Abstract

Section 709(c) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) requires employers to make and keep records relevant to the determination of whether unlawful employment practices have been or are being committed, to preserve such records, and to produce reports as the Commission prescribes by regulation or order. Pursuant to this statutory authority, the EEOC in 1966 issued a regulation requiring certain employers to file executed copies of the EEO–1 in conformity with the directions and instructions on the form, which called for reporting employee data by job category and by sex and race or ethnicity. Pursuant to Executive Order 11246, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, in 1978 issued its regulation describing the EEO–1 as a report ‘‘promulgated jointly with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’’ and requiring certain contractors to submit ‘‘complete and accurate reports’’ annually. Under these authorities, private employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors that have 50 or more employees and meet certain criteria are required to report annually the number of individuals they employ by job category and by sex and race or ethnicity.

Abstract

The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a continuous, multipurpose survey of a nationally representative sample of aged, disabled, and institutionalized Medicare beneficiaries. MCBS, which is sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is the only comprehensive source of information on the health status, health care use and expenditures, health insurance coverage, and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the entire spectrum of Medicare beneficiaries.

Abstract

The 2014 Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) required the Office of Job Corps to collect and report specific post enrollment outcomes for eligible Job Corps participants beginning in Program Year (PY) 2016. The WIOA performance reporting requirements, which replaced those of the 1998 Workforce Investment Act (WIA), are designed to provide a common set of metrics to be reported by similar programs. WIOA substantially changed many outcome metrics for Job Corps compared to those required under WIA and provided new guidance on the definition of high performing and low performing centers. In order to collect the necessary information to meet the new WIOA reporting requirements, the Office of Job Corps revised its post enrollment data collection system (PEDC) in 2019, which primarily collects data through survey instruments.

In addition, the authority for requiring this data collection for PDP enrollment is section 1860D-1 of the Act, and implementing regulations at §§ 423.30 and 423.32, a Part D-eligible individual who wishes to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) may enroll during the enrollment periods specified in §423.38, by completing an enrollment form with the PDP, or enrolling through other mechanisms CMS determines are appropriate. We are proposing changes to the current, standard (“long”) model enrollment form which will yield a beneficiary-focused model form to simplify the enrollment process.

Abstract

As part of the DoD-wide effort to promote resource utilization for those who experienced Unwanted Sexual Contact (USC; i.e., sexual assault and sexual harassment), the Department of Navy (DoN) Office of Force Resiliency (OFR) developed and recently updated the Prevention Plan of Action (aka Prevention Plan of Action 2.0, 2022-2024; PPoA 2.0). The PPoA 2.0 is a strategy framework leveraging public health science in military environments to prevent sexual assault in the military and improve response efforts. As part of this initiative, OFR commissioned this study (Agreement #NMR-24-11717) to investigate the factors influencing reporting and resource utilization among men who experienced USC during military service. This DoN OFR-commissioned investigation involves three study phases, and findings from each phase will be pieced together to provide a comprehensive understanding of resource utilization decision-making processes among men affected by USC and will inform the development of programmatic recommendations to improve resource utilization. Phase 1) A systematic literature review (no human subjects involvement), Phase 2) An archival data analysis of deidentified data with no human subjects involvement, and Phase 3) A narrative/semi-structured interview study of male Sailors who report experiencing USC and/or sexual harassment during military service to build upon limited research among men. Finally, findings will be used to develop recommendations to modify extant policy and practices around sexual assault reporting and service utilization by male Sailors (no human subjects involvement). This information collection request describes our data collection efforts for Phase 3, a primary interview data collection with men who have experienced USC and/or sexual harassment during military service.

NRC Form 781, “SBCR Compliance Review” is a required form that should be submitted by the recipient upon initiation or modification of a program, during the pre-award and post-award stage, periodic monitoring, and, if a complaint is being processed during the pre-award application phase and upon request from an authorized NRC official during the post-award review phase. This information is necessary for determining whether any persons are or will be denied such services provided by the primary funding recipient on the basis of prohibited discrimination. In the event that discrimination is alleged in NRC- conducted and Federal financially assisted programs and activities, it may be reported using NRC Form 782.

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval from OMB of this information collection request (ICR) for an extension with modification of its currently approved information collection for the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) information collection and related special studies. NHTSA is seeking approval to modify the collection to include the collection of the portion of NHTSA’s Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) data that is submitted through the CRSS data collection effort and add two special studies. NHTSA is authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 403 to collect data on motor vehicle traffic crashes to aid in the identification of issues and the development, implementation, and evaluation of motor vehicle and highway safety countermeasures to support efforts to reduce injuries and fatalities caused by motor vehicle crashes. CRSS is a voluntary collection of data from police-reported crashes involving all types of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists; this includes property damage only crashes as well as those resulting in injuries and fatalities. The Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) is a virtual data collection effort for collecting information about non-traffic crashes and non-crash incidents. The NTS data provide counts and details regarding fatalities and injuries that occur in non-traffic crashes and in non-crash incidents. Additionally, two special studies are included: the non-Sample count study and the PJ frame evaluation which will assess the quality of the CRSS sampling frame and assist with determining the weights and measure of size for the CRSS Police Jurisdictions (PJs). This is a modification to the previously approved as OMB Control No. 2127-0714 (current expiration Date: 12/31/2022). This ICR increases burden by 7,000 hours (from 35,680 hours to 42,680 hours). The cost burden remains the same at $0.
