The DEA implements the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) which requires that every person who manufactures or distributes a list I chemical shall annually obtain a registration for that purpose. 21 U.S.C. 822 and 823. Additionally, the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act (CSIEA) requires that persons who import or export list I chemicals must obtain a registration prior to conducting such activities. 21 U.S.C. 957 and 958. DEA Form 510 is utilized by applicants desiring to manufacture, distribute, import, and export list I chemicals. DEA Form 510A is utilized for renewal of the registration on an annual basis.

Abstract

A modern, streamlined and responsive customer experience means: raising government-wide customer experience to the average of the private sector service industry; developing indicators for high-impact Federal programs to monitor progress towards excellent customer experience and mature digital services; and providing the structure (including increasing transparency) and resources to ensure customer experience is a focal point for agency leadership. This proposed information collection activity provides a means to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving customer service delivery as discussed in Section 280 of OMB Circular A-11 at https://www.performance.gov/cx/a11-280.pdf. As discussed in OMB guidance, agencies should identify their highest-impact customer journeys (using customer volume, annual program cost, and/or knowledge of customer priority as weighting factors) and select touchpoints/transactions within those journeys to collect feedback. These results will be used to improve the delivery of Federal services and programs. It will also provide government-wide data on customer experience that can be displayed on www.performance.gov to help build transparency and accountability of Federal programs to the customers they serve. As a general matter, these information collections will not result in any new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. Agency will only submit collections if they meet the following criteria. • The collections are voluntary; • The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on considerations of total burden hours or burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents and the Federal Government; • The collections are non-controversial and do not raise issues of concern to other Federal agencies; • Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience with the program in the near future; • Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained; • Information gathered is intended to be used for general service improvement and program management purposes • Upon agreement between OMB and the agency all or a subset of information may be released as part of A-11, Section 280 requirements only on performance.gov. Summaries of customer research and user testing activities may be included in public-facing customer journey maps or summaries. • Additional release of data must be done coordinated with OMB. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency, its customers and stakeholders, and OMB as it monitors agency compliance on Section 280. These responses will inform efforts to improve or maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and stakeholders on services will be unavailable.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to assist in the adaptation of an existing web-based sexual assault prevention program for college men and women, for use among the Navy population. Responses to the survey will provide information about the behavior and attitudes of Sailors regarding alcohol use and sexual assault. The results of the survey will impact the Department of the Navy by documenting the feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, and utility of a multi-pronged, individually tailored, and easily distributed prevention program that addresses the large problem of sexual assault, and the associated effects of alcohol for Sailors. In the long-term, this research benefits the readiness of the force by producing an easily disseminated high-quality sexual assault prevention program that can be implemented in multiple military settings and sustain evaluation in a larger clinical trial. This research can also have a secondary impact on reducing hazardous alcohol use among service members and can prevent the occurrence of alcohol use problems and associated negative health sequelae in service members.

Abstract

In general, under chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), distilled spirits and wine produced in or imported into the United States are subject to Federal excise tax, but those taxes are subject to drawback (refund) when such products are subsequently exported from the United States, which, under 26 U.S.C. 5214 and 5362 includes the lading of such products as supplies on aircraft engaged in foreign flights. Also, under 19 U.S.C. 1309, those products may be withdrawn from customs custody without payment of tax for use as supplies on such aircraft. Additionally, those statutes authorize the Secretary to issue regulations regarding such withdrawals. Under its delegated authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) alcohol export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require airlines to account for distilled spirits and wine withdrawn from their stocks held in customs custody at airports for use as supplies on aircraft engaged in foreign flights. Accounting for such withdrawals, whether made subject to drawback or without payment of tax, is necessary to protect the revenue as the collected information allows TTB to verify export drawback claims and detect diversion of untaxed distilled spirits and wine into the domestic market.
