NRC Form 754, Armed Security Personnel Firearms Background Check

Key Information

Abstract

Current NRC security regulations include security requirements pertaining to nuclear power reactors and Category I Strategic Special Nuclear Material (SSNM) facilities for access to enhanced weapons and firearms background checks. NRC Form 754 collects the information required to perform the necessary firearms background checks. The background check uses the person's fingerprints and other identifying information and is performed under the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Instant Criminal Background Check System to determine if an individual is prohibited under Federal or State law from possessing or receiving firearms. Licensees submit NRC Form 754 for all security personnel protecting Commission designated facilities, radioactive material, or other property whose duties require them to have access to these weapons.

Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval from OMB of this information collection request (ICR) for an extension with modification of its currently approved information collection for the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) information collection. NHTSA is seeking approval to modify the collection to include the collection of the portion of NHTSA’s Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) data that is submitted through the FARS data collection effort. NHTSA is authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 402, 403 & 405 to collect data on motor vehicle traffic crashes to aid in the identification of issues and the development, implementation, and evaluation of motor vehicle and highway safety countermeasures to support efforts to reduce injuries and fatalities caused by motor vehicle crashes. The FARS is a voluntary information collection of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. The FARS data collection started in 1975 and is a census of all defined crashes involving fatalities in the country. The FARS collects annual data from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico under cooperative agreements. State employees collect and process information from existing State files including police crash reports as well as driver license, vehicle registration, highway department files, and vital statistics files. NHTSA aggregates the data for research and analysis in support of motor vehicle regulations and highway safety programs. This supports NHTSA’s mission by providing the agency vital information about fatal crashes. The aggregated data comprises a national database that tracks trends in fatalities and quantifying problems in highway safety. The FARS data are used extensively by NHTSA, other DOT modes, States, and local jurisdictions and the highway research community. Congress uses the FARS data for making decisions concerning safety programs. The FARS data are publicly available. The Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) is an automated data collection effort for collecting information about non-traffic crashes and non-crash incidents. The NTS data provide counts and details regarding fatalities and injuries that occur in non-traffic crashes and in non-crash incidents. The NTS non-traffic crash data are obtained through NHTSA’s data collection efforts for the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), and FARS. NTS also includes data outside of NHTSA’s own data collections. NTS’ non-crash injury data are based upon emergency department records from a special study conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) All Injury Program. NTS non-crash fatality data are derived from death certificate information from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Vital Statistics System. This ICR only seeks approval for the collection of NTS data for NTS that comes from the FARS data collection effort. The annual burden has been adjusted from 107,209 to 118,762 hours (an increase of 11,553 hours), while the costs are maintained at $0. The adjustment in burden hours is due to the increase in the complexity of coding the FARS cases and an increase in the number of fatal crashes across most States. The increase also accounts for the time to process the non-traffic fatalities for NTS. Furthermore, while time for manually inputting data has decreased with States implementing systems to electronically transfer police report data that prepopulate NHTSA’s data systems, including FARS, the overall burden increased because, over the past two years, there has been an increase in staff turnover at the State level, adding an increase in administrative hours, training, and coding assistance to continue operations.

Disability Update Report

Key Information

Abstract

Periodically SSA uses Form SSA-455, the Disability Report Update, to evaluate current Title II disability beneficiaries and Title XVI disability payment recipients' continued eligibility for Social Security disability payments. Specifically, SSA uses the form to determine if: (1) there is enough evidence to warrant referring the respondent for a full medical Continuing Disability Review (CDR); (2) the respondent's impairment(s) is still present and is indicative of no medical improvement, precluding the need for a CDR; or (3) there are unresolved work-related issues for the respondent. SSA mails Form SSA-455 to specific disability recipients, whom we select as possibly qualifying for the continuing disability review process. SSA pre-fills the form with data specific to the disability recipient, except for the sections we ask the beneficiary to complete. When SSA receives the completed form, we optically scan it into SSA's system. This allows us to gather the information electronically to enable SSA to process the returned forms through automated decision logic to decide the proper course of action we will take. The respondents are recipients of Title II and Title XVI Social Security disability payments. We are making minor revisions to the paper versions of the form to remove the signature requirement and to replace the SSN# with the Beneficiary Notice Control number.

Application for Child's Insurance Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Social Security Act (Act) provides for the payment of monthly benefits to children of an insured retired, disabled, or deceased worker. Section 202(d) of the Act discloses the conditions and requirements the applicant must meet when filing an application. An unmarried child who has a parent who is retired or has a disability and is entitled to Social Security benefits, or who has a parent who died after having worked long enough in a job where they paid Social Security taxes, is entitled to receive benefits. An unmarried child can receive benefits if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) the child is younger than 18; (2) the child is a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school (grade 12 or below); (3) the child is age 18 to 19 and attending elementary or secondary school full-time; or (4) the child is age 18 or older with a disability that began before age 22. Under certain circumstances, SSA can also pay benefits to a stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild, or adopted child. Respondents can download and complete Form SSA 4 BK at www.ssa.gov and mail it back to SSA, or they can call SSA to schedule an appointment at the field office, where an SSA employee can interview respondents and enter information into our Modernized Claims Systems (MCS). When applying for benefits for a child, the respondent needs to provide SSA with the following information: (1) the child’s birth certificate or other proof of birth or adoption; and (2) the parent’s and child’s Social Security numbers. Depending on the type of benefit involved, SSA may require other documents for example: if applying for survivors benefits for the child, SSA requires proof of the parent’s death; and if applying for benefits for a child with a disability, SSA requires medical evidence to prove the child’s disability. The SSA representative helping the respondent with their application tells them what other documents they may need, or the respondent can find the information on SSA’s website. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-4-BK to determine entitlement for children of living and deceased workers to monthly Social Security payments. The respondents are guardians completing the form on behalf of the children of living or deceased workers, or the children of living or deceased workers.

[NCZEID] Report of Illness or Death: Interstate Travel of Persons (42 CFR part 70)

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of this information collection is to ensure that CDC can collect data related to communicable diseases or deaths that occur aboard conveyances during interstate travel within the United States. Data is used by CDC to assess and respond to reports of communicable disease or death that occur on conveyances engaged in interstate travel, and assist state and local health authorities if an illness or death occurs that poses a risk to public health. As required by regulation, all instances of communicable disease characterized by certain signs and symptoms must be reported to the local health authority with jurisdiction over the arrival port. CDC has accepted reports to CDC as fulfilling this requirement. CDC also requests reports of all deaths occurring during domestic flights. In this Revision, CDC is consolidating several aviation‑related information collections under one OMB control number to streamline PRA submissions and align burden estimates with current post‑COVID‑19 reporting levels. Multiple forms were updated to reflect new terminology, revised exposure and symptom fields, updated security and submission instructions, and alignment with Executive Order 14168 by replacing “gender” with “sex.” Most affected tools also had their OMB Control Numbers updated to 0920‑0488 for consistency.

Disability Report - Adult

Key Information

Abstract

State Disability Determination Services (DDS) use Form SSA-3368, Disability Report – Adult, and its electronic versions, to determine if an adult disability applicant’s impairment(s) is severe and, if so, how the impairment(s) affects the applicant’s ability to work. This determination dictates whether the DDS and SSA will find the applicant disabled. The information we collect on the SSA 3368 is used by the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) to obtain evidence and evaluate whether or not an individual is found disabled. The collection is mandatory for applicants filing to obtain Title II disability benefits or Title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We collect this information from the individual one time. We collect the information via several modalities: the SSA-3368-BK PDF paper form, the EDCS SSA-3368 Intranet application, and the i3368 Internet application. The respondents complete the SSA-3368 by themselves with self help information available, or another may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents generally do not need information from someone else to complete the application. The respondents are disability applicants or third parties assisting the applicants applying for Title II disability benefits or Title XVI SSI payments. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to include the Final Rule revisions currently approved under 0960-0834 (Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work) under this ICR. Upon OMB's approval of this Change Request (and the Change Requests for both 0960-0300 and 0960-0578), we will discontinue the ICR for 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden for these information collections.

Required Information for Annual Improper Payment Estimation

Key Information

Abstract

Federal Student Aid (FSA) administers the Department of Education’s Federal student financial aid programs authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Under these programs, institutions of higher education act as a fiduciary in receiving grant and loan funds from the Department for the sole purpose of allowing students to pay the costs of attendance at the institution. The Department executes a two-stage Sampling and Estimation Methodology Plan (S&EMP) that is based in part on the results of compliance audits to estimate its improper payments and unknown payments in accordance with the Public Law 116-117, Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) and OMB Circular A-123, Appendix C (A-123C). The Department requires sample, population, and as applicable, finding information regarding testing performed by the auditors, however, this is not reported with the compliance audit. This information is necessary to execute FSA’s S&EMP. The legal and administrative requirements that necessitate the collection of this information are the audit access provisions in 2 CFR 200.517(b) and Title IV regulations at 34 CFR 668.23(e)(1)(ii), which the Department has concluded gives it the authority to collect certain information from the single audit in order for the Department to carry out its oversight responsibilities with regard to improper payments and unknown payments. PIIA section 3352 (31 U.S.C. section 3352) requires federal agencies to review all programs and activities they administer that may be susceptible to significant improper payments and publish the payment integrity information annually. This is a request for a new information collection to develop a form for institutions of higher education to have a mechanism to report to the Department information required to carry out the S&EMP and publish payment integrity information on an annual basis.

Motorcycle Helmets (Labeling)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is a request for the reinstatement of previously-approved information collection for NHTSA’s motorcycling labeling requirements. Motorcycle helmets are devices used for protecting motorcyclists from head injury in motor vehicle crashes. Each motorcycle helmet manufacturer is required to label every helmet it produces to indicate compliance with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, “Motorcycle helmets.” Manufacturers are also required to label every helmet to provide helmet owners with important safety information including the manufacturer’s name, discrete size of the helmet, month and year of manufacture, and specific instructions. Failure to provide (collect) this information would put motorcyclists at risk because the helmet might not be labeled with the information needed to properly fit the purchaser and with the safety warnings and information specified in the standard. State and local law enforcement agencies could also find it more difficult to enforce State laws requiring the use of a helmet certified to FMVSS No. 218, if helmets were not required to bear a certification label. The labeling requirement in the standard also supports the Department of Transportation’s strategic goal in safety, by ensuring that motorcycle helmets are manufactured and certified to the performance requirements of the standard. NHTSA estimates the total burden of this collection is 10,900 hours and $1,942,384.

[NCEH] Maritime Illness Database and Reporting System (MIDRS)

Key Information

Abstract

The CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) is requesting a 3-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for this revision information collection request (ICR). In the past three years, the VSP has received 13,352 AGE reports to through its “Maritime Illness Database and Reporting System (MIDRS)” (OMB Control No. 0920-1260; expiration date 04/30/2022). Since the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the number of cruise ship voyages operating to U.S. ports of call. Between March 2020 and October 2021, cruise industry operations were suspended under a federally issued No Sail Order, and then subsequently under a Conditional Sailing Order to prevent the risk of introducing, transmitting, and spreading COVID-19 by cruise ship travelers. As a result, the number of AGE reports submitted to MIDRS in 2020 and 2021 was substantially lower (n=2,667 and n=1,717, respectively), compared to 2019 (n=8,968). The information collected by the VSP is designed to align with and support the collaboration between the cruise ship industry and government to define and reduce health risks associated with vessels and to ensure a healthful and clean environment for vessels’ passengers and crew. The VSP made minimal changes, based on the 2024 experience. VSP amended the numbers to better reflect record submission patterns, while still accounting for potential increases in record counts due to the addition of new ships to fleets and increases in shore-side AGE cases, which leads to increases in cruise ship AGE case counts.

Reporting of Information Using Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin and Airworthiness Concern Sheet

Key Information

Abstract

The FAA sometimes includes a request for voluntary reporting of information (e.g., inspection results, etc.) in SAIBs and ACSs. The inspection results may help the FAA in an ongoing investigation to determine the cause of a specific condition, or whether the condition is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design. We may also require reports if a potential unsafe condition is a result of manufacturing quality control problems. We need these reports to determine the scope of the problem and how adequate the design approval holder’s corrective actions are. As such, each reporting situation is unique. To date, our only means for obtaining reporting information is from design approval holders through 14 CFR § 21.3. We have no other authorized method for notification and collection of information from owner/operators to help in our assessment of a potential unsafe condition. If the FAA is unable to obtain this information, we may need to conduct a directed safety investigation. This is a burden on both the FAA and the owner/operator.

7 CFR Part 235 - State Administrative Expense (SAE) Funds

Key Information

Abstract

This is a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired. This collection expired on January 31, 2026. This information collection is required to administer and operate this program in accordance with the Child Nutrition Act. The program is administered at the State agency level. Reports submitted and records maintained include agreements, financial reports, and the maintenance of accounting records for State Administrative Funds (SAE). The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) administers the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP). FNS originally expected to submit this collection for review before it expired. As such, FNS expected to make two changes to the collection. One was to reduce the number of respondents for the reporting requirement at 235.7(b). The other change adjusts the frequency of the responses for the recordkeeping requirement at 235.7(a). FNS estimated that these changes would reduce the responses and burden hours for this collection.
