Labeling of Sulfites in Alcohol Beverages

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that sulfating agents are human allergens that can have serious health implications for persons who are allergic to sulfites, particularly asthmatics, and, as a result, FDA regulations require food labels to declare the presence of sulfites if there are 10 parts per million (ppm) or more of a sulfating agent in a finished food product. Under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e), the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to issue regulations requiring alcohol beverage labels to provide “adequate information” to consumers regarding the identity and quality of such products. Under that FAA Act authority and consistent with FDA’s food labeling requirements, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) alcohol beverage labeling regulations in 27 CFR part 4 (wine), part 5 (distilled spirits), and part 7 (beer) require a declaration of sulfites on the labels of alcohol beverages released from domestic bottling premises or customs custody when sulfites are present in such products at levels of 10 or more ppm. This label disclosure is necessary to protect sulfite-sensitive consumers from products that potentially could be harmful to them.

7 CFR 1700, subpart D - Substantially Underserved Trust Areas (SUTA)

Key Information

Abstract

The SUTA initiative gives the Secretary of Agriculture certain discretionary authorities relating to financial assistance terms and conditions that can enhance the financing possibilities in areas that are underserved by certain RUS electric, water and waste, and telecom and broadband programs. The SUTA initiative identifies the need and improves the availability of RUS programs to reach trust areas when they are determined by the Secretary of Agriculture (such authority has been delegated to the Administrator of RUS) to be substantially underserved. The collection consists of the information necessary to request assistance for the discretionary authorities.

[CSTLTS] Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB): Assessment of Processes and Outcomes

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this extension is to support the continued collection of information from participating health departments through a series of five surveys. The surveys seek to collect longitudinal data on each health department throughout their accreditation process. The surveys will be administered on a quarterly basis and sent to all health departments that reach each milestone summarized in the table below. The mission of the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing and transforming the quality and performance of public health agencies in the US and abroad. One of the impetuses for the development of the national voluntary accreditation program was a 2003 Institute of Medicine report, titled The Future of the Public’s Health in the 21st Century, which suggested that the field consider accreditation as a means to improve performance and accountability of health departments.2 This led to the Exploring Accreditation Project, which concluded that such a program would be both desirable and feasible.3 Based on that, PHAB, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 2007. With funding from the CDC and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and participation by more than four hundred public health experts and practitioners, PHAB developed a consensus set of standards to assess the capacity of state, Tribal, local, and territorial health departments.4 Accreditation is granted for a five-year period and 40 state, 382 local (315 local health departments and one integrated system comprised of 67 local health departments), and 6 Tribal health departments have been accredited. Formal efforts to assess the outcomes of the accreditation program began in late 2012 and continues to date. Priorities focus on gathering feedback for program improvement and documenting program outcomes to demonstrate impact and inform decision making about future program direction.

Report - Export Warehouse Proprietor

Key Information

Abstract

In general, under chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured in, or imported into, the United States are subject to Federal excise tax while tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes removed for export, and all processed tobacco, are not subject to that tax. Additionally, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires export warehouse proprietors to provide reports regarding such articles, in such form, at such times, and for such periods as the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under the authority of section 5722, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require export warehouse proprietors to file a monthly operations report using form TTB F 5220.4, Report—Proprietor of Export Warehouse, listing the amount of tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, and processed tobacco received, removed, lost, or unaccounted for during a given month. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to detect diversion of those untaxed articles to taxable uses, and to verify compliance with Federal laws and regulations related to the removal and export of such articles.

Flight Analog Projects (FAP) Crew Selection Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

The NASA Human Research Program (HRP) is responsible for understanding and mitigating the highest risks to astronaut health and performance to ensure that crews remain healthy and productive during long-duration missions beyond low Earth orbit. HRP leverages the talents of researchers within NASA and across U.S. academia to implement a detailed plan for risk reduction, with much of this work taking place aboard the ISS and ground based flight analogs such as the Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA). As NASA prepares to conduct crewed missions in cis-lunar space, on the Moon, and eventually at other locations including MARS, HRP biomedical research and technological development are enabling the Agency to safely send humans into deep space for longer durations. This collection will help to select subjects for the Analog missions for these ground studies and provide opportunities to have wide variety of subject pool.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Market Research Study

Key Information

Abstract

This is a generic clearance to conduct customer satisfaction surveys. The need for these surveys arises from Congressional directive that accompanied legislation enacted in 1996, as part of the Debt Collection Improvement Act (Pub. L. No. 104-134), expanding the scope of check recipients required to use direct deposit to receive Federal benefit payments (see 31 U.S.C. 3332). Congress directed Treasury to "study the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of those who currently do not have Direct Deposit and determine how best to increase usage among all groups."

State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) for the State Independent Living Services and Center for Independent Living programs

Key Information

Abstract

Legal authority for the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) is contained in Chapter 1 of Title VII of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) ([the Act], P.L. 113-128). Section 704 of the Rehabilitation Act requires that, to be eligible to receive financial assistance under Chapter 1, “a State shall submit to the Department, and obtain approval of, a State plan containing such provisions as the Department may require.” The SPIL is jointly developed by the chairperson of the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) and the directors of the CILs and the designated State entity (DSE) in the State, after receiving public input from individuals throughout the State. ACL approval of the SPIL is required for states to receive federal funding for both the Independent Living Services State grants and Centers for Independent Living (CIL) programs. Federal statute and regulations require the collection of this information at least every three years and as often as necessary to reflect any material change in State law, organization, policy, or agency operations that affects the administration of the SPIL. ACL reviews the SPIL for compliance with the Rehabilitation Act and 45 CFR part 1329 and approves the SPIL. ACL uses the SPIL for continuous monitoring of program operations to identify technical assistance needs for the state independent living programs to ensure planning; financial support and coordination; and other assistance to facilitate independent living services.
