Abstract

This information collection request documents the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burden for the labeling requirements for certain minimum risk pesticide products exempt from Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) registration under 40 CFR 152.25(f). These requirements were updated in the final rule entitled: Pesticides; Revisions to Minimum Risk Exemption (80 FR 80653; December 28, 2015). Under 40 CFR 152.25(f), EPA has exempted from the requirement of FIFRA registration certain pesticide products if they are composed of specified ingredients and labeled accordingly. EPA created the exemption for minimum risk pesticides to eliminate the need for industry or business to expend significant resources to apply for and maintain regulated products that are deemed to be of minimum risk to human health and the environment. In addition, exempting such products freed Agency resources to focus on evaluating formulations whose toxicity was less well characterized, or was of higher toxicity. The 2015 Final Rule reorganized the ingredients lists and added specific chemical identifiers to clarify to manufacturers, the public, and Federal, state, and tribal inspectors the specific chemical substances that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products. EPA also modified the label requirements to require the use of specific label display names of ingredients and to require producer contact information on the label. The primary goal of this rulemaking was to clarify the conditions of exemption for minimum risk pesticides by clarifying the specific ingredients that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products and to provide company contact information on the label. The previous version of this ICR covered the paperwork burdens associated with existing products updating their labels to comply with the new requirements during the 2015 Final Rule’s compliance period. EPA anticipates that those burdens have been realized and is now accounting for the potential burden for new products coming into the market.

Abstract

The Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities Coordinating Center (TPSID-CC) program is the evaluation arm for the work that is being completed by the TPSID program grantees. TPSID-CC uses data collected from the work that the TPSID program grantees are doing on behalf of the TPSID program participants, to establish a comprehensive research and evaluation protocol for TPSID program grantees, non-TPSID program CTP (comprehensive transition programs) and pertinent stakeholders. TPSID program grantees can use the evidence-based information they receive from the data that is collected by the TPSID-CC to find ways to apply what they have learned to their respective TPSID program projects. Simultaneously, the TPSID-CC is also providing technical assistance to build the capacity of IHEs across the country to make college possible for students with intellectual disabilities who want to go to college Data must be collected by the TPSID-CC on accreditation standards and communications with recognized accrediting agencies; descriptions and analyses of funding streams, and the impact of the TPSID-CC’s technical assistance activities related to outreach and dissemination. In October 2020, the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI), UMass Boston received a five-year cooperative agreement from the Office of Postsecondary Education to serve as the National Coordinating Center (NCC) for colleges and universities implementing inclusive higher education programs for students with intellectual disabilities, including 22 model demonstration projects aimed at creating inclusive comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities known as Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSIDs). To reduce respondent burden, the NCC has streamlined and simplified the previously approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The NCC will enhance the collection and analyses of longitudinal follow-up data from TPSID model programs via an already developed and previously OMB approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The revised data collection system is part of an evaluation effort. The system will collect program data at the institutions from TPSID program staff via an online, secure data management system.

Abstract

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), under its statutory and regulatory authorities, may require such applicants to show they have the financial standing necessary to conduct their operations in compliance with Federal law during an alcohol or tobacco permit application investigation. However, the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (the Act; 12 U.S.C. 3401 et seq.) limits the Federal Government’s access to the records of individuals held by financial institutions. The Act provides that a person may authorize a financial institution to disclose their individual records to a Federal agency, but it also requires the agency to certify to the institution that the agency has complied with the Act. To meet those requirements, a permit applicant uses TTB F 5030.6, Authorization to Furnish Financial Information and Certificate of Compliance, to authorize a financial institution to disclose their individual records to TTB, and TTB uses the form to certify to the institution that the agency has complied with the Act.

As required by the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) and (f), the Secretary has issued regulations, administered by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), regarding the labeling and advertising of wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages, which are contained in 27 CFR parts 4, 5, and 7, respectively. The FAA Act provides that these regulations should, among other things, prohibit consumer deception and the use of misleading statements on labels and ensure that labels provide the consumer with adequate information as to the identity and quality of the product. Under those regulations, bottlers and importers of alcohol beverages must provide certain mandatory information, conform to regulatory requirements regarding certain voluntary disclosures, and adhere to certain presentation standards for statements made on labels and in advertisements of alcohol beverages. Those regulations ensure that consumers are provided with adequate, legible, and non-deceptive or misleading information as to the identity and quality of such products.

Abstract

Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) enacted in 1975, requires certain depository and non-depository institutions that make certain mortgage loans to collect, report, and disclose data about originations and purchases of mortgage loans, as well as loan applications that do not result in originations. HMDA generates loan data that can be used to: (1) help determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities; (2) assist public officials in distributing public-sector investments so as to attract private investment to areas where it is needed; and (3) assist in identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing anti-discrimination statutes. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) transferred HMDA and its rulemaking authority from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and transferred supervisory and enforcement authority for HMDA for depository institutions over $10 billion in consolidated assets from the Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, OCC, and National Credit Union Administration to the CFPB. The CFPB published a final rule on October 28, 2015, that expanded the data collected and reported under HMDA, as implemented by Regulation C, and published a final rule on September 13, 2017, with additional corrections and clarifications (final rules). The final rules also modified the types of lenders and loans covered under Regulation C. First, for data collected in 2017, and reported in 2018, the rule simply reduces the number of institutions covered under Regulation C because only depositories originating more than 25 closed end loans must report. Then, starting January 1, 2018, an institution was required to begin collecting expanded data under HMDA if it either originates 25 or more closed end mortgage loans or 500 or more open-end lines of credit secured by a dwelling in each of the two preceding years, in addition to meeting other criteria. These institutions will begin reporting the expanded HMDA data in 2019. Starting in 2020, an institution will collect data on open-end lines of credit if it originates more than 100 open-end lines of credit secured by a dwelling in each of the two preceding years (and report that open-end lines of credit data beginning in 2021). An institution also will collect and report covered loans and applications quarterly if it received a total of at least 60,000 covered loans and applications in the preceding calendar year. An institution must report a covered loan if it has met the loan origination threshold for that loan category (open end or closed-end); an institution that is not required to report data may voluntarily do so. In addition, the types of loans covered under Regulation C changed under the final rules beginning in 2018. Covered institutions are required to collect and report any mortgage loan secured by a dwelling, including open end lines of credit, regardless of the loan’s purpose. Dwelling secured loans that are made principally for a commercial or business purpose, as well as agricultural–purpose loans and other specified loans are excluded. On September 7, 2018, the CFPB issued an interpretive and procedural rule to implement section 104(a) of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA). Section 104(a) amended certain provisions of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) by adding partial exemptions from HMDA's requirements for certain insured depository institutions and insured credit unions. Insured depository institutions and insured credit unions covered by a partial exemption have the option of reporting exempt data fields as long as they report all data fields within any exempt data point for which they report data.

The FDIC’s market risk capital rules (12 CFR part 324, subpart F) enhance risk sensitivity, increase transparency through enhanced disclosures and include requirements for the public disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information about the market risk of state nonmember banks and state savings associations (covered FDIC-supervised institutions). The market risk rule applies only if a bank holding company or bank has aggregated trading assets and trading liabilities equal to 10 percent or more of quarter-end total assets or $1 billion or more (covered FDIC-supervised institutions). Currently, only one FDIC-regulated entity meets the criteria of the information collection requirements that are located at 12 CFR 324.203 through 324.212. The collection of information is necessary to ensure capital adequacy appropriate for the level of market risk.
