Abstract

This information collection covers the collection of applicant data from municipality and community-owned utilities that are interested in applying to receive funds from the “Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program.” Solicitation for grants under the Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program is voluntary. No eligible entity is required to apply. To be eligible, however, municipality and community-owned utilities must meet all the requirements set forth in the law. Therefore, DOT must collect certain information from applicants to determine eligibility and evaluate applications. DOT must also verify the accuracy of grant requests from approved applicants, in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other laws and regulations governing Federal financial assistance programs, including (but not limited to) the Anti Deficiency Act, the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019, and 2 CFR part 200, among others. This information collection also covers the collection of data from grant recipients. PHMSA expects to receive approximately 100 applications from potential grantees. PHMSA estimates that it will take the 100 applicants approximately 65 hours to compile and submit the forms required to complete the application process for an annual burden of 6,500 hours. PHMSA estimates that 100 grant recipients will spend 5 hours, annually, submitting post-award reports for an annual burden of 500 hours. Therefore, PHMSA estimates that there will be a total of 200 responses (100 applicants + 100 grant recipients) for an aggregate total annual burden for the information collection of 7,000 hours (6,500 hours for applications + 500 hours for post-award reports).

Abstract

Section 731 of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act, Pub L. No. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010)) amended the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) by adding sections 4s(f), 4s(g), and 4s(i), among others. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission promulgated regulations 23.500-23.505, which obligate swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs) to develop and retain written swap trading relationship documentation. The final regulations also establish requirements for SDs and MSPs regarding swap confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression. Confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression are important, post-trade processing mechanisms for reducing risk and improving operational efficiency. *Note: The collections of information under OMB control numbers 3038-0068, 3038-0083, and 3038-0088 are now consolidated under OMB control number 3038-0088, and OMB control numbers 3038-0068 and 3038-0083 have been withdrawn as of July 5, 2022. Concurrently with this change, the Commission has changed the name associated with OMB control number 3038-0088 to “Swap Documentation.” While the collection has been renewed until June 30, 2025, this amended supporting statement is now submitted to correct the aggregate burden hours for the consolidated collection, and to officially affirm the discontinuance of OMB control numbers 3038-0068 and 3038-0083.

Abstract

Title 14 CFR Part 157 mandates that all “persons proposing to construct, alter, activate, or deactivate a civil or joint-use (civil/military) airport or to alter the status or use of such an airport” must notify the FAA before any construction, alteration, or change to the status or use of an airport. Airports submit this information using FAA Form 7480-1, Notice for Construction, Alteration and Deactivation of Airports, or its online equivalent. The collection is reporting and occurs on occasion as needed. The collection requires proponents to report and certify the purpose of the notification; the name, location, use, and type of landing area affected; landing area data; and operation data, including number of based aircraft and average number of landings. The FAA uses the information collected when: • Determining the effect the proposed action will have on existing airports and on the safe and efficient use of airspace by aircraft. • Determining the effects the proposed action will have on existing or contemplated traffic patterns of neighboring airports. • Determining the effects the proposed action will have on the existing airspace structure and projected programs of the FAA. • Determining the effects that existing or proposed manmade objects (on file with the FAA) and natural objects within the affected area will have on the airport proposal. Proponents are also required to notify the FAA by letter or by FAA Form 5010-5 within 15 days after completion of the project. The FAA requires this notification because many proposals are never completed for reasons pertinent only to the sponsor. The confirmation of the completion of the project is needed in order to identify the cancelled proposals, so as to release any airspace that may have been reserved and to update aeronautical charts and flight information publications. The collection/burden for Form 5010-5 falls under a different collection (OMB Control Number 2120-0015). It is anticipated that the information collected will be disseminated to the public or used to support publicly disseminated information in aeronautical charts and flight information publications. FAA Office of Airports will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for privacy and electronic information. See response to Question 10 of this Supporting Statement for more information on confidentiality and privacy. The information collection is designed to yield data that meet all applicable information quality guidelines.

Abstract

FERC-545 is required to implement sections 4, 5, and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), (15 USC 717c, 717d, and 717o). NGA Sections 4, 5, and 16 authorize the Commission to inquire into rate structures and methodologies and to set rates at a just and reasonable level. Specifically, a natural gas company must obtain Commission authorization for all rates and charges made, demanded, or received in connection with the transportation or sale of natural gas in interstate commerce. In the NOPR, the Commission proposes to amend its regulations at 18 CFR 284.12 to incorporate by reference, with certain enumerated exceptions, Version 4.0 of Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines adopted by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB). These amendments, if implemented, would affect FERC-545 by requiring filers to establish compliant mechanisms to share and post information which would be included in their rates on file with the Commission.

Abstract

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has fielded the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) annually since 1998. The HOS is a national survey of Medicare managed care plan enrollees that provides data that permit the calculation of both longitudinal and cross-sectional measures of plan performance that are publicly reported to assist Medicare beneficiaries in making enrollment decisions. This request is to conduct a field test to evaluate potential new survey items, alternatives to existing survey content, and the effects of a web-based survey administration mode on response patterns and measure scores. CMS’s goal is a refined and shorter HOS survey instrument with new and methodologically simpler cross-sectional and longitudinal measures, expanded measurement of physical functioning and mental health, and the addition of survey items that support CMS’s efforts to measure and address health equity.

Advisory Circular (AC) 120-119, Voluntary Safety Management System for Other Regulated Entities Transporting Dangerous Goods by Air, provides information on how entities subject to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 171-180 may voluntarily implement a Safety Management System (SMS) as described in 14 CFR Part 5, Safety Management Systems. These entities perform functions such as handling or shipping dangerous goods by air and are referred to as Other Regulated Entities (ORE). As outlined in AC 120-119, large OREs can use the SMS principles in 14 CFR Part 5 as a basis to develop a voluntary SMS program, including an SMS Implementation Plan, which is submitted to the FAA’s Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (AXH) for review and acceptance. Then, the ORE implements its SMS program and maintains records to document processes, identify hazards, and document non-compliance. This collection covers the burden of developing the implementation plan and continued monitoring of the voluntary SMS program. Changes in this renewal include: • Adjustment (added an IC) to better distinguish between initial submission and continuing recordkeeping burden; • Adjustment in respondent estimates (decrease) based on current data; and • Adjustment in annual burden estimates for initial submission (decrease) based on subject matter expertise.

Rule 204-5 (17 CFR 275.204-5) under the Investment Advisers Act requires registered investment advisers to provide a brief relationship summary to retail investors to inform them about certain aspects of the relationships and services the firm offers (the “relationship summary”). Rule 204-5 includes a third-party disclosure requirement that an investment adviser deliver an electronic or paper version of the relationship summary to each retail investor before or at the time the adviser enters into an investment advisory contract with the retail investor. Retail investors can use this information to determine whether to hire or retain an investment adviser, as well as what types of accounts and services are appropriate for their needs. The Commission also will use the information to manage its regulatory and examination programs.

Reliability Standards CIP 003 10, CIP-004-8, CIP-005-8, CIP-006-7.1, CIP-007-7.1, CIP-008-7.1, CIP 009 7.1, CIP-010-5, CIP-011-4.1, and CIP-013-3. According to NERC, the proposed Reliability Standards would allow responsible entities to fully implement virtualization and address risks associated with virtualized environments, such as “side channel” attacks where virtual systems executing on the same hardware could affect one another. NERC also states that the use of security objectives within the CIP Reliability Standards establishes a framework adaptable to newer technologies. NERC explains that its revisions would: (1) support different security models by adjusting language around perimeter-based models to accommodate other security models; (2) recognize “virtualization infrastructure and virtual machines through new and revised terms in the NERC Glossary;” (3) broaden “change management approaches beyond a baseline-only configuration to recognize the dynamic nature of virtualized technologies,” e.g., where such virtualized systems are no longer installed on specific servers; and (4) manage “accessibility and attack surfaces of a virtualized configuration.” In addition to the changes to facilitate virtualization, the proposed Reliability Standards incorporate clarifications found during the implementation of prior versions of the CIP Standards.
