Abstract

Supersonic passenger flight over land is currently restricted in the U.S. and many countries because sonic booms have been known to disturb people on the ground. There is a potential for a change in federal and international regulations if supersonic flight can occur at acceptably low noise levels. NASA is preparing a series of Community Response Surveys coupled with research flights to gather data on the public acceptability of low noise supersonic flight. Prior to the Community Response Surveys, NASA is conducting a check of the overall survey process without accompanying flights (X-59 Community Response Survey Preparation, this ICR). This is necessary to minimize the risk of problems or errors with the actual Community Response Surveys, which will involve coordinating efforts with preparing and scheduling flights of the X-59 aircraft. After the Community Response Survey Preparation, NASA plans to conduct up to five Community Response Surveys (CRSs) in different areas of the contiguous U.S. Each CRS will have a maximum of 113 responses (“activities”) per respondent, spread across a 30-day period. Some responses are collected up to six times per day, while other responses are collected once per day. To reflect the true experience of the intended future surveys, this test survey will ask respondents to follow the same schedule.

Abstract

UAM vehicles are a part of NASA’s vision for Advanced Air Mobility, which seeks to develop new air transportation systems that move people and cargo between places previously not served or underserved by aviation. Representative UAM vehicle concepts involve the use of electrically driven rotors, and the noise from these air vehicles in communities may restrict their operation. The collection is a laboratory psychoacoustic test that seeks test subject annoyance response to sounds of different vehicles. The UAM Vehicle Noise Human Response Study is divided into a feasibility phase (Phase 1) and an implementation phase (Phase 2). In response to the recognition that annoyance response studies benefit from a diversity of test subjects, it was decided that both phases of the UAM Vehicle Noise Human Response Study will remotely administer a psychoacoustic test. The approval sought by this ICR only concerns Phase 1 of the test.

IRC Section 402(e) allows taxpayers to compute a separate tax on a lump sum distribution from a qualified retirement plan. Form 4972 is used to correctly figure that tax. The data is used to verify the correctness of the separate tax. Form 4972 is also used to make the special 20% capital gain election attributable to pre-1974 participation from the lump-sum distribution.

Abstract

CDC collects information to manage and improve both accredited and non-accredited educational offerings. The purpose of this request is to continue information collection through CDC’s Training and Continuing Education Online (TCEO) and CDC TRAIN systems, while navigating towards a future merger that moves to using only one data collection platform (CDC TRAIN). At this time TCEO is used to generate certificates of attendance and verify training completion, review and approve proposals for educational activities to receive continuing education accreditation, and ensure compliance with mandatory accreditation standards. CDC will use information collected in both systems to evaluate and improve courses based on learner feedback. Data will be gathered by CDC and public health partners.

Abstract

The information is used by the trading public, futures industry researchers, and the Commission to analyze the commodity futures and option marketplace. The information is received from each exchange on a daily basis in conjunction with other data collected by the Commission to determine the potential for market disturbances and distortions. Additionally, Commission market analysts and researchers use this data on a frequent basis in contract market reviews and research projects. Ultimately, the Commission routinely incorporates verified data into its public reports.

Abstract

On April 3, 2012, the Commission adopted Commission regulation 1.71 (Conflicts of interest policies and procedures by futures commission merchants and introducing brokers) pursuant to section 4d(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Commission regulation 1.71 requires generally that, among other things, futures commission merchants (“FCM”) and introducing brokers (“IB”) develop conflicts of interest procedures and disclosures, adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with their conflicts of interest and disclosure obligations, and maintain specified records related to those requirements. The Commission believes that the information collection obligations imposed by Commission regulation 1.71 are essential (i) to ensure that FCMs and IBs develop and maintain the conflicts of interest systems, procedures and disclosures required by the CEA, and Commission regulations, and (ii) to the effective evaluation of these registrants’ actual compliance with the CEA and Commission regulations.

Abstract

The AIA program has been modified over the years, most recently in 2020 to align with Executive Order (E.O.) 13934 issued July 3, 2020, Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. As mandated by E.O. 13934, the AIA program prioritized the commissioning of artworks that portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance, or that illustrate the ideals upon which the Nation was founded. Priority was to be given to public-facing monuments to former Presidents of the United States, and to individuals and events relating to the discovery of America, the founding of the United States, and the abolition of slavery. Such works of art were to be designed to be appreciated by the general public and by those who use and interact with Federal buildings. When an artwork commissioned by GSA was meant to depict a historically significant American, the artwork was required to be a lifelike or realistic representation of that person, not an abstract or modernist representation. The AIA program has been modified in 2022 to align with E.O. 14029, Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment, which revoked E.O. 13934, and to support the goals of E.O. 13895, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. The AIA program continues to commission works of art from living American artists. One half of one percent of the estimated construction cost of new or substantially renovated Federal buildings and U.S. courthouses is allocated for commissioning works of art. With the implementation of the 2022 policy, the AIA program actively seeks to commission works from the full spectrum of American artists and strives to promote new media and inventive solutions for public art. GSA has awarded over 500 commissions to artists with established careers and artists of local and regional prominence. In support of the AIA program’s goal to commission the most talented contemporary American artists to create works for the nation’s important new civic buildings, it is necessary to identify those artists. The National Artist Registry (Registry) offers the opportunity for artists across the country to participate and to be considered for commissions.

Abstract

Agencies will be able to utilize a new uniform format for reporting performance progress on Federally funded research projects. The Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) will directly benefit award recipients by making it easier for them to administer Federal grant and cooperative agreement programs through standardization of the types of information required in interim performance reports—thereby reducing their administrative effort and costs. The RPPR will also make it easier to compare the outputs, outcomes, etc. of research programs across the government.
