Abstract

In 2010, the Federal banking agencies, and the NCUA, in conjunction with the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, issued a policy statement summarizing the principles of sound liquidity risk management that the agencies previously issued and, where appropriate, brought them into conformance with the "Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision" issued by the Basel Committee on Banking and Supervision in September 2008. Section 14 of the Policy Statement provides that institutions should consider liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in their strategic planning and budgeting processes. Significant business activities should be evaluated for liquidity risk exposure as well as profitability. More complex and sophisticated institutions should incorporate liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in the internal product pricing, performance measurement, and new product approval process for all material business lines, products, and activities. Incorporating the cost of liquidity into these functions should align the risk-taking incentives of individual business lines with the liquidity risk exposure their activities create for the institution as a whole. The quantification and attribution of liquidity risks should be explicit and transparent at the line management level and should include consideration of how the institution’s liquidity would be affected under stressed conditions. Section 20 of the Policy Statement states that liquidity risk reports should provide aggregate information with sufficient supporting detail to enable management to assess the sensitivity of the institution to changes in market conditions, its own financial performance, and other important risk factors. Institutions also should report on the use and availability of government support, such as lending and guarantee programs, and the implications on liquidity positions, particularly because these programs generally are temporary or reserved as a source for contingent funding.

Abstract

The Department of the Interior and its bureaus (Department or DOI) has various authorities that permit the acceptance of donations or gifts in furtherance of resource conservation projects and other programs. Before accepting a donation, DOI must first evaluate whether or not the circumstances of the donation maintain the integrity of the Department's programs and operations, the impartiality of the Department, and public confidence in the Department. Prior to enacting the Donations Policy, DOI conducted a risk analysis in which $25,000 was determined to be the threshold above which there was a greater risk of possible legal or ethical questions associated with donations. Therefore, for donations valued at $25,000 or more, donors are requested to complete a DI-3680 Donor Certification form (DI-3680 form) to provide information clarifying business and legal interactions with the Department and consistency with the Donations Policy prior to acceptance.

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) amendment covers the proposed revisions to the Certification of Pesticide Applicators at 40 CFR Part 171, which regulates the certification of applicators of restricted use pesticides (RUPs), assuming that the proposed amendments become final. This ICR estimates the incremental burden of the proposed changes not already included in the currently approved ICR Certification of Pesticide Applicators (OMB No: 2070-0029) covering the current 40 CFR Part 171. The existing regulation has provisions for states, tribes, territories, and federal agencies that wish to certify applicators to use RUPs to submit certification plans to EPA for review and approval, and requirements to report on specific information related to applicator certification activities annually. The regulation has standards of competency for persons who are certified to apply RUPs, as well as requirements related to noncertified applicators who apply RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators. In addition, it already requires pesticide dealers to maintain records of RUP sales in areas where EPA administers an applicator certification program. EPA is proposing changes to the rule to improve the competency of certified applicators of RUPs and noncertified applicators who apply RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators. Proposed changes to the rule include new and revised standards for certification for commercial and private applicators, provisions for recertification of applicators, and training for noncertified applicators applying RUPs under the supervision of certified applicators. The proposal also includes changes to improve the clarity and organization of the rule and overall program operation. The proposed changes to the regulation are intended to ensure that all persons who use RUPs i.e., private applicators, commercial applicators, and noncertified applicators using RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators are competent to use RUPs in a manner that will not result in unreasonable adverse effects to themselves, others, or the environment. This amendment ICR estimates the burden and costs of the proposed changes related to information collection and includes: training for noncertified applicators applying RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators, recordkeeping of the noncertified applicator training, recordkeeping of RUP sales by pesticide dealerships under certification programs not administered by EPA, and costs to states, territories, tribes, and federal agencies to revise certification plans as needed to comply with the proposed requirements.

Abstract

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is a trade data processing system that is replacing the Automated Commercial System (ACS), the current import system for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations. ACE is authorized by Executive Order 13659 which mandates implementation of a Single Window through which businesses will transmit data required by participating agencies for the importation or exportation of cargo. See 79 FR 10655 (February 25, 2014). ACE supports government agencies and the trade community with border-related missions with respect to moving goods across the border efficiently and securely. Once ACE is fully implemented, all related CBP trade functions and the trade community will be supported from a single common user interface. To establish an ACE Portal account, participants submit information such as their name, their employer identification number (EIN) or social security number (SSN), and if applicable, a statement certifying their capability to connect to the internet. This information is submitted through the ACE Secure Data Portal which is accessible at: http://www.cbp.gov/trade/automated. Please Note: A CBP-assigned number may be provided in lieu of your SSN. If you have an EIN, that number will automatically be used and no CBP number will be assigned. A CBP-assigned number is for CBP use only. There is a standalone capability for electronically filing protests in ACE. This capability is available for participants who have not established ACE Portal Accounts for other trade activities, but desire to file protests electronically. A protest is a procedure whereby a private party may administratively challenge a CBP decision regarding imported merchandise and certain other CBP decisions. Trade members can establish a protest filer account in ACE through a separate application and the submission of specific data elements. See 81 FR 57928 (August 24, 2016).

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per gallon of the Federal excise tax paid on distilled spirits subsequently used in the manufacture of certain nonbeverage products such as medicines, food products, flavors, and perfumes. Manufacturers making such products must file claims proving their eligibility for drawback, and respondents may file such claims either on a monthly or a quarterly basis. To protect the revenue, the IRC also authorizes the Secretary to require persons filing monthly nonbeverage product drawback claims to provide a bond. See 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114. The TTB regulations in 27 CFR parts 17 and 26 require monthly nonbeverage drawback claimants to file such a bond using form TTB F 5154.3. The required bond ensures repayment of paid claims later found to be ineligible for nonbeverage drawback in cases when the claimant is unable to repay the taxes due.

Abstract

This information collection was established as a special control for the class II device type, Novel Influenza A Reagents. This classification results from the review of a request from a device sponsor (CDC) for a diagnostic test intended to diagnose influenza subtype H5 (Asian lineage), commonly known as avian flu. This classification permits the legal distribution of this device, and the information collection addressed here plays a significant role in providing a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of this device and of similar future devices. Specifically, the information collection asks sponsors to obtain and analyze data postmarket to ensure the continued reliability of the device, given the propensity of influenza viruses to mutate and the potential for changes in disease prevalence. This involves collecting data on the clinical performance of the device under new prevalence conditions if there is a change in prevalence of influenza caused by the specific novel virus that the device is intended to detect, as compared to the prevalence of this virus when the clinical studies described in the 510(k) were conducted. The information collection described above is a measure that FDA determined to be necessary to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of Novel Influenza A Reagents.

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) is for an extension to continue ongoing approved data collection activities and add additional activities for the sample enrolled in the Evaluation of Employment Coaching for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Related Populations. This data collection will provide information about the effectiveness of employment coaching programs in helping TANF and other low-income populations achieve economic independence. The proposed extension for the second follow-up survey data collection under OMB #0970-0506 will allow for continued follow-up in the evaluation sites. The extension is necessary to complete the second follow-up survey. There are no changes to the previously approved information collection. The approved data collections for this study provide information about program impacts for the first 21 to 24 months after study enrollment. However, it is possible that the programs continue to generate impacts beyond this period, particularly given that three employment coaching interventions included in the study continue to provide services beyond the period covered by the second follow-up survey. The proposed new information collection through a third follow-up survey under OMB #0970-0506 will provide information about participants at least four years after random assignment. This activity will provide rigorous evidence on whether the coaching interventions are effective, for whom, and under what circumstances over the longer term. The information collected at a later follow-up point will be used to assess how employment coaching might have a continued effect on participants long after they have left coaching programs. Qualitative analysis of completed approved data collections related to the implementation study suggest the importance of the relationship between the coach and program participant and certain program features, such as participation incentives. The proposed new information collection through follow-up semi-structured interviews with management, staff, supervisors, and participants under OMB #0970-0506 will enable additional input from employment coaching program staff and participants on the processes and perceptions of employment coaching. The proposed new data collection instruments will provide descriptive information about how coaches form trusting relationships with their participants and other key topics that have emerged as important in analysis of previously collected study data.
