Abstract

FMCSA is seeking approval of revision of the ICR. This ICR has two collection periods. The first period covers the six months prior to the implementation of the Broker and Freight Forward Financial Responsibility Final Rule. There are no changes to the respondents, responses, burden hours or annual burden costs for this period. The second collection period covers the 2.5 years following the implementation of the Broker and Freight Forward Financial Responsibility Final Rule. This collection period has 200,147 respondents, 290,345 responses, 49,722 annual burden hours and a total annual burden cost of $1,725,372. This program change increase, to the existing ICR of 283 hours is due to updates made to three forms, BMC-36, BMC-84, and BMC-85 due to the implementation of the Broker and Freight Forwarder Financial Responsibility Final Rule. This ICR consists of 11 forms/ICs: IC-1, form BMC-91, IC-2: BMC-91X, IC-3: BMC-34, IC-4: BMC-82, IC-5: BMC-83, IC-6: BMC-84, IC-7: BMC-85, IC-8: BMC-35, IC-9: BMC-36, IC-10: BMC-IC-11: BMC-32. These mandatory forms are used annually for reporting purposes, by for-hire motor carriers, freight forwarders and brokers to meet the statutory requirement to submit evidence of financial responsibility prior to their registration by the FMCSA as condition for continuation of their registration. The ICR allows the FMCSA to ensure the public is protected and will be compensated for claims involving bodily injury and property damage, or loss or damage to household goods, respectively, within the limits prescribed by FMCSA. The ICR enforces the filing of surety bonds or trust fund agreements to help ensure that motor carriers and shippers are protected against non-performance of the broker’s or freight forwarder’s legal obligations. Insurance companies can be held liable for any damages that may occur to the public (up to the limits of the policy), and to supersede any exclusions or limitations which may be contained in the insured motor carrier’s or freight forwarder’s policy. Additionally, FMCSA can make a determination regarding whether an entity qualifies for the grant of self-insurance authority.

Abstract

In an effort to understand the limousine market and the characteristics of limousine vehicles with respect to crashworthiness and occupant safety, and to comply with a Congressional mandate, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for a new information collection request (ICR). Many federal safety regulations (e.g., FMVSS No. 208, 209, 210 pertaining to overall occupant protection and seat belts) do not currently apply to limousines and, as a result, the extent of limousine crash safety features and performance is not well known. Furthermore, limousine manufacturers fall into one of three categories (Vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), OEM program participant, OEM program nonparticipants) and the respective differences of these manufacturer’s approach to fabrication and vehicle safety requires targeted research. The proposed NHTSA research will consist of a one-time voluntary interview to manufacturers that fall into one of the three groups related to the limousine market: a) Vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), b) OEM program participant, and c) OEM program nonparticipants. The research will involve a maximum of 160 contacts for a request for an interview with a goal of 41 total completed responses. Recruitment will end when the 41 respondents with completed interviews are attained. Each interview will include approximately 10 – 15 open-ended questions about limousine fabrication intended for reporting on safety characteristics related to evacuation, crashworthiness, occupant seating, and restraints. Three versions of an interview guide will be used, one for each category of manufacturer, and the guides are intended as a framework for discussion rather than a strict script. It is possible that the respondents will not need to be asked each question separately if information is provided through responses to previous questions. The interviewers will not ask questions that are not presented on the interview guide. This information collection serves as a reporting collection. Interview results will be collected and summarized in a final report, which will include an executive summary, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusions of important market findings relating to the relevant crashworthiness safety topics. The report data will help provide NHTSA with information necessary for cost-benefit analyses and will be made available to the public. This is a new information collection and is not required to go through an Institutional Review Board. This new ICR is a one-time collection that is anticipated to be completed within three years. The Annualized Burden Hours is estimated to be 53 hours and annual labor costs are estimated to be $6,137. There are no additional costs beyond the cost of any hour burden (labor costs).

Abstract

This project will be utilized to gain knowledge about the expression of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from childhood through early adulthood that can inform efforts to improve the health and functioning of individuals with ASD as they mature. The SEED Follow-up Study will collect information from families through surveys on the health and functioning of individuals during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, and in-person assessments of cognitive abilities. Data obtained through this information collection may improve our understanding of which co-occurring conditions are most prevalent; increase our understanding of the needs of individuals with ASD; how the needs change with age and can be best met at different points in development; and inform research and public health policies on eligibility for services and public health outreach efforts, that could provide opportunities for education, employment, and social connection to improve the health, functioning, and quality of life among persons with ASD and their families. This CR adds Spanish versions for several of the instruments.

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to seek approval for a one-time, voluntary, and anonymous survey of motorcycle riders to obtain consumer-reported feedback and perspectives on the use and availability of advanced crash avoidance motorcycle technologies. At this time, there is no information regarding consumer use and understanding of current advanced safety technology on motorcycles. To gain perspective on U.S. motorcyclist consumers, NHTSA will survey a convenience sample of individuals who live in the U.S., are licensed to operate a motorcycle, own at least one motorcycle, and ride it at least six times a year. Beyond these eligibility requirements, respondents will not be limited by age, geographic location, income, sex, etc. We will ask survey respondents about themselves (e.g., characteristics, riding behavior), knowledge about current and proposed motorcycle technologies, as well as their willingness to use these technologies. This information collection request is for three is reporting collections: (1) an eligibility questionnaire; (2) an informed consent form; and (3) the survey questionnaire. Results from the anonymous questionnaire will be compiled into descriptive statistical summaries (numeric data) and thematic codes and narratives (text-based data from open-ended questions) and incorporated into a report will be published and available to the general public via the National Transportation Library. The results of the information collection will help NHTSA better understand consumer-based barriers and facilitators to advanced motorcycle crash avoidance technology deployment. By understanding these barriers and facilitators, NHTSA can better develop related policy and consumer education materials to improve safety through the increased uptake and safe use of advanced technologies for motorcycles. The data collection requires IRB approval and has received it.

Abstract

On November 21, 2024, the Commission adopted the Second Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration (Second Report and Order), FCC 24-121, which allows FM and low power FM (LPFM) broadcasters to use FM booster stations to originate program content, for up to three minutes of each hour. This option allows FM and LPFM broadcasters to air programming on booster stations different from their primary station to better meet the needs and interests of local listeners. FM boosters are low power, secondary stations that operate in the FM broadcast band. They must be licensed to the same broadcaster and on the same frequency as the primary station, and rebroadcast that primary station’s signal within its protected contour. Until this proceeding, FM boosters were traditionally used only as a means to enhance weak signals of a primary FM station and could not originate programming. With advances in technology it is now possible for FM broadcasters to customize the content delivered to different parts of their service areas by using boosters to air programming different from their primary FM station. Since the April 2024 adoption of the First Report and Order in this proceeding, the Commission has allowed the use of program originating FM boosters on a temporary, experimental basis. The Second Report and Order now establishes specific processing, licensing, and service rules and permanently authorizes broadcasters to originate programming on FM boosters without the need for an experimental authorization.

Abstract

On February 10, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10895 “Adjusting Imports of Aluminum into the United States”, and Proclamation 10896 “Adjusting Imports of Steel into the United States” which imposed a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on imports of aluminum and steel articles and certain derivative steel and aluminum articles, respectively. These Inclusions Proclamations terminated the aluminum and steel exclusions process as authorized in the clause 3 of Proclamation 9705, clause 1 of Proclamation 9777, and clause 2 of Proclamation 9980, as well as a number of country exemptions and alternative arrangements to the steel and aluminum duties implemented in subsequent Presidential Proclamations. The Inclusions Proclamations also required the Secretary of Commerce (the Secretary) to establish within 90 days a process for including additional derivative aluminum and steel articles within the scope of the ad valorem duties proclaimed in Exclusion Proclamations, Presidential Proclamation 9704, Proclamation 9705, Proclamation 9980, clause 4 of the Proclamation 10896, and clause 5 of Proclamation 10895, respectively. Presidential Proclamations 10895 and 10896 set several requirements for the Department of Commerce to include certain derivative articles of steel and aluminum under the Section 232 Steel and Aluminum Duties established by the Exclusions Proclamations. It authorizes the Secretary to include additional derivative steel or aluminum articles within the scope of the tariffs unilaterally, or at the request of a producer of steel or aluminum articles or derivative articles within the United States, or an industry association representing one or more such producers. Applications for the inclusion of derivative articles must establish that imports of a derivative article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security of the United States or otherwise undermine the objectives set forth in the 2018 Section 232 investigations or any Proclamations issued pursuant thereto. The Inclusions Proclamations direct that the Secretary of Commerce shall issue a determination on any such request within 60 days of its receipt by the Department.

Abstract

On October 20, 1994, the Improving America's Schools Act, Public Law 103-382(The Act), became law. The Act added a provision to the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). Section 427 of GEPA requires an applicant for assistance under Department programs to develop and describe in the grant application the steps it proposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and equitable participation in, its proposed project for students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries. Applicants have responded to the GEPA 427 requirements for approximately the last 27 years, and the current form expires in June 2023. In response to the Agency's Equity Plan resulting from the President's Executive Order 13985, we now propose to update that form by expanding the number of questions from one to four. These four questions are intended to help applicants for Department grant funds to be more intentional and specific as to identifying barriers to equitable access and how they will address those barriers consistent with the requirements of section 427 of GEPA. As with the existing form, applicants retain the flexibility to determine and define for themselves the barriers to “equitable access” and “equitable participation” based on the design of their proposed grant projects and the participants and community the project proposes to serve.
