Pipeline Integrity Management in High Consequence Areas Gas Transmission Pipeline Operators

Key Information

Abstract

This mandatory information collection request pertains to gas transmission operators jurisdictional to 49 CFR Part 192 Subpart O -Gas Transmission Integrity Management Program. The information collection requires gas transmission operators in high consequence areas to maintain a written integrity management program and keep records that demonstrate compliance with 49 CFR Part 192 Subpart O. Operators must maintain their integrity management records for the life of the pipeline, and PHMSA or State regulators may review it as a part of inspections. Gas transmission operators are also required to report to PHMSA certain actions related to their integrity management program. This information collection supports the DOT strategic goal of safety by reducing the number of incidents in natural gas transmission pipelines.

Railroad Police Officers

Key Information

Abstract

Title 49 CFR part 207 requires railroads to notify States of all designated police officers who perform duties in their respective jurisdictions who were commissioned as police officers by another State or States. This is necessary to verify proper police authority. In addition, if a railroad or police officer certified or commissioned as a police officer under the laws of a State or jurisdiction transfers primary employment or residence from the certifying or commissioning State to another one, the railroad police officer must apply to be certified or commissioned as a police officer under the laws of the State of new primary employment or residence not later than one year after the date of transfer. The information collected under the current rule is used by the States and collected as needed. There is a requirement for reporting and recordkeeping. FRA does not make use of the information because the information is not required to be provided or intended to be provided to the agency. Rather, the information is provided to state authorities as a method of implementing the Crime Control Act of 1990.

Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Assessment Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

Operators of Hazardous Liquid Pipelines are required to document the continual assessment and evaluation of their pipelines’ integrity through inspection or testing, as well as remedial preventive, and mitigative actions. PHMSA proposes to modify this collection to include new notification and recordkeeping provisions from the Pipeline Safety: Repair Criteria NPRM. Under the proposal, hazardous liquid operators would be required to notify PHMSA in advance of using an alternative sampling approach in accordance with § 195.18(a) and (b) and operators who perform an Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) for dents would be required to submit their ECA procedures to PHMSA through the notification and no-objection process outlined in § 195.18(c). This mandatory record keeping requirement supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “SAFETY STRATEGIC GOAL” which targets three main strategic initiatives: managing risk and integrity, sharing responsibility, and providing effective stewardship. This goal enhances public health and safety by working toward the elimination of transportation-related deaths and injuries. This information is used by PHMSA to determine compliance with Federal pipeline safety regulations and is also used by Agency and State Officials to assist Federal and State pipeline safety inspectors who audit this information when they conduct compliance inspections and to provide background for failure investigations.

Grade Crossing Signal System Safety

Key Information

Abstract

FRA believes that highway-rail grade crossing (grade crossing) accidents resulting from warning system failures can be reduced. To ensure safety, railroads are required to take certain actions when they are notified of an activation failure. These required actions are set forth in 49 CFR part 234. An activation failure is defined as the failure of a grade crossing warning system to indicate the approach of a train at least 20 seconds prior to the train’s arrival at the crossing or to indicate the presence of a train occupying the crossing. Specifically, railroads must report to FRA every impact between on-track railroad equipment and an automobile, bus, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, farm vehicle, or pedestrian at a highway-rail grade crossing involving an activation failure. Notification must be provided to the National Response Center (NRC) within 24 hours of occurrence at the stipulated toll-free telephone number. In addition, railroads must report to FRA each activation failure of a highway-rail grade warning system within 15 days. Form FRA F 6180.83, “Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Warning System Activation Failure Report,” must be used for this purpose and completed using the instructions printed on the form. With this information, FRA can identify the causes of activation failures and investigate them to determine whether periodic maintenance, inspection, and testing standards are effective. This information collection is mandatory, collected as needed, and there is a reporting and recordkeeping requirement.

Income Driven Repayment Plan Request for the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans and Federal Family Education Loan Programs

Key Information

Abstract

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed into law on July 4, 2025, made statutory changes to Sections 455(a), 455(d), 455(e), 455(g), and 455(q) that impact borrower eligibility, terms and conditions, and borrowers’ rights and responsibilities for Direct Loans received on or after July 1, 2026. Additionally, previous provisions regulated in 34 C.F.R. 685.209 effective July 1, 2024, were invalidated as a result of court actions on March 10, 2026. Section 493C of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA), authorizes the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan for borrowers who obtain student loans through the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program. Section 455(e) of the HEA describes income-contingent repayment plans for borrowers who obtain student loans through the Direct Loan Program. Section 455(q) of the HEA describes the Repayment Assistance Plan for borrowers who obtain student loans through the Direct Loan Program. These plans are collectively referred to as income driven repayment (IDR) plans and the regulations that govern them are in 34 CFR 682.215 (for FFEL Program loans) and 685.209 (for Direct Loans). There are three income-contingent repayment plans: the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan (formerly REPAYE), Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Plan, and the Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) Plan. The court action effective March 10, 2026 invalidates the SAVE Plan and the OBBBA requires the remaining income-contingent plans be sunset by July 1, 2028. The Department is updating the currently approved IDR Request Form that is used by a borrower to enroll, recertify, or change their IDR plan to support the provisions identified by the OBBBA and court action. Specifically, the form is being updated to add the Repayment Assistance Plan as an option for borrowers to select and revising the questions related to family size to accurately gather the borrower’s number of dependents—a component unique to the Repayment Assistance Plan. Additionally, the form explains the terms of the Repayment Assistance Plan and provides notice that the PAYE and ICR plans will be sunset in 2028 (the SAVE Plan was removed in a previous version of the form as a result of a court injunction). Additional updates to improve clarity and the borrower experience as a result of these changes have also been made.

Deployment of Text-to-911

Key Information

Abstract

This collection concerns the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) text-to-911 Registration Form, which allows PSAPs to request text-to-911 and real-time-text (RTT) service. Pursuant to the Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, (rel. Dec. 16, 2016,) in CG Docket No. 16-145 and GN Docket No. 15-178, the Commission amended its rules to facilitate a transition from text telephone (TTY) technology to RTT. The Report and Order builds on the framework established in 2014. In the Second Report and Order, PS Docket Nos. 11-153 and 10-255, FCC 14-118, the Commission amended its Part 20 rules to codify the obligation of Commercial Mobile Radio Service providers and providers of interconnected text messaging applications (collectively, covered text providers) to route all 911 text messages to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). The required information collection assists the FCC in obtaining information from PSAPs that they are technically ready to receive 911 text messages so that covered text providers will have sufficient notice to implement text-to-911 as required. The information collection also includes third party notifications necessary to ensure that consumers, covered text providers, and PSAPs are aware of the limitations, capabilities, and status of text-to-911 service.

Pribilof Islands: Administration and Taking for Subsistence Purposes

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for revision and extension of collection of information control number 0648-0699. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) proposes to revise this information collection pursuant to interim final rule 0648-BN39 which would allow landowners to apply for an exception under 50 CFR 216.82 to bring an independently certified rodent detection dog to the Pribilof Islands to detect and prevent the establishment of invasive rodents. A proposed rulemaking requesting public comments was published on December 11, 2025 (90 FR 57442). Due to an administrative error, NOAA did not submit a revision package at that time. NMFS regulations for the subsistence use of northern fur seals under the Fur Seal Act (FSA) requires Alaska Native residents of the Pribilof Islands to report their subsistence need and their actual subsistence take of northern fur seals. The current collection of information allows the NMFS to confirm the annual subsistence use of northern fur seals is consistent with subsistence use quotas established in 2014 and 2019.

Safety Standard for Adult Portable Bed Rails

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) published in the Federal Register (88 FR 46958) the Safety Standard for Adult Portable Bed Rails (Standard), a final rule that establishes a mandatory safety standard for adult portable bed rails (APBRs), intended to address the unreasonable risk of injury and death associated with entrapment and other hazards from APBRs. The mandatory safety standard incorporates by reference ASTM F3186-17, Standard Specification for Adult Portable Bed Rails and Related Products, with modifications, and the requirements are codified at 16 CFR part 1270. This rulemaking is authorized by the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 2051 – 2084. CPSC data show that 90% of injuries associated with adult portable bed rails are from entrapment of the head, chest or neck. Since 2021, CPSC has recalled more than 3 million adult portable bed rails through nine recalls and safety warning notices. At least 18 entrapment deaths are associated with the recalled bed rails. Sections 9 and 11 of ASTM F3186-17 contain requirements for labels, warnings, and instructional literature. The Standard includes minor modifications to these requirements. These are information collection requirements that are subject to public comment and review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA; 44 U.S.C. § 3501–3521).

The USMCA Automotive Rules of Origin Motor Vehicle Producer Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission) is conducting a factfinding investigation (Inv. No. 332-608) to analyze the impacts of the automotive rules of origin (ROOs) in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), including their impact on the U.S. economy, effects on the competitiveness of the U.S. automotive industry, and the relevancy of the ROOs in light of technological changes.

West Coast Region Pacific Tuna Fisheries Logbook, Fish Aggregating Device Form, and Observer Safety Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved collection of information. The revisions are a result of a final rule (RIN: 0648-B029) under the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended, to implement resolutions adopted at the 103rd Meeting of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in September 2025. These Resolutions include C-25-01 (Conservation Measures for Tropical Tunas in the Eastern Pacific Ocean During 2026 and 2027-2028) and C-25-07 (Amends and Replaces Resolution C-24-06 on Fish-Aggregating Devices). The final rule also implements several provisions of Resolution C-19-04 (Resolution to Mitigate Impacts on Sea Turtles) that were not previously implemented. The final rule modifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements for fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) to provide an alternative to current paper FAD recovery reporting forms and allow vessel owners and operators to directly enter FAD recovery data into the IATTC’s online FAD Recovery database to fulfill reporting requirements. Furthermore, for reporting on Active FADs, it adds a data field to report whether the echosounder is on or off. Additionally, the final rule includes data collection requirements for U.S. purse seine vessel owners and operators to report information on minimum data fields (e.g., species ID, size, release condition) for reporting sea turtle interactions that are not already collected and submitted to the IATTC by an observer onboard the vessel.

FERC-3-Q, Quarterly Financial Report of Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Natural Gas Companies

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) requests the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review the proposed changes to 3-Q (electric and gas) as part of the NOPR RM26-12-000. The Commission conducted a comprehensive review of the information collected in the quarterly financial forms and proposes to delete a total of 20 schedules from FERC Form No. 3-Q across both Electric (17 schedules) and Gas (3 schedules). In this NOPR, the Commission seeks comment on whether the data reported on the indicated schedules is helpful to the public and, if so, how this data is used. The Commission also seeks comment on whether there may be a better way for the public to access the data in these 20 schedules, rather than through the quarterly financial forms. In accordance with sections 304(a) and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and sections 10(a) and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), FERC is authorized to collect and record data to the extent it considers necessary, and to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records, and memoranda. Under the existing regulations, FERC jurisdictional entities subject to its Uniform System of Accounts (USofA) must annually file a complete set of financial statements with the Commission, along with other selected financial and non-financial data through the submission of FERC Form Nos. 1 and 1-F and must file this information quarterly through the submission of FERC Form No. 3-Q.

FERC Form No. 6-Q, Quarterly Report of Oil Pipeline Companies

Key Information

Abstract

The Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) authorizes the Commission to make investigations, collect, and record data in order to carry out certain necessary and useful provisions. The information collected from oil pipeline companies under the requirements of the FERC Form No. 6-Q provide the Commission the ability to implement the statutory provisions of the ICA including the authority to prescribe rules, regulations concerning accounts, records, memoranda as necessary. The ICA also allows the Commission to prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional companies and (after notice) and opportunity for hearing to determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts can be entered, charged, or credited. The financial accounting and reporting provides needed information concerning a FERC Form No. 6-Q company’s past performance and its future prospects. Without reliable financial statements (prepared in accordance with the Commission’s Uniform Systems of Accounts), the Commission would be unable to accurately determine the costs that related to a particular time period, service, or line of business. Additionally, it would be more difficult for the Commission to determine if a certain entity was previously provided the opportunity to recover its costs via rates or to compare how the financial performance of one regulated entity relates to another. The FERC Form No. 6-Q assists the Commission in overseeing and policing the regulated oil pipeline markets to assist in enforcing the ICA. The Commission proposes to clarify that small oil pipeline companies with annual jurisdictional operating revenues of less than $500,000 and that do not file an annual FERC Form No. 6 are exempt from reporting FERC Form No. 6-Q. This proposed clarification would confirm that the second and third reporting tiers do not file FERC Form No. 6-Q. In addition, the Commission conducted a comprehensive review of the information collected in FERC Form No. 6-Q and proposes to delete three schedules from that form. In this NOPR, the Commission seeks comment on whether the data reported on the indicated schedules is helpful to the public and, if so, how this data is used. The Commission also seeks comment on whether there may be a better way for the public to access the data rather than through the quarterly financial forms. The Commission also proposes to update the general filing instructions and certain schedule instructions to reflect current reporting requirements and correct discrepancies.

Wage Mariner Hiring Portal

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for extension of an existing information collection. There are no changes to this collection. NOAA is home to the nation’s largest fleet of oceanographic research ships. With 15 ships in our fleet, OMAO operates worldwide to support diverse information programs, environmental stewardship services, and applied scientific research. The Wage Mariner Hiring Portal (WMHP) is an internet-based system (web site) that is designed to allow an applicant to apply for a “wage mariner” position within the NOAA fleet of maritime vessels. The WMHP system collects basic user information, wage mariner licensing, certifications, and relevant current and or past work history. The regulations allow OMAO to hire wage mariners into excepted service positions within the NOAA fleet of ocean-going vessels in order to maintain adequate operations, maintenance, and safe staffing of the maritime ships.

William D Ford Federal Direct Loan Program Repayment Plan Selection Form

Key Information

Abstract

The Fixed Payment Repayment Plan Request form serves as the means by which Direct Loan borrowers notify the Department of their choice of an initial fixed payment repayment plan as described in 34 CFR 685.208 before their loans enter repayment. The form may also be used by borrowers to request a change to one of these plans after their loans have entered repayment. If a borrower does not select an initial repayment plan, the borrower is placed on the Standard Repayment Plan or the Tiered Standard Repayment Plan in accordance with 34 CFR 685.210(a)(2). The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed into law on July 4, 2025, made statutory changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended (the HEA) regarding Direct Loans that impact regulatory requirements related to this information collection. This is a request for a revision of the current information collection to include the new regulatory requirements in order to comply with the OBBBA.

Request for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments or Apparatus

Key Information

Abstract

The Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security (``DHS'') are required to determine whether nonprofit institutions established for scientific or educational purposes are entitled to duty-free entry for scientific instruments the institutions import under the Florence Agreement. Form ITA-338P enables: (1) DHS to determine whether the statutory eligibility requirements for the institution and the instrument are fulfilled, and (2) Commerce to make a comparison and finding as to the scientific equivalency of comparable instruments being manufactured in the United States. Without the collection of the information, DHS and Commerce would not have the necessary information to carry out the responsibilities of determining eligibility for duty-free entry assigned by law.
