Workforce Development Participant Tracking

Key Information

Abstract

The Public Lands Corps is a work and education program involving the nation’s land management agencies, conservation and service corps, and environmental organizations that contribute to the rehabilitation, restoration, and repair of public lands resources and infrastructures. Public Lands Corps projects provide opportunities for community and national public service, work experience and training for young people who are unemployed or underemployed persons, students, recent graduates, and others with an interest in natural and cultural resources careers. The Agency has developed a tracking sheet (FS-1800-0026, Workforce Development Participant Tracking Form) to support the effective management of the Public Lands Corps Program. The utilization of the Workforce Development Participant Tracking Form will assist the Agency in ensuring qualified program participants lawfully receive a certificate of non-competitive hiring eligibility,which can be used to apply to Forest Service merit announcements on USAJobs.

FERC-1005, Credit Related Information Sharing Between RTOs/ISOs

Key Information

Abstract

In 2023, FERC issued the Final Rule in Docket No. RM22-13-000 discussing the need for RTOs/ISOs to share credit related information with each other. The credit-related information sharing is intended to reduce the risk of liquidity failures amongst utilities. As described in the Final Rule, the Commission revised section 35.47 of Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations to permit credit-related information sharing between organized wholesale electric markets. The rule does not create an information collection that is submitted to FERC, rather it permits the ability to share information between RTOs/ISOs and directs RTOs/ISOs to update their tariff provisions to include processes and procedures to do so. At that time RTOs/ISOs were required to update their tariff provisions to enable credit-related information sharing. This process has been completed, which is why the Commission is removing the burden related to this action. The remaining burden is associated with facilitating the information sharing between entities in accordance with each RTO’s/ISO’s processes and procedures.

Parts Tariff Offset Program for Automobiles, MHDVs, Engines

Key Information

Abstract

On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908 (90 FR 14705), “Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States,” (Proclamation 10908) finding that imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts continue to threaten to impair the national security of the United States and imposing specified tariffs to adjust imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (“Section 232”). Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives that are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security. Proclamation 10908 imposed a 25 percent tariff on certain imports of automobiles, effective April 3, 2025, and certain imports of automobile parts, effective May 3, 2025. On April 29, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10925 (90 FR 18899), which allowed for automobile manufactures assembling automobiles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamation 10908 on imports of automobiles parts. Proclamation 10925 required that within 30 days of the date of the order the Secretary of the Department of Commerce (Commerce) shall establish a process by which automobile manufacturers could submit documentation supporting eligibility and a claim for an import adjustment offset amount. A prepared notice announces procedures for administration of the import adjustment offset amount program, including application, documentation, and certification requirements, eligibility conditions, and coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). On June 13, 2025, the International Trade Administration published a Notice titled “Procedures To Administer Import Adjustment Offset Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under Proclamation 10908, as Amended” (90 FR 25027), which established procedures for automobile manufacturers to apply for and use the import adjustment offset amount established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April 29, 2025 (90 FR 18899), “Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States” (Proclamation 10925) to incentivize domestic automobile production and reduce American reliance on imports of foreign automobiles and their parts. Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025, “Adjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States,” (Proclamation 10984) took similar action to address the threat imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (MHDV) and Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts (MHDVPs) pose to the national security of the United States; that Proclamation also amended the offset rules established by Proclamation 10925. Proclamation 10984 also allowed engine manufacturers assembling automobile engines and MHDV engines in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamations 10908 and 10984 on imports of engine parts. Proclamation 10984 required Commerce to establish an import adjustment offset process for automobile engine manufacturers and MHDV engine manufacturers equivalent to that provided for automobile manufacturers and MHDV manufacturers, with offsets accruals based on the aggregate value of automobile engine and MHDV engines assembled in the United States by the engine manufacturer, with the same accrual percentage rate and U.S. assembly restrictions as were provided in the Proclamation for automobile manufacturers and MHDV manufacturers.

Application for Approval to Participate in Federal Student Aid Programs

Key Information

Abstract

Section 487(c) of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended, requires that the Secretary of Education prescribe regulations to ensure that any funds postsecondary institutions receive under the HEA are used solely for the purposes specified in and in accordance with the provision of the applicable programs. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed into law on July 4, 2025, made statutory changes to Federal Pell Grants that impact regulatory requirements proposed in this information collection. Section 83002(b) of the OBBB established a new academic program in which eligible students can receive Pell Grants. Programs must meet several criteria to become eligible workforce programs which the Department must obtain, review and maintain as outlined in the law and regulations. This is a request for a revision of 1845-0012 to add Eligible Workforce Programs to the Application. There have been no other changes to the collection since the last ICR approved by OMB on 03/31/2026. All additional burden currently assessed to this collection remain the same.

Commercial Motor Vehicle Marking Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for an extension and modification of a previously approved ICR. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) vehicle marking regulations in 49 CFR part 390 require freight-carrying motor carriers, intrastate hazardous materials transporting motor carriers, passenger-carrying motor carriers, and intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) engaging in interstate transportation to display certain information on their vehicles or equipment. The USDOT number is used to identify all motor carriers in FMCSA's registration and information systems. It is also used by States as the key identifier in the Performance and Registration Information Systems Management system, a cooperative Federal/State program that makes motor carrier safety a requirement for obtaining and maintaining commercial motor vehicle registration and privileges. The marking requirements are mandatory and apply to freight-carrying commercial motor carriers (i.e., trucking companies), passenger-carrying commercial motor carriers, and intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) engaging in interstate transportation. The Agency provides performance-based requirements for the marking but does not require a specific method of marking as long as the method complies with FMCSA’s regulations. These requirements ensure that FMCSA, NTSB and the States are able to identify motor carriers and correctly assign responsibility for regulatory violations during inspections, investigations, compliance reviews, and crash studies. These requirements will also provide the public with beneficial information that could also assist in identifying carriers for the purposes of commerce, complaints or emergency notification. The appropriate marking of vehicles, owned, leased or rented, assists FMCSA in identifying motor carriers and monitoring the safety performance and crash involvement, thereby helping the Agency identify unsafe, high risk motor carriers. This ICR also greatly assists FMCSA and its State partners in meeting the standard burden of proof for enforcement actions against non-compliant carriers, as well as assists State partners during accident investigations in determining the responsible motor carrier involved in a CMV crash. The regulations include a marking requirement, which depending on the need and method could be permanent or temporary. Only enough information is collected to maintain tracking of intermodal equipment. There are 4 ICs as follows:IC1: Freight-carrying Commercial Motor Carriers; IC2: Intrastate Hazardous Materials Transporting Motor Carriers; IC3: Passenger-carrying Commercial Motor Carriers; and IC4: Intermodal Equipment Providers (IEPs).

FERC-537, Gas Pipeline Certificates: Construction, Acquisition and Abandonment

Key Information

Abstract

The NOPR seeks stakeholder perspectives on a Commission proposal to revise its part 157, subpart F blanket certificate regulations, 18 CFR sections 157.208(d) and 157.215(a)(5), to increase the cost limitations for projects that interstate natural gas pipelines may construct without a case-specific authorization order. The FERC 537 collection includes the requirements to obtain FERC approval for construction, acquisition, or abandonment of natural gas pipelines. Under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) a natural gas company must obtain FERC authorization to engage in the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce, to undertake the construction or extension of any facilities, or to acquire or operate any such facilities or extensions in accordance with Section 7(c) of the NGA. A natural gas company must also obtain FERC approval under Section 7(b) of the NGA prior to abandoning any jurisdictional facility or service. Under the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) (Public Law 96-621) interstate pipelines must also obtain FERC authorization for certain transportation arrangements. If a certificate is granted, the natural gas company can engage in the interstate transportation of natural gas and construct, acquire, or operate facilities. Conversely, approval of an abandonment application permits the pipeline to cease service and discontinue the operation of such facilities. Authorization under NGPA Section 311(a) allows the interstate or intrastate pipeline applicants to render certain transportation services.

Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Education (the Department) is requesting OMB approval for a reinstatement without change to 1845-0077 Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) allows for up to a one hundred percent cancellation of a Federal Perkins Loan and loan forgiveness of a Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan program loan if the graduate teaches full-time in an elementary or secondary school serving low-income students. The data collected for the development of the Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory provides web-based access to a list of all elementary and secondary schools, and educational service agencies that serve a total enrollment of more than 30 percent low income students (as defined under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended). The Directory allows post-secondary institutions to determine whether or not a teacher, who received a Federal Perkins Loan, Direct Loan, or Federal Family Education Loan at their school, is eligible to receive loan cancellation or forgiveness or that a teacher who received a TEACH Grant is meeting the service obligation. This revision request updates the collection with an optional school type data element.

Supporting Pilot Program Outcomes, Research and Technical Assistance in TANF (Project SUPPORTT) Implementation and Outcomes Studies

Key Information

Abstract

The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA) requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to carry out a pilot program under which it may select up to five states to negotiate new Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) performance benchmarks for work and family outcomes in place of compliance with the Work Participation Rate (WPR). The legislation also requires HHS to submit a final comprehensive report on outcomes of the pilots to Congress no later than one year after the pilot programs have ended. To meet this requirement, the HHS Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awarded the Supporting Pilot Program Outcomes, Research, and Technical Assistance in TANF (Project SUPPORTT) contract to (1) provide research, evaluation, and data-related technical assistance (TA) to help pilot states meet the requirements of the Pilot, including negotiating new TANF performance benchmarks for work and family outcomes; (2) facilitate peer learning and other opportunities for pilot and non-pilot states to interact and learn from each other; and (3) design and conduct implementation and outcome studies of the pilot programs to inform a report to Congress as required by P.L. 118-5. ACF has contracted with Mathematica to complete this work. This data collection request is necessary to conduct implementation and outcomes studies that will assess and build evidence around outcomes-based performance monitoring in TANF programs and fulfill the requirements of P.L. 118-5. The information collection activities will last for five years, beginning in October 2026 and ending in September 2031. Final reporting will be completed during the following year.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Annual Report on Households Assisted

Key Information

Abstract

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621) was established under Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, P. L. 97-35. The Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) administers LIHEAP at the federal level. The LIHEAP Household Report is an annual data collection effort conducted by OCS to collect information from LIHEAP grantees to meet statutory requirements and program objectives. The LIHEAP statute requires the collection of data on the number of households assisted, their income levels, and vulnerability group, by type of LIHEAP assistance, for inclusion in the Secretary’s annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. The data are collected through the LIHEAP Household Report, which consists of the following: (1) a Long Format for state grant recipients, the District of Columbia, and select territory grant recipients, and (2) a Short Format for tribal grant recipients and select territory grant recipients. The LIHEAP Annual Household Report Long and Short Formats have been revised to reduce respondent burden, improve clarity of reporting instruments, and ensure the collection remains focused on current statutory and programmatic requirements. Revisions include eliminating the lines inquiring about CARES and ARPA funds as they are no longer applicable and removing the sections asking about the applicant's sex, race and ethnicity as this information is not statutorily required.

Swap Recordkeeping Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The CFTC requests approval for the renewal of the information collections associated with the Swap Recordkeeping regulations under OMB Clearance No. 3038-0090. The information collection obligations imposed by the “Adaptation of Regulations to Incorporate Swaps” regulations are necessary to implement section 721 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which amended the definitions of futures commission merchant (“FCM”) and introducing broker (“IB”) to permit these intermediaries to trade swaps on behalf of customers. They also are necessary to implement section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act which introduced swap execution facilities (“SEFs”) as a new trading platform for swaps. As a result of the enactment of sections 721 and 733, the Commission amended certain recordkeeping regulations (1.31, 1.33, 1.35, 1.37, and 1.39) so that records of swap transactions are maintained analogously to how futures transactions are maintained. Further, the “Exclusion of Utility Operations-Related Swaps With Utility Special Entities From De Minimis Threshold for Swaps With Special Entities” regulation amended the Commission’s swap dealer definition to permit a person to exclude “utility operations-related swaps” with “utility special entities” in their de minimis threshold calculations. The regulation requires a person claiming the exclusion to maintain in accordance with Commission regulation 1.31 any written representations that the person receives from utility special entities related to this exclusion.

Registration of Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants

Key Information

Abstract

Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) Section 4s(a) (7 U.S.C. 6s(a)) makes it unlawful for a swap dealer (SD) or major swap participant (MSP) to act as such unless registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). CEA Section 4s(b) (7 U.S.C. 6s(b)) requires that registration of SDs and MSPs be accomplished by filing an application in such form and manner as provided by the CFTC, containing such information as the CFTC considers necessary concerning the applicant’s business. Pursuant to regulations adopted by the CFTC pursuant to CEA Section 4s(b), SDs and MSPs are required to register on Form 7-R and principals listed by SDs and MSPs must submit Form 8-R. CFTC Form 7-R (for firms) and Form 8-R (for natural persons) request information about the applicant that is necessary to assess the applicant’s fitness to engage in business in the registration categories referenced above, subject to regulation and oversight by the CFTC. (1st IC) Commission Regulation 3.21(e) provides generally that, in lieu of submitting a fingerprint card for a foreign natural person who has not resided in the U.S. since the person’s 18th birthday, a swap dealer or major swap participant may certify that a criminal history background check of such foreign natural person has not revealed any matter that would statutorily disqualify him or her from being registered or listed as a principal. (2nd IC) Commission Regulation 23.23 addresses the cross-border application of the registration thresholds and certain requirements applicable to SDs and MSPs,and establishes a formal process for requesting comparability determinations from the Commission to permit substituted compliance with such requirements. (3rd IC)
