Management of Non-Federal Oil and Gas Rights, 50 CFR 29, Subpart D

Key Information

Abstract

The Service implements regulations governing the exercise of non-Federal oil and gas rights in order to improve our ability to protect refuge resources, visitors, and the general public's health and safety from potential impacts associated with non-Federal oil and gas operations located within U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge units. The regulations provide regulatory clarity and guidance to oil and gas operators and refuge staff, provide the process for compliance, incorporate technological improvements in exploration and drilling technology, and ensure that non-Federal oil and gas operations are conducted in a manner that avoids or minimizes adverse effects on refuge resources.

Prospective Payments for Hospital Outpatient Services and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 413.65 (CMS-R-240)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 413.65(b)(3) states that a provider which is seeking a determination of provider-based status for a facility not located on the provider's campus must submit an attestation of compliance with applicable provider-based requirements and must supply documentation supporting its attestation at the time the attestation is made. Section 413.65(a)(1)(ii) establishes a listing of specific facilities for which determinations for provider-based status for payment purposes are not made. services. . In addition, section 1866(b)(2) of the Act authorizes hospitals and other providers to impose deductible and coinsurance charges for facility services, but does not allow such charges by facilities or organizations which are not provider-based. Implementation of this provision requires that CMS have information from the required reports, so it can determine which facilities are provider-based. Section 6225 of the CAA requires that, as a condition of receiving payment under the OPPS as of January 1, 2028, an off-campus department of a provider obtain and bill under a separate NPI and that the main provider must submit a provider-based status attestation that the off-campus outpatient department is compliant with the requirements for such departments.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, Experimental Populations – Colorado Gray Wolf (50 CFR 17.84)

Key Information

Abstract

Individuals of designated experimental populations for species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) are categorically protected. Documentation of human-related mortalities, recovery of dead specimens, animal husbandry actions necessary to manage the population, and other types of take related to the status of experimental populations is important for monitoring the success of reintroduction efforts and recovery efforts in general. To minimize potential conflict with humans that could undermine recovery efforts, livestock depredations connected with experimental populations of listed species require prompt attention for purposes of determining the location, timing, and nature of the predatory behavior involved, accurate determination of the species responsible for a livestock kill, and the timely application of necessary control measures. We collect information in nonform format. The information collection requirements are in 50 CFR 17.84.

Pilot Certification and Qualification Requirements for Air Carrier Operations

Key Information

Abstract

The FAA is requesting a reinstatement of this collection, which regrettably lapsed in December 2025 after an improperly submitted emergency extension request. This collection has since been transferred to the General Aviation and Commercial Division of the Flight Standards Service. Although additional detail is being provided in this submission, there is no change to what reporting and recordkeeping information is being collected or how it is being used by the FAA. There are two distinct collections described here. First, Training providers that want to and are eligible to deliver the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certification Training Program (CTP) submit a course for approval. This includes curriculum information, training resources, flight simulation training devices and other training aids to be used, instructor training information, and course and testing materials. FAA aviation safety inspectors review all of the information to determine if the program complies with the applicable requirements of 14 CFR 61.156. The programs that comply with the minimum requirements receive approval and are issued an operation specification (OpSpec), training specification (TSpec), or letter of authorization (LOA), as appropriate to the applicant, to begin offering the course for applicants that seek an ATP certificate with a multiengine class rating. The OpSpecs and TSpecs are tracked in the FAA’s Web-Based Operations Safety System (WebOPSS) so principal inspectors can manage what their certificate holder is authorized to train. Principal inspectors of pilot schools also track LOAs issued to their certificate holder. Continuing to allow training providers to seek approval for the ATP CTP is necessary because this specific course of training is required for all pilot applicants seeing a multiengine ATP certificate. This is a one-time submission for initial course approval. Any program revisions are accomplished through the existing course revision processes and do not apply to this collection. Second, institutions of higher education that seek the authority to certify its graduates meet the minimum requirements of 14 CFR 61.160 will submit an application for approval. The collection requires the applicant to provide its pilot school certificate number as well as the pilot school certificate number that is being contracted to perform flight training. The application also requires aviation degree and course information to enable a determination for what meets the requirements of 14 CFR 61.160. The applications are received and reviewed by an FAA aviation safety inspector. If the application meets the requirements, the institutions of higher education receive a LOA for its degree program(s) and are then authorized to place a certifying statement on the transcripts of eligible graduates indicating he or she is eligible for a restricted privileges ATP certificate. This information is collected on occasion. There is a one-time submission for authorization. Additional submissions are only required if there are significant changes in the program or the institution of higher education seeks to add eligible courses or degree programs to its authorization.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Contingency Fund Application

Key Information

Abstract

To date, there is no single, standalone standard form for requesting TANF contingency funds; instead, ACF has provided a recommended letter of request template within official guidance to outline provisional payment and certification information including the signature of the state’s Governor or authorized designee. The information collection standardizes the mechanism through which the 50 states and the District of Columbia request provisional payments on a monthly basis. Authority to distribute provisional payments based on receipt of state requests for contingency funds is contained in section 403 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 603(b)(3), as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105. When Congress established Grants to States, it codified the “Contingency Fund for State Welfare Programs” at §403(b) of the Social Security Act (the Act), and clarified the prerequisite of state request by stating that that provisional payments shall be paid to “an eligible State [which] submits to the Secretary a request for funds under this paragraph during an eligible month.” 42. U.S.C. § 603(b)(3)(A).

Cybersecurity Measures for Surface Modes

Key Information

Abstract

On December 17, 2021, TSA issued the Security Directive (SD) 1580-21-01 series, Enhancing Rail Cybersecurity, and the SD 1582-21-01 series, Enhancing Public Transportation and Passenger Railroad Cybersecurity, which remain in effect as revised, mandating TSA-specified Owner/Operators of “higher risk” railroads and rail transit systems, respectively, to implement an array of cybersecurity measures to prevent disruption and degradation to their infrastructure; these security directives became effective December 31, 2021. In addition, on October 18, 2022, TSA issued the SD 1580/1582-2022-01 series, Rail Cybersecurity Mitigation Actions and Testing, which applies to Owner/Operators of the “Higher Risk” freight railroads identified in 49 CFR 1580.101 and additional TSA-designated freight and passenger railroads. This security directive, which is complementary to the requirements in the previous directives, took effect on October 24, 2022. On October 26, 2022, OMB approved TSA’s request for an emergency approval, revising this information collection. See ICR Reference Number: 202210-1652-001. The collection covers both mandatory reporting under the security directives and collection of information voluntarily submitted under Information Circular (IC) 2021-01, Enhancing Surface Transportation Cybersecurity, which recommended voluntary implementation of actions and reporting by Owner/Operators not covered by the security directives. The OMB approval allowed for the additional institution of mandatory reporting requirements and collection of information voluntarily submitted. See ICR Reference Number: 202111-1652-003.

Default Investment Alternatives under Participant Directed Individual Account Plans

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Labor finalized a regulation under ERISA section 404(c)(5)(A). The regulation offers guidance on the types of investment vehicles that plans may choose as their “qualified default investment alternative” (QDIA) and receive fiduciary relief. The regulation also outlines two types of information collections. First, it implements the statutory requirement that plans provide annual notices to participants and beneficiaries whose account assets could be invested in a QDIA. Second, the regulation requires plans to disclose certain information regarding a QDIA to those participants and beneficiaries with assets invested in the QDIA as well to provide certain information on request. These two information collections are necessary to inform participants and beneficiaries, who do not make investment elections, of the consequences of their failure to elect investments, the ways in which their account assets will be invested through the QDIA, and of their continuing opportunity to make other investment elections, including options available under the plan.

Hunting and Fishing Application Forms and Activity Reports for National Wildlife Refuges and National Fish Hatcheries (50 CFR Parts 32 and 71)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee), as amended (Administration Act), and the Refuge Recreation Act of 1962 (16 U.S.C. 460k-460k-4) (Recreation Act) govern the administration and public uses of national wildlife refuges and wetland management districts. The Administration Act closes NWRs in all States except Alaska to all uses until opened. The Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) may open refuge areas to any use, including hunting and/or sport fishing, upon a determination that the use is compatible with the purposes of the refuge and National Wildlife Refuge System mission. We collect information on hunters and anglers and their success in order to administer and evaluate hunting and fishing programs. Because of high demand and limited resources, we often provide hunt opportunities by lottery, based on dates, locations, or type of hunt. We collect information on the prospective hunter, on the preferred dates and locations, and on the type of hunt. We also require labeling of hunting/fishing equipment, require certain notifications be made to refuge staff, and collect information at the end of hunting and/or fishing experiences to help determine resource impacts and quality of experience.

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.

Exemption from Derivatives Clearing Organization Registration

Key Information

Abstract

Section 5b(a) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) provides that a clearing organization may not perform the functions of a derivatives clearing organization (DCO) with respect to swaps unless the clearing organization is registered with the Commission. Section 5b(h) of the CEA, however, permits the Commission to conditionally or unconditionally exempt a clearing organization from registration as a DCO for the clearing of swaps if the Commission determines that the clearing organization is subject to “comparable, comprehensive supervision and regulation” by the clearing organization’s home country government regulator. This Collection relates to information collections associated with the CFTC’s policies and procedures governing requests for exemptions from registration as a DCO for the clearing of proprietary swaps for U.S. persons and futures commission merchants (FCMs). See Exemption From Derivatives Clearing Organization Registration, 86 FR 949 (Jan. 7, 2021). The rules include reporting requirements that are collections of information requiring approval under the PRA. Specifically, the Commission amended Part 39 to specify the conditions and procedures under which a clearing organization may apply for exemption from registration as a DCO, the information that must be provided to the Commission to obtain and maintain such exemption, and procedures for termination of an exemption. The information that is collected under these regulations is necessary for the Commission to determine whether a clearing organization qualifies for exemption from DCO registration, to evaluate the continued eligibility of the exempt DCO for exemption from registration, to review compliance by the exempt DCO with any conditions of such exemption, or to conduct its oversight of U.S. persons and the swaps that are cleared by U.S. persons through the exempt DCO.

Voluntary Child Safety Seat Registration Form

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) is to seek approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a reinstatement and revision of a previously approved information collection. This information collection is for mandatory disclosure requirements and recordkeeping for manufacturers of child restraint systems and voluntary reporting for consumers. The provisions of the collection ensure that manufacturers of child restraint systems (CRSs): (1) produce registration cards, informational labels, and printed instructions (brochures); (2) collect CRS owner registration information; and (3) create and keep registration records. The requirements of this collection apply to CRS manufacturers and voluntary reporting applies to consumers who purchase CRSs. This required collection supports the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) strategic goal for safety by working towards the elimination of transportation related deaths and injuries involving children. CRS manufacturers are required to provide owner registration cards and to label their CRSs with a prescribed message informing the consumer/CRS owner of the importance of registering the CRS as well as with information necessary to allow subsequent owners to register the restraint. The CRS manufacturer is required to keep records of the consumer registration information by developing and maintaining a filing system which contains the owner’s name and address along with identifying information for the CRS purchased by that consumer. Requiring the retention of this information ensures that the manufacturer is able to contact owners if the product they purchased is later subject to a safety recall, thus increasing the likelihood that safety recalls for CRSs will be remedied. CRS manufacturers are also required to provide with all CRSs: (1) printed instructions with step-by-step information on how the restraint is to be used and (2) permanent labeling that gives “quick-look” information on whether the restraint meets the safety requirements, recommended installation and use, the child weight limit for using the lower anchors to attach the child restraint to the vehicle, and warnings against misuse. The provided instructions and labeling are to guide the consumer on how to properly install and use CRSs. Without proper use, the effectiveness of a CRS is greatly diminished. NHTSA estimates the total burden of this information collection is 119,439 hours and $10,565,493 (rounded). In 2025, the agency estimates that 16,000,000 CRSs will be sold each year. Therefore, the burden increased from 109,939 hours to 119,439 burden hours (an increase of 9,500 hours) and the total cost increased from $8,781,987.85 to $10,565,492.70 (an increase of $1,783,504.85) due to the new requirements that result in the added time needed to redesign the registration card and increases in labor wages.

Bridging the Data Gap in Pavement Management and Quality Assurance

Key Information

Abstract

This is a new voluntary information collection request submitted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to support research on the current state of practice for digital project delivery and digital as-builts, with a focus on pavement and materials testing and electronic quality assurance (QA) data within State transportation agencies. The collection consists of a one-time, web-based survey distributed to State transportation agencies, three FHWA Federal Lands Highway Divisions, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Committee on Materials and Pavements. Information collected will be received and analyzed by FHWA to assess the beneficial uses and limitations of electronic QA data, evaluate its implications for digital as-builts, advanced digital construction management systems (ADCMS), building information modeling (BIM), and lifecycle asset management; and identify gaps and requirements for developing a standardized data schema. The survey will gather information on the extent of: • The extent of collection, processing, storage, and analysis of pavement and materials QA data across design, construction, and asset management. • The availability and integration of geospatial information. • Currently implemented commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and in-house technologies and databases. • Existing data exchange standards or processes supporting digital QA data. • Challenges associated with data-related practices and use “touch points.” • Specific data use cases and desired practices not yet implemented.

Accident/Incident Reporting and Recordkeeping

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of the information collected under 49 CFR Part 225 is to provide the Federal Railroad Administration with accurate information concerning the hazards and risks that exist on the Nation's railroads. FRA needs this information to effectively carry out its regulatory responsibilities under 49 U.S.C. chapters 201-213. FRA also uses this information for determining comparative trends of railroad safety and to develop hazard elimination and risk reduction programs that focus on preventing railroad injuries and accidents. Any State may require railroads to submit to it copies of accident/incident and injury/illness reports filed with FRA under this part, for accidents/incidents and injuries/illnesses which occur in that State. This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed and involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, the information collected enables FRA to promote and enhance railroad safety.
