Abstract

EPA sets exhaust, evaporative, and greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and light-duty trucks (LDTs) based on the authority granted to the Agency by the Clean Air Act (CAA). In addition, light-duty vehicle manufacturers use the results from the exhaust emission tests to calculate vehicle fuel economy. The fuel economy results are used to calculate fuel economy label values according to EPA regulations. EPA regulations define test procedures, in-use testing requirements, calculation methods, vehicle labeling, and reporting requirements for light-duty vehicle manufacturers. This ICR is organized into six information collections (ICs): 1) Fuel Economy; 2) Manufacturers In-Use Verification Program; 3) Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks Emissions; 4) Defect Reports and Voluntary Emissions Recall Reports; 5) Fuel Economy Labeling; and, 6) Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission Standards. Previous ICRs in the 0783 ICR series included the on-highway motorcycle certification and compliance program. Starting with this renewal of ICR 0783 the on-highway motorcycle IC was transferred on 5/19/2017 under a separate ICR (ICR 2535.02, OMB 2060-0710). This ICR covers the application submitted by light-duty vehicle manufacturers prior to production as well as various reports and information submitted during and after production. Processing and review of this information is conducted by the Light-Duty Vehicle Center, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation US EPA.

Abstract

The Department of Education (the Department) requests extension of this information collection regarding Institutional Eligibility regulations in §600.9 – State Authorization. These regulations were a result of negotiated rulemaking in early 2019 and the requirements to these regulations have not changed. The regulations in §600.9(c)(2)(i) require an institution to determine in accordance with the institution’s policies and procedures in which State a student is located while enrolled in a distance education or correspondence course, under either State jurisdiction or when the institution participates in a State authorization reciprocity agreement under which it is covered. The updates to the policies and procedures are not reported to the Department nor is there a specified format for such information. The regulations in §600.9(c)(2)(ii) require an institution, upon request from the Secretary, provide the written documentation of its determination of a student’s location, including the basis for such determination. There is no specific form or format for the institutions to provide this information to the Department upon request. It is anticipated that an institution would provide the pertinent portions of the policy and procedures manual to respond to such a request from the Department, but it may provide the requested information in another method.

Abstract

The FERC-549B covers the various aspects of releasing and acquiring natural gas pipeline capacity that are needed for regulatory oversight and efficient business transactions to occur easily. There are three distinct reporting requirements under the FERC-549B information collection: (1) capacity reports related to firm, released and interruptible transportation service; (2) peak day annual capacity reports; and (3) Index of Customers. The Commission uses the information collected in the FERC-549B to analyze capacity held on pipelines and to ensure that rates for gas capacity are just and reasonable. The FERC-549B allows the Commission to monitor marketplace behavior as well as to detect and remedy anti-competitive behavior. Shippers of natural gas need to use all FERC-549B information about the capacity in pipeline corridors, especially the data related to the value of capacity. Shippers use this information to determine where capacity is available and when as well as to make informed decisions about the capacity they may want to purchase.

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has invested considerable resources into strategies to address family homelessness. Senate Report 109-109 for the FY 2006 Transportation, Treasury, Judiciary, HUD, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill directed the Department to focus its energies on families who experience homelessness and to “undertake research to ascertain the impact of various service and housing interventions in ending homelessness for families.” In 2008, HUD launched the Family Options Study, a multi-site experiment designed to test the impacts of different housing and service interventions on families who experience homelessness, in five key domains: housing stability, family preservation, adult well-being, child well-being, and self-sufficiency. The study, conducted by Abt Associates and its partner Vanderbilt University, compared the effect of three active interventions—long-term housing subsidy, community-based rapid re-housing, and project-based transitional housing—to one another and to the usual care available in the study communities. From September 2010 through January 2012, 2,282 families (with 5,397 children) across 12 communities enrolled in the Family Options Study after spending at least 7 days in emergency shelter. At the time of enrollment families provided their consent to participate in the study and completed a baseline survey (OMB #2528-0259, Expiration Date: 05/31/2013). The study randomized these 2,282 families to one of four interventions distinguished by the type and duration of housing assistance and supportive services. The research team tracked the families for over three years and administered two separate follow-up surveys to families during that time period under the same OMB control number; a 20-month followup survey (OMB #2528-0259, Expiration Date: 3/31/2015) and a 37-month followup survey (OMB #2528-0259, Expiration Date: 3/31/2017).

Abstract

In the COVID-19 era many Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and Property Owner Agents (POA) as well as families have been reluctant to conduct or allow the inspectors to conduct physical inspections as additional COVID variants still pose threats. This means that residents may be living in undesirable or unhealthy conditions. To address these potential concerns with minimum risk or exposure or disruption to residents, the Department would like to employ RVI. The RVI protocol is a tool that efficiently allows HUD to provide inspections to those properties that are unable to receive in-person inspections due to COVID. The RVI protocol is a tool that allows HUD to provide oversight to those properties that are unable to receive in-person inspections, including habitability inspections due to national emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
