National Compensation Survey

Key Information

Abstract

Under the National Compensation Survey (NCS), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) currently uses the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and Occupational Employment Statistics (OEWS) to provide grade and local wage data required by the President's Pay Agent to comply with the requirements of the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 (FEPCA). The President's Pay Agent uses these data to recommend pay increases for Federal General Schedule workers; NCS data produces the Employment Cost Index which is designated a Principal Federal Economic Indicator under OMB Statistical Policy Directive No. 3. NCS data is used to produce the ECI, the Employer Cost for Employee Compensation (ECEC) and data for the President's Pay Agent.

Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT)

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing a web-based tool, Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT), to assist aircraft operators in achieving compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR §§ 91.103, 91.225, and 91.227. Depending on the specific nature of the operator’s request, varying levels of information are necessary for the FAA to process the requests made via this tool. The SAPT has three main tools: Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) SAPT, Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) SAPT, and ADS-B Deviation Authorization Pre-Flight Tool (ADAPT). The SAPT user may have to use one or more of these tools depending upon the nature of their request. The SAPT continually collects Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation status (e.g., GPS almanacs) and FAA surveillance status data (e.g., surveillance radars (SSR) and wide area multilateration (WAM)) in order to assess the accuracy and integrity of GPS, FAA backup surveillance availability, and other data in real time. This information is used to determine navigation or to support air traffic control services in terminal, en route airspace, and in airport surface operations. SAPT models the GPS system and matches it with certain specified GPS avionics performance characteristics to determine if there is sufficient position information predicted throughout the flight to use for navigation or surveillance.

Rule 22c-1 (17 CFR 270.22c-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Pricing of redeemable securities for distribution, redemption and repurchase

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 22c-1 (17 CFR 270.22c-1) permits a registered open-end investment company (but not a registered investment company that is regulated as a money market fund, and not including an exchange-traded fund) to use "swing pricing," the process of adjusting a fund's current net asset value per share to mitigate dilution of the value of its outstanding redeemable securities as a result of shareholder purchase and redemption activity, under certain circumstances. Rule 22c 1(a)(3) requires a fund that chooses to use swing pricing to adopt swing pricing policies and procedures that include certain elements and are approved by the fund’s board of directors, and to maintain certain records, including written copies of the fund’s swing pricing policies and procedures, the periodic report provided to the board, and records of support for each computation of an adjustment to the fund’s NAV based on the fund’s swing pricing policies and procedures. The information collections assist the Commission’s examination staff to ascertain whether a fund that has adopted swing pricing policies and procedures has done so in compliance with the requirements of rule 22c 1(a)(3).

Rule 17Ad-10: Accurate Creation and Maintenance of Securityholder Files (17 CFR 240.17Ad-10)

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 17Ad-10 (17 CFR 240.17Ad-10), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, requires a registered transfer agent to create and maintain minimum information on securityholders' ownership of an issue of securities for which it performs transfer agent functions, including the purchase, transfer and redemption of securities. In addition, the rule requires transfer agents that maintain securityholder records to keep certificate detail that has been deleted from those records for a minimum of six years and to maintain and keep current an accurate record of the number of shares or the principle dollar amount of debt securities that the issuer has authorized to be outstanding (a control book). These recordkeeping requirements assist in the creation and maintenance of accurate securityholder records, the ability to research errors, and ensure the transfer agent is aware of the number of securities that are properly authorized by the issuer, thereby avoiding over-issuance. Transfer agents are required to establish written standards for the acceptance or rejection of guarantees of securities transfers from eligible guarantor institutions. Transfer agents are also required to establish procedures, including written guidelines where appropriate, to ensure that those standards are used in determining whether to accept or reject guarantees from eligible guarantor institutions.

Pilot Medical Disclosure Decision Making Model for Safety Risk Assessment Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Aerospace Medicine (AVS/AAM) is developing a pilot medical disclosure decision making model in to support current and future safety risk assessments. Following the Mental Health Aviation Rulemaking Committee's recommendation, AVS/AAM and the Office of Safety Standards (AFS) conducted a joint safety risk assessment on pilot medical non-disclosure. The assessment identified the need for a validated model of pilot medical disclosure decision-making to better estimate safety risks. A one-time, voluntary online survey will be administered using the Qualtrics platform. The survey includes 67 items and is expected to take up to 15 minutes to complete. All responses will remain confidential and reported in a manner that protects participant anonymity.

Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS 2027) Main Study International Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED), is an international assessment of fourth and eighth grade students’ achievement in mathematics and science. Since its inception in 1995, TIMSS has continued to assess students every 4 years (1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019), with the next TIMSS assessment, TIMSS 2023, being the eighth iteration of the study. In TIMSS 2023, approximately 65 countries or education systems will participate. The United States will participate in TIMSS 2023 to continue to monitor the progress of its students compared to that of other nations and to provide data on factors that may influence student achievement. TIMSS is led by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), an international collective of research organizations and government agencies that create the frameworks used to develop the assessment, the survey instruments, and the study timeline. IEA decides and agrees upon a common set of standards, procedures, and timelines for collecting and reporting data, all of which must be followed by all participating countries. As a result, TIMSS is able to provide a reliable and comparable measure of student skills in participating countries. In the U.S., NCES conducts this study in collaboration with the IEA and a number of contractors to ensure proper implementation of the study and adoption of practices in adherence to the IEA’s standards. Participation in TIMSS is consistent with NCES’s mandate of acquiring and disseminating data on educational activities and student achievement in the United States compared with foreign nations [The Educational Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9543)]. Previous requests associated with the TIMSS 2023 field test, which was conducted in March and April 2022, were approved by OMB between May 2021 and February 2022 (OMB# 1850-0695 v.16-19). Because TIMSS is a collaborative effort among many parties, the United States must adhere to the international schedule set forth by the IEA, including the availability of final field test and main study plans as well as draft and final questionnaires. In order to meet the international data collection schedule, to align with recruitment for other NCES studies (e.g., the National Assessment of Education Progress, NAEP), and for schools to put the TIMSS 2023 field test assessment on their Spring 2022 calendars, recruitment activities for the field test began in June of 2021. Recruitment activities for the main study began in January 2022, with the data collection activities currently scheduled to begin in March 2023. This package solicits 30 days of public comment and requests OMB approval for the final international version of the main study questionnaires. Adaptation activities to fit the questionnaire text into the U.S. education context are currently underway. The U.S. questionnaires for the main study will be submitted via non-substantive change request in January 2023.

2026 Operational Test in Support of the 2030 Census

Key Information

Abstract

As part of the Decennial Census Program, the American Community Survey provides an opportunity to research and test elements of survey data collection that relate to the decennial census. As such, the ACS Methods Panel can serve as a testbed for the decennial census. The 2026 Operational Test in Support of the 2030 Census is an American Community Survey test using the ACS Methods Panel Tests framework that is planned to help the Census Bureau prepare for the 2030 Census. The 2026 Operational Test in Support of the 2030 Census (hereafter, the "Test") is not an end-to-end test of all operational work. Instead, it is a scaled-down version of the selected aspects of the census. The Test will be conducted in two test sites - Spartanburg, SC and Huntsville, AL - which allows for testing in real world situations and on a larger scale than research simulations allow. The Test will test the viability of new and revamped systems and methods researched and developed for the census; to identify, document, and address potential challenges. Additionally, the Test will evaluate and assess the use of United States Postal Service (USPS) staff to increase efficiency in various capacities typically performed by temporary Census Bureau field workers.

Hospital Conditions of Participation (COP) and Supporting Regulations (CMS-R-48)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a reinstatement of the information collection request that expired on 11/30/2017. The previous iteration of this OMB No. 0938-0328 (approved November 14, 2014) had a burden of 14,424,655 annual hours. For this requested reinstatement, with changes, the adjusted annual hourly burden for industry is 3,566,521 hours at an annual cost of $310,989,894. The decrease in burden hours is primarily due to the fact that many of the information collections that were previously required as CoPs by CMS are now customary and usual industry practice and would take place in the absence of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, where possible, CMS reduced the burden of CoPs with prior information collections.

Extensions of Credit to Insiders and Transactions with Affiliates

Key Information

Abstract

National banks and Federal savings associations must comply with rules of the Federal Reserve Board (Board) regarding extensions of credit to insiders (Regulation O) and transactions with affiliates (Regulation W), which implement section 22(h) and sections 23A and 23B, respectively, of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA). Twelve CFR part 31 addresses these transactions for national banks and Federal savings associations. Specifically, 12 CFR 31.2 requires national banks and Federal savings associations to comply with Regulation O, and 12 CFR 31.3 requires national banks and Federal savings associations to comply with Regulation W. Appendix A to part 31 provides interpretive guidance on the application of Regulation W to deposits between affiliated banks. Appendix B to part 31 provides a comparison of selected provisions of parts 32 and 215. Both national banks and Federal savings associations must comply with Regulation O and Regulation W. Section 31.3(c) implements the statutory standards for authorizing an exemption from section 23A of the FRA or section 11 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA) in accordance with section 608 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Section 608, which became effective on July 21, 2012, amends section 23A of the FRA and section 11 of the HOLA to authorize the OCC to exempt, by order, a transaction of a national bank or Federal savings association, respectively, from the affiliate transaction requirements of section 23A and section 11 of the HOLA if: (1) the OCC and the Board jointly find the exemption to be in the public interest and consistent with the purposes of section 23A or section 11, and (2) within 60 days of receiving notice of such finding, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation does not object in writing to the finding based on a determination that the exemption presents an unacceptable risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund. The information collection requirement is found in 12 CFR 31.3(d), which sets forth procedures that a national bank and Federal savings association must follow to request such exemptions. These procedures are modeled after the Board’s procedures in Regulation W.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Bison Donations Request Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Service’s “Bison Donations Transfer Protocol” (protocol) describes the process for the donation of the available surplus bison from the Service to eligible organizations, Tribes, or intertribal organizations as outlined in regulations at 50 CFR 30, as well as in Service Manual chapters 701 FW 5 and 701 FW 8. Surplus bison are offspring that exceed the ecological carrying capacity of the Service bison metapopulation. The primary purposes of donating these bison are to support conservation of the species as native North American wildlife and to assist in the restoration of bison herds on conservation partner lands, with special emphasis on restoring conservation herds to Tribal lands. Our authorities governing the Protocol include: • National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd and 668ee; as amended); • American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 1996); • Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, as amended); • Surplus Range Animals (50 CFR 30.1); • Disposition of Surplus Range Animals (50 CFR 30.2); • Native American Policy of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (510 FW 1); • Collections, Donations, and Disposals policy (701 FW 5); and • Fenced Animal Management policy (701 FW 8). In 2020, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Bison Working Group published the Department of the Interior Bison Conservation Initiative 2020 (2020 initiative), recognizing bison as a wildlife species in need of conservation. Consistent with this initiative, Service policy identifies the ecological and cultural values of bison as nationally and/or historically significant animals. The Bison Conservation Genetics Workshop: Report and Recommendations (2010 report) identifies DOI bison herds as a valuable source with which to start new conservation herds proposed by other Federal, State/provincial, or Tribal governments. The DOI Bison Report: Looking Forward (2014 report) acknowledges the challenges to achieving bison restoration on DOI lands and emphasizes the importance of partnerships for achieving bison conservation and ecological restoration. Both the 2010 and 2014 reports also identify the potential for bison herds maintained by Indian Tribes to contribute to species conservation, and the Service recognizes that such bison may also support Tribal cultural rights and practices.

Continuing Disability Review Report

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 221(i), 1614(a)(3)(H)(ii)(I) and 1633(c)(1) of the Social Security Act (Act) require SSA to periodically review the cases of individuals who receive benefits under Title II or Title XVI based on disability to determine if their disability continues. SSA considers adults eligible for disability payments if they continue to be unable to do substantial gainful activity because of their impairments, and we consider Title XVI children eligible for disability payment if they have marked and severe functional limitations because of their impairments. To assess claimants’ ongoing disability payment eligibility, SSA uses the information gathered through the Continuing Disability Review Report to complete a mandatory review for the continue disability review (CDR). SSA also uses the Continuing Disability Review Report to obtain information on sources of medical treatment; participation in vocational rehabilitation programs (if any); attempts to work (if any); and recipients’ assessments when they believe their conditions improved. Title II or Title XVI disability recipients can complete the Continuing Disability Review Report using one of three modalities: (1) a paper application or fillable PDF (using Form SSA 454 BK); (2) a field office interview, during which SSA employees enter claimant’s data directly into the Electronic Disability Collection System (EDCS); or (3) using an online system (i454). This new web-based modality will provide recipients a new platform for submitting information to increase accessibility and enhance automation. When SSA initiates a medical CDR, we send a mailed notice to the individual with a disability informing that individual that SSA requires a CDR. The mailed notice provides instructions to the recipient on how to assist the agency with initiating the CDR and gives the individual the option to complete a paper SSA-454 or an i454 for adult only disabled individuals. When an individual requires a CDR, a claims specialist (CS) mails the paper Form SSA-454-BK, and the respondent completes the form, and sends or brings it back to SSA; or the CS interviews the respondent and enters the information into the appropriate EDCS screens; or adult disabled individuals complete the SSA 454 BK electronically using the i454 Internet application. Regardless of the modality the respondent uses to complete the information (paper, EDCS, or Internet versions), SSA electronically stores the information provided in EDCS. The respondents complete the SSA-454-BK by themselves with self-help information available, or a representative may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents are Title II or Title XVI disability recipients or their representatives.
