Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Operator Annual Reports

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal pipeline safety regulations at 49 CFR §§195.58 require operators of hazardous liquid pipelines to submit specific data on the safety of their pipelines annually. This mandatory information collection requires the operators to submit data on the preceding year electronically by June 15th of each calendar year. This information is used by PHMSA to identify trends in hazardous liquid pipeline accidents and to identify operators who have poor safety records. PHMSA is revising the hazardous liquid pipeline annual report form (PHMSA Form F7000.1-1) to collect data on the number of breakout tanks managed under risk-based inspection protocols in conjunction with the Pipeline Safety: Breakout Tank Inspection rule.

Approvals for Hazardous Materials

Key Information

Abstract

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has the primary responsibility for the issuance of Department of Transportation (DOT) Special Permits and Approvals under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171 180). An approval is a written authorization, including a competent authority approval, issued by the Associate Administrator, the Associate Administrator’s designee, or as otherwise prescribed in the HMR, to perform a function for which prior authorization by the Associate Administrator is required under subchapter C of this chapter (49 CFR parts 171-180). There are more than 100 approval provisions in the HMR and associated procedural regulations. Responses to this information collection are required to obtain benefits, including becoming an approval or certification agency, or obtaining a variance from packaging or handling requirements based on information provided by the respondent. These benefits and variances include, but are not limited to: United Nations (UN) third party certification; authorization to examine and test lighters; authorization to examine and test explosives; and authorization to re-qualify DOT cylinders. This information collection supports the Departmental Strategic Goal for Safety. Required collections are contained in Hazardous Materials Program Procedures, 49 CFR part 107 and parts 100-185. These regulations are promulgated in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5110, the Federal hazardous materials transportation law. On February 10, 2026, PHMSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With International Standards” [HM-215R, 91 FR 5996 ]. PHMSA is proposing a new requirement in § 173.169 to require a competent authority approval for the shipment of fire suppressant dispersing devices. These proposed requirements in § 173.169 address the classification, handling and transport of fire suppressant dispersing devices as a Class 9 material. Specifically, PHMSA proposes that these fire suppressant dispersing devices must be examined and successfully tested by a person or agency who is authorized by the Associate Administrator to perform examination and testing of explosives as explained in § 173.56(b)(1), followed by submittal to the Associate Administrator and issuance of an EX approval.

Medical Standards and Certification

Key Information

Abstract

Individuals seeking to exercise pilot privileges are required to obtain a FAA medical certificate per 14 CFR §61.3(c) and §67.4. The collection is mandatory to be reported on occasion (as needed) based on the duration of the three classes of medical certificates as specified in 14 CFR §61.3(d) and will vary among respondents. The FAA collects this medical information only when an individual initially applies for or renews a FAA medical certificate. All applications and supporting documentation received are for decision-making and recordkeeping purposes. Respondents provide private medical information in order to meet FAA standards; their applications contain personally identifying information (PII). The application contains questions regarding medical history, the usage of medication, recent visits to a health professional, etc. It is anticipated that the information collected will be disseminated to Aviation Medical Examiners (i.e. public physicians designated by the FAA) through an automated system or used to support publicly disseminated information. The FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for confidentiality, 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. The FAA assigns a unique Pathology Index number (called a PI#) to each respondent’s application. Renewal applicants maintain the same PI# as their unique identifier for the lifecycle of their applications with the FAA. Following is a brief description of the purpose of this medical information collection: FAA Form 8500-7, Report of Eye Evaluation: Applicants who do not meet distant visual acuity standards and who desire an Authorization for Special Issuance of a Medical Certificate must submit FAA Form 8500-7 for evaluation and determination by FAA physicians. FAA Form 8500-8, Application for Airman Medical Certificate or Airman Medical and Student Pilot Certificate: Applicants complete this form to make application for an FAA medical certificate. FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs) perform a medical examination and, based on the applicants’ input, work with Agency physicians to assess an applicant’s medical fitness. FAA Form 8500-14, Ophthalmological Evaluation for Glaucoma: Applicants with glaucoma must submit FAA Form 8500-14 so that FAA physicians can make determinations regarding permissible operational flight activities commensurate with their medical condition and public safety.

Investor Form

Key Information

Abstract

Each year, thousands of investors voluntarily use the SEC's Investor Form or write emails to submit complaints concerning their brokers or investments, to ask questions about the securities laws and the securities industry, or to provide other feedback. In order to make it easier for investors and for the SEC staff, the SEC replaced the paper and web forms with an e-filed dynamic form (the Investor Form). The Investor Form does not ask for any information that was not on the previous forms, and provides drop down choices for investors so the contacts can more efficiently be routed to the appropriate staff. The dual purpose of the form is to make it easier for the public to contact the agency with complaints, questions, tips, or other feedback and to to further streamline the workflow of Commission staff that record, process, and respond to investor contacts.

Northeast Region Hunter Participation Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has overall Federal responsibility for managing the Nation's fish and wildlife resources. Part of the Service’s mission is to provide the public with wildlife-based outdoor recreation opportunities on National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, and other Service lands (collectively, refuges). These outdoor recreation opportunities include hunting, which is an important opportunity for people to connect with nature, harvest food, and assist the Service in managing wildlife populations. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act (The Act; 16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.) stipulates that refuges undergo a comprehensive conservation planning process that, among other things, must look at the compatibility of wildlife-dependent recreation (including hunting) on refuges. We will use the information from the proposed survey effort to inform planning on refuges as mandated by The Act.

Vocational Rehabilitation Financial Report (RSA-17)

Key Information

Abstract

The Vocational Rehabilitation Financial Report (RSA-17) collects data on the State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services program activities for agencies funded under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act), as amended by title IV of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), U.S. Department of Education (Department) uses the data to evaluate and monitor the financial and programmatic performance of VR agencies. This report is used in lieu of the SF-425 Federal Financial Report because the SF-425 does not capture the required data elements necessary to ensure compliance with the financial requirements of the VR program. The data collected via the RSA-17 are necessary to ensure Federal requirements imposed by the Rehabilitation Act and its implementing Federal regulations are satisfied; including matching, maintenance of effort, carryover, and earmarking. This is a request for revision of the RSA-17 form with extension of the revised form for three years. RSA identified a unique circumstance where a VR grantee may not receive credit for non-Federal expenditures for establishment or construction expenditures when the grantee's compliance with the maintenance of effort requirement is calculated. The current RSA-17 form does not collect the data element necessary to address this unique circumstance. The proposed revision to the form corrects this issue by providing the ability to track unliquidated obligations and liquidations for the Establishment and Construction of Facilities for Community Rehabilitation Program (CRP) purposes through revisions to lines 28, 32 and 33. In addition, the revisions remove reporting element, line 15(a), Required and Coordination Pre-employment Transition Service Activities and Other VR Services that Support Access to and Participation in Pre-Employment Transition Services and include minor typographical edits.

Request for Entry into Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program

Key Information

Abstract

The information requested will be used to support entry of the name of a minor (an unmarried person under 18) into the Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program (CPIAP). CPIAP provides a mechanism for parents or other persons with legal custody of a minor to obtain information regarding whether the Department has received a passport application for the minor. This program was developed as a means to prevent international abduction of a minor or to help prevent other travel of a minor without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If a minor's name and other identifying information has been entered into the CPIAP, when the Department receives an application for a new, replacement, or renewed passport for the minor, the application will be placed on hold for up to 60 days and the Office of Children's Issues will attempt to notify the requestor of receipt of the application. Form DS-3077 will be primarily submitted by a parent or legal guardian of a minor.

PCB Consolidated Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 6(e), 15 USC 2605(e), directs the EPA to regulate the marking and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). TSCA Section 6(e)(2) bans the manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and use of PCBs in other than a totally enclosed manner. TSCA Section 6(e)(3) establishes a process for obtaining an exemption from the prohibitions on the manufacture, processing, and distribution in commerce of PCBs. This provision requires that EPA must make a finding by rule that such activities will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. In addition, good faith efforts must have been made by the petitioner to develop a chemical substance that does not present an unreasonable risk to replace the PCBs. Exemptions may be granted for a period not to exceed one year. Implementing regulations have been codified in 40 CFR 761. This ICR consolidates the ICR for PCBs, Consolidated Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements currently approved by OMB under OMB Control No. 2070-0112, with the currently approved ICR covering the Alternate PCB Extraction Methods and Amendments to PCB Cleanup and Disposal Regulations under OMB Control No. 2050-0230. Upon OMB approval of this ICR, EPA intends to discontinue OMB Control No. 2070-0112.

30 CFR 582, Operations in the OCS for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulfur

Key Information

Abstract

The OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue regulations to grant to qualified persons who offer the highest cash bonus on a basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulfur in any area of the OCS not then under lease for such mineral upon such royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe at the time of offering the area for lease. Regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry out these statutory requirements by regulating mining operations within the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur and establishing a comprehensive regulatory program for such minerals. There has been no competitive leasing activity in the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur for many years. Accordingly, BOEM has not generally collected information under this Part of its regulations. However, since these are regulatory requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected, and BOEM is beginning to receive interest from industry. Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information collection. BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 582 to determine if lessees are complying with the regulations for mining minerals other than oil, gas, sulfur. BOEM will also use the information to ensure that such operations are conducted in a manner that will result in orderly resource recovery and development, and the protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments and for technical and environmental evaluations which provide a basis for BOEM to make informed decisions to approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed activities.

Generic Clearance National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications (NSEPC)

Key Information

Abstract

This information is an imperative requirement to address the multifaceted national emergency and critical infrastructure plans and interagency coordination to implement, support, protect, strengthen, and enhance emergency communications capabilities. Enabling and improving efforts to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, and timely manner is vital to the security of the nation to establish uniform policies, standards, and guidelines for integrating emergency communications across federal infrastructure protection and risk management within all 16 infrastructure sectors. It will allow for insight into customer and stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations, and to focus attention on areas where emergency communications, public safety training, or changes or in operations might improve ECD initiatives. The collections from the NSEPC will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders while simultaneously contributing directly to the improvement of program management. Improving agency programs requires the consistency of ongoing assessment of service delivery, meaning a systematic review of the operation of a program compared to a set of explicit or implicit standards, as a way of contributing to the continuous improvement of the program.

Rule 15c2-11, 17 CRF 240.15c2-11 (Publication or submission of quotations without current information)

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 15c2-11 ("Rule") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, governs the publication of quotations for securities in a quotation medium other than a national securities exchange—i.e., over the counter (“OTC”) securities. The Rule is designed to prevent broker-dealers from publishing or submitting quotations for OTC securities that may facilitate a fraudulent or manipulative scheme. Subject to certain exceptions, the Rule prohibits broker-dealers from publishing any quotation for a security or, directly or indirectly, submitting any quotation for publication, in a quotation medium unless they have reviewed specified information concerning the issuer. The Rule enhances disclosure and investor protection in the OTC market by ensuring that broker-dealers do not publish quotations for an issuer’s security when current issuer information is not publicly available, subject to certain exceptions. The Rule does not require that broker-dealers submit to the Commission the information collected pursuant to the Rule. Nor does Rule 15c2-11 require that information collected pursuant to the Rule be directly collected or stored by the Commission.
