) Runaway and Homeless Youth Division has a legislative requirement to fund a National Communication System, which is currently operated by the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). The NRS provides information, referral services, crisis intervention, and prevention resources to vulnerable youth and families of youth at risk of running away and/or becoming homeless at no cost. When necessary, the NRS refers runaway and homeless youth to shelters, counseling, medical assistance, and other vital services. The NRS collects information from all contacts with youth and adults connecting with the NRS (i.e., parents, family members, legal guardians, service providers) on a voluntary basis to inform crisis services and develop an annual report on the information collected during calls, chats, emails, and forum posts from young people who reached out to the NRS’s crisis services. The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as reauthorized by the Reconnecting Homeless Youth Act of 2008 (P.L.110-378) through FY 2013 and more recently reauthorized by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act through FY 2019, mandates the Secretary shall make grants for a national communication system to assist runaway and homeless youth in communicating with their families and with service providers. The NRS is required to have a system for collecting and analyzing data on calls, emails, chat, texts, and online messages received as well as other information, such as prevention resources, referrals, demographics, and visitors to the NRS website. The NRS must submit monthly and semi-annual reports that includes the following: • Number of calls received, answered, and missed. • Number of chats, emails, and texts received; number of chats, emails, and texts answered; and number of chats, emails, and texts that were missed and did not receive a response, in which the users are youth in crisis, runaway youth, and youth experiencing homelessness. • Number of parents, legal guardians, and service providers contacting the NRS and the type of resources, interventions, and technical support/assistance requested and provided. • Number and type of prevention materials disseminated to communities, especially to underserved populations. • Number and type of unique visitors to the NRS’ website. • Information on referrals provided and where youth were referred for services. • Information on the callers' or users' demographics and where they were located when contacting the NRS. • Information on the prevention materials developed and disseminated by the NRS. • Information and analysis of the latest trends and their impact on runaway prevention. The NRS uses two forms, one form to collect relevant information disclosed during calls, emails, and forum posts, and then a second form to collect information from chats. All data will be provided to FYSB in the aggregate and no personally identifiable information are collected. This nonsubstantive change request is in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO). ACF has implemented changes to update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with the directives. This request is specific to only these updates.

Abstract

Section 523(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires the Department of Labor (Department), in consultation with the U.S. Treasury Department, to establish an online searchable database called the Retirement Savings Lost and Found (Lost and Found) no later than December 29, 2024. The Department has the sole responsibility for establishing and maintaining the Lost and Found. The Lost and Found online searchable database will enable individuals to locate benefits they are owed by providing them with contact information for their plan administrator, the designated trustee or issuer described in section 401(a)(31)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code), or the issuer of an annuity described in section 523(e)(3)(C) of ERISA. Plan administrators have reported much of the information needed for the establishment of the Lost and Found to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Form 8955-SSA (Annual Registration Statement Identifying Separated Participants With Deferred Vested Benefits) and its predecessor Schedule SSA to the Form 5500. However, citing concerns under section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), IRS has determined it will not authorize the release of this data to the Department for the purpose of communicating either directly with participants and beneficiaries about retirement plans that may still owe them retirement benefits or indirectly through the Lost & Found online searchable database. Accordingly, the Department is proposing to request plan administrators to voluntarily furnish the information specified below directly to the Department.

Abstract

We collect this information only when a manufacturer submits an application for approval of a nontoxic shot or shot coating. The regulations at 50 CFR 20.134 outline the application and approval process for new types of nontoxic shot and specify what information we collect and how we use it to determine the shot material’s nontoxic status. When considering approval of a candidate material as nontoxic, we must ensure that it is not hazardous in the environment and that secondary exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its components) is not a hazard to migratory birds. To make that decision, we require each applicant to collect information about the solubility and toxicity of the candidate material. Additionally, for law enforcement purposes, a noninvasive field detection device must be available to distinguish candidate shot from lead shot. This information constitutes the bulk of an application for approval of nontoxic shot.

Abstract

The federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) statute requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to collect data annually from all LIHEAP grant recipients regarding the status of obligated and unobligated funding (42 U.S.C. § 8626). The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), which is the agency in HHS that administers LIHEAP, shall not make payment to a grant recipient for a fiscal year (FY) unless the grant recipient has complied with this reporting requirement with respect to the prior fiscal year. The amount held available from a prior FY may not exceed 10% of the funds awarded for that FY [42 U.S.C. § 826(b)(2)(B)]. Funds exceeding 10% shall be reallotted in the following FY to all LIHEAP grant recipients [42 U.S.C. § 8626(b)(1)(C)]. ACF collects the amounts of unobligated funding from LIHEAP grant recipients on the LIHEAP Carryover and Reallotment Report (CRR). According to HHS block grant regulations at 45 CFR § 96.81, the CRR must contain the following information: (1) The amount of funds that the grant recipient requests to hold available for obligation in the following fiscal year, not to exceed 10% of the funds payable to the grant recipient; (2) a statement of the reasons that this amount to remain available will not be used in the fiscal year for which it was allotted; (3) a description of the types of assistance to be provided with the amount held available; and (4) the amount of funds, if any, to be subject to reallotment. The form as approved includes three lines that cover unobligations from the following sources: (1) regular LIHEAP funds, including those reallotted from the prior year; (2) supplemental funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) [Public Law (Pub. L.) 117-58]; and (3) supplemental funds from other sources. The proposed changes include the addition of three lines covering awards from the same sources and minor updates to numbering and wording.
