Record Retention -- 49 CFR Part 576

Key Information

Abstract

This is a reinstatement information collection request (ICR) for an extension of a previous approved information collection for NHTSA’s record retention requirements under 49 CFR Part 576. This collection is mandatory for all manufacturers, distributors, and dealers of motor vehicles and for all manufacturers of motor vehicle equipment. Part 576 requires manufacturers to retain one copy of all records that contain information concerning malfunctions that may be related to motor vehicle safety for a period of five calendar years after the record is generated or acquired by the manufacturer. Manufacturers are also required to retain for five years the underlying records related to early warning reporting (EWR) information submitted under 49 CFR Part 579. The information collections support NHTSA’s mission by increasing the effectiveness of NHTSA’s investigations into potential safety related defects. The records that are required to be retained per 49 CFR Part 576 are used to promptly identify potential safety-related defects in motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment in the United States. When a trend in incidents arising from a potentially safety-related defect is discovered, NHTSA relies on this information, along with other agency data, to determine whether or not to open a formal defect investigation (as authorized by Title 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 – Motor Vehicle Safety). NHTSA estimates the total burden of this information collection to be 40,225 hours and $0. This is an increase of 205 hours and $0 (from 40,020 hours and $0). The adjustment is a result of an increase in the number of the manufacturers required to maintain the records (an increase of 5 manufacturers each incurring an estimated 40 burden hours each year and an additional 5 manufacturers incurring an estimated 1 burden hour each year). NHTSA continues to estimate that there are no additional costs associated with this information collection.

Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards November Launch

Key Information

Abstract

To meet the goals and objectives that demonstrate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPAs) and the Administrations commitment to achieving environmental justice and embedding environmental justice into Agency programs, the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program provides about $600 million in 11 cooperative agreements funding to Grantmakers who will function as pass-through entities for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrants (2 CFR Parts 200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate applications to fund the initial development of community-led environmental justice projects.Emergency Justfication:With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance by October 31, 2024 for six Grantmakers to solicit applications for their first round of subgrants to be launched in October 2024. EPA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the time between the Grantmakers receipt of their funding awards and the launch of their subaward programs (3 months) does not allow sufficient time to obtain PRA clearance using the standard ICR process (which typically takes 6-9 months). Collection of the information requested under this emergency clearance (i.e., applications) is essential for the Grantmakers to have a mechanism for selecting and distributing subaward grants to fund environmental justice projects in underserved communities, thus fulfilling the central objective of the program. The six-month emergency clearance period will cover the first round of subaward applications that will be solicited by six Grantmakers in October 2024. Subsequent rounds of applications for these six Grantmakers will be authorized via a Standard ICR package for the Grantmaking Program that will be submitted for review via the standard ICR approval process.

Technical Updates to Applicability of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Reduced Benefit Rate for Individuals Residing in Medical Treatment Facilities. 20 CFR 416.708(k)

Key Information

Abstract

SSA uses this information collection to determine SSI eligibility or the benefit amount for SSI recipients who enter or leave institutions. SSA personnel collect this information directly from SSI recipients, or from someone reporting on their behalf. An SSI recipient who enters an institution may be unable to report; therefore, a family member sometimes makes this report on behalf of the recipient. When contacting SSA, the recipient or family member of the recipient provides the name of the institution; the date of admission; and the expected date of discharge. The respondents are SSI recipients who enter or leave an institution.

All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP)

Key Information

Abstract

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, established a new All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) to provide federal competitive grants for repairing, improving, modifying, retrofitting, or relocating infrastructure of stations or facilities for passenger use, including load-bearing members that are an essential part of the structural frame. Federal funds can also be used for developing or modifying a plan for pursuing public transportation accessibility projects, assessments of accessibility, or assessments of planned modifications to stations or facilities for passenger use or programs of projects in an eligible area. The information collection (IC) request is for an extension without change of a currently approved collection which is due to expire on December 31, 2022. FTA began this information collection in June 2022 under a six-month OMB emergency approval. On September 27, 2022, FTA issued a 60-day Federal Register Notice (FRN) requesting the extension of the approved information collection under the regular Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance process. There were no comments received from that notice. As required, a 30-day FRN requesting public comments followed. There have been no changes to the respondent universe or burden since the initial emergency request. FTA is requesting OMB approval under the normal PRA process for up to three years. This is a voluntary program where recipients submit initial information at the application stage and if funding is received; additional data is required at the project management stage. Information is submitted by eligible recipients for ASAP to include designated recipients that allocate funds to legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems, states (including territories and Washington D.C.) or local governmental entities that operate legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems. The information is received online via TrAMS, FTA's transit award and management system. There are no changes to this IC as FTA has not applied any substantive changes or adjustments from the initial assumptions of the emergency approval. FTA plans to announce the first grant recipients of this program in early 2023.

Discrimination Complaint Form

Key Information

Abstract

SSA collects information on Form SSA-437-BK to investigate and formally resolve complaints of discrimination based on disability, race, color, national origin (including limited English language proficiency), sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, or retaliation for having participated in a proceeding under this administrative complaint process in connection with an SSA program or activity. Individuals who believe SSA discriminated against them on any of the above bases may file a written complaint of discrimination. SSA uses the information to: (1) identify the complaint; (2) identify the alleged discriminatory act; (3) establish the date of such alleged action; (4) establish the identity of any individual(s) with information about the alleged discrimination; and (5) establish other relevant information that would assist in the investigation and resolution of the complaint. This form has no bearing on any right to pursue, obtain, or keep Social Security benefits. The civil rights complaint process and the use of this form is entirely voluntary. SSA will also accept a letter or other written communication in the alternative to this form. Individuals do not need to use this form or submit a letter or otherwise exhaust administrative remedies before filing a discrimination lawsuit in U.S. District Court. There is no survey associated with this form. Respondents can submit the form by mail or email. Respondents may fill out the form with help from a person they choose, such as a relative, friend, or lawyer. They will not need information from others to complete it. SSA uses its existing Microsoft Office software to collect and work with incoming complaints. The Respondents are individuals who believe SSA, or SSA employees, contractors, or agents, discriminated against them in connection with programs or activities conducted by SSA.

Reporting of Information Using Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin

Key Information

Abstract

The FAA sometimes includes a request for voluntary reporting of information (e.g., inspection results, etc.) in SAIBs. The inspection results may help the FAA in an ongoing investigation to determine the cause of a specific condition, or whether the condition is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design. We may also require reports if a potential unsafe condition is a result of manufacturing quality control problems. We need these reports to determine the scope of the problem and how adequate the design approval holder’s corrective actions are. As such, each reporting situation is unique. To date, our only means for obtaining reporting information is from design approval holders through 14 CFR § 21.3. We have no other authorized method for notification and collection of information from owner/operators to help in our assessment of a potential unsafe condition. If the FAA is unable to obtain this information, we may need to conduct a directed safety investigation. This is a burden on both the FAA and the owner/operator.

International Direct Deposit

Key Information

Abstract

SSA's International Direct Deposit (IDD) Program allows beneficiaries living abroad to receive their payments via direct deposit to an account at a financial institution outside the United States. SSA uses Form SSA-1199-(Country) to obtain the direct deposit information for such foreign accounts, and enroll title II beneficiaries residing abroad in IDD. Routing account number information varies slightly for each foreign country, so we use a variation of the Treasury Department's Form SF–1199A for each country. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries residing abroad who want SSA to deposit their benefits payments directly to a foreign financial institution.
