Enterprise Scheduling System (ESS) and National Appointment and Scheduling Calendar (NASC)

Key Information

Abstract

The Enterprise Scheduling System (ESS) allows for both customer self-scheduling and technician assisted scheduling through an electronic scheduling tool, while the National Appointment and Scheduling Calendar (NASC) allows for technician-assisted scheduling through the ESS platform for initial claims appointment requests. ESS facilitates both customer self-scheduling and technician scheduling, along with NASC which facilitates technician scheduling, allowing SSA to collect essential information from customers, including their name, Social Security number, zip code, telephone number, and email address. Additionally, customers have the option to consent to electronic messaging or to opt out, as well as specify their preferred method of communication (email or text), language preference, preferred service office, and appointment day and time preferences. SSA uses this information to schedule in-office, phone, or video appointments for processing enumeration, PE actions, or initial claim appointments. Customers scheduling their PE or initial claim appointments through a technician have the option to create a one-time passcode, enabling them to securely update their appointment online. The technician documents this one-time passcode along with the customer's other appointment preferences. Customers begin the process by accessing SSA.gov and engaging an online questionnaire to determine the nature of their business. If applications are available for customers to self-serve, the system routes them to those applications to complete their business. If not, customers are given the option to self schedule an appointment through ESS. If the customer moves forward, the system directs them to create a credential using Login.gov or ID.me. Once they complete credentialing, customers access ESS to complete required screens and fields to select a date and time for an appointment with an SSA field office (FO) to provide the proofs necessary to obtain a replacement or original SSN card or complete a PE action. Upon completing the required screens and fields, the system presents customers with a screen to review and submit all of the data they input regarding the requested appointment. If customers encounter issues with ESS, or they need to request an appointment type which requires technician assistance (e.g., scheduling, rescheduling, or cancelling PE or initial claims appointments), they may contact SSA by phone to have an FO or Telephone Service Center (TSC) technician schedule their appointment. Technicians follow existing processes and policies to identify the caller as a legitimate customer, and converse with the customer to determine the nature of their business and if they require an appointment. If the technician determines the customer needs an appointment, the technician accesses ESS and completes the required screens and fields for the enumeration or PE appointment, or NASC for an initial claim appointment. Once the technician completes the ESS or NASC screens, the technician can review all of the information the customer provided with the customer. If the customer indicates it is correct the technician submits and schedules the appointment. We conduct this information collection each time a customer accesses the online tool or contacts SSA by phone to schedule an appointment. The respondents are individuals looking to schedule their SSA visit, either through self-scheduling or technician assisted modalities, using ESS and NASC. We are making minor IT Modification Changes to the NASC screens to enable customers and technicians to schedule appointments with employees knowledgeable of the local and state laws; simplify the way we present the Terms of Service and Privacy Act Statement (PAS); add information about the claimants’ protective filing date; provide a confirmation page; and add a new NASC screen for technicians’ usage for selecting multiple types of appointment.

Disability Report - Child

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 223(d)(5)(A) and 1631(e)(1) of the Act require Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claimants to furnish medical and other evidence to prove they are disabled. SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect information regarding a child applying for SSI disability payments. The information we collect on the SSA-3820-BK then provides the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) adjudicators a detailed explanation of a child’s medical history that is essential to the disability determination. SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect contact and biographic information about a child. It also includes details pertaining to the child’s condition including medical treating sources, medications being taken, medical tests, educational background, and work history if relevant. The State (DDS) evaluators use the information from Form SSA-3820-BK, including its electronic versions, to request and develop medical and school evidence, and to assess the alleged disability. The information collected on the form, together with medical evidence and other sources of non-medical evidence, provides the evidentiary basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The respondents are the responsible adult(s) applying on behalf of the child, such as the parents, guardians, and other caretakers who petition SSI childhood disability for initial and reconsideration decisions.

Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a renewal and revision of a previously approved collection for the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program (PCTC Program). This collection contains ongoing information collection requirements submitted by participating harvesters and processors for the following forms: (1) Application for PCTC Program Cooperative Quota (CQ), (2) Application for Inter-Cooperative Transfer of CQ, (3) Application for Transfer of PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) for Processors, and (4) Notification of Intent to Process PCTC Program Pacific Cod. As part of this revision, NMFS is removing the following forms which are no longer needed: (1) Application for PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) and (2) Ninety-Day Transfer Window for Non-Exempt American Fisheries Act (AFA) License Limitation Program (LLP) holders. This revision also removes the formal appeal process for CQ allocations, as this was only used during implementation of the program. The PCTC Program is a limited access privilege program for the harvest of Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands trawl catcher vessel sector. This program is necessary to increase the value of fishery, minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, provide for the sustained participation of fishery-dependent communities, ensure the sustainability and viability of the resource, and promote safety and stability in the harvesting and processing sectors. This information collection contains the collection instruments necessary for NMFS to implement the PCTC Program and manage cooperative quota and quota share in this fishery.

10 CFR 9, Public Records and NRC Forms 509 and 507

Key Information

Abstract

FINAL RULE: Revisions to Freedom of Information Act Implementing Regulations The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 9, “Public Records,” Subpart A, “Freedom of Information Act Regulations,” to improve clarity by using plain language, promote agency accountability, improve efficiency in responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, update roles and responsibilities, and align the regulations with current Federal best practices for implementing FOIA. This final rule addresses the recommendation by the National Archive and Records Administration, Office of Government Information Services, that the NRC update its FOIA regulations and incorporate the U.S. Department of Justice's model language for FOIA regulations, where appropriate. The information collections in this final rule are being submitted as a nonsubstantive change to the Part 9 information collection because the changes are considered minor, nonsubstantive amendments. Further, these amendments do not have an economic impact on NRC licensees or members of the public. The information collection burden associated with this final rule would not change.

National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for Perchlorate (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to regulate perchlorate in drinking water distributed by public water systems (PWSs). The paperwork burden associated with this proposed rule consists of the burden imposed on systems to read and understand the perchlorate rule as well as the burden associated with certain new collections of information. Specifically, PWSs will have to assign personnel and devote resources to implement the rule, including collecting or compiling initial water samples and submitting this monitoring data to the State. In addition, PWSs will need to attend training sessions and receive technical assistance from their State during implementation of the perchlorate rule. Likewise, the paperwork burden for States include reading and understanding the perchlorate rule. States will have to adopt the NPDWR and develop programs to implement the rule. This may result in States modifying or updating their data systems while implementing the perchlorate rule. States will also have to provide staff with training and technical assistance as well as provide water systems with training and technical assistance for implementation of the perchlorate rule. The information collected under this ICR is critical to States and other authorized entities that have been granted primacy (i.e., primary enforcement authority) for the perchlorate rule. These authorized entities are responsible for overseeing the perchlorate rule implementation by certain PWSs within their jurisdiction. States would utilize these data to determine compliance. The collected information is also necessary for PWSs. PWSs would use these data to demonstrate compliance, communicate water quality information to consumers served by the water system and, if needed, assess treatment options, and operate and maintain installed treatment equipment. States would also be required to report a subset of these data to the EPA. The EPA would utilize the information to protect public health by ensuring compliance with the perchlorate rule, measuring progress toward meeting the perchlorate rule’s goals, and evaluating the appropriateness of State implementation activities.

Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Alien Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection was originally approved under emergency approval for six months, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13, because it is essential to the mission of the agency; the use of normal clearance procedures was reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information; and public harm was reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures were followed. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to license them and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network. This request is to continue data collection for all forms under this OMB number, including those approved under emergency approval. Minor revisions are proposed to a subset of the currently approved forms. Supporting Statement A sections A1, A2, A12 and A14 have been updated accordingly, and the proposed changes are described in section A15. ORR requests approval for a period of one year, during which time a more extensive revision request—with proposed revisions for all forms in this collection—will be finalized and submitted under normal Paperwork Reduction Act procedures.

Toxic Chemical Release Reporting (Non-substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), certain facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use specified toxic chemicals in amounts above reporting threshold levels as provided in 40 CFR 372.25 must submit annually to EPA and to their designated state or Indian country officials toxic chemical release forms containing information specified by EPA; (see 42 U.S.C. 11023). In addition, pursuant to section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), facilities reporting under section 313 of EPCRA must also report pollution prevention and waste management data, including recycling information, for such chemicals; (see 42 U.S.C. 13106). EPA compiles and stores these reports in a publicly accessible database known as the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Regulations at 40 CFR part 372, subpart B, require facilities that meet the above criteria to report annually. This ICR consolidates the following final rule ICRs titled Rule-Related ICR Amendment; Changes to Reporting Requirements for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances; Community Right-to-Know Toxic Chemical Release Reporting, Final Rule (RIN 2070-AK97) (OMB Control No. 2070-0225; EPA ICR No. 2724.02), Addition of Natural Gas Processing Facilities to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0206; EPA ICR No. 2560.02); and Parent Company Definition for TRI Reporting (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0216; EPA ICR No. 2597.02) into this renewal ICR. Upon OMB approval of this ICR, EPA intends to discontinue OMB Control Nos. 2070-0225, 2070-0206, and 2070-0216.

NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart L) (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The EPA promulgated the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category (40 CFR part 60, subpart L) on March 8, 1974. Subpart L as promulgated in 1974 regulates particulate matter (PM) emissions from blast and reverberatory furnaces and also specifies limits for visible emissions (opacity) for blast, reverberatory, and pot (refining) furnaces. The EPA amended Subpart L on October 10, 1975, to remove a provision providing that the failure to meet the NSPS emissions limits due to the presence of uncombined water in the stack gases was not considered a violation. Currently, there are 11 secondary lead smelting facilities in the United States and each facility operates furnaces that are subject to the PM and opacity limits specified in Subpart L. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA to review the NSPS at least every 8 years and to revise the standards of performance that are applicable to new, modified, and reconstructed sources, if appropriate, to reflect the best system of emissions reduction (BSER), accounting for the cost, environmental, and energy impacts associated with achieving the reduction. Based on the CAA Section 111 review of the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category, in the recent 2022 action the EPA proposed updates to Subpart L including revisions to the applicability dates and proposed revisions to the definitions of blast furnace, reverberatory furnace, and pot furnace to more closely align with the equipment definitions used in the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for secondary lead smelting (40 CFR part 63, Subpart X). Additionally, the EPA proposed requirements for periodic performance tests for PM and incorporated the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, including electronic reporting of performance tests, specified in NESHAP Subpart X to improve the consistency between the NSPS and NESHAP for secondary lead smelting facilities. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart L. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

NESHAP for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC) were proposed on July 3, 2001 (66 FR 35325), promulgated on April 14, 2003 (68 FR 18007), and most-recently amended on August 2, 2005 (70 FR 44285). These regulations apply to pushing, soaking, quenching, and battery stacks on both existing and new coke oven batteries (coke plants) that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. The final RTR amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement; add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; add requirements for the control of mercury (Hg), total acid gases (hydrogen fluoride plus hydrogen chloride) (AG), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from pushing sources; Hg, particulate matter (PM), total AG, and HCN from battery stacks; Hg, PM, AG, total PAH from HRSG main stacks; and Hg PM, total AG, total PAH, and formaldehyde from HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks; and make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged.

Essential Community Provider Data Collection to Support QHP Certification (CMS-10561)

Key Information

Abstract

For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to collect more complete provider data for inclusion on the HHS Essential Community Provider (ECP) list to ensure a more accurate reflection of the universe of qualified available ECPs in a given service area that can be counted toward an issuer's satisfaction of the ECP standard. The HHS will collect data on qualified and available ECPs from providers. Providers will submit an ECP petition to be added to the HHS ECP list or provide required missing data fields to remain on the list. The degree of provider participation in this data collection effort through the ECP provider petition will help inform HHS's future proposals for counting issuers' ECP write-ins toward satisfaction of the ECP standard.
