Abstract

The USGS is working with the Federal Advisory Committee on Water Information (ACWI) and its Subcommittee on Ground Water (SOGW) to develop and administer a National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN). This network is required as part of Public Law 111-11, Subtitle F-Secure Water: Section 9507 "Water Data Enhancement by the United States Geological Survey". The Network will consist of an aggregation of well data from existing Federal, Multi-state, State, Tribal, and local groundwater monitoring networks. To support data providers for the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network, the USGS will be providing funding through cooperative agreements to water-resource agencies that collect groundwater data. The USGS will be soliciting applications for funding that will request information from the Agency collecting the data. Elements will include contact information (phone number and email address), and a proposal describing their existing data collection and a plan to evaluate their data for incorporation into the NGWMN. The proposal will be evaluated by the USGS and the NGWMN Program Board to appropriate funding. The proposal will describe the groundwater networks to be included in the NGWMN, the purpose of the networks, an estimate of the number of wells they would submit for the network, an overview of the methods they would use to select and classify wells for the network a description of data collection techniques, and information on their databases. The proposal would also require estimates of one-time costs to complete the above tasks and annual costs to participate in the network.

Abstract

For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to collect more complete provider data for inclusion on the HHS Essential Community Provider (ECP) list to ensure a more accurate reflection of the universe of qualified available ECPs in a given service area that can be counted toward an issuer's satisfaction of the ECP standard. The HHS will collect data on qualified and available ECPs from providers. Providers will submit an ECP petition to be added to the HHS ECP list or provide required missing data fields to remain on the list. The degree of provider participation in this data collection effort through the ECP provider petition will help inform HHS's future proposals for counting issuers' ECP write-ins toward satisfaction of the ECP standard.

Abstract

The Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) is a cyclical, large-scale study of adult skills and life experiences focusing on education and employment. PIAAC is an international study designed to assess adults in different countries over a broad range of abilities, from simple reading to complex problem-solving skills, and to collect information on individuals’ skill use and background. The U.S. will administer the PIAAC 2022 assessment to a nationally representative sample of adults, along with a background questionnaire with questions about their education background, work history, the skills they use on the job and at home, their civic engagement, and sense of their health and well-being. The results are used to compare the skills capacities of the workforce-aged adults in participating countries, and to learn more about relationships between educational background, employment, and other outcomes. PIAAC is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and developed by participating countries with the support of the OECD. In the United States, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED) conducts PIAAC. NCES has contracted with Westat to administer the PIAAC Cycle II Field Test data collection in the U.S. The United States participated in the PIAAC Main Study data collection in 2012 and conducted national supplement data collections in 2014 and 2017. All three of these collections are part of PIAAC Cycle I, in which 39 countries participated (24 countries in 2012, 9 new countries in 2014, and 5 more new countries in 2017) with close to 200,000 adults assessed across the 39 countries over the three data collections. A new PIAAC cycle is to be conducted internationally every 10 years, and PIAAC Cycle II Main Study data collection will be conducted from September 2022 through April 2023. In preparation for the main study collection, PIAAC Cycle II began with an Operational Field Test in 2021, in which 34 countries are expected to participate with the primary goal of testing the PIAAC 2022 planned operations. In recognition of the continuing global pandemic OECD shifted the timeline of PIAAC Cycle II Field Test and Main Study. Originally, the Field Test was scheduled for 2020 and the Main Study for 2021. The first shift in timeline was to move the Field Test to 2021 and the Main Study to 2022. The second shift in the PIAAC Cycle II collection affected the timing and nature of the field test, which was operational only and included a reduced field test effort both in scope and in sampling. In addition, the reduced Operational Field Test shifted the timeline from April through June 2021 to June through August 2021. This submission describes the final plans for the administration of the PIAAC Cycle II 2022 Main Study. As the OECD is still working to finalize some materials for this study, the Appendices will be updated with final materials before the 30D public comment period.

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed to perform research involving the collection of information from the public as part of a multi-year effort to learn about drivers’ use of camera-based rear visibility systems as compared to their use of traditional vehicle outside mirrors. This research will support NHTSA in evaluating whether to pursue a regulation modification that would permit technologies other than mirrors, such as camera-based visibility systems (sometimes referred to as camera monitor systems (CMS)), for compliance with FMVSS No. 111. The data collections will be performed once to obtain the target number of valid test participants. Study participants will be members of the general public and participation will be voluntary. Participants will include licensed car and/or commercial truck drivers aged 25 to 65, who are healthy and able to drive without assistive devices. Participants will be recruited using print and online newspaper advertisements. Study participation will be voluntary and monetary compensation will be provided. The research will be conducted in two parts. Data collection will begin upon receipt of PRA clearance and will first involve light vehicles, and a second, subsequent part will involve heavy trucks. Participants will drive a production vehicle equipped with a commercially available or prototype camera-based visibility system in place of outside mirrors and a vehicle equipped with an original equipment mirror system. The research will involve track-based and on-road, semi-naturalistic driving experimentation. Vehicles used in testing will be equipped with instrumentation for recording driver eye-glance behavior, as well as vehicle speed, position, steering angle, and turn signal status. Sensors will also be used to determine and record the distances between the test vehicle and surrounding vehicles during testing. Information will be collected over the course of the research through participant recruitment screening questions, observation of driving behaviors, and post-drive questionnaires. Questions addressed to individuals will serve to assess individuals’ suitability for study participation, to obtain feedback regarding participants’ use of the CMS, and to gauge individuals’ level of comfort with and confidence in the CMS performance and safety.

Abstract

The Training and Exchanges Automated Management System (TEAMS) is USAID's official data management system and the entry point for data for U.S. exchange visitor programs. TEAMS incorporates processes to manage and support EV's who will come to the U.S. on a USAID J-1 visa. TEAMS manages data by interfacing with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), the system that DHS uses to maintain and monitor participants in U.S. programs. All EV's must be registered in SEVIS. USAID utilizes SEVIS to report on EV programs, and to issue Certificates of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor Status (Form DS-2019). The Automated Directive System (ADS) Chapter 252—Visa Compliance for Exchange Visitors, requires Agency operating units (OUs) or their Implementing Partners, in accordance with their awards, to enter data into TEAMS relevant to U.S. visits by sponsored foreign nationals who are recipients of USAID development assistance. TEAMS replaces the Training Results and Information Network (TraiNet) and Visa Compliance System (VCS). TEAMS combines the functionality of TraiNet and VCS into one system.

Abstract

The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (1968 Act) and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (FDPA), as amended, (collectively referenced herein as the Federal flood insurance statutes) govern the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These laws make Federally subsidized flood insurance available to owners of improved real estate or mobile homes located in participating communities and require the purchase of flood insurance in connection with a loan made by a regulated lending institution when the loan is secured by improved real estate or a mobile home located in a special flood hazard area (SFHA) in which flood insurance is available under the NFIP. The laws specify the amount of insurance that must be purchased, and also require that such insurance be maintained for the term of the loan. (The requirement for flood insurance, and the term and amounts of such coverage, are hereinafter described as “the flood insurance purchase requirement). The OCC, Board, FDIC, FCA, and NCUA (collectively, the Agencies) each have issued regulations implementing these statutory requirements for the lending institutions they supervise. Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (Biggert-Waters Act) amends the Federal flood insurance statutes that the Agencies have authority to implement and enforce. Among other things, the Biggert-Waters Act: (1) requires the Agencies to issue a rule regarding the escrow of premiums and fees for flood insurance; (2) clarifies the requirement to force place insurance; and (3) requires the Agencies to issue a rule to direct regulated lending institutions to accept “private flood insurance,” as defined by the Biggert-Waters Act, and to notify borrowers of the availability of private flood insurance. This non-material change brings the OCC's burden estimates into conformance with the other banking agencies.

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests OMB merge the 0648-0806 temporary information collection into approved information collection 0648-0212, Greater Atlantic Region Logbook Family of Forms. Due to the concurrent timing of the rulemaking for 0648-BF01 and multiple revisions to the collection of information 0648-0212, Greater Atlantic Region Logbook Family of Forms, a temporary collection was created for the rule-related collection. This request seeks to merge the new temporary collection (0648-0806) with 0648-0212 now that all actions have been resolved. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) promulgated a rule (0648-BF01) in 2022 to implement an electronic Harvester Reporting Program for Federal American lobster permit holders in the Greater Atlantic Region. Notice was provided to the public in both the proposed rule (87 FR 41084) and final rule (88 FR 67667) of the creation of a temporary collection for the electronic Harvester Reporting Program that would be merged into 0648-0212 upon resolution of the revision and extension to 0648-0212 and the approval of the final rule package in 0648-0806. The merging of these collections would add 85,123 annual responses, 9,959 burden hours, and $203,562 labor costs to OMB Control Number 0648-0212.
