Abstract

This information collection is necessary so that DCSA can provide proper monitoring and oversight of companies with Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), while those companies provide services on a U.S. government contract. In order to mitigate foreign ownership risks, DCSA approves the nomination of Outside Director/Proxy Holder(s) (OD/PH) for the specified company. The OD/PH will be a cleared U.S. citizen, disinterested in the company and its shareholder, who can exercise management prerogative to ensure the foreign owner is effectively insulated from controlling or influencing the management or business of the cleared company in a manner that could affect its performance on classified contracts.

Abstract

The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA–21) (P.L. 105-178), section 1207(c) [see Attachment I], directed the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study of ferry transportation in the United States and its possessions. In 2000, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Intermodal and Statewide Planning conducted a survey (OMB Approval Number 2125-0584) of approximately 250 ferry operators to identify: (1) existing ferry operations including the location and routes served; (2) source and amount, if any, of funds derived from Federal, State, or local governments supporting ferry construction or operations; (3) potential domestic ferry routes in the United States and its possessions and to develop information on those routes; and (4) potential for use of high speed ferry services and alternative-fueled ferry services. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) Public Law 109-59, Section 1801(e) [see Attachment II] requires that the Secretary, acting through the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), shall establish and maintain (biennially) a national ferry database containing current information regarding routes, vessels, passengers and vehicles carried, funding sources and such other information as the Secretary considers useful. Recently enacted FAST Act [Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (P.L. 114-94, Sec. 1112) - see Attachment IV], continues the BTS mandate to conduct the National Census of Ferry Operators (NCFO) and requires that the FHWA use the NCFO data as input to the specific formula for allocating federal ferry funds ($80 million for 62016 through 2020). The funding allocations are based on a percentage of the number of passenger boardings, vehicle boardings, and route miles served.

Abstract

The Origin and Destination Survey (OND) is a mandatory collection according to Section 14, Part 241, Section 19-7, Origin and Destination Survey. The Respondents are Air Carriers that operate aircraft with 61 or greater seats and/or, operate an international route. This collection is considered a reporting collection with survey. The data are reported on a quarterly basis, 45 days after the end of the previous quarter. Information reported includes data about sampled passenger tickets, including year of travel, quarter of travel, fare paid, origin of passenger, destination of passenger, intermediate points/stop-overs by the passenger, airline carrier that reported the passenger ticket, the airline carriers that flew the passenger and the air carrier that sold the passenger the ticket. The OND data are used by the DOT Office of Aviation Analysis, the FAA, Airports, Airlines, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security and the Public. The purpose of the collection is to determine and analyze where an airline passenger initiated their travels, where their travels ended, and the price that they paid for travel. This is not a revision to the current process Air carriers must report data on one percent of the flight coupons involving large domestic markets, which are defined as major city pairs with directional origin-destination passengers in excess of 35,000 annual passengers.

Abstract

Rule 17Ad-10, 17 CFR 240.17Ad-10, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, requires a registered transfer agent to create and maintain minimum information on securityholders’ ownership of an issue of securities for which it performs transfer agent functions, including the purchase, transfer and redemption of securities. In addition, the rule also requires transfer agents that maintain securityholder records to keep certificate detail that has been deleted from those records for a minimum of six years and to maintain and keep current an accurate record of the number of shares or principle dollar amount of debt securities that the issuer has authorized to be outstanding (a “control book”). These recordkeeping requirements assist in the creation and maintenance of accurate securityholder records, the ability to research errors, and ensure the transfer agent is aware of the number of securities that are properly authorized by the issuer, thereby avoiding overissuance. Transfer agents are required to establish written standards for the acceptance or rejection of guarantees of securities transfers from eligible guarantor institutions. Transfer agents are also required to establish procedures, including written guidelines where appropriate, to ensure that those standards are used in determining whether to accept or reject guarantees from eligible guarantor institutions.

Abstract

Public Law 116-315, Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020, provided authority for VA's Homeless Programs Office (HPO) to grant funding to eligible organizations that will coordinate or provide legal services to Veterans who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Several sections, including section 4202, of the Act were created to better serve Veterans who are struggling with homelessness or housing insecurity. Requests for funding by applicants are likely to exceed the amount of funding appropriated to the VA for these grants. The VA must collect data to prioritize applicants for funding. The legal authority for this data collection is found under 38 USC, Part I, Chapter 5, Section 527, which authorizes the collection of data that will allow measurement and evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Programs, the goal of which is to improve health care and services for Veterans. This information collection includes grant eligibility criteria, application requirements, scoring criteria, constraints on the allocation and use of the funds, and other requirements necessary to implement this grant program. HPO will use information collected to determine if an applicant is eligible to receive grant funding. HPO also will obtain information necessary to ensure that federal funds are awarded to applicants who are financially stable and have the capacity to conduct the program for which a grant is awarded. HPO could not perform its statutory obligation to administer the program if this data were not collected.

Abstract

OMB Circular A-126, Subject: Improving the Management and Use of Government Aircraft (May 22, 1992), requires that government agencies that fly non-official passengers in a Space Available status charge them the “full coach fare” cost of their seat on the government aircraft. Circular A-126 defines “full coach fare” as “a coach fare available to the general public between the day that the travel was planned and the day that the travel occurred.” Id. ¶ 4f. To properly bill these passengers, ICE must set up accounts receivable in the Federal Financial Management System (FFMS). Accounts receivable must be based on legally valid debts. The Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement (FM/BA) form will collect the contact information needed to send bills to these passengers from FFMS, and will document their agreement to be billed for their seats on these flights. The ICE Flight Manifest Information/Agreement To Reimburse form is used to collect information from members of the public, contractors, Federal employees, or dependents who intend to board ICE-chartered aircraft for purposes of evacuation. The purposes of the data collected on this form are two-fold. First, ICE will verify the individual’s identity before he/she boards an ICE-chartered aircraft to assess the safety of the aircraft, its crew, other passengers, and the United States. Further, the data collected on the form is also used in the event of an emergency to help ensure timely notification of points of contact designated by the passenger. Second, the form will confirm the agreement of Space Available passengers to be billed for their travel, and establish the names, addresses, and Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for billing and collection purposes. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) at the airfield of embarkation will collect pertinent data for flight manifest information from all persons wishing to fly on an ICE-chartered aircraft prior to their boarding of the aircraft. Only passengers flying in a Space Available status, that is, private persons not on official government travel orders, will be required to complete the relevant fields on the form stating the reason for Space Available travel and requesting their signature to document their agreement to be billed for their travel. In special emergency situations, the form may be completed in-flight. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) will then submit the completed forms and the flight manifest to the program office that chartered the flight and to the Emergency Management Unit via email, as soon as practicable upon completion of the flight.

Abstract

Section 309 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the Act), Public Law 115-174 requires VA to promulgate regulations for cash-out refinance home loans within 180 days after the date of the enactment of the Act. Section 309 of the Act was codified at 38 U.S.C. 3709. VA’s regulation governing refinancing cash-out loans is found at 38 CFR 36.4306. Section 309 requires that a refinanced VA home loan may not be guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, unless, a specified minimum time period has passed between the original loan and the refinancing loan; and the lender complies with provisions related to fee recoupment, mortgage interest rates, and net tangible benefit tests. These provisions ensure that the refinancing loan is in the financial interest of the Veteran.

Abstract

The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) requires certain depository institutions and for-profit nondepository institutions to collect, report, and disclose data about originations and purchases of mortgage loans, as well as mortgage loan applications that do not result in originations (for example, applications that are denied or withdrawn). The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (Bureau) Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003, implements HMDA. The purpose of the information collection is: (i) to help determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities; (ii) to assist public officials in distributing public-sector investment so as to attract private investment to areas where it is needed; and (iii) to assist in identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing antidiscrimination statutes. The information collection will also assist the Bureau’s examiners, and examiners of other federal supervisory agencies, in determining that the financial institutions they supervise comply with applicable provisions of HMDA.

Abstract

The current package reflects a request for revisions to the 2019 previously approved collection pertaining to the Drug Free Communities Support Program (DFC) and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Local Drug Crises Grants program. DFC was created by the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law (P.L. 105-20) and was recently reauthorized again by the SUPPORT Act (P.L. 115-271). Most recently, P.L. 116-74 (2019), updated language in the law (ONDCP Technical Corrections Act of 2019). The DFC authorizing statute (21 USC §§ 1521–1536) provides that community-based coalitions addressing youth substance use can receive Federal grant funds and that the amount of each DFC grant award shall not exceed $125,000 annually. The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Local Drug Crises Grants program was created by the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (P.L. 114-198) as a follow-on grant program for DFC recipients. ONDCP, the lead agency for setting U.S. drug control policy and strategy, provides funding through the DFC Program to build community capacity for preventing and reducing substance abuse among our nation’s youth. ONDCP directs both the DFC and CARA Programs. Since October 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention & Control (NCIPC) provides Government Project Officers (GPO) and grants management support to the grant award recipients. Both ONDCP and GPO contributed to the current OMB packet. DFC has two primary goals: to prevent and reduce youth substance use and to support community coalitions in building capacity to address youth substance use. These goals are addressed by establishing, strengthening, and fostering collaboration among public and private non-profit agencies, as well as Federal, State, local, and tribal governments. As a follow-on to DFC, the CARA grant recipients have similar goals, although with a narrower focus on prevention/reduction in youth substance use of opioids and methamphetamine. Specifically, CARA goals are to enhance the ability of established (current or former DFC program recipients) community organizations to create community-level change to prevent or reduce use of opioids, methamphetamine, and/or prescription drugs (misuse) among youth ages 12-18 and to change the culture and context regarding the acceptability of youth use and misuse of these substances through implementation of a comprehensive community-wide action plan. Ideally both grant programs empower community coalitions to become self-sufficient. The current request pertains to revisions to the DFC & CARA progress reports while the case study protocols and the DFC Coalition Classification Tool (CCT) are largely unchanged. These changes have been determined necessary to facilitate the monitoring and tracking of grant recipient progress while simultaneously improving the quality of data and keeping grant recipient burden to a minimum.
