SNAP-ED National Program Evaluation and Reporting System (N-PEARS)

Key Information

Abstract

To gain Federally allocated SNAP-Ed grants to conduct SNAP-Ed activities every year, such as nutrition education and obesity prevention services, States must submit a SNAP-Ed State Plan and a SNAP-Ed Annual Report. The SNAP-Ed State Plan must be created based on SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance (https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/program-administration/snap-ed-plan-guidance-and-templates) and then reviewed and approved by FNS Regional Offices before SNAP-Ed funding can be utilized. The information contained in SNAP-Ed State Plans and Annual Reports is used by FNS to determine whether SNAP-Ed Program resources are being maximized, and whether State SNAP agencies have produced a persuasive and data-driven needs evaluation of nutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention needs of the target population and their barriers to obtaining healthy foods and physical activity in the State SNAP-Ed Plan. Furthermore, the information is necessary to ensure integrity of SNAP-Ed funds, demonstrate program effectiveness, and track SNAP-Ed outcomes and impacts.

Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category Airplanes

Key Information

Abstract

The information or data collection is mandatory from the DAHs as required by the FAA regulations as specified in item 1. The main purpose of the data collection is for the review by FAA oversight offices of the transport aircraft fuel tank safety level as required by the FAA regulations. The DAHs are required to provide semi-annual reliability reports. The FAA safety oversight offices have reviewed the collected data in order to assess mandatory action to correct any unsafe conditions resulting from poor reliability of the fuel tank flammability reduction means (FRM) and the resulting increased flammability of the fuel tanks on transport category airplanes. This is because high flammability fuel tanks are susceptible to catastrophic fuel tank explosions. These collected data are the fuel tank FRM component reliability reports as specified in item 1. In summary, the FAA requires the DAHs to collect and provide the fuel tank FRM component reliability results for FAA safety review. This is to ensure the fuel tank safety level meets the regulatory requirements specified in item 1.

10 CFR Part 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), is amending its regulations governing the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. Historically, the NRC has updated its transportation safety regulations to align with the safety standards established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). These amendments continue to ensure that NRC regulations are consistent with DOT requirements for the domestic packaging and transportation of radioactive material and remain generally harmonized with IAEA safety standards. These revisions have been coordinated with the DOT and its hazardous materials regulations to maintain a consistent framework for the domestic transportation and packaging of radioactive material. In addition, this final rule revises 10 CFR Part 71 to incorporate administrative, editorial, and clarifying changes, including updates to certain Agreement State compatibility category designations.

Death Gratuity

Key Information

Abstract

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Public Law 110-181, was enacted on January 28, 2008. Section 1105 of P.L. 110-181 amended the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) creating a new section, 5 U.S.C. § 8102a effective upon enactment. This section establishes a FECA death gratuity benefit of up to $100,000 for eligible beneficiaries of federal employees and Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality employees who die from injuries incurred in connection with service with an Armed Force in a contingency operation which also permits agencies to authorize retroactive payment of the death gratuity for employees who died on or after October 7, 2001 in service with an Armed Force in the theater of operations of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. It also allows federal employees to vary the order of precedence of beneficiaries or to name alternate beneficiaries and provides that the OWCP Forms CA-40, CA-41, and CA-42 are to be used to designate beneficiaries and initiate the payment process for death gratuity benefits. Form CA-40 is an optional form that requests the information necessary from the employee to accomplish this variance and to name alternate beneficiaries only if the employee wishes to do so. OWCP Form CA-41 provides the means for those named beneficiaries and possible recipients to file claims for those benefits and requests information from such claimants so that OWCP may determine their eligibility for payment. Further, the statute and regulations require agencies to notify OWCP immediately upon the death of a covered employee. OWCP Form CA-42 provides the means to accomplish this notification and requests information necessary to administer any claim for benefits resulting from such a death. Form CA-40 is an optional form that requests the information necessary from the employee to accomplish this variance and to name alternate beneficiaries only if the employee wishes to do so. Form CA-41 provides the means for those named beneficiaries and possible recipients to file claims for those benefits and requests information from such claimants so that OWCP may determine their eligibility for payment. Further, the statute and regulations require agencies to notify OWCP immediately upon the death of a covered employee.

Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors; FAR Section Affected: 52.222-90

Key Information

Abstract

This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit in response to the requirements of section 3 of E.O. 14398 as implemented in the following FAR clause: a. FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors. This clause requires contractors to: i. Par (b)(2) - Furnish all information and reports, including providing access to books, records, and accounts, as required by the Contracting Officer, for purposes of ascertaining compliance with the clause. ii. Par (b)(4) - The Contractor will report any subcontractor's known or reasonably knowable conduct that may violate this clause to the Contracting Officer and take any appropriate remedial actions directed by the Contracting Officer. iii. Par (b)(5) - The Contractor will inform the Contracting Officer if a subcontractor sues the Contractor and the suit puts at issue, in any way, the validity of the clause.Emergency Justfication:E.O. 14398 prohibits contractors from engaging in any racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities. Section 5 of E.O. 14398 directs the FAR Council to issue a deviation regarding agency implementation of the contract clause provided in section 3 of the E.O. . The collection of information is needed prior to the expiration of time periods normally associated with a routine submission for review under the provisions of the PRA in accordance with the requirement in section 3 of the E.O., in which agencies must amend contracts to incorporate a clause within 30 days of the Order, and is essential to the mission of the agencies to ensure compliance with the E.O. (5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)). b. Delaying collection to comply with normal clearance procedures is likely to result in public harm (5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)). E.O. 14398 explains the public harm in section 1: Some entities continue to engage in DEI activities and often attempt to conceal their efforts to do so. DEI activities are not only unethical and often illegal, but also cause inefficiencies, waste, and abuse within entities that engage in such practices. Specifically, DEI activities impose artificial costs in hiring, promotion, and operations by precluding implementation of merit-based principles; creating excessive workforce turnover by elevating immutable characteristics over job performance; and jeopardizing the sort of employee collaboration and problem-solving that is essential to fostering efficient and high-quality work. DEI activities also create unnecessary costs by reducing the pool of available labor by artificially limiting companies to hiring or promoting certain individuals, suppliers, or intermediaries based on their race or ethnicity.
