Grantee Reporting Requirements for Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC)

Key Information

Abstract

The Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) Program was initiated in 1973 to develop long-term partnerships among industry, academe and government. The National Science Foundation invests in these partnerships to promote research programs of mutual interest, contribute to the Nation's research infrastructure base and enhance the intellectual capacity of the engineering or science workforce through the integration of research and education. As appropriate, NSF encourages international collaborations that advance these goals within the global context. This request for reinstatement stems from the following: desire to obtain the best data available from the centers, increased transparency and accountability of the program, and changes in personnel in the program. The program's reporting requirements are outlined to prospective awardees in the solicitation. The extent and complexity of the questions go beyond the standard request for reporting, and a separate clearance would allow flexibility within the program to consider changes as needed.

Qualification Information for Candidates to Advisory Committees and Subcommittees

Key Information

Abstract

The collection of information is necessary to support the CFTC Advisory Committee Program which includes committees, most of which are governed by the FACA, and subcommittees that report directly to the CFTC FACA committees. Pursuant to the FACA, an agency must ensure that a committee is balanced with respect to the viewpoints represented and the functions to be performed by that committee. Consistent with this, in order to select individuals for potential membership on an advisory committee, the CFTC must determine that potential members are qualified to serve on an advisory committee and that the viewpoints are properly balanced on the committee. The CFTC is also required to ensure that committee members are properly designated as special government employees or representatives. While CFTC subcommittees are not subject to the FACA, the selection process for subcommittee members who are not already serving on the parent committee is similar to that of new committee members. Additionally, the agency follows similar member selection procedures for the agency’s non-FACA committee. CFTC staff would use the information collected to determine the experience and expertise of potential advisory committee and subcommittee members, ensure that the membership on a committee or subcommittee is balanced, and ensure that committee and subcommittee members are properly designated as representatives or special government employees. Respondents would consist of current and potential advisory committee and subcommittee members.

Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP): Manufacturing, Processing, Packing, and Holding of Drugs; GMP for Finished Pharmaceuticals (Including API), and AMT Designation

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection supports statutory and regulatory requirements that govern the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding of finished pharmaceuticals, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Under section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C 351(a)(2)(B)), a drug is adulterated if the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for its manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to or are not operated or administered in conformity with CGMP regulations. FDA is responsible for enforcing the FD&C Act as well as related statutes, including the Public Health Service Act. Congress enacted these laws to ensure that covered products meet applicable requirements regarding the safety, identity and strength, and the quality and purity characteristics they purport or are represented to possess and are labeled with adequate warnings and instructions for use.

National Scenic Byway Program (NSBP)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request would require State Departments of Transportation and Federally Recognized Indian Tribe(s) on an annual basis to develop applications in order to apply for funding under the National Scenic Byway Program (NSBP) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) re-published on grants.gov. This grant opportunity will result in the distribution of up to $26.956 million of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 and 2024 funding for the NSBP competitive grants. FHWA will be publishing an Amendment No. 1 to this NOFO. Applicants that fulfilled the requirements of submitting an application prior to December 16, 2024 NOFO closing date, will be notified of this Amendment No. 1 and will be provided 21 calendar days, from the date of Amendment No. 1 to indicate they are retaining their existing application, submit an amended application, or request withdrawal of their application from consideration for NSBP grant funding. As they were required of applicants in their original application submittal, the information collection still requires the applicants include the mandatory standard forms (SF) 424 (Application for Federal Assistance), SF 424C (Budget Information for Construction), or SF 424A (Budget Information for Non-Construction Programs), SF-424D (Assurances for Construction Programs), or SF424B (Assurances for Non-Construction Programs), SF-LLL (Disclosure of Lobbying Activities), and Grants.gov Lobbying Form. For the response to Amendment No. 1, FHWA is requiring compliant applicants to email an amended project narrative to FHWA. If the amended application also changes content within a standard form, they are also required to attach the amended standard form to the email. If nothing changed within the standard form or another document, there is no need to resubmit that material. If submitting an amended application, the applicant should highlight changes from the original application to assist reviewers. Note: Tribal applicants are not required to submit a Standard Form LLL. The NOFO provides additional details on the information being collected. The purpose of the collection is to determine if the applicants’ eligibility requirements have been met to further evaluate the application for award. Per 23 U.S.C. 162, funds made available for the NSBP grant program are to be awarded on a competitive basis to implement eligible projects on highways designated as National Scenic Byways or All-American Roads (collectively America's Byways®), State scenic byways, or Indian Tribe scenic byways; and plan, design, and develop a State or Indian Tribe scenic byway program per Title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 162(b). The NOFO describes the application requirements, selection and evaluation criteria, applicable program and Federal requirements, and available technical assistance during the grant solicitation period.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.

Information collections contained in Reforming and Modernizing the NRC’s Radiation Protection Framework proposed rule, 10 CFR Parts 20, 34, 35, 50, 53, and 72

Key Information

Abstract

The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations that govern its standards for protection against radiation. The revisions reflect the agency’s reconsideration of its use of the LNT model for assessing health effects from radiation exposure and its application of the ALARA principle that is predicated on the LNT model. The proposed rule would reflect the NRC’s experience and other developments in the field of radiation protection since the NRC’s last major revisions to these standards in 1991. The proposed rule covers diverse topics, which result in recordkeeping and reporting requirements related to instruction to workers, radiation protection requirements, industrial radiography, medical use of byproduct material, source material licensing, and storage and transportation of radioactive material. In addition to the new information collections in the proposed regulations, this proposed rule would result in amended requirements for NRC Forms 540/540A, 541/541A, and 542/542A. These forms are used on a nationwide basis to reflect the minimum safety-related information for a low-level radioactive waste shipment as required by Federal and State reporting requirements for the safe transportation and disposal of low-level radioactive waste. The rulemaking would not make any changes to the forms themselves. The rulemaking would make the use of the forms optional as long as respondents provide the same information as required in the forms using a different format.

Update the National Review of Quick Clearance Laws

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is for states to voluntarily provide any move over/quick clearance laws update. The eligible respondents to this voluntary survey include 50 State DOTs, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, United States. The collection is via email survey, with data collected as needed. Prior information collection was via a website literature review that resulted in the 2008 Traffic Incident Management Quick Clearance Laws publication. The objective of this outreach effort is to develop a Quick Clearance Laws State of the Practice Report. The intent is to provide awareness and knowledge of current State Quick Clearance Laws through outreach and encourage states to establish them. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Incident Management (TIM) programs aim to reduce the duration and impact of incidents on congestion and improve safety for motorists, crash victims, and incident responders through safe quick clearance practices. Additionally, TIM prioritizes effective mitigation practices to return roadways back to normal flow of traffic. Once published the information would be available to the state DOTs, public and other interested parties via the FHWA website.

FERC-725X, (RD25-10) Mandatory Reliability Standards: Voltage and Reactive (VAR) Standards

Key Information

Abstract

NERC established the Voltage and Reactive (“VAR”) group of Reliability Standards, which consists of two continent-wide Reliability Standards, VAR-001-5 and VAR-002-4.1. These two standards were designed to maintain voltage stability on the Bulk-Power System, protect transmission, generation, distribution, and customer equipment, and support the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System. Voltage stability is the ability of a power system to maintain acceptable voltage levels throughout the system under normal operating conditions and following a disturbance. Failure to maintain acceptable voltage levels (i.e., voltage levels become too high or too low) may cause violations of System Operating Limits (“SOLs”) and Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits (“IROLs”), resulting in damage to Bulk-Power System equipment, and thereby threaten the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System.

Reporting of Violations of the Export Administration Regulations

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is needed to detect violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and determine if an investigation or prosecution is necessary and to reach a settlement with violators. Reporting violations or imminent violations, whether through voluntary self-disclosures or based on information provided by those who have direct knowledge of possible violations of the EAR, strengthens BIS’s enforcement efforts. The disclosure activities and burden associated with this collection allows BIS to begin and conduct investigations faster and with more accurate information than would be the case if BIS had to detect the violations without such information or disclosures. BIS is revising the title of this collection of information to better reflect enforcement and protective measures associated with the full scope of disclosures that are covered in Part 764 of the EAR.
