Abstract

The Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Mercury (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart E) apply to existing facilities and new facilities which process mercury ore to recover mercury, use mercury chlor-alkali cells to produce chlorine gas and alkali metal hydroxide, and incinerate or dry wastewater treatment plant sludge. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart E. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Abstract

Sections 221(i), 1614(a)(3)(H)(ii)(I) and 1633(c)(1) of the Social Security Act (Act) require SSA to periodically review the cases of individuals who receive benefits under Title II or Title XVI based on disability to determine if their disability continues. SSA considers adults eligible for disability payments if they continue to be unable to do substantial gainful activity because of their impairments, and we consider Title XVI children eligible for disability payment if they have marked and severe functional limitations because of their impairments. To assess claimants’ ongoing disability payment eligibility, SSA uses the information gathered through the Continuing Disability Review Report to complete a mandatory review for the continue disability review (CDR). SSA also uses the Continuing Disability Review Report to obtain information on sources of medical treatment; participation in vocational rehabilitation programs (if any); attempts to work (if any); and recipients’ assessments when they believe their conditions improved. Title II or Title XVI disability recipients can complete the Continuing Disability Review Report using one of three modalities: (1) a paper application or fillable PDF (using Form SSA 454 BK); (2) a field office interview, during which SSA employees enter claimant’s data directly into the Electronic Disability Collection System (EDCS); or (3) using an online system (i454). This new web-based modality will provide recipients a new platform for submitting information to increase accessibility and enhance automation. When SSA initiates a medical CDR, we send a mailed notice to the individual with a disability informing that individual that SSA requires a CDR. The mailed notice provides instructions to the recipient on how to assist the agency with initiating the CDR and gives the individual the option to complete a paper SSA-454 or an i454 for adult only disabled individuals. When an individual requires a CDR, a claims specialist (CS) mails the paper Form SSA-454-BK, and the respondent completes the form, and sends or brings it back to SSA; or the CS interviews the respondent and enters the information into the appropriate EDCS screens; or adult disabled individuals complete the SSA 454 BK electronically using the i454 Internet application. Regardless of the modality the respondent uses to complete the information (paper, EDCS, or Internet versions), SSA electronically stores the information provided in EDCS. The respondents complete the SSA-454-BK by themselves with self-help information available, or a representative may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents are Title II or Title XVI disability recipients or their representatives.

Abstract

In addition to the emergency clearance that was approved by OMB on September 26, 2025, for the “Non-Domiciled Commercial Driver’s License Records” ICR, OMB Control No. 2126-0087, FMCSA is completing the normal OMB review process by including the 60-Day Federal Register Notice in the relevant interim final rule titled, “Restoring Integrity to the Issuance of Non-Domiciled Commercial Drivers Licenses” (90 FR 46509), issued on September 29, 2025, followed by publication of a 30-Day Federal Register Notice. FMCSA’s primary mission is to ensure the safety of the Nation’s roadways. Having recently become aware of the confusion in some States about the standards for issuing non-domiciled CDLs, as well as the recent incidences of crashes involving non-domiciled drivers, FMCSA must act expeditiously to ensure that States do not continue to license such drivers and begin taking steps to properly vet the existing holders of non-domiciled CDLs. These actions are expected to significantly improve the safety of commercial drivers in the United States. This collection is intended to ensure that States retain all documents involved in the licensing process for non-domiciled CLP and CDL holders for a period of no less than 2 years from the date of issuance (which includes amending, correcting, reprinting, or otherwise duplicating a previously issued CLP or CDL), transferring, renewing, or upgrading a non-domiciled CLP or CDL. If States do not retain this documentation, FMCSA is severely hindered in its efforts to ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements because States are unable to accurately determine the number of non-domiciled CLPs and CDLs they have issued, or to prove to FMCSA auditors that such CLPs and CDLs were properly issued. The IFR requires State Driver’s Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) to retain copies of passports and Form I-94/94As provided during application for a non-domiciled CLP or CDL, as well as copies of required SAVE queries, and provide those records to FMCSA on request. The records will be used to determine if non-domiciled CLPs and CDLs were properly issued by a State. It is imperative that FMCSA begin collecting this information as soon as the “Restoring Integrity to the Issuance of Non-Domiciled Commercial Drivers Licenses” interim final rule is effective.

This information collection helps support implementation of Sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), which governs pharmacy compounding and outsourcing facilities. References to statutory reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosures are discussed in specific FDA guidance documents, however we intend the ICR to account for burden that may be attributable to recommended tasks not accounted for elsewhere in our active collection invetory .Emergency Justfication:Unanticipated staffing adjustments have significantly impacted the timeliness with which FDA is able to publish its requisite documents in the Federal Register. As a result, we are unable to publish our 30-day notice prior to the expiration date of this information collection. We are therefore submitting this ICR in accordance with our understanding of requirements in 5 CFR 1320.13, noting that we believe the collection of information Is needed prior to the expiration of established time periods under the PRA and is essential to the mission of the agency. While an unanticipated event has recently occurred that has disrupted processing of the collection of information, we expect to meet applicable deadlines within a 30-day period. We are therefore requesting an approval date of March 1, 2026, by which time we expect our 30-day notice (attached for OMB reference) will have published and at which time we will subsequently submit an ICR in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10, as we believe applicable to this ICR.

Abstract

Section 8521(a) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) provides that a local educational agency (LEA) may receive funds under Title I, Part A and other ESEA “covered programs” for any fiscal year only if the State educational agency (SEA) finds that either the combined fiscal effort per student or the aggregate expenditures of the LEA and the State with respect to the provision of free public education by the LEA for the preceding fiscal year was not less than 90 percent of the combined fiscal effort or aggregate expenditures for the second preceding fiscal year. This provision is the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirements for LEAs under the ESEA. If an LEA fails to meet the MOE requirement, under section 8521(b) of the ESEA, the SEA must reduce the amount of funds allocated under the programs covered by the MOE requirement in any fiscal year in the exact proportion by which the LEA fails to maintain effort by falling below 90 percent of either the combined fiscal effort per student or aggregate expenditures, if the LEA has also failed to maintain effort for 1 or more of the 5 immediately preceding fiscal years. In reducing an LEA’s allocation because it failed to meet the MOE requirement, the SEA uses the measure most favorable to the LEA. Section 8521(c) gives the U.S. Department of Education (ED) the authority to waive the ESEA's MOE requirement for an LEA if it would be equitable to grant the waiver due to an exceptional or uncontrollable circumstance such as a natural disaster or a change in the organizational structure of the LEA or a precipitous decline in the LEA's financial resources. If an MOE waiver is granted, the reduction required by section 8521(b) does not occur for that year. A request for a waiver of the MOE requirement is discretionary. Only an LEA that has failed to maintain effort and that believes its failure justifies a waiver would request one. To review an MOE waiver request, ED relies primarily on expenditure, revenue, and other data relevant to an LEA’s request provided by the SEA. To assist an SEA with submitting this information, ED developed an MOE waiver form as part of the 2009 Title I, Part A Waiver Guidance, which covered a range of waivers that ED invited at that time. The purpose of this request is to renew approval for the MOE waiver form. This collection includes burden at the SEA level.

This is a request to restore 1845-0021: William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (DL) Regulations to allow ED to properly propose revisions to the collection resulting from the current RISE NPRM. There are no changes being requested to this previously approved information collection within this reinstatement request.   OMB approval for this collection expired at the end of 2025 while ED and OMB were actively discussing both collections with renewal timelines impacted by the October 2025 lapse in appropriations and the collections within FSA that are impacted by RISE and other rulemaking resulting from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA).Emergency Justfication:The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) made statutory changes affecting regulations that fall under this collection, 1845-0021 William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (DL) Regulations. As a result, the Department must amend 34 CFR 685.205 to conform with the new requirements by going through the rulemaking process, including going through a negotiated rulemaking, proposed and final rulemaking process. Due to the statutory deadlines associated with OBBBA, and the government shutdown, ED was not able to pursue the standard PRA renewal process for this collection. The expiration of this collection will create both confusion and potential harm to loan borrowers and loan servicers if the collection expires. The Department requests an emergency reinstatement for six months to keep this collection current, until the RISE rule is finalized, and the collection is revised accordingly.

Abstract

International child support cases are those where the parents and/or child live in different countries, a support order was issued internationally, or assets are sought in countries other than the country enforcing the support order, among other scenarios. Because laws and procedures vary widely among international jurisdictions, international cases can be complex and difficult to process, resulting in less child support reaching the families who need it. In the U.S., we estimate that about half of one percent of the total child support caseload has an international component. On January 1, 2017, the multilateral 2007 Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance (the Hague Child Support Convention) came into force for the U.S. The U.S. now has reciprocal relationships with 41 foreign countries under the Hague Convention, and that number is growing. Countries that are party to the Hague Child Support Convention use 16 standardized Convention case processing forms, which were designed to greatly reduce the complexity of case processing in the international context. The forms were developed by a special working group, in which the U.S. played a leadership role. Section 311(b) of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 2008, which has been enacted by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, requires states to use forms mandated by federal law. (UIFSA enactment was required by Public Law (P.L.) 113-183.) Regulations under 45 CFR 303.7 also require child support programs to use federally approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D cases unless a country has provided alternative forms as a part of its chapter in a Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Foreign Reciprocating Countries.
