Unified Registration System, FMCSA Registration/Updates

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is a renewal for mandatory reporting which applies to new registrants that are subject to FMCSA’s licensing, registration, and certification regulations. Form MCSA-1 is an interactive, online form that allows users to see and complete only sections that are applicable to their specific operation(s). There is no paper version of Form MCSA-1; users must complete the form online, accessible via the Unified Registration System (URS). Form MCSA-1 requests information to identify the applicant, the nature and scope of its proposed operations, safety-related details, and information regarding the drivers and vehicles it plans to use in U.S. operations. The information on Form MCSA-1 is collected only at initial registration (i.e., it is a one-time collection of information). New registrants seeking initial operating authority with FMCSA must fill out Form MCSA-1. Every interstate and intrastate hazardous material motor carrier operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) is required to register with FMCSA to obtain a USDOT Number. Most for-hire carriers are also required to file a separate application for operating authority. Existing registrants seeking additional authorities must use forms from the OP-1 series, including OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA). New and existing Mexico-domiciled carriers must apply for authority using Form OP-1(MX). FMCSA and the States use registration information collected via Form MCSA-1 to track motor carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and other entities they regulate. Registering motor carriers is essential to being able to identify carriers so that their safety performance can be tracked and evaluated. The data make it possible to link individual trucks to the responsible motor carrier, thus implementing the mandate under 49 U.S.C. 31136(a)(1) to ensure that CMVs are maintained and operated safely. Registration information collected via Form MCSA-1 informs prioritization of the Agency’s activities and aids in assessing and statistically analyzing the safety outcomes of those activities. This ICR renewal request includes an increase in the estimated burden hours and burden cost to respondents and increased cost to the Federal government. The increase in estimated responses and burden hours is a direct result of the increased number of respondents calculated based on the number of new entrants who applied using Form MCSA-1 during calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021.

[NCIPC] The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey is an ongoing, nationally representative survey of non-institutionalized adult men and women aged 18 years or older in the United States assessing lifetime experiences to assess experiences of intimate partner violence, sexual violence and stalking among adults in the US. . It measures lifetime victimization for these types of violence as well as in the previous 12 months. NISVS has historically been administered through random-digit-dial sampling. From 2018-2021, CDC conducted feasibility testing and pilot testing aimed at developing methods for transitioning NISVS to an address-based sampling design that would reduce reliance on cell and landline phone participation and improve response rates. The modification in this revision request is to do a full-scale implementation of address-based sampling frame with push-to-web data collection and a call-in telephone option, intended to increase the response rate, and reduce respondent burden.

Alaska Beak Deformity Observations

Key Information

Abstract

As part of the USGS Ecosystems mission to assess the status and trends of the Nation's biological resources, the Alaska Science Center Landbird Program conducts research on avian populations within Alaska. Beginning in the late 1990s, an outbreak of beak deformities in Black-capped Chickadees emerged in south central Alaska. USGS scientists launched a study to understand the scope of this problem and its effect on wild birds. Since that time, researchers have gathered important information about the deformities but their cause still remains unknown. Members of the public provide observation reports of birds with deformities from around Alaska and other regions of North America. These reports are very important in that they allow researchers to determine the geographical distribution and species affected. Data collection over such a large and remote area would not be possible without the public’s assistance.

Government to Government Services Online Website Registration, Government to Government Services Online Website Account Modification/Deletion Form

Key Information

Abstract

The Government-to-Government Services Online (GSO) web site allows various external organizations to submit files to a variety of SSA systems and, in some cases, receive files in return. The SSA systems that process data transferred via Government-to-Government services include, but are not limited to, systems responsible for disability processing and benefit determination or termination. SSA uses the information from Form SSA-159 (Government-to-Government Services Online Website Registration Form) to register the requestor to use the GSO website. SSA then creates a user’s account based on this information. SSA provides the user with account information and conducts a walkthrough of the Government-to-Government Services website as necessary. Established organizations submit Form SSA-159 to register additional users as well. The requesting organization can also modify its online account (e.g., address change) by completing an online Form SSA-160 (Government-to-Government Service Online Website Account Modification/Deletion Form). Respondents are State and local government agencies and some private sector business entities.

Request for Evidence from Doctor or Hospital

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 223(d)(5) and 1614(a)(3)(H)(i) of the Social Security Act require claimants to furnish medical evidence of their disability when filing a disability claim. SSA uses Forms HA-66 and HA-67 to obtain medical evidence from medical sources identified by the claimants as having information relative to their impairments or ability to do work-related activities. In addition to accepting manual paper responses, SSA sends a barcode with the HA-66 and HA-67 allowing respondents to fax the information directly into the electronic claims folder rather than submitting it manually. SSA uses the information to determine eligibility for benefits. The respondents are medical sources, doctors, and hospitals that evaluate the claimants.

Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension with a revision to a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0576. This revision includes a decrease in the respondent universe as a result of updated data provided by eligible recipients in the annual National Transit Database. The respondent universe decreased from 1,885 in 2020 to 1,035 in this 2023 current information collection request (ICR). Therefore, there was a corresponding decrease in total burden hours. The other change associated with this ICR, is a change in the information collection name. During the 2022 annual update of the federal Assistance Listings FTA requested and received approval from OMB to change the grant program name of the FTA bus program to reflect the eligibility of transit providers to purchase or lease zero-emission and low-emission transit buses as well as the acquisition, construction, and leasing of required supporting facilities. This updated title, allows eligible recipients to easily search for federal funding opportunities associated with zero-emission and low-emission buses. Therefore, this IC submittal also reflects a change in the name of the information collection to Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs to ensure consistency across the federal-wide reporting purposes. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is required to obtain federal funding assistance that help States and designated recipients to replace, rehabilitate and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct bus-related facilities including technological changes or innovations to modify low or no emission vehicles or facilities. Eligible recipients include designated recipients that operate fixed route bus service or that allocate funding to fixed route bus operators; state or local governmental entities; and federally recognized Indian tribes that operate fixed route bus service that are eligible to receive direct grants under 5307 and 5311. Eligible transportation providers must apply to receive federal funds and then provide milestone and financial reports as necessary to ensure the proper and timely expenditure of federal funds within the scope of the approved project.

Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category Airplanes

Key Information

Abstract

The information or data collection is mandatory from the DAHs as required by the FAA regulations as specified in item 1. The main purpose of the data collection is for the review by FAA oversight offices of the transport aircraft fuel tank safety level as required by the FAA regulations. The DAHs are required to provide semi-annual reliability reports. The FAA safety oversight offices have reviewed the collected data in order to assess mandatory action to correct any unsafe conditions resulting from poor reliability of the fuel tank flammability reduction means (FRM) and the resulting increased flammability of the fuel tanks on transport category airplanes. This is because high flammability fuel tanks are susceptible to catastrophic fuel tank explosions. These collected data are the fuel tank FRM component reliability reports as specified in item 1. In summary, the FAA requires the DAHs to collect and provide the fuel tank FRM component reliability results for FAA safety review. This is to ensure the fuel tank safety level meets the regulatory requirements specified in item 1.

Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Sighting Reporting Form and Alert Registration Form

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is responsible for tracking the status and distribution of introduced aquatic organisms. The purpose of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Program (NAS) is to monitor and provide information concerning the status, distribution and potential impacts of non-native aquatic organisms in a timely manner for research, management and education. Information is collected from the public regarding the distribution of nonindigenous aquatic species, primarily fish, in open waters of the United States. This information is vital for early detection and rapid response for the possible eradication of organisms that may be considered invasive in a natural environment such as a lake, river, stream, and pond. These species are not native to the environment in which they are now found. Nonindigenous species can and do have negative impacts on our natives species. Early detection is a major focus of the Bureau. The public can help us with this task by serving as the “eyes and ears” for our Program because the USGS cannot possibly be everywhere, observing and monitoring all open waters for nonindigenous aquatic species.
