Naval Academy Information Program Blue and Gold Officer Application

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is necessary to determine the eligibility and leadership potential of respondents applying to represent the United States Naval Academy as volunteer Blue and Gold Officers. Respondents accepted as Blue and Gold Officers work directly for the Candidate Guidance Officer at the USNA Office of Admissions guiding current and future U.S. Naval Academy candidates through the admissions process Prior military service, current and past military performance, and prior affiliation with the Naval Academy has been found to be an excellent predictor of success as a Blue and Gold Officer. Without this information, the ability for the United States Naval Academy to recruit qualified Blue and Gold Officers would be impacted and would negatively affect the Naval Academy’s ability to recruit qualified candidates.

EPA's ENERGY STAR Product Labeling (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program developed in collaboration with industry to create a self-sustaining market for energy efficient products. The ENERGY STAR label is a registered certification label that helps consumers identify products that meet ENERGY STAR energy performance criteria. To protect the integrity of the label, EPA works to ensure that products carrying the label meet appropriate program requirements. EPA sets criteria for ENERGY STAR products and facilitates the sale of certified products by providing consumers with information about the products. To set criteria for efficient products, EPA analyzes data on the performance of products and works with stakeholders to set criteria based on established processes. EPA partners with retailers, energy efficiency program sponsors (EEPS), service providers and product brand owners who wish to use the ENERGY STAR label to differentiate products as more energy efficient. Partners sign Partnership Agreements that require adherence to logo-use guidelines and program requirements, as well as promotion of ENERGY STAR certified products through product offerings. To have products third-party certified as ENERGY STAR, product brand owner partners are required to have eligible products tested in an EPA-recognized laboratory and certified by an EPA-recognized third-party certification body (CB). EPA maintains an XML-based automated data exchange for CBs to share information with EPA on certified products. To monitor the ongoing performance of products and maintain program integrity, EPA also requires CBs to conduct post-market verification testing of a sampling of ENERGY STAR certified products and share information with EPA on products verified twice a year. For thermostats, there are additional reporting requirements to verify product performance. To monitor progress and support the best allocation of resources, EPA requires partners to submit data on annual shipments of and installations and incentives for ENERGY STAR certified products. Finally, for any ENERGY STAR recognition, EPA may ask Partners to submit applications if they wish to participate.

Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR is for general registration, recordkeeping, and reporting under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program, required by Clean Air Act and implementing regulations in 40 CFR parts 80 and 1090. The RFS program relies upon marketable credits (RINs) to function, which necessitates recordkeeping and reporting to establish type and number of RINs generated, sold, retired, etc. EPA provides the secure systems that respondents use to register, submit compliance reports, and transact RINs, which removes a burden from industry. EPA uses the information to monitor compliance with RFS and to ensure the integrity of the RIN market and to ensure the integrity of the RIN market.

Inclusions to the Section 232 National Security Adjustments to Imports

Key Information

Abstract

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to conduct comprehensive investigations to determine the effects of imports of an article on the national security of the United States. Such investigations can be initiated by an application by an interested party, a request from the head of any department or agency, or self-initiated by the Secretary. Once an investigation is initiated, the Secretary submits a report to the President on whether the importation of the article in question is occurring in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States. The President then determines whether it is necessary to take action to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Several Proclamations have directed the Secretary to create a process for including additional derivative articles within the scope of the new and existing ad valorem tariffs established under Section 232.. These Proclamations broadly authorize the Secretary to include additional derivative articles within the scope of the tariffs unilaterally, or at the request of a producer (or an industry association representing one or more such producers) of such articles or derivative articles within the United States after establishing that imports of said derivative article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security of the United States or otherwise undermine the objectives set forth in the investigations under Section 232 or their associated Presidential Proclamations.

Air Emissions Reporting Requirements (AERR) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the AERR ICR, 55 State and territorial air quality agencies, including the District of Columbia (DC), and an estimated 14 local and tribal air quality agencies, must annually submit emissions data of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10), particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), and ammonia (NH3). The current AERR rule, which can be found at 40 CFR Part 51 Subpart A, defines which emissions sources that State, local, and Tribal (SLT) agencies must submit individually as “point sources.” The point source definitions are different depending on the year, and SLTs report more point sources every third year for the “triennial inventory.” For triennial inventory years, States must also submit point source emissions for Lead (Pb), emissions for stationary nonpoint and some nonroad mobile sources, and they must submit model input data for onroad mobile and nonroad mobile equipment. For mobile sources, California has different requirements because it uses different models, and California must submit emissions (rather than model inputs) for these data categories of the same pollutants listed above. The annual emissions data collected through the AERR are used by the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) to support development of the National Emissions Inventory (NEI). The NEI is more comprehensive for triennial inventory years because they include updates to all data categories. The EPA uses the NEI in developing national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), performing regional and national modeling, providing air quality management support (e.g., State implementation plan (SIP) development) to State agencies and multi-jurisdictional organizations (MJOs), and preparing national trends assessments and other special analyses and reports. Currently, the same reporting mechanisms used for the criteria air pollutants and precursors (CAPs) listed above are also used for voluntary reporting of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and other pollutants. These data are collected by the air agencies for their own purposes, and EPA encourages air agencies to voluntarily provide such data to EPA when it is available.

Current Population Survey (CPS) Basic Demographics

Key Information

Abstract

The CPS demographic data include age, marital status, sex, Armed Forces status, education, race, Hispanic origin, and country of birth. The data are used for subject specific (labor-force and supplement) analytic research, for internal analytic research, for evaluating other surveys, and for selecting other survey samples. The Census Bureau, in conjunction with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is proposing an experimental collection in the Current Population Survey (CPS) of Race and Ethnicity information using the new SPD15 standard. The main goal of the study is to assess the effect of the new race and ethnicity standard (2024 SPD15) on estimates obtained from the CPS. The study will also aid in the implementation of the new standard for interviewer-administered data collections (both in-person and by phone). The study will examine the impact of differences in reporting using the new 2024 standard and the 1997 standard (which CPS currently is using) on race distributions, labor force estimates, weighting, and missing data.

Focus Groups As Used By EPA For Economics Projects (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking approval for a generic information collection request (ICR) for the conduct of focus groups and one-on-one interviews related to economics projects primarily for survey development. Focus groups are groups of individuals brought together for moderated discussions on a specific topic or issue. These groups are typically formed to gain insight and understanding of attitudes and perceptions held by the public surrounding an issue. One-on-one interviews, as the term implies, are individual interviews in which a respondent is generally asked to review materials and provide feedback on their content and design as well as the thought processes that the materials invoke. Focus groups and one-on-one interviews (hereafter referred to collectively as focus groups) used as a qualitative research tool have three major purposes: To better understand respondents attitudes, perceptions and emotions in response to specific topics and concepts; To obtain respondent information useful for better defining variables and measures in later quantitative studies; And to further explore findings obtained from quantitative studies. Through these focus groups, the Agency will be able to gain a more in-depth understanding of the publics attitudes, beliefs, motivations and feelings regarding specific issues and will provide invaluable information regarding the quality of draft survey instruments. Focus group discussions are necessary and important steps in the design of a quality survey.

Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) Survey

Key Information

Abstract

OPM uses the CAHPS results as part of the FEHB Plan Performance Assessment (PPA). The PPA enables a consistent, objective evaluation of carrier performance and also provides more transparency for enrollees. This assessment uses a discrete set of quantifiable measures to examine key aspects of performance in the areas of clinical quality, customer service and resource use. Eight CAHPS measures are part of this discrete set of quantifiable measures. Taken together with more traditional assessments of contract administration, these measures help ensure that enrollees receive high quality affordable healthcare and a positive customer experience. The PPA is linked to carrier profit and premium adjustment factors. FEHB contracts include language to incorporate the PPA as a determinant of the Service Charge or Performance Adjustment.

Application and Reports for Paleontological Permits, 43 CFR 49

Key Information

Abstract

The Paleontological Resources Preservation Act (PRPA) was enacted to preserve paleontological resources for current and future generations because these resources are nonrenewable and are an irreplaceable part of America’s heritage. PRPA requires that implementation be coordinated between the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture and that DOI and USDA issue regulations as appropriate to carry out the law. We (DOI) are proposing regulations to implement the PRPA. The proposed rule would preserve, manage, and protect paleontological resources on BLM, NPS, Reclamation, and FWS lands and ensure that these resources are available for current and future generations to enjoy as part of America’s national heritage. The rule would address the management, collection, and curation of paleontological resources from Federal lands using scientific principles and expertise, including collection in accordance with permits, curation in an approved repository, maintenance of confidentiality of specific locality data, and authorization of penalties for illegal collecting, damaging, otherwise altering or defacing, or sale of paleontological resources. Information collected will allow the DOI bureaus to inventory paleontological resources, implement the permitted collection of fossils from the ground, preserve collected fossils in repositories, track and report the location and condition of paleontological resources, implement the civil penalties provisions with due process considerations, and monitor the results of scientific investigations that involve the use of paleontological resources in both the field and in museum collections.

Establishing That a Tobacco Product Was Commercially Marketed in the United States As of February 15, 2007

Key Information

Abstract

The guidance document provides information on how a manufacturer may establish that a tobacco product was commercially marketed in the United States as of February 15, 2007. A "Pre-Existing" tobacco product is not considered a new tobacco product and thus is not subject to the premarket requirements of the FD&C Act. A Pre-Existing tobacco product may also serve as the predicate tobacco product in a section 905(j) report (intended to be used toward demonstrating substantial equivalence) for a new tobacco product (section 905(j)(1)A)(i) of the FD&C Act( 21 U.S.C. 387e(j)(1)(A)(i))). FDA interprets the phrase "as of February 15, 2007," as meaning that the tobacco product was commercially marketed in the United States on February 15, 2007. The guidance associated with this collection of information recommends that the manufacturer submit information adequate to demonstrate that the tobacco product was commercially marketed in the United States as of February 15, 2007. Examples of such information may include, but are not limited to, the following: dated copies of advertisements, dated catalog pages, dated promotional material, and dated bills of lading.

Semi-annual and Annual Performance Reporting Data Catalog for Formula and Discretionary Grant Programs

Key Information

Abstract

Currently, OVW uses up to 19 individual OMB-approved PDF forms to collect performance and monitoring data from grantees. These forms each collect slightly different data points and may use different questions to collect information about the same activities. OVW is submitting this new information collection request to consolidate existing and previously OMB-approved OVW information collections under a single collection with a new consolidated OMB number. This new collection would simply aggregate and streamline the performance reporting process covered by the 19 approved collections. This request leverages technology to streamline, modernize, and reduce paperwork.
