Data Security Requirements for Accessing Confidential Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (44 U.S.C. 3583) mandates that the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) establish a standard application process (SAP) for requesting access to certain confidential data assets. While the adoption of the SAP is required for statistical agencies and units designated under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2018 (CIPSEA), it is recognized that other agencies and organizational units within the Executive Branch may benefit from the adoption of the SAP to accept applications for access to confidential data assets. The SAP is to be a process through which agencies, the Congressional Budget Office, State, local, and Tribal governments, researchers, and other individuals, as appropriate, may apply to access confidential data assets held by a federal statistical agency or unit for the purposes of developing evidence. With the Interagency Council on Statistical Policy (ICSP) as advisors, the entities upon whom this requirement is levied are working with the SAP Project Management Office (PMO) and with OMB to implement the SAP. The SAP Portal is to be a single web-based common application designed to collect information from individuals requesting access to confidential data assets from federal statistical agencies and units. In late 2022, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), in its role as the SAP PMO, published a 60-day Federal Register Notice (87 FR 53793) and 30-day Federal Register Notice (87 FR 66754) announcing plans to collect information through the SAP Portal. This collection request was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget as a Common Form in late 2022; the OMB control number for SAP Portal information collection is 3145-0271 and the expiration date is 12/31/2025. When an application for confidential data is approved through the SAP Portal, BTS will collect information to fulfill its data security requirements. This is a required step before providing the individual with access to confidential microdata for the purpose of evidence building. BTS’s data security agreements and other paperwork, along with the corresponding security protocols, allow BTS to maintain careful controls on confidentiality and privacy, as required by law. This collection will occur outside of the SAP Portal. This submission requests approval to collect information from individuals to fulfill BTS’s data security requirements. This request is from BTS within the Department of Transportation.

Qualification Information for Candidates to Advisory Committees and Subcommittees

Key Information

Abstract

The collection of information is necessary to support the CFTC Advisory Committee Program which includes committees, most of which are governed by the FACA, and subcommittees that report directly to the CFTC FACA committees. Pursuant to the FACA, an agency must ensure that a committee is balanced with respect to the viewpoints represented and the functions to be performed by that committee. Consistent with this, in order to select individuals for potential membership on an advisory committee, the CFTC must determine that potential members are qualified to serve on an advisory committee and that the viewpoints are properly balanced on the committee. The CFTC is also required to ensure that committee members are properly designated as special government employees or representatives. While CFTC subcommittees are not subject to the FACA, the selection process for subcommittee members who are not already serving on the parent committee is similar to that of new committee members. Additionally, the agency follows similar member selection procedures for the agency’s non-FACA committee. CFTC staff would use the information collected to determine the experience and expertise of potential advisory committee and subcommittee members, ensure that the membership on a committee or subcommittee is balanced, and ensure that committee and subcommittee members are properly designated as representatives or special government employees. Respondents would consist of current and potential advisory committee and subcommittee members.

Update the National Review of Quick Clearance Laws

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is for states to voluntarily provide any move over/quick clearance laws update. The eligible respondents to this voluntary survey include 50 State DOTs, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, United States. The collection is via email survey, with data collected as needed. Prior information collection was via a website literature review that resulted in the 2008 Traffic Incident Management Quick Clearance Laws publication. The objective of this outreach effort is to develop a Quick Clearance Laws State of the Practice Report. The intent is to provide awareness and knowledge of current State Quick Clearance Laws through outreach and encourage states to establish them. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Incident Management (TIM) programs aim to reduce the duration and impact of incidents on congestion and improve safety for motorists, crash victims, and incident responders through safe quick clearance practices. Additionally, TIM prioritizes effective mitigation practices to return roadways back to normal flow of traffic. Once published the information would be available to the state DOTs, public and other interested parties via the FHWA website.

Information collections contained in Reforming and Modernizing the NRC’s Radiation Protection Framework proposed rule, 10 CFR Parts 20, 34, 35, 50, 53, and 72

Key Information

Abstract

The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations that govern its standards for protection against radiation. The revisions reflect the agency’s reconsideration of its use of the LNT model for assessing health effects from radiation exposure and its application of the ALARA principle that is predicated on the LNT model. The proposed rule would reflect the NRC’s experience and other developments in the field of radiation protection since the NRC’s last major revisions to these standards in 1991. The proposed rule covers diverse topics, which result in recordkeeping and reporting requirements related to instruction to workers, radiation protection requirements, industrial radiography, medical use of byproduct material, source material licensing, and storage and transportation of radioactive material. In addition to the new information collections in the proposed regulations, this proposed rule would result in amended requirements for NRC Forms 540/540A, 541/541A, and 542/542A. These forms are used on a nationwide basis to reflect the minimum safety-related information for a low-level radioactive waste shipment as required by Federal and State reporting requirements for the safe transportation and disposal of low-level radioactive waste. The rulemaking would not make any changes to the forms themselves. The rulemaking would make the use of the forms optional as long as respondents provide the same information as required in the forms using a different format.

FERC-725X, (RD25-10) Mandatory Reliability Standards: Voltage and Reactive (VAR) Standards

Key Information

Abstract

NERC established the Voltage and Reactive (“VAR”) group of Reliability Standards, which consists of two continent-wide Reliability Standards, VAR-001-5 and VAR-002-4.1. These two standards were designed to maintain voltage stability on the Bulk-Power System, protect transmission, generation, distribution, and customer equipment, and support the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System. Voltage stability is the ability of a power system to maintain acceptable voltage levels throughout the system under normal operating conditions and following a disturbance. Failure to maintain acceptable voltage levels (i.e., voltage levels become too high or too low) may cause violations of System Operating Limits (“SOLs”) and Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits (“IROLs”), resulting in damage to Bulk-Power System equipment, and thereby threaten the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System.

Comptroller's Licensing Manual

Key Information

Abstract

The Comptroller's Licensing Manual (Manual) explains the OCC's policies and procedures for the formation of a new national bank or Federal savings association, entry into the banking system by other institutions, and corporate expansion and structural changes by existing national banks and Federal savings associations. This ICR is being filed in connection with an OCC issued final rule that amended its rules related to policies and procedures to simplify licensing requirements for corporate activities and transactions involving national banks and Federal savings associations that have less than $30 billion in total assets and satisfy certain conditions. The final rule is intended to reduce burden on these institutions. In particular, the final rule established a new definition of “covered community bank or covered community savings association” and amended various provisions of 12 CFR part 5 to grant expedited or reduced filing procedures already present in the regulations to covered community banks and covered community savings associations. The final rule does not relax the standards used to determine whether an application would be approved but expand the availability of the existing expedited or reduced filing procedures.

Information Collections contained in Modernizing Reactor Licensing, Safety, Oversight, and Siting Practices- Proposed Rule 10 CFR Parts 50, 52, 53, 54, 71, 100, and Section 50.55a

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE: Information collections contained in Modernizing Reactor Licensing, Safety, Oversight, and Siting Practices- Proposed Rule 10 CFR Parts 50, 52, 53, 54, 71, 100, and Section 50.55a The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to modernize reactor licensing, safety oversight, and siting practices. The proposed rule introduces voluntary risk-informed and performance-based alternatives, updates EP requirements, streamlines quality assurance criteria through a new appendix T to 10 CFR part 50, and revises siting criteria to incorporate risk insights. These changes affect information collections associated with license applications, license amendment requests, periodic reporting, and recordkeeping. New collections include ECCS evaluation model reporting and monitoring under 10 CFR 50.46a, QMS change approvals under 10 CFR 50.54(a)(5), 50.55(f)(5), and 53.1565, and EP framework transition requests under 10 CFR 50.160. The proposed rule also reduces burden by eliminating duplicative requirements, such as prescriptive EP content in CP applications and ESP renewal provisions, and by simplifying seismic/geologic siting criteria under 10 CFR part 100. Overall, the proposed rule results in a net increase in burden due to additional technical analyses and documentation required for voluntary alternatives, balanced by targeted reductions from modernization and streamlining initiatives. This proposed action includes amendments to several requirements in 10 CFR Section 50.55a and parts 50, 52, 53, 54, 71, and 100. The proposed changes to 10 CFR parts 2 and 51 do not contain any new or amended collections of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This proposed rule is part of the NRC’s rulemaking efforts under EO 14300. Although the rule affects existing information collections, the current submission requests a new, temporary clearance number. After the final rule is published, the associated burden will be transferred to their respective existing clearance numbers and this clearance will be discontinued. NOTE: Because this rule results in a net burden reduction, the data fields in the submission reflect a nominal entry of 1 hour and 1 response. Please refer to the supporting statement and burden tables for the actual burden estimates.
