FAA Advisory Circular 120-119, Voluntary Safety Management System for Other Regulated Entities Transporting Dangerous Goods by Air

Key Information

Abstract

Advisory Circular (AC) 120-119, Voluntary Safety Management System for Other Regulated Entities Transporting Dangerous Goods by Air, provides information on how entities subject to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 171-180 may voluntarily implement a Safety Management System (SMS) as described in 14 CFR Part 5, Safety Management Systems. These entities perform functions such as handling or shipping dangerous goods by air and are referred to as Other Regulated Entities (ORE). As outlined in AC 120-119, large OREs can use the SMS principles in 14 CFR Part 5 as a basis to develop a voluntary SMS program, including an SMS Implementation Plan, which is submitted to the FAA’s Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (AXH) for review and acceptance. Then, the ORE implements its SMS program and maintains records to document processes, identify hazards, and document non-compliance. This collection covers the burden of developing the implementation plan and continued monitoring of the voluntary SMS program. Changes in this renewal include: • Adjustment (added an IC) to better distinguish between initial submission and continuing recordkeeping burden; • Adjustment in respondent estimates (decrease) based on current data; and • Adjustment in annual burden estimates for initial submission (decrease) based on subject matter expertise.

Notice of Construction, Alteration and Deactivation of Airports

Key Information

Abstract

Title 14 CFR Part 157 mandates that all “persons proposing to construct, alter, activate, or deactivate a civil or joint-use (civil/military) airport or to alter the status or use of such an airport” must notify the FAA before any construction, alteration, or change to the status or use of an airport. Airports submit this information using FAA Form 7480-1, Notice for Construction, Alteration and Deactivation of Airports, or its online equivalent. The collection is reporting and occurs on occasion as needed. The collection requires proponents to report and certify the purpose of the notification; the name, location, use, and type of landing area affected; landing area data; and operation data, including number of based aircraft and average number of landings. The FAA uses the information collected when: • Determining the effect the proposed action will have on existing airports and on the safe and efficient use of airspace by aircraft. • Determining the effects the proposed action will have on existing or contemplated traffic patterns of neighboring airports. • Determining the effects the proposed action will have on the existing airspace structure and projected programs of the FAA. • Determining the effects that existing or proposed manmade objects (on file with the FAA) and natural objects within the affected area will have on the airport proposal. Proponents are also required to notify the FAA by letter or by FAA Form 5010-5 within 15 days after completion of the project. The FAA requires this notification because many proposals are never completed for reasons pertinent only to the sponsor. The confirmation of the completion of the project is needed in order to identify the cancelled proposals, so as to release any airspace that may have been reserved and to update aeronautical charts and flight information publications. The collection/burden for Form 5010-5 falls under a different collection (OMB Control Number 2120-0015). It is anticipated that the information collected will be disseminated to the public or used to support publicly disseminated information in aeronautical charts and flight information publications. FAA Office of Airports will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for privacy and electronic information. See response to Question 10 of this Supporting Statement for more information on confidentiality and privacy. The information collection is designed to yield data that meet all applicable information quality guidelines.

Accreditation of Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Suppliers (CMS-10932)

Key Information

Abstract

Since 2006, DMEPOS suppliers have been required to be accredited by a CMS-approved DMEPOS accreditation organization (AO) in order to enroll in Medicare. The accreditation process, which typically centers around the AO’s on-site survey of the DMEPOS supplier, is designed to help confirm that the supplier is compliant with the DMEPOS quality standards. To become and remain a DMEPOS AO – of which there currently are eight -- an organization must comply with the requirements of § 424.58. These requirements include, but are not limited to, submission of: (i) an initial application to CMS to become a DMEPOS AO; (ii) an application to CMS for reapproval as a DMEPOS AO; and (iii) periodic information to CMS about its DMEPOS accreditation program. These AO applications and data submissions do not follow a specific format and are not furnished on uniform OMB-approved forms -- akin to, for example, the Form CMS-855S DMEPOS supplier enrollment application (Medicare Enrollment Application - Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Suppliers; OMB Control Number: 0938-1056). CMS on July 2, 2025, published in the Federal Register a proposed rule titled, “Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Calendar Year 2026 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Rate Update; Requirements for the HH Quality Reporting Program and the HH Value-Based Purchasing Expanded Model; Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program Updates; DMEPOS Accreditation Requirements; and Other Medicare and Medicaid Policies” (90 FR 29108) (CMS-1828-P). Among the proposals in this proposed rule were additional requirements that organizations must meet to become or remain a DMEPOS AO. These proposals would: (1) facilitate greater CMS oversight of the DMEPOS accreditation program in general and DMEPOS AOs in particular; and (2) help better ensure that DMEPOS AOs are adequately performing their accreditation and quality standard verification activities. These requirements would be included in revised § 424.58.

Assessing the Fit and Comfort of Motorcycle Safety Gear

Key Information

Abstract

NHTSA seeks approval from OMB for a new information collection request to assess the fit, comfort, and preference of motorcyclists’ safety gear. The proposed study aims to address the pressing need to understand the relationship between the fit and comfort of personal protective motorcycle gear and the decision to use gear. This information collection will be a one-time voluntary collection involving assessments of motorcycle safety gear (i.e., footwear, gloves, helmets, jackets, and pants). In 2022, there were 6,218 motorcyclists killed in traffic crashes, comprising 15 percent of all traffic fatalities and 19 percent of all motor vehicle occupant (driver and passenger) fatalities, representing a fatality rate per vehicle miles traveled nearly 22 times that of passenger car occupants. These findings demonstrate the inherent risk of motorcycle riding and highlight the importance of wearing personal protective gear. Nonetheless, not all motorcyclists use gear on every ride. There are many reasons why a motorcycle rider may not wear protective gear, such as a sense of “personal freedom,” “It’s more fun to ride without a helmet,” skepticism about the protective value of helmets, and the discomfort of wearing a helmet. Even when protective gear is worn, ill-fitting gear or improperly worn gear could compromise protection. NHTSA provides specific information on its website about finding the right fit and identifying unsafe helmets, but the extent to which motorcyclists wear helmets that fit and are worn safely is unknown. Additionally, the requirements for an effective fit may vary by the type of motorcycle, riding style, and riding positions. To encourage greater and proper usage of protective gear, it is crucial to understand the factors contributing to non-adherence to safety recommendations. NHTSA is conducting this study to investigate riders' beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions regarding gear fit and comfort, and to assess the fit and comfort of gear in use. The study plans to screen 1,250 riders to reach the targeted 625 study participants with an equal number of riders of standard, cruiser, sport and adventure/touring motorcycles, and seated motor scooters; gather information about the protective gear the riders use; and assess the fit and comfort of the gear. Participation will be voluntary and anonymous. Participants will be recruited at locations where riders gather such as rallies, and other organized social or training events. Study staff will observe gear worn by riders, assess the fit of one type of protective gear (i.e., footwear, gloves, helmet, jacket, or pants) per participant, and ask riders for their opinions about the fit and comfort of the protective gear type of interest (one type of gear per participant). Additionally, study staff will use a tablet to show participants a series of images of examples of the protective gear type of interest that range in protective value (e.g., half helmet, full-face helmet); the examples will include a description of the item (e.g., composition material, ventilation/waterproof features) but not the brand name. Participants will rate each example in terms of its perceived protection and the likelihood they would use or purchase it. The intention of this collection is to learn about the experiences and perceptions of riders regarding protective gear. The collected information will inform NHTSA’s development of programs as it looks for ways to improve rider safety while still prioritizing rider comfort to ensure riding remains an enjoyable experience. NHTSA will use the collected information to produce a technical report with aggregate (summary) statistics and tables only; no personally identifiable information will be retained or reported. The technical report will be distributed to audiences interested in improving highway safety.

Suspected Unapproved Parts Notification

Key Information

Abstract

The information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review. The report information is received by the FAA’s Safety Hotline, and is used to determine if an unapproved part investigation is warranted. If the investigation confirms that the part is unapproved, and additional unapproved parts exists on other products, aircraft, or designs, the information is used as a basis for an aviation industry alert or notification. Alerts are used to inform industry of situations essential to the prevention of accidents. If the information had not been collected, the consequence to the aviation community would be the inability to determine whether or not unapproved parts are being offered for sale or use for installation on type-certificated products. Procedures and processes relating to the SUP program and associated reports are found in FAA Order 8120.16A, Suspected Unapproved Parts Program, and AC 21-29D, Detecting and Reporting Suspected Unapproved Parts. When unapproved parts are identified, the FAA notifies the public by published Field Notifications (FN), disseminated using Unapproved Parts Notifications (UPN), Aviation Maintenance Alerts, Airworthiness Directives (AD), entry into an issue of the Service Difficulty Reporting Summary, a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin, a display on an Internet site, or direct mailing.

Key Information

Abstract

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA or the Act), 25 U.S.C. 2701, et seq., laid out a comprehensive framework for the regulation of gaming on Indian lands. Amongst other actions necessary to carry out the Commission’s statutory duties, the Act requires Indian tribes that conduct a class II and/or class III gaming activity to pay annual fees to the Commission on the basis of the assessable gross revenues of each gaming operation using rates established by the Commission. 25 U.S.C. 2717. The Commission is authorized to “promulgate such regulations and guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement” IGRA. 25 U.S.C. 2706(b)(10). The Commission has promulgated part 514 of title 25, Code of Federal Regulations, to implement these statutory requirements. Section 514.6 requires a tribe to submit, along with its fee payments, quarterly fee statements (worksheets) showing its assessable gross revenues for the previous fiscal year in order to support the computation of fees paid by each gaming operation. Section 514.7 requires a tribe to submit a notice within 30 days after a gaming operation changes its fiscal year. Section 514.15 allows a tribe to submit fingerprint cards to the Commission for processing by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with a fee to cover the NIGC’s and FBI’s cost to process the fingerprint cards on behalf of the tribes. Part of this collection is mandatory and the other part is voluntary. The required submission of the fee worksheets allows the Commission to both set and adjust fee rates, and to support the computation of fees paid by each gaming operation. In addition, the voluntary submission of fingerprint cards allows a tribe to conduct statutorily mandated background investigations on applicants for key employee and primary management official positions.
