Request for Restoration of Entitlement due to Facility Closure, Program of Training or Course Disapproval (Chapter 31 Veteran Readiness and Employment) (VA Form 28-10281)

Key Information

Abstract

VA Form 28-10281 is used by a Service member or Veteran to request restoration of entitlement due to effects of a facility closure or program of training or course disapproval. The VR&E program subsequently uses the information on this form to determine if a Service member or Veteran qualifies for restoration of entitlement under 38 U.S.C 3699 (b)(1)(A). Without the information, restoration of entitlement under Chapter 31 could not be determined. Veterans and Service members are able to access and complete the VA Form 28-10281 by using the VA Forms external website “Find a Form” and submit the completed and signed form one of the following ways: by mail, email to their assigned Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC), in-person to a VA Regional Office, or VR&E out-based location. The Veteran or Service member receives a notification letter if their request for restoration of entitlement is granted or denied by their assigned VRC.

Advance Designation of Representative Payee

Key Information

Abstract

On April 13, 2018, the President signed into law The Strengthening Protections for Social Security Beneficiaries Act of 2018, also known as Pub.L.115-165. Section 201 of the law allows SSA beneficiaries and applicants under Title II, Title VIII and Title XVI, of the Act to designate individuals to serve as a representative payee should the need arise in the future. Section 201(j)(2) of the Act provides the requirements for selecting a qualified representative payee. SSA only offers the option to advance designate to capable adults and emancipated minors. Beneficiaries who have an assigned representative payee, or have a representative application in process, cannot advance designate. Form SSA-4547, Advance Designation of Representative Payee, allows beneficiaries or applicants the option to designate individuals in order of priority, to serve as a representative. Beneficiaries or applicants can update or change the advance designee order of priority at any time. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-4547 to select a qualified representative payee in order of priority. If the selected representative payee is unable or unwilling to serve, or meet SSA requirements. SSA will select another representative payee to serve in the beneficiaries and applicants best interest. SSA will notify beneficiaries annually of the individuals they chose in advance to be their representative payee. The respondents are SSA beneficiaries and claimants who want to choose an advance designate representative.

Incorporation by Reference of Oral Findings of Fact and Rationale in Wholly Favorable Written Decisions

Key Information

Abstract

If an administrative law judge (ALJ) makes a wholly favorable oral decision, including all the findings and rationale for the decision for a claimant of Title II or Title XVI payments, at an administrative appeals hearing, the ALJ sends a Notice of Decision (Form HA-82), as the records from the oral hearing preclude the need for a written decision. We call this the incorporation-by-reference process. In addition, the regulations for this process state that if the involved parties want a record of the oral decision, they may submit a written request for these records. SSA collects identifying information under the aegis of Sections 20 CFR 404.953 and 416.1453 of the Code of Federal Regulations to determine how to send interested individuals written records of a favorable incorporation-by-reference oral decision made at an administrative review hearing. Since there is no prescribed form to request a written record of the decision, the involved parties send SSA their contact information and reference the hearing for which they would like a record. The respondents are applicants for Disability Insurance Benefits and SSI payments, or their representatives, to whom SSA gave a wholly favorable oral decision under the regulations cited above.

Work History Report

Key Information

Abstract

SSA asks individuals applying for disability about work they performed in the past. Applicants use Form SSA-3369, Work History Report, to provide SSA with detailed information about applicant’s jobs held prior to becoming unable to work. State Disability Determination Services evaluate the information together with medical evidence, to determine eligibility for disability payments. The respondents are disability applicants and third parties assisting applicants. 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 0960-0579), we will discontinue the ICR for 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden for these information collections.

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (NCI)

Key Information

Abstract

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) seek to obtain OMB approval to extend the generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery for an additional three (3) years. This information collection activity has garnered qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, to address the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. This generic has provided information about the National Cancer Institute’s customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations, provided an early warning of service issues or focused attention on areas where communication, training, or operations changes might improve product or service delivery. It has also allowed feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides helpful information but does not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population.

Emergency Relief Program (ERP) Phase 1 and Phase 2

Key Information

Abstract

Division B, Title I, of the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 117-43) provides $10 billion for necessary expenses related to losses of crops, trees, bushes, and vines due to weather events occurring in calendar years 2020 and 2021. Eligible disaster events include drought, wildfire, hurricane, floods, derechos, excessive heat, winter storms, freeze (including polar vortex) smoke exposure, and excessive moisture. Losses due to drought are only eligible for assistance if any area of a county was rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as D2 for eight consecutive weeks or D3 or higher level of drought intensity. Similar to the Emergency Livestock Relief Program, ERP will be implemented under two phases. The first phase will leverage crop insurance and NAP claim data; RMA will calculate the ERP benefit for insured producers based on elevated guarantees using the ERP factors as shown in the below table and provide that information to FSA, and FSA will calculate the ERP benefit similarly for NAP producers and then using the data from both RMA and what FSA calculated for NAP, generate a prefilled application that will be sent to identified producers. The application requires little new information from the producer (e.g. shares if not on file), but is important as a clear certification that the loss was a result of an eligible disaster and that the producer agrees to obtain risk management protection in the subsequent two years. This collection covers compliance activities for ERP Phase 1 and Phase 2. The application period has closed and payments were issued prior to the expiration of the approved collection. The compliance activities below will begin after reinstatement.

Rule 17d-1 Applications regarding joint enterprises or arrangements and certain profit-sharing plans

Key Information

Abstract

Section 17(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) (15 U.S.C. 80a-17(d)) makes it unlawful for an affiliated person of or a principal underwriter for a registered investment company (“fund”), or any affiliated person of such a person or principal underwriter, acting as principal, to effect any transaction in which the fund is a joint or a joint and several participant, in contravention of Commission rules. Pursuant to this provision, the Commission adopted rule 17d-1 (17 CFR 270.17d-1) in 1946 and has amended the rule on numerous occasions. The rule contains two filing and recordkeeping requirements that constitute collections of information. First, rule 17d-1 requires funds that wish to engage in a joint transaction or arrangement with affiliates to meet the procedural requirements for obtaining exemptive relief from the rule’s prohibition on joint transactions or arrangements involving first- or second-tier affiliates. Second, rule 17d-1 permits a portfolio affiliate to enter into a joint transaction or arrangement with the fund if a prohibited participant has a financial interest that the fund's board determines is not material and records the basis for this finding in their meeting minutes. These requirements of rule 17d-1 are designed to prevent fund insiders from managing funds for their own benefit, rather than for the benefit of the funds’ shareholders.

The principal function of the Commission’s forms and rules under the securities laws’ disclosure provisions is to make information available to investors. The information on Form F-10 can be used by security holders, investors and others in evaluating securities and making investment decisions with respect to such securities.

Notice of Exempt Preliminary Roll-Up Communication

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 14a-2(b)(4) (17 CF 240.14a-2(b)(4)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) provides an exemption from Exchange Act proxy rules for any solicitation in connection with a “roll-up transaction” (defined in 17 CFR 229.901(c)) in which the holder of a security that is the subject of a proposed roll-up transaction engages in preliminary communications with other holders of securities that are the subject of the same roll-up transaction for the purpose of determining whether to solicit proxies, consents, or authorizations in opposition to the proposed roll-up transaction. The exemption does not apply to a holder of 5% or more of the securities of a class that is the subject of the proposed roll-up transaction who engages in the business of buying and selling limited partnership interests in the secondary market unless that holder discloses such ownership interest and any relations to the parties of the transaction or to the transaction itself, to security holders to whom the communications are made as required by Rule 14a-6(n)(1) (17 CFR 14a-6(n)(1)) and as specified in the Notice of Exempt Preliminary Roll-Up Communication (17 CFR 240.14a-104) (“Notice”). Whether the communication is written or oral, the Notice must be furnished to the Commission. The purpose of the Notice is to provide the public information regarding ownership interests and any potential conflicts of interest of the person engaging in the solicitation.

Form F-1 - Registration Statement

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) was enacted in order to provide full and fair disclosure with respect to publicly offered securities and to prevent fraud in connection with such offerings. The Securities Act carries out this purpose by requiring the filing of a registration statement in connection with public distributions of securities by issuers and their control persons. Schedule A of the Securities Act specifies the general types of information that must be disclosed in registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). The Commission has authority, under Section 19 of the Securities Act, to promulgate rules to carry out the provisions of the Securities Act. Form F-1 (17 CFR 239.31) is a registration form used by foreign private issuers to register the public offering of securities under the Securities Act. Specifically, foreign private issuers may use Form F-1 to register securities offerings for which no other form is authorized or prescribed, except that it may not be used for an offering of asset-backed securities. The information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors in connection with securities offerings by foreign private issuers.

Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP)

Abstract

The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) provides compensation to eligible individuals (requesters) seriously injured by a covered countermeasure administered or used pursuant to a Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2005 (PREP Act) Declaration, or to their estates and/or survivors. The CICP requires the Request for Benefits Package to determine whether a requester is eligible for Program benefits (compensation) for their injury and if applicable, to calculate the amount of program benefits a requester is eligible to receive. The Request for Benefits Package includes the Request for Benefits Form and Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Health Information Form(s), as well as the injured countermeasure recipient’s medical records and supporting documentation. A requester who is an injured countermeasure recipient, the requester’s legal representative, or the estate or survivor(s) of an injured countermeasure recipient is responsible for submitting the Request for Benefits Package, as well as the injured countermeasure recipient’s medical records and supporting documentation.

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.

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.
