Abstract

SSA regularly reviews individuals’ claims for SVB to determine their continued eligibility and the correct payment amounts. Individuals living outside of the United States who receive SVB must report to SSA any changes that may affect their benefits. We initiate this collection request by sending yearly notice with instructions (SSA 2010-F6 Cover Letter), which includes an SSA 2010 F6. Since we cannot rely on self-reporting, SSA uses Form SSA-2010-F6 to collect this required information from beneficiaries living outside the United States (U.S.) who are collecting SVB. All SVB beneficiaries have interviews with the Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) every year, who assist them in completing this form. Respondents are SVB beneficiaries living outside the U.S.

Abstract

On January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity (E.O. 14173), which revoked E.O. 11246. Therefore, applicants and employees of Federal contractors and subcontractors, authorized representatives, or third parties may file complaints of employment discrimination with OFCCP pursuant to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, but may no longer file complaints with OFCCP pursuant to E.O. 11246. OFCCP is requesting approval to revise questions on its complaint and pre-complaint inquiry forms to align with E.O. 14173. Following the revocation of E.O. 11246, OFCCP sought emergency approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to remove the items related to E.O. 11246 from the forms. OMB approved OFCCP’s request on July 2, 2025. On July 7, 2025, OFCCP also published a 60-day Federal Register notice seeking comments from the public on the updated forms and information collection request. OFCCP is now issuing the 30-day notice and supporting statement, which responds to the public comments.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) were proposed on December 19, 2002: promulgated on June 15, 2004; and revised on: June 26, 2006; January 18, 2008; January 30, 2013; and February 27, 2014, and August 10, 2022. These regulations apply to owners and operators of a stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) at either a major or area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, except if the stationary RICE is being tested at a stationary RICE test cell/stand. A stationary RICE is any internal combustion engine which uses reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work and which is not mobile. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Current amendments to the regulations mainly add electronic reporting provisions to the rule. In general, the changes do not result in regulated entities needing to submit anything additional electronically that is not currently submitted via paper copies, and this is therefore expected to lessen recordkeeping and reporting burden. This supporting statement addresses incremental information collection activities that will be imposed by the amendments to the NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.

Abstract The ShakeAlert system was established in compliance with the following authorities • 42 USC 68 Disaster Relief Act §5132. Disaster warnings • 42 USC 7701 Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act 2004.§7701. The collection of information is necessary as its findings has the potential to save lives Readiness of Federal agencies to issue warnings to State and local officials. The President shall insure that all appropriate Federal agencies are prepared to issue warnings of disasters to State and local officials. As the earthquake detection improves, the messages to populations can save lives by providing seconds of warning that strong shaking from an earthquake is coming. These seconds of extra warning can help people take protective actions, like Drop, Cover, and Hold On (DCHO) to reduce their risk of personal injury. Because seconds matter with ShakeAlert, we need to understand more about how the various parts of the alerting system work and what technical latencies or lag times exist. Without these studies, we would not understand how much time it will take for a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) to arrive on the devices of people. This critical information allows to better understand the channels that will be using ShakeAlerts, to determine how long it will take for people to receive the messages, so we can assist in providing information on the best protective actions in their circumstance.

Abstract

This information collection is requested under the authority of Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) Under this Title, EPA is charged with issuing certificates of conformity for those engines which comply with applicable emission standards. Such a certificate must be issued before engines may be legally introduced into commerce. To apply for a certificate of conformity, manufacturers are required to submit descriptions of their planned production line, including detailed descriptions of the emission control system, and test data. This information is organized by engine family groups expected to have similar emission characteristics. The emission values achieved during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The program allows manufacturers to bank credits for engine families that emit below the standard and use the credits for families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is voluntary. Different categories of spark-ignition engines may also be required to comply with production-line testing (PLT) and in-use testing. There are also recordkeeping and labeling requirements. This information is collected electronically by the Gasoline Engine Compliance Branch (GECB), Implementation, Analysis and Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ), Office of Air and Radiation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. GECC uses this information to ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable regulations and the Clean Air Act (CAA). It may also be used by the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and the Department of Justice for enforcement purposes. Non-CBI may be disclosed on OTAQ's Web site or upon request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to trade associations, environmental groups, and the public. Any information submitted for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et seq.

Abstract

This is a new information collection activity that covers the paperwork burden for tracking the adoption of bilingual labeling of pesticide products. This ICR was developed as part of a requirement by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA). PRIA was enacted in 2004 and established a new system for registering pesticides including fees and guaranteed decision times, along with funding for farmworker protection activities. PRIA was reauthorized in 2007, 2012, 2019, and most recently on December 29, 2022 (PRIA 5). PRIA 5 amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to require Spanish language translation for parts of the end-use pesticide product labels where translation is available in the EPA Spanish Translation Guide for Pesticide Labeling (or the Spanish Translation Guide). The Spanish Translation Guide contains translations of the following parts of pesticide product labelsthe keep out of reach of children statement, the restricted use pesticide statement for restricted use products, misuse statements, the signal word, first aid statements, the precautionary statements, personal protective equipment, engineering controls, environmental hazards, physical or chemical hazards, and the storage and disposal statements. PRIA 5 requires that each registered pesticide product released for shipment include either the Spanish language translation for parts of the labeling contained in EPAs Spanish Translation Guide for Pesticide Labeling on the pesticide product container, or a link to such translation via scannable technology or other electronic methods readily accessible on the product label. Antimicrobial pesticide products and non-agricultural/non-restricted use pesticide products may, in lieu of including a translation or a link to the translation, provide a link to the Spanish safety data sheets (SDS) via scannable technology or other electronic methods readily accessible on the product label. PRIA 5 establishes a rolling schedule for the implementation of bilingual labeling, from December 2025 to 2030, with the translations for the most hazardous and toxic pesticide products required first. For Restricted Use Pesticides (RUPs) and agricultural pesticides classified as Acute Toxicity Category I, the deadline is three years after the enactment of PRIA 5, or December 29, 2025. For agricultural pesticides classified as Acute Toxicity Category II, the deadline is five years after enactment, or December 29, 2027. For non-agricultural pesticides classified as Acute Toxicity Category I the deadline is four years after enactment, or December 29, 2026, and those classified as Acute Toxicity Category II six years after enactment, or December 29, 2028. All other pesticides must have the relevant language translated by December 29, 2030. These changes to the pesticide product labels are made using non-notification procedures, which means that the change to the pesticide labeling can be made without notifying, or submitting, the change to EPA for review. PRIA 5 also requires EPA to develop, implement, and make publicly available a plan for tracking the adoption of bilingual labeling by December 29, 2024.

Abstract

This ICR covers the information collection (IC) activities associated with the issuance of data-call-ins (DCIs) under section 3(c)(2)(B) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA regulates the use of pesticides under the authority of two federal statutes: FIFRA and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) , both as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. In general, before manufacturers can sell pesticides in the United States, EPA must evaluate the pesticides thoroughly to ensure that they meet federal safety standards to protect human health and the environment. EPA grants a "registration" or license that permits a pesticide's distribution, sale, and use only after the company meets the scientific and regulatory requirements. FIFRA also requires EPA to assess whether the continued registration of a pesticide causes unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment and to decide whether to pursue appropriate regulatory measures. EPA uses the DCIs issued under this ICR to acquire the data necessary to support registration review. In evaluating a pesticide registration application, EPA assesses a wide variety of potential human health and environmental effects associated with the use of the product. Applicants, or potential registrants, must generate or provide the scientific data necessary to address concerns pertaining to the identity, composition, potential adverse effects, and environmental fate of each pesticide. The data allow EPA to evaluate whether a pesticide has the potential to cause harmful effects to human health and the environment, including effects to non-target organisms, federally threatened and endangered (listed) species, and to surface water or ground water. Through a rigorous scientific and public process, EPA specifies the kinds of data and information necessary to make regulatory judgments about the risks and benefits of pesticide products under FIFRA section 3, 4 and 5, as well as the data and information needed to determine the safety of pesticide chemical residues under FFDCA section 408. The regulations in 40 CFR part 158 describe the minimum data and information EPA typically requires to support an application for pesticide registration or amendment; support the reregistration of a pesticide product; support the maintenance of a pesticide registration by means of the data call-in process (e.g., as used in the registration review program); or establish or maintain a tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for a pesticide chemical residue. As described in 40 CFR 158.30, however, FIFRA provides EPA with flexibility to require, or not require, data and information for the purposes of making regulatory judgments for individual pesticide products, thereby allowing for the data required to be modified on an individual basis to fully characterize the use and properties, characteristics, or effects of specific pesticide products under review. EPA may, therefore, require the submission of additional data or information beyond that specified in the regulations if such data or information are needed to evaluate a pesticide product as required by FIFRA and FFDCA. This ICR describes how DCIs are issued and presents the Agency’s estimates of the information collection burden and costs associated with issuing DCIs.

Abstract

As prescribed in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121 and 135, the FAA requires certificate holders to submit hazardous materials (hazmat) procedures and information (sometimes referred to as hazmat manuals) and hazmat training programs as a part of the FAA’s certification process. In addition, revisions to an approved hazmat training program must be submitted following certification to obtain initial and final approval as part of the FAA’s certification process. Revisions to an accepted manual may be requested following certification. Initial certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR part 119. Continuing certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. The FAA uses the certification process to review the certificate holder’s hazmat manual and training programs for compliance with the applicable regulations, national policies, and safe operating practices. It also ensures that the documents adequately establish safe operating procedures. Additionally, 14 CFR part 145 requires certain repair stations to provide documentation showing that persons handling hazmat for transportation have been trained in accordance with 49 CFR parts 171 through 180. The submission of this documentation is covered in this information collection.
