Change Requests

What is an ICR?

An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection, supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.

The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.

Where to find an ICR?

ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

FERC Form 580, Interrogatory on Fuel and Energy Purchase Practices

Key Information

Abstract

The FERC Form No. 580 (Form 580) interrogatory is conducted every two years. On this form the Commission collects information from public utilities subject to its jurisdiction that own or operate power plants that generate a minimum of 50MW. Presently there are approximately 40 public utilities that file the form. The information collected through the Form 580 interrogatory is used by Commission staff to review utility purchase and cost recovery practices through AACs (automatic adjustment clauses) to ensure efficient use of resources, in compliance with the statute and with Commission regulations promulgated in 18 CFR §35.14. The information is also used by the Commission and the public to evaluate costs in individual rate filings and to supplement periodic utility audits. We include the administrative non-substantive changes updates for the period covered. For example, the year range will change from “2022-2023” to "2024-2025."

FERC-519, Application Under Federal Power Act Section 203

Key Information

Abstract

According to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), FERC approval is required for transactions in which a public utility disposes of jurisdictional facilities, merges such facilities with facilities owned by another person, or acquires the securities of another public utility. Under the statute, FERC must find that the proposed transaction will be consistent with the public interest. The information collected under the FERC-519 enables the Commission to meet its statutory responsibilities regarding public utility disposition, merger, consolidation of facilities, purchase, or acquisition oversight and enforcement in accordance with the FPA as referenced above. Without this information, FERC would be unable to meet these responsibilities. The required information includes descriptions of corporate attributes of the party or parties to the proposed transaction (e.g. a sale, lease, or other disposition, merger, or consolidation of facilities, or purchase of other acquisition of the securities of a public utility and the facilities or other property involved in the transaction), statements about effect of the transaction, and the applicant’s proof that the transaction will be consistent with the public interest.

Subcontracting Plans; FAR Section Affected: 52.219-9; SF 294; eSRS

Key Information

Abstract

This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply with the requirements in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plans, regarding subcontracting plans as follows: a. Subcontracting plan. In accordance with section 8(d) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)), any contractor receiving a contract for more than the simplified acquisition threshold must agree in the contract that small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance. Further, 15 U.S.C. 637(d) imposes the requirement that contractors receiving a contract that is expected to exceed, or a contract modification that causes a contract to exceed, $750,000 ($1.5 million for construction) and has subcontracting possibilities, shall submit an acceptable subcontracting plan that provides maximum practicable opportunities for small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. Specific elements required to be included in the plan are specified in section 8(d) of the Small Business Act and implemented in FAR subpart 19.7 and the clause at FAR 52.219-9. b. Summary Subcontract Report (SSR). In conjunction with the subcontracting plan requirements, contractors with subcontracting plans must submit an annual summary of subcontracts awarded as prime and subcontractors for each specific Federal Government agency. Contractors submit the information in a SSR through the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS). This is required for all contractors with subcontracting plans regardless of the type of plan (i.e., commercial or individual). c. Individual Subcontract Report (ISR). In conjunction with the subcontracting plan requirements, contractors with individual subcontracting plans must submit semi-annual reports of their small business subcontracting progress. Contractors submit the information through eSRS in an ISR, the electronic equivalent of the Standard Form (SF) 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts. Contracts that are not reported in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) in accordance with FAR 4.606(c)(5) do not submit ISRs in eSRS; they will continue to use the SF 294 to submit the information to the agency. d. Written explanation for not using a small business subcontractor as specified in the proposal or subcontracting plan. Section 1322 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Jobs Act), Pub. L. 111-240, amends the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(6)) to require as part of a subcontracting plan that a prime contractor make good faith effort to utilize a small business subcontractor during performance of a contract to the same degree the prime contractor relied on the small business in preparing and submitting its bid or proposal. If a prime contractor does not utilize a small business subcontractor as described above, the prime contractor is required to explain, in writing, to the contracting officer the reasons why it is unable to do so.

National Traffic Safety Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking approval of this information collection request (ICR) to allow NHTSA to conduct six information collections as part of a new voluntary research effort titled the National Traffic Safety Survey (NTSS). The purpose of the surveys is to obtain up-to-date information about road user attitudes and behaviors related to motor vehicle safety. The respondents will be members of the public that are contacted through nationally representative sampling methods. Participation by respondents will be voluntary. Each of the surveys will contain a set of core questions that will be asked across all surveys and a combination of two additional sections consisting of questions related to seat belts, distracted driving, new vehicle technologies, or traffic safety and traffic safety enforcement. This collection only asks respondents to report their answers; there are no record-keeping costs to respondents. Each survey will have a combination of two of the four topic areas, and the order of the topic areas will be varied. The NTSS is intended to collect approximately 6,001 surveys, or 1,000 of each type of survey (with 500 surveys collected for each order in which the additional topic sections would appear). NHTSA intends to conduct a pilot of the survey first with approximately 250 respondents, followed by a full administration of the survey to 6,001 respondents, and a possible follow-up administration of the survey two years later with 6,001 respondents. For purposes of this ICR, NHTSA assumes that the survey will be conducted twice, as well as the pilot being conducted once. Accordingly, the estimates for the three-year approval are based on an average annual burden based on these targets, with an estimate that there will be approximately 681 annual respondents for each of the six information collections. The contractor conducting this information collection is ICF International, Inc. ICF’s IRB will review and approve this data collection prior to fielding. ICF’s IRB meets all federal requirements in 45 CFR 46, is registered with the Office for Human Research Protections, and has a Federalwide Assurance (FWA00002349). NHTSA will use the information from this collection to produce a technical report that presents the results of the survey, as well as a dataset that does not contain any personally identifiable information (PII). The technical report will provide aggregate (summary) statistics and tables as well as the results of statistical analyses of the information, but it will not include any PII. The technical report will be shared with State highway safety offices, local governments, policymakers, researchers, educators, advocates, and others who may wish to use the data from this survey to support their work. NHTSA estimates the total annual burden associated with this ICR to be 2,046 hours and $0.

Abstract

The DoD, GSA and NASA are combining OMB Control Nos. for the FAR by FAR part. This consolidation is expected to improve industry’s ability to easily and efficiently identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. The review of the information collections (IC's) by FAR part allows improved oversight to ensure there is no redundant or unaccounted for burden placed on industry. Lastly, combining IC's in a given FAR part is also expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with processing multiple IC's. This justification supports the revision of the expiration date of OMB Control No. 9000-0048 and combines it with the previously approved IC's under OMB Control No. 9000-0078, with the new title “Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15 Requirements”. Upon approval of this consolidated IC, 9000-0078 will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under the discontinued number will be covered under 9000-0048. This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: a. FAR 15.407-2(e), Make-or-buy programs. When prospective contractors are required to submit proposed make-or-buy program plans for negotiated acquisitions. b. FAR 52.215-1(c)(2)(iv), Authorized Negotiators. This provision requires firms offering supplies or services to the Government under negotiated solicitations to provide the names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of authorized negotiators to assure that discussions are held with authorized individuals. c. FAR 52.215-9, Changes or Additions to Make-or-Buy Program. This clause requires the contractor to submit, in writing, for the contracting officer's advance approval a notification and justification of any proposed change in the make-or-buy program incorporated in the contract. d. FAR 52.215-14, Integrity of Unit Prices. This clause requires offerors and contractors under negotiated solicitations and contracts to identify those supplies which they will not manufacture or to which they will not contribute significant value, if requested by the contracting officer or when contracting without adequate price competition. e. FAR 52.215-19, Notification of Ownership Changes. This clause requires contractors to notify the administrative contracting officer when the contractor becomes aware that a change in its ownership has occurred, or is certain to occur, that could result in changes in the valuation of its capitalized assets in the accounting records. f. FAR 52.215-22, Limitations on Pass-Through Charges—Identification of Subcontract Effort. This provision requires offerors submitting a proposal for a contract, task order, or delivery order. g. FAR 52.215-23, Limitations on Pass-Through Charges. This clause requires contractors to provide a description of the value added by the contractor or subcontractor, as applicable, as related to the subcontract effort if the effort changes from the amount identified in the proposal such that it exceeds 70 percent of the total cost of work to be performed.

Subcontract Consent and Contractors’ Purchasing System Review; FAR Section Affected: 52.244-2

Key Information

Abstract

This clearance covers the information that a contractor must submit to comply with the requirements in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.244-2, Subcontracts, regarding consent to subcontract, advance notification, and Contractors’ purchasing system review as follows: a. Consent to subcontract. This is the contracting officer’s written consent for the prime contractor to enter into a particular subcontract. In order for the contracting officer responsible for consent to make an informed decision, the prime contractor must submit adequate information to ensure that the proposed subcontract is appropriate for the risks involved and consistent with current policy and sound business judgment. The review allows the Government to determine whether the contractor’s purchasing policies and practices are efficient and adequately protect the Government’s interests. If the contractor has an approved purchasing system, consent is required for subcontracts specifically identified by the contracting officer in the subcontracts clause of the contract. The contracting officer may require consent to subcontract if the contracting officer has determined that an individual consent action is required to protect the Government adequately because of the subcontract type, complexity, or value, or because the subcontract needs special surveillance. These can be subcontracts for critical systems, subsystems, components, or services. If the contractor does not have an approved purchasing system, consent to subcontract is required for cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, labor-hour, or letter contracts, and also for unpriced actions under fixed-price contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). b. Advance notification. Prime contractors must provide contracting officers notification before the award of any cost-plus-fixed-fee subcontract, or certain fixed-price subcontracts that are identified in paragraph (b), (c) and (d) of FAR clause 52.244-2. This requirement for advance notification is driven by statutory requirements in 10 U.S.C. 2306 and 41 U.S.C. 3905. c. Contractors’ Purchasing System Review. The objective of a contractor purchasing system review (CPSR), is to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness with which a contractor spends Government funds and complies with Government policy when subcontracting. Paragraph (i) of FAR clause 52.244-2 specifies that the Government reserves the right to review the contractor’s purchasing system as set forth in FAR subpart 44.3. This clause is the mechanism through which the requirements of FAR subpart 44.3 are applied to contractors. FAR 44.302 requires the administrative contracting officer (ACO) to determine the need for a CPSR based on, but not limited to, the past performance of the contractor, and the volume, complexity and dollar value of subcontracts. If a contractor’s sales to the Government (excluding competitively awarded firm-fixed-price and competitively awarded fixed-price with economic price adjustment contracts and sales of commercial products and commercial services pursuant to part 12) are expected to exceed $25 million during the next 12 months, the ACO will perform a review to determine if a CPSR is needed. Sales include those represented by prime contracts, subcontracts under Government prime contracts, and modifications. FAR 44.305-2(c) requires that when recommendations are made for improvement of an approved system, the contractor shall be requested to reply within 15 days with a position regarding the recommendations. FAR 44.305-3(b) requires when approval of the contractor's purchasing system is withheld or withdrawn, the ACO shall within 10 days after completing the in-plant review (1) inform the contractor in writing, (2) specify the deficiencies that must be corrected to qualify the system for approval, and (3) request the contractor to furnish within 15 days a plan for accomplishing the necessary actions.

Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety Field Operational Test (DADSS-FOT)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval of a renewal with modification of currently approved information collection request (ICR) titled “Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety - Field Operational Test (DADSS-FOT).” This ICR is for a voluntary information collection to evaluate breath-based sensor technologies that are integrated into research vehicles. The purpose of the information collection is to collect information to provide a greater understanding of the performance of both breath- and touch-based sensors with actual dosed passengers using the technology under varying environmental conditions. Although the sensors will undergo significant laboratory testing, it is necessary to evaluate their function in real-world environmental conditions to ensure that they will be operational for all possible conditions. This ICR is for the collection of data from human subjects to allow NHTSA to perform real-world testing. The primary component of this information collection is the collection of sensor data during a Field Operational Test (FOT) involving human subjects; however, demographic information about participants and post-test information will be collected as well. The objectives of the FOT are to: (1) Determine the effectiveness of the DADSS sensors in a real-world driving environment; (2) Analyze DADSS breath- and touch-based sensors in real-world driving scenarios; and (3) Obtain technical data to further refine the DADSS Performance Specifications that will ultimately be used for system design and product development. Respondents are voluntary participants that will be accepted for inclusion based on a pre-screening interview to ensure they are able to consume alcohol. For the study, NHTSA intends to collect data from a total of 480 uniquely individual participants to collect a minimum of 312,000 data points through their participative rides/drives. NHTSA has already collected data from 62 participants and will need to collect data from an additional 418 individuals .. The respondent selection interviewing is a one-time data collection and the respondents have the opportunity to participate in the FOT up to 60 times within the study; however, for the 62 individuals that have participated, they have participated an average of 2.13 times. In accordance with DOT policy on research involving human subjects, this study has been reviewed and approved by a Health and Human Services-approved Institutional Review Board before data collection began. Recipients of the respondent information are the data analysts and researchers and the data are used initially to assess whether to include the respondent in the study and later to assess the functionality of the in-vehicle equipment. During the FOT, the only data collected from the human subjects will be measurement data from sensors on the vehicle, which will be recorded and used by the data analysts and researchers. This information collection is under request for extension and both the annual burden hours and the total annual burden cost have been revised based on the study experience up to August 31, 2021. The original ICR reported a total 2-year burden estimate of 115,830 hours (annual burden of 57,915 hours) and a total 2-year cost of $2,256,847.50 (annual cost of $1,128,423.75). These were estimates of maximum burden to the public based on the assumption that each individual participant would choose to participate the maximum 60 times. With adjustments made to time, response rate, and participation level, burden calculations have been updated. The burden is therefore no longer based on maximum participation of 60 times per individual participant, rather the average number of times individuals have chosen to participate thus far in data collection. The updated burden estimate is an annual burden of 3,249 hours. The annual burden cost associated with this ICR extension is zero other than the time spent participating.

FERC-546, Certificated Rate Filings: Gas Pipeline Rates

Key Information

Abstract

The following list outlines four circumstances under which the FERC-546 information collection requirements for certificated rates must be met: A company decides to: 1. Construct and operate a new jurisdictional pipeline; 2. Expand its certificated pipeline capacity by constructing a lateral pipeline, adding compression or providing storage at incremental or cost-based rates; 3. Build a new liquefied natural gas facility; or 4. Provide gas storage and negotiate market based rates. Under the circumstances 1-3, the company must file its FERC-546 cost data along with an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under the statutory requirements of NGA Section 7(c). For circumstance 4, the company must file its FERC-546 information with an application under NGA Section 4(f). The FERC-546 includes the following: • Supporting information for proposed initial rates (e.g. cost-based, market based, incremental rates); • Pro forma tariffs; • Motions to put proposed initial rates into effect subject to Commission findings on the related certificate; and • Unexecuted precedent agreements. Section 16 of the NGA grants the Commission administrative powers including the ability to define accounting, technical and trade terms, prescribe forms, statements, declarations or reports and to prescribe rules and regulations. Section 403 of the Department of Energy Organization Act authorizes the Commission to establish and review priorities for curtailments under the Natural Gas Act. The Commission reviews the FERC-546 materials in order to approve rates and tariff changes associated with an application for a certificate under NGA Section 7(c). Additionally, the Commission reviews FERC-546 materials in 4(f) storage applications to evaluate market power and decide whether to grant, deny, or condition market based rate authority for the applicant. The Commission also uses the FERC-546 information to monitor jurisdictional transportation, natural gas storage, and unbundled sales activities of interstate natural gas pipelines and Hinshaw pipelines. In addition to fulfilling the Commission’s obligations under the NGA, the FERC-546 enables the Commission to monitor activities, evaluate transactions, ensure competitiveness, and improved efficiency of the gas industry's operations. In summary, the Commission uses the FERC-546 information to: • Ensure adequate customer protections under section 4(f) of the NGA; • Review rate and tariff changes by natural gas companies for the transportation of natural gas and natural gas storage services; • Provide general industry oversight; and • Supplement documentation during its audits process. Failure to collect this information would prevent the Commission from being able to monitor and evaluate transactions and operations of interstate pipelines and perform its regulatory functions.

FERC-520, Application for Authority to Hold Interlocking Directorate Positions

Key Information

Abstract

Absent Commission authorization, section 305(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (with some exceptions) prohibits an officer or director of a public utility from holding the position of officer or director of more than one public utility, and prohibits an officer or director or a public utility from also holding the position of officer or director any one of the following entities: • Any bank, trust company, banking association, or firm that is authorized by law to underwrite or participate in the marketing of securities of a public utility; or • Any company supplying electrical equipment to such utility. In order to obtain Commission authorization to hold one or more of the prohibited positions, an applicant must provide information that enables the Commission to determine that neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected. FERC-520 consists of information collection activities that officers and directors of public utilities may use to seek authorization to hold interlocking positions. These activities take the form of a "full application," an "informational report," or a "notice of change."

Key Information

Abstract

This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR part 16 requirements: ● FAR 52.216-2, Economic Price Adjustment-Standard Supplies; FAR 52.216-3, Economic Price Adjustment-Semistandard Supplies; and FAR 52.216-4, Economic Price Adjustment-Labor and Material. These clauses require contractors on contracts that provide for economic price adjustments to promptly notify the contracting officer of any increases or decreases to established prices or labor rates (including fringe) because of certain contingencies, such as increases or decreases to established catalog or market prices or changes to cost indexes for labor or materials. ● FAR 52.216-5, Price Redetermination-Prospective. Paragraph (c) of this clause requires a contractor on a fixed-price contract with prospective price redetermination to submit to the Government (within an agreed upon timeframe) a statement of costs incurred for the most recent period of performance, the proposed prices for the upcoming contract period, and any supporting or relevant documentation. Per paragraph (h) of the clause, during periods where firm prices have not been established, the contractor must also submit quarterly statements that includes a breakdown of total contract prices, costs, and profit incurred and all invoices accepted for delivered items or services for which final prices have not been established. ● FAR 52.216-6, Price Redetermination-Retroactive. Paragraph (c) of this clause requires a contractor on a fixed-ceiling-price contract with retroactive price redetermination to submit to the Government (within an agreed upon timeframe after completion of the contract) the proposed prices, all costs incurred in performing the contract, and any supporting or relevant documentation. Per paragraph (g) of the clause, until final price redetermination has been completed, the contractor must also submit a quarterly statement that includes a breakdown of total contract prices, costs, and interim profit incurred and all invoices accepted for delivered items. ● FAR 52.216-16, Incentive Price Revision–Firm Target; and FAR 52.216-17, Incentive Price Revision–Successive Targets. These clauses require contractors on fixed price incentive (firm or successive target) contracts to submit to the Government on a quarterly basis a statement regarding total contract prices, costs, portions of interim profit, and amounts of invoices or vouchers for completed work that is cumulative from the beginning of the contract (see 52.216-16(g) and 52.216-17(i)). Upon final delivery of supplies or completion of services for covered line items, the contractor is required to submit a detailed statement of all costs incurred up to the end of that month in performing all work under the items; an estimate of costs of further performance, if any, that may be necessary to complete performance of all work under the items; a list of all residual inventory and an estimate of its value; and any other relevant data that the Contracting Officer may reasonably require (see 52.216-16(c) and 52.216-17(e)). Paragraph (c) of 52.216-17 also requires submission of data for establishing the firm fixed price or a final profit adjustment formula.

Key Information

Abstract

This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements: FAR 52.229-2, North Carolina State and Local Sales and Use Tax. This clause requires contractors for construction or vessel repair to be performed in North Carolina to provide certified statements of the cost of the property purchased from each vendor and the amount of sales or use taxes paid. The North Carolina Sales and Use Tax Act authorizes counties and incorporated cities and towns, to obtain each year from the Commissioner of Revenue of the State of North Carolina, a refund of sales and use taxes indirectly paid on building materials, supplies, fixtures, and equipment that become a part of or are annexed to any building or structure in North Carolina. However, to substantiate a refund claim for sales or use taxes paid on purchases of building materials, supplies, fixtures, or equipment by a contractor, the Government must secure from the contractor certified statements setting forth the cost of the property purchased from each vendor and the amount of sales or use taxes paid. Similar certified statements by subcontractors must be obtained by the general contractor and furnished to the Government.

2025 American Housing Survey (AHS)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request includes the data collection instruments associated with the administration of the 2025 American Housing Survey. Increasing field costs and declining response rates have led HUD, starting in 2015, to adopt a continuous data collection model as opposed to the periodic 5-month data collection every other year. HUD believes continuous data collection will be more effective, primarily because: 1) it eliminates the expensive, time-consuming Regional Office AHS ramp-up costs every two years, and 2) it puts in place a more experienced AHS workforce with a constant workload. An added benefit is that we will be able to increase the frequency of national and metro AHS estimates, allowing for more current estimates and better comparability to other data sources which collect annual data (surveys such as the American Community Survey and key estimates such as homeownership/vacancy rates). The survey will continue to be longitudinal, interviewing the same housing unit every two years. The sample will be divided into 12 cohorts where each cohort has a 2-month data collection period. The 2025 data collection procedures and questionnaire content are similar to the 2023 survey with the following exceptions: * New data will be collected in the 2025 AHS core questionnaire with proposed questions about income (including non-relative income, real estate transactions, taxes and fees, home improvement, and recent movers). * Removal of Six Supplemental Modules from the 2023 AHS: The AHS design includes the inclusion of rotating supplemental topical modules to meet HUD’s needs for new topical content without increasing respondent burden. This approach was recommended by the National Research Council’s 2008 report Rebuilding the Research Capacity at HUD. With this approach, topical modules from the previous year of the AHS are removed and replaced with new content. For this reason, the Power Outage, Heat Risk, Healthy Homes, Housing Insecurity, Urbanization, and First-Generation Owners supplemental modules will not be included in the 2025 survey. * Reinstatement of Home Accessibility and Arts and Culture Supplemental Modules: The Arts and Culture module, last fielded in 2015, will be administered to half of the sample. The Home Accessibility module, last fielded in 2019, will be administered to the full sample. * Introduction of Three New Supplemental Modules: To continue the strategy of supplemental modules to minimize respondent burden and satisfy widening needs for data content, three new supplemental modules have been added to the survey – Climate Risk and Insurance, Accessory Dwelling Units, and Housing Costs Roster. These modules collect data on the prevalence of climate risks, adaption to climate risks, and insurance, the prevalence of accessory dwelling units, and contributions of household members to rent/mortgage and utilities payments. Please refer to Section 2 (Needs and Uses) for more information on these modules and to the attached items booklet for the specific questions in these modules and the rest of the AHS questionnaire. * Demographic Questions on Sexual Orientation: Sexual Orientation (SO) Self-Report Questions will be asked of all adult respondents. Test of Proxy Questions on Sexual Orientation: The respondent will be asked Sexual Orientation (SO) Proxy Questions for all adult household members in 2023 AHS sample to test item nonresponse.

Core Principles and Other Requirements for Swap Execution Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) section 5h sets forth the requirements concerning the registration and operation of swap execution facilities (SEFs), which the Commission has implemented in part 37 of its regulations. The information collections under this Control Number are necessary for the Commission to evaluate whether SEFs, or entities applying to become SEFs, comply with the part 37 regulatory requirements. CFTC regulations require a Swap Execution Facilities (SEF) to provide each counterparty to a swap transaction, whether cleared or uncleared, that is entered into on or pursuant to the rules of the SEF, with a written “confirmation” that contains all of the terms of the transaction. 17 CFR 37.6(b). With respect to an uncleared swap transaction, a SEF may comply with the requirement to include in the confirmation all of the terms of the transaction, by incorporating by reference relevant terms set forth in underlying, previously-negotiated agreements between the counterparties, as long as the SEF has obtained these agreements prior to execution of the transaction. The information is used by the Commission to determine whether SEFs, and applicants seeking registration as a SEF with the Commission, are in compliance with applicable core principles and all other part 37 requirements. The information collection for swap confirmations under § 37.6(b) ensure legal certainty of transactions by requiring SEFs to provide each counterparty to a transaction that is executed on or pursuant to the rules of the SEF with a written record of all of the terms of the transaction which shall legally supersede any conflicting terms of a previous agreement and serve as a confirmation of the transaction.

Request for Waiver of Overpayment Recovery or Change in Repayment Rate

Key Information

Abstract

An overpayment occurs when we pay a beneficiary or recipient more benefits than they are due for a given period. When the individual receives the overpaid benefits, they are responsible for repaying the debt. The information collected on the SSA-632 BK is mandatory for SSA to determine if we can waive an overpayment that is $1,000 or more. To determine if an overpaid individual has the ability to repay the overpayment, respondents are required to provide authorization for SSA to obtain their financial account information. A legal guardian must sign the financial authorization for an adult who is legally incompetent or if the overpaid individual is a child. In addition, respondents must provide household expenses, the income for the entire household, and the assets for all dependent household members. The respondent may complete this form alone or with help. The information collected on the SSA-634 is mandatory for SSA to approve a negotiated monthly rate of withholding that would not permit recovery of the overpayment within 36 months. SSA employees will collect this information one-time. An overpaid individual completes and submits this form along with proofs of their income, assets, and expenses. The individual may complete this form alone or with help. SSA is removing the signature requirement, consistent with Executive Order 14058. Respondents are overpaid individuals who are requesting a waiver of recovery of an overpayment, or a lesser rate of withholding.
