Application for Employment with the Federal Aviation Administration

Key Information

Abstract

Applicants interested in applying for jobs with the FAA voluntarily complete the online Web based application (USAJOBS/AVIATOR) process. The information is reported on occasion. AVIATOR facilitates the FAA hiring process with instant certification of qualified candidates for employment. It allows simultaneous online application submittal; screening and testing; scoring and notification; eligibility list placement; and referral for interview. Once applicants electronic application form is complete and the job announcement date expires, FAA AHR performs its Qualification Reviews process. The data gathered from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Application for Employment is analyzed and evaluated by AHR specialists to identify applicants with required qualifications for a variety of positions within the FAA. While the FAA is exempt from provisions relating to normal competitive examination processing within Title 5, USC, Sections 3302-3305, this process enables the FAA to establish a selection pool of best-qualified candidates to fulfill its many critical safety-related jobs.

Personnel Questionnaire - Alcohol and Tobacco Products

Key Information

Abstract

Provisions of chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapters 51 and 52) and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act; 27 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) require all persons who desire to engage in certain alcohol and tobacco activities to obtain a permit or registration from, or file a notice with, the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) before beginning operations. The IRC and FAA Act also provide that an applicant is not eligible for such approvals if the Secretary finds that the applicant, including company officers, directors, or principal investors, has certain criminal convictions or is not likely to lawfully operate. Under its delegated IRC and FAA Act authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I authorize the collection of information from applicants so that TTB can determine if they meet the statutory and regulatory qualifications to hold alcohol and tobacco permits, registrations, or notices. To assist TTB in making such determinations, applicants use form TTB F 5000.9, Personnel Questionnaire—Alcohol and Tobacco, or its electronic equivalent, to provide TTB with information regarding their identity, business history, and criminal record.

49 USC Section 5310-Capital Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities & Section 5311-Nonurbanized Area Formula Program

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection (IC) request is for an extension without change of a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0500 “49 USC Section 5310-Capital Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and Persons w/Disabilities & Section 5311-Nonurbanized Area Formula Program.” There are no programmatic changes to this information collection from the 2023 renewal. The only major change in cost of this IC is related to the updated labor rates for both respondents and federal employees and contractors. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is required to obtain to federal assistance to states, local governments, private nonprofit agencies, and public bodies through the Section 5310 and 5311 programs. The 5310 program provides private nonprofit groups funding to meet transportation needs of older adults and people with disabilities when the transportation service provided is unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate in rural and small urban areas. The 5311 program provides capital, planning, and operating assistance to states to support public transportation in rural areas with populations of less than 50,000, where many residents often rely on public transit to reach their destinations. Eligible recipients include states and federally recognized Indian Tribes. Sub-recipients may include state or local government authorities, nonprofit organizations, and operators of public transportation or intercity bus service. Since States administer many of these programs they submit consolidated annual applications and milestone/financial reports to FTA on behalf of the sub recipients. The information reported includes project budget, description of the project, implementation plans, management plans, financial reports and progress reports. Sub-recipients typically do not report any information directly to FTA but are required by the State or designated recipient to provide sufficient information for reporting purposes.

National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is an extension without change of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0579 “National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.” This submission includes an overall increase in total burden hours, despite a decrease in the total number of respondents, is attributed to a corresponding increase in the total number of responses. This is not a result of any action by FTA or change in statuary requirements. This change is driven by the respondent universe with an increase in the number of Tier II providers who are now submitting individual plans. This indicates a shift in reporting, suggesting either the presence of new reporters or former participants in a Group TAM Plan who are now reporting individually. The entities that must respond are Tier I (large transit agencies) and Tier II (small transit agencies). Tier I providers are recipients that own, operate, or manage either 1-101 or more vehicles in revenue service during peak regular service across all fixed route modes or in any one non-fixed route mode, or operate rail transit. Tier II providers are entities that 1.) operate 1-100 or fewer vehicles in revenue service during peak regular service across all non-rail fixed route modes or in any one non-fixed route mode, 2.) a sub recipient under the 5311 Rural Area Formula Program, or 3.) are considered an American Indian tribe. Both of these respondents were included in the initial IC submission in 2016. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as all recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53 funds that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital assets must develop TAM plans. This information collection is to be maintained on a yearly basis and submitted every four years. That data is submitted to FTA during the submission of their performance measures and targets electronically into the National Transit Database.

Application for Supplemental Security Income

Key Information

Abstract

SSA provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to members of the public who meet the required eligibility criteria and who file the prescribed application. SSA uses Form SSA 8001 BK, Application for SSI (Deferred or Abbreviated), to collect information from respondents to either: (1) provide a formal determination of ineligibility based on non-medical reasons only, or (2) document allegations of potential eligibility prior to requesting a medical determination from the state disability determination services (DDS) while deferring the collection of additional information until after the DDS approves a medical determination. Respondents apply for SSI using the deferred application through one of three modalities: (1) a paper application for both adult and child claims (Form SSA-8001), which the public can access as a fillable PDF from our website and submit through SSA’s Upload Documents Portal (OMB Control No. 0960-0830); (2) a field office interview (in person or over the phone), during which an SSA employee enters applicant data directly into the Consolidated Claim Experience (CCE) and Intranet SSI Claims System screens; or (3) the iSSI Internet application, basic eligibility questions (within the Internet Claims (iClaim site)). SSI applicants can also use a simplified online hybrid approach that streamlines and simplifies the online application form and the modalities we offer across other service channels (i.e., phone and in-person interviews). In this hybrid approach, we (1) capture the claimant’s basic eligibility with a simplified application, and (2) use a technician supported experience to develop additional information as necessary to make an initial determination. This second step only happens after we provide medical approval and identify the specific additional information needed. This approach strikes a balance between improving the applicant’s filing experience and collecting all necessary information to make eligibility determinations. SSA uses the information we gather on the SSA-8001, deferred SSI Application, to: (1) formally deny SSI for nonmedical reasons when information the applicant provides results in ineligibility; or (2) establish a disability claim but defer the evidence development of non-medical issues until SSA approves the disability. The respondents are individuals who are applying for SSI and are either clearly ineligible or, disabled or blind, or are the third parties who aid these individuals in applying for SSI.

Monthly SSI Wage Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

SSA requires Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries or their representative payees to report changes when beneficiaries return to work, when their amount of work increases, or when their earnings increase. Similarly, SSA requires recipients of SSI, their deemors, and representative payees to report changes in work and monthly wages. SSA allows SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, deemors, and representative payees to report earnings via electronic means, though the methods available depend on the type of benefits received. SSDI users may report wages using an internet reporting system called myWageReport. myWageReport is a secure internet reporting tool within the mySSA portal that enables SSDI beneficiaries to submit pay stub information to SSA. In addition to myWageReport, SSI users have two other electronic options, the SSA Mobile Wage Reporting application (SSAMWR) and the SSI Telephone Wage Reporting System (SSITWR). The SSITWR allows callers to report their wages by speaking their responses through voice recognition technology, or by keying in responses using a telephone key pad. The SSAMWR allows recipients to report their wages through the mobile wage reporting application on their smartphone. SSITWR and SSAMWR systems collect the same information and send it to SSA over secure channels. To ensure the security of the information provided, SSITWR and SSAMWR ask respondents to provide information SSA can compare against our records for authentication purposes. Once the system authenticates the identity of the respondents, they can report their wage data. The respondents are SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, SSI deemors, or representative payees.
