Procedural Justice-Informed Alternatives to Contempt Demonstration (PJAC)

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of the Procedural Justice Informed Alternatives to Contempt Demonstration (PJAC) demonstration project is to assess the feasibility and efficacy of incorporating principles of procedural justice into child support services as a cost-effective alternative to civil contempt proceedings. The PJAC Demonstration will add to the evidence base on innovations in child support practices by evaluating PJAC’s impacts and determining whether the benefits of PJAC services exceed their costs. The PJAC Evaluation includes three key components: an implementation study, an impact study, and a benefit-cost study. Information collection related to PJAC was initially approved January 2018. In May 2020 a revision request was approved to add additional data collection activities and extend the data collection timeline. About 11,380 noncustodial parents were randomly assigned into the PJAC study sample between February 2018 and September 2020. Collection of baseline data (Instrument 1) and data on service receipt (Instrument 2) is complete. Both of two initially planned rounds of implementation visits to each participating study site are complete, during which interviews with child support project directors, case managers, and external supportive service partners took place (Instrument 3). A web-based staff survey was administered in Spring/Summer 2020 (Instrument 5) and the staff time study was administered in early Fall 2020 (Instrument 6). Interviews with parents were also conducted in the Fall of 2020 (Instruments 4 and 7). An additional round of interviews with parents (Instruments 4 and 7) and staff (Instrument 3) was approved in March 2022 and is slated to take place in Fall 2022. We are requesting approval to continue data collection with the following previously approved instruments: o Instrument 3: Staff and Community Partner Interview Topic Guide o Instrument 4: Noncustodial parent participant interview protocol o Instrument 7: Custodial parent participant interview protocol Additionally, we propose to conduct data for two additional interviews for a supplemental study to capture information about experiences of bias. This supplement will provide more information to address the project’s goal of better understanding fairness of process. The additional interviews include: o Instrument 8: Topic Guide for Interviews about Experiences of Bias with Child Support Staff and Partners o Instrument 9: Topic Guide for Interviews about Experiences of Bias with Noncustodial Parents

Understanding Economic Risk for Families with Low Incomes: Economic Security, Program Benefits, and Decisions About Work

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is for a new project. The research team is requesting two years of approval. The purpose of this project is to understand the role of economic risk in public benefit recipients’ decision making about whether to increase earnings. This study will investigate the factors that influence the decisions made by people with low incomes to increase earnings (or not) by presenting beneficiaries with vignettes about other people with the opportunity to increase their earnings and asking them what decision they would make in similar circumstances. The vignettes will vary the risk of an opportunity, the ease of regaining benefits if income later dropped, and the extent of the earnings increase. The job opportunities and associated risks will vary systematically. The choices that study participants recommend will provide insight into the relative importance of these different factors – both alone and in combination. Guided by a better understanding of the role of risk and risk tolerance in families’ decisions about work, the government could design policy levers to reduce risk and thereby support families’ choices to increase earnings and achieve greater economic security.

Operations Specifications, Part 129 Application

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of the collection of information is used to evaluate whether foreign air carriers requesting new authority or with existing authority to operate in the U.S. will be able to conduct their operations safely within the National Airspace System (NAS) and in compliance with international obligations. Operators meeting those standards are issued operations specifications (OpSpecs) authorizing them to operate in the U.S. Consistent with previous practices, FAA includes a regulatory standard for issuing maintenance OpSpecs to persons operating U.S.-registered aircraft outside the U.S. in common carriage. Operators are required to respond, as needed, to the collection to obtain or retain a benefit (OpSpecs). OpSpecs are issued to the operator applying. OpSpecs are not available for viewing to the general public. OpSpecs are available for viewing to FAA offices for the purpose of safety oversight of the operators. FAA occasionally shares OpSpecs information, as needed, with other agencies such as Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Department of Transportation (DOT) or to answer questions from U.S. congress. The FAA requires foreign operators applying for the issuance or amendment of OpSpecs to submit supporting documentation. The type of documentation that a foreign operator needs to provide to the FAA is identified in FAA Order 8900.1 volume 12, which is publicly available . The information is helpful to new applicants as well as existing operators.
