ICAO CO2DB

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection. The collection involves the possibility for airplane manufacturers for which the airplane is subject to the applicability of Annex 16, Volume III of the Convention on Civil Aviation (hereinafter the “Chicago Convention”) to submit electronically CO2 Certification Database (CO2 DB) Datasheet(s) to the FAA. The information to be collected will be necessary because of FAA's commitment to help (a) provide publicly available data on the CO2 Metric Value (MV) which represents a measure of fuel burn performance of airplane types against CO2 technology/design standards, (b) track and communicate the improvement in airplane CO2 MVs over time and (c) provide an incentive to improve the CO2 MV of airplane types.

49 USC Section 5310-Capital Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and Persons w/Disabilities & Section 5311-Nonurbanized Area Formula Program

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection (IC) request is a revision to a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0500 “49 USC Section 5310-Capital Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and Persons w/Disabilities & Section 5311-Nonurbanized Area Formula Program.” There are no programmatic changes to this information collection from the 2020 information collection. However, there was a decrease in the number of Section 5310 competitive applicants and a decrease in the number of Indian Tribes participating in the Tribal Transit program. In 2020 there were 523 respondents. In this information collection is a decrease of 6 respondents for a total of 517 (5310 and 5311) grantees. As a result, there is a corresponding decrease in burden hours from 54,727 to 54,133. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is required to obtain to federal assistance to states, local governments, private nonprofit agencies, and public bodies through the Section 5310 and 5311 programs. The 5310 program provides private nonprofit groups funding to meet transportation needs of older adults and people with disabilities when the transportation service provided is unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate in rural and small urban areas. The 5311 program provides capital, planning, and operating assistance to states to support public transportation in rural areas with populations of less than 50,000, where many residents often rely on public transit to reach their destinations. Eligible recipients include states and federally recognized Indian Tribes. Sub-recipients may include state or local government authorities, nonprofit organizations, and operators of public transportation or intercity bus service. Since States administer many of these programs they submit consolidated annual applications and milestone/financial reports to FTA on behalf of the sub recipients. The information reported includes project budget, description of the project, implementation plans, management plans, financial reports and progress reports. Sub-recipients typically do not report any information directly to FTA but are required by the State or designated recipient to provide sufficient information for reporting purposes.

National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is a revision of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0579 “National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.” This information collection reflects an increase in respondents but an overall decrease in responses and total annual burden hours. A slight increase in Tier II grantees increased the total annual respondents, however the total number of responses decreased as nearly 75% of Tier II grantees participate in a group plan. The first TAM plans were completed in October 2018 and under the prior approval in 2020, many of the plans were still being drafted. Now that they are done, the initial burden of collecting new information has decreased. The entities that must respond are Tier I (large transit agencies) and Tier II (small transit agencies). Tier I providers are recipients that own, operate, or manage either 1-101 or more vehicles in revenue service during peak regular service across all fixed route modes or in any one non-fixed route mode, or operate rail transit. Tier II providers are entities that 1.) operate 1-100 or fewer vehicles in revenue service during peak regular service across all non-rail fixed route modes or in any one non-fixed route mode, 2.) a sub recipient under the 5311 Rural Area Formula Program, or 3.) are considered an American Indian tribe. Both of these respondents were included in the initial IC submission in 2016. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as all recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53 funds that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital assets must develop TAM plans. This information collection is to be maintained on a yearly basis and submitted every four years. That data is submitted to FTA during the submission of their performance measures and targets electronically into the National Transit Database.

49 U.S.C. Section 5337 State of Good Repair Program

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension with a revision to a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0577 “49 U.S.C. State of Good Repair.” The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is submitted to FTA to provide capital assistance for the maintenance, replacement, and rehabilitation projects of high-intensity fixed guideway and bus systems to help transit agencies maintain assets in a state of good repair. Eligible recipients are state and local government authorities in Urbanized Areas (UZAs) with fixed guideway and high intensity motorbus systems in revenue service for at least seven years. The recipients must apply to receive federal funds and then provide various reports (milestone and financial reports) as necessary to ensure the proper and timely expenditure of federal funds within the scope of the approved project. This information is collected on yearly basis. That information is submitted to FTA's regional and headquarters staff via an application in GRANTS.gov and once awarded information is submitted into FTA’s electronic Transit Award Management System (TrAMS). This request includes an increase in respondents’ due to new applications received and an increase in burden hours proportionally.

Application for Employment with the Federal Aviation Administration

Key Information

Abstract

Applicants interested in applying for jobs with the FAA voluntarily complete the online Web based application (USAJOBS/AVIATOR) process. The information is reported on occasion. AVIATOR facilitates the FAA hiring process with instant certification of qualified candidates for employment. It allows simultaneous online application submittal; screening and testing; scoring and notification; eligibility list placement; and referral for interview. Once applicants electronic application form is complete and the job announcement date expires, FAA AHR performs its Qualification Reviews process. The data gathered from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Application for Employment is analyzed and evaluated by AHR specialists to identify applicants with required qualifications for a variety of positions within the FAA. While the FAA is exempt from provisions relating to normal competitive examination processing within Title 5, USC, Sections 3302-3305, this process enables the FAA to establish a selection pool of best-qualified candidates to fulfill its many critical safety-related jobs.

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Recreational Landings and Bluefin Tuna Catch Reports

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for the extension of a currently approved information collection. This information collection consists of a mandatory catch reporting program in the recreational fishery for Atlantic bluefin tuna, swordfish, blue marlin, white marlin, and sailfish. Anglers harvesting these species must report through a toll-free telephone system, an Internet site, phone app, or through landing card programs administered by Maryland or North Carolina. Catch monitoring and collection of catch and effort statistics in these fisheries are required under the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The information collected through this program is essential for the United States to meet its reporting obligations to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and to assure the harvest of these species remains within ICCAT required quotas and landings limits.

Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program

Key Information

Abstract

A petitioner may file Form I-140G to request an employment-based immigrant visa under the Gold Card program established by Executive Order 14351, The Gold Card (Sep. 19, 2025). This data collection will be used to assess an alien’s eligibility for an available employment-based immigrant visa. The gift donation confers eligibility for either the first employment-based preference (EB-1) alien of extraordinary ability under section 203(b)(1)(A) of the Immigrant and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(1)(A); or, the second preference (EB-2) alien of exceptional ability under INA section 203(b)(2)(A), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2)(A) with a national interest waiver under INA section 203(b)(2)(B), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2)(B).Emergency Justfication:This emergency action is necessary to meet the Executive Order 14351 implementation date, within 90 days of September 19, 2025, specifically by December 18, 2025. Emergency approval of Form I-140G enables immediate collection of the standardized set of data necessary to properly assess eligibility, which also protects operational efficiency, national security, and financial integrity. Without an approved form and instructions to collect a standardized set of data, DHS and USCIS cannot intake, accept, receipt, or adjudicate an alien’s eligibility for an available employment-based first-preference or second-preference immigrant visa. In short, all the mechanisms are in place to immediately meet the current demand for the Gold Card, which could generate substantial revenue aimed at boosting commerce, and supporting American industries. Section 103(a)(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1103(a)(3), authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue forms, instructions, and guidance necessary to carry out the authority provided in section 103(a)(1) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1103(a)(1). If DHS were to adhere to the standard information collection clearance procedures, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be unable to implement the Gold Card Program within 90 days of September 19, 2025, specifically by December 18, 2025. Therefore, to bring this information collection into compliance with administration priorities and to meet the Executive Order 14351 implementation date, USCIS cannot comply with the normal clearance procedures under the PRA. Absent the collection of this critical information, public harm is reasonably likely to result. See 5 CFR 1320.13(a).

Review of 8(a) Business Development Program & Relevant Information

Key Information

Abstract

The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) must collect this information to examine participants in SBA’s program under 15 U.S.C. § 637 (the “8(a) program”) in response to urgent concerns regarding small business federal contracting and subcontracting compliance by businesses participating in the program, as well as other instances of waste, fraud and abuse in the same program. This information will be used to determine continued eligibility, program and contract term compliance, and to identify instances of fraud. SBA is authorized to collect this information as part of its general investigative authority under the Small Business Act (codified at 15 U.S.C. § 634(b)(11)).Emergency Justfication:See attached memo. The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) requests emergency processing under 5 CFR 1320.13 for a new Information Collection Request (“ICR”). SBA seeks approval by November 18, 2025, to enable immediate collection of business data relating to participants in SBA’s business development program under 15 U.S.C. § 637 (the “8(a) program” and such participants “8(a) participants”). This data is essential to the mission of the SBA in order to examine participants in the 8(a) program in response to urgent concerns regarding small business federal contracting and subcontracting compliance by businesses participating in the program as well as other documented instances of waste, fraud and abuse within the same program. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(ii). Recent government-wide investigations by the Department of Justice, the Small Business Administration Office of Inspector General, and the Government Accountability Office, coupled with recent public allegations of illegal conduct by an 8(a) participant, have exposed systemic risks within the 8(a) program that make the program particularly susceptible to waste, fraud, and abuse. For example, risks of improper pass-through contracting and noncompliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, improper control of 8(a) firms, eligibility fraud, improper disbursements, and improper transfers of contractual responsibilities across the federal acquisition landscape have been identified. The absence of standardized, data-driven reporting on prime versus subcontractor labor utilization, for example, has been identified as a vulnerability throughout government. SBA’s request will increase visibility into the 8(a) program, strengthen internal surveillance and oversight of 8(a) participants, and reinforce public trust through proactive corrective measures. The public investigations and recent widespread reporting of the 8(a) program’s susceptibility to fraud mentioned above, together with the Department of Justice’s uncovering of a $550 million scandal involving 8(a) contracting at USAID, could jeopardize SBA’s efforts to investigate and counter fraud, waste and abuse in its 8(a) program, as explained further below. In particular, the recent publicity given to both fraud within the program and SBA’s efforts to address it have created a new urgency in requesting potential data essential to SBA’s mission and the integrity of the 8(a) program. The increased attention on the 8(a) program means that the use of normal clearance procedures is extremely likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of essential information that may be altered, destroyed or otherwise concealed by those seeking to evade enforcement. Because of these concerns and the identified systemic risks discussed above, the information must be collected prior to the expiration of the ordinary time periods for notice and comment. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(i). Delaying implementation until completion of normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would undermine these efforts and perpetuate risk, including evidentiary spoliation risks, during active oversight investigations. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(iii). SBA’s ability to document 8(a) participant eligibility and compliance is essential to ensuring that small-business set-aside awards meet requirements and maintain program integrity. The requested emergency clearance will allow SBA to gather baseline data and support interagency coordination with OMB, Treasury and other federal agencies utilizing SBA’s 8(a) participants to inform a permanent, government-wide solution.

Institutional Dual Use Research of Concern (iDURC) Policy Compliance (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued the United States Government Policy for Institutional Oversight of Life Sciences Dual Use Research of Concern (iDURC Policy) in September 2014. The purpose of the Policy is to identify Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) and implement risk mitigation measures where applicable. DURC applies to life science research that provides knowledge, information, products, or technologies that could be directly misapplied to pose a significant threat with broad potential consequences to public health and safety, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, material, or national security. Institutions subject to the iDURC Policy are those within the United States that (1) receive funding from the U.S. Government to conduct or sponsor life sciences research and (2) conduct or sponsor reserach that involves one or more of the 15 agents or toxins identified in the iDURC Policy, even if the research is not supported by U.S. Government funding. Institutions outside of the United States that receive U.S. Government funding to conduct or sponsor research that involves one or more of the 15 agents or toxins identified in the iDURC Policy are also subject to the Policy. The iDURC Policy requires that institutions subject to the Policy provide education and training on DURC for individuals conducting life sciences research with one or more of the 15 agents or toxins identified in the iDURC Policy. It is also required that they maintain education and training records for the term of the research grant or contract. The policy states that records must be saved for three years after its completion, but no less than eight years, unless a shorter period is required by law or regulation. EPA is submitting an information collection request for the requirement of institutions in maintaining these training records. EPA's Office of Research and Development may choose to collect these records to ensure Policy compliance.

ACF’s Generic Clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This request by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is to extend approval of the generic clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms with no changes (note that burden estimates have been updated to reflect ongoing collections and estimated future burden, but the purpose and use of this generic have not changed). ACF may recruit reviewers for a variety of different activities and each program office within ACF has a slightly different needs for information about reviewer applicants for different activities. This overarching generic clearance allows ACF to request slightly different information from potential reviewers, yet the individual forms serve the same general function. The abbreviated clearance process of the generic clearance allows program offices to gather a suitable pool of candidates within the varied time periods available for reviewer recruitment. The forms submitted under this umbrella generic are and will be voluntary, low-burden and uncontroversial. Information will be collected electronically unless specified otherwise in an individual generic information collection (GenIC) request. These updates are in response to recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Oil Pollution Act Facility Response Plans (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The authority for EPAs facility response plan (FRP) requirements is derived from section 311(j)(5) of the Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. EPAs regulation is codified at 40 CFR 112.20 and 112.21 and related appendices. The purpose of an FRP is to help an owner or operator identify the necessary resources to respond to an oil discharge in a timely manner. If implemented effectively, the FRP will reduce the impact and severity of oil discharges and may prevent discharges because of the identification of risks at the facility. Although the owner or operator is the primary data user, EPA also uses the data in certain situations to ensure that facilities comply with the regulation and to help allocate response resources. State and local governments may use the data, which are not generally available elsewhere, and can greatly assist local emergency preparedness planning efforts. The EPA reviews all submitted FRPs and must approve FRPs for those facilities whose discharges may cause significant and substantial harm to the environment to ensure that facilities believed to pose the highest risk have planned for adequate resources and procedures to respond to oil discharges (See 40 CFR 112.20(f)(3) for further information about the criteria for significant and substantial harm.). No information collected under the FRP rule is expected to be confidential. One of the criteria necessary for information to be classified as proprietary business information (40 CFR 2.208) is that a business must show that it has previously taken reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the information and that it intends to continue to take such measures. EPA provides no assurances of confidentiality to facility owners or operators when they file their FRPs.

NESHAP for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymer Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHHH) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHHH) apply to both existing and new PVC production facilities. Area source PVC facilities are subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDDD and not covered in this ICR. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHHH.

Cash Management Contract URL Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Education (the Department) is seeking an extension of OMB control number 1845-0147 for the collection of URLs hosting institutional contracts and contract data relating to campus banking agreements. The regulatory sections for this collection include 34 CFR 668.164(e)(2)(viii) and 34 CFR 668.164(f)(4)(iii)(B), are unchanged. The Department and the public have a strong interest in knowing the terms of marketing contracts of the millions of students receiving millions of dollars in Federal student aid. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) strongly supports providing important consumer information to students and the public, as evidenced in several parts of the law. The increased transparency will help ensure accountability and encourage institutional practices that are in the interest of students.

Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory

Key Information

Abstract

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) allows for up to a one hundred percent cancellation of a Federal Perkins Loan and loan forgiveness of a Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan program loan if the graduate teaches full-time in an elementary or secondary school serving low-income students. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) allows for up to a one hundred percent cancellation of a Federal Perkins Loan and loan forgiveness of a Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan program loan if the graduate teaches full-time in an elementary or secondary school serving low-income students. The data collected for the development of the Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory provides web-based access to a list of all elementary and secondary schools, and educational service agencies that serve a total enrollment of more than 30 percent low income students (as defined under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended). The Directory allows post-secondary institutions to determine whether or not a teacher, who received a Federal Perkins Loan, Direct Loan, or Federal Family Education Loan at their school, is eligible to receive loan cancellation or forgiveness or that a teacher who received a Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant is meeting the service obligation. This revision request updates the collection with an optional school type data element.
