Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) Project: Pilot Phase

Key Information

Abstract

The Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) Project address the U.S. supply chain issues that have been unprecedented over the past several years. These supply chain issues have contributed to the congestion under COVID-induced surges of containerized cargo through our ports and intermodal networks. In March of this year, the White House announced the launch of the Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) initiative with the Department of Transportation and the freight industry to facilitate a collaboration and sharing of intermodal trade data. This collaboration will help improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce overall costs to U.S. consumers. The FLOW initiative builds on previous work by the Administration's Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force to ensure the expeditious movement of cargo from ship to shelf.

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."

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.

Communications Supply Chain Risk Information Partnership Supplemental Information Gathering

Key Information

Abstract

The Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 (STCNA), Pub. L. 112-96, 133 Stat. 158 (2020) (codified as amended at 47 U.S.C. §§ 1601–1609), tasked NTIA with establishing a program to share information regarding supply chain security risks with trusted providers of advanced communications service and trusted suppliers of communications equipment or services. Under STCNA, NTIA is responsible for conducting regular briefings and events and engaging with trusted providers of advanced communications service and trusted suppliers of communications equipment or services, particularly small businesses or those that primarily serve rural areas. In July 2020, NTIA established the Communications Supply Chain Risk Information Partnership (C-SCRIP) to carry out the aforementioned responsibilities. As part of its engagement strategy, NTIA releases a bi-monthly C-SCRIP newsletter and would like to seek additional information from those who sign up for C-SCRIP communications in the future. Specifically, NTIA would like to collect a subscriber’s name, title, employer, location (state and country), and email address. This data will be used to better tailor outreach and more effectively and efficiently disseminate information.
