Abstract

SSA uses the SSA-783 to collect information regarding a child's current sources of support when determining the child's entitlement to Social Security benefits. We request this information from adults acting on behalf of the child claimants who can provide SSA with any sources of support or substantial contributions for the child. These adults inform the claims representative as part of the initial benefits process. If the individual capable of providing the information does not accompany the child claimant, we mail the SSA-783 to the individual for completion, or if the person has access to a computer, we will refer them to SSA's website. The respondents are individuals providing information about a child's sources of support.

Abstract

On April 17, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) promulgated national minimum criteria for existing and new coal combustion residuals (CCR) landfills and CCR surface impoundments. Following promulgation of this final rule, stakeholders have raised issues related to specific requirements of the final rule. On March 15, 2018, EPA proposed several changes to the 2015 CCR rule and on July 30, 2018, EPA finalized certain specific changes. In this action, EPA is proposing additional targeted changes to the 2015 CCR rule and is soliciting comment on other issues. The Agency is also proposing a rule that addresses two provisions of the final rule that were remanded back to EPA on August 21, 2018 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Abstract

Public Law 110-229 provides for certain aliens to be exempt from the nonimmigrant visa requirement if seeking entry into Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) as a visitor for a maximum stay of 45 days, provided that no potential threat exists to the welfare, safety, or security of the United States, or its territories, and other criteria are met. Upon arrival at the Guam or CNMI Ports-of-Entry, each applicant for admission presents a completed paper Form I-736 to CBP, which collects information about the applicant’s identity and travel documents. Several elements will be added to the Form I-736: the foreign passport type, social media identifier, valid email address, and social media provider/platform. Adding these data elements will enhance the existing vetting process and provide CBP additional information to determine travelers’ admissibility to enter Guam or the CNMI under the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program. CBP intends to migrate from the paper Form I-736 process to a mandatory automated process via rulemaking.

Abstract

EPA established NESHAP for seven area source categories. The requirements for two area source categories (Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production and Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication) are combined in one Subpart. These standards include emissions limitations and work practice requirements for new and existing plants based on the generally-available control technology or management practices (GACT) for each area source category. Potential respondents include two existing acrylic and modacrylic production facility, one existing carbon black production plant, two existing chromium product manufacturing facilities, 500 existing flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication facilities, 41 existing lead acid battery manufacturing facilities, and 393 existing wood preserving facilities. The total annual responses attributable to this ICR for existing sources are two one-time notifications; some existing facilities may be required to prepare a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, perform additional monitoring and recordkeeping, and/or conduct an initial performance test. The owner or operator of a new area source would be required to comply with all requirements of the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A).

Abstract

This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast, 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC, referred to in this document as the Nutritional Yeast NESHAP. In 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for new and existing nutritional yeast production facilities under 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC (66 FR 27876, May 21, 2001). Amendments to the NESHAP and a Risk and Technology Review were proposed on December 28, 2016 and promulgated on October 16, 2017. This rule applies to facilities where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any single HAP, or where the total HAP emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP. The Nutritional Yeast NESHAP sets emission limits for fermenter operations at nutritional yeast manufacturing facilities. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC. This ICR renewal reflects changes in burden following implementation of the 2017 final rule amendments, as the standard has been in effect for more than three years.

Abstract

FAA Form 8070-1, Service Difficulty Report (SDR), may be used by the air carrier industry and repair stations to submit mandated reporting of occurrences or detection of failures, malfunctions, or defects. As described in 14 CFR 121.703(e), these submitters may use another method that is suitable to their management system, provided that system is acceptable to the Administrator and contains mandated information. Service difficulty information may also be submitted in an electronic format. Repair stations certificated under Part 145 and Air taxi operators certificated under Part 135 are required to submit Malfunction or Defect Reports, or Service Difficulty Reports. FAA Form 8010-4, Malfunction and Defect Report may be used by the general aviation public to submit voluntary reporting of occurrences or detection of failure, malfunctions, or defects. General Aviation is the largest user of the Form 8010-4. Report information is collected, collated by the FAA, and used to determine service performance of aeronautical products. When defects are reported which are likely to exist on other products of the same or similar design, the FAA may disseminate safety information to a particular section of the aviation community. The FAA also may adopt new regulations or issue Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) to address a specific problem. AD’s are mandatory repair or modifications essential for the prevention of accidents The regulations enhance air carrier safety by collecting additional and timelier data pertinent to critical aircraft components. This data identifies mechanical failures, malfunctions, and defects that may be a hazard to the operation of an aircraft. The FAA uses this data to identify trends that may facilitate the early detection of airworthiness problems. Reports are submitted on occasion.
