Abstract

The NASA Astronaut Appearance Office (AAO) located at the Johnson Space Center is responsible for vetting, processing, and coordinating logistics for Official NASA Astronaut Appearances. In order to accommodate, authorize, and coordinate requests for appearances, the creation of an information collection about members of the general public or individuals representing organizations that make requests to the Agency for an Official Appearance will be created. This form will collect details of the request and a valid point-of-contact (POC) information for the requestor and will be used by the NASA AAO and Legal and HR personnel in the vetting, coordinating, scheduling, and authorization processes to work with requestors to facilitate the appearance logistics. Typically, appearances are made to high schools and universities, community organizations, businesses and associations, or military organizations.

Abstract

The Office of Community Services (OCS) currently uses a standardized semi-annual reporting format, implemented in 2011 and most recently renewed in 2022 (approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) - OMB No.: 0970-0386). Grant recipients of the Community Economic Development (CED) program are required to use this reporting format, called the Performance Progress Report (PPR), to submit performance data twice a year. OCS uses this data to develop comprehensive performance snapshots on each CED grant, as well as to track program performance over time and to conduct cohort analyses. These reports are also used to inform annual reports to Congress on each project’s performance. The PPR forms collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data elements deal with program outputs and outcomes, while the qualitative questions provide space for grant recipients to discuss their successes and challenges, as well as changes to their grant that might not be captured in the quantitative section. By requiring grant recipients to report on a consistent set of data elements on a regular basis, OCS improves its understanding of grant recipient success, strengthens its understanding and knowledge of each grant recipient’s progress, and ultimately enhances the efficacy and effectiveness of CED grant dollars. Overall, the standardized reporting format increases the quality and clarity of the data collected by OCS, while providing a singular, clear data collection tool for grant recipients. There are no proposed changes to the PPR form, but OCS is requesting to change the frequency in which the reports are submitted. OCS proposes to introduce quarterly reporting for a subset of items to facilitate more frequent monitoring and timely provision of training and technical assistance for grant recipients awarded in fiscal year 2025 and later. Under this request, OCS seeks approval to continue collecting the CED PPR form from all active grant recipients covering activities through the second and fourth quarters of each project year.  Quarterly reporters will also complete a subset of items from the CED PPR, collectively referred to as the CED PPR Short Form.  This subset of items covers project activities carried out during the first and third quarters of each year.

Abstract

Respondents are sUAS operators seeking authorization to fly in controlled airspace under either 14 CFR § 107.41 or 49 U.S.C. § 44809(a)(5) (sUAS operators flying “limited recreational operations” also referred to as “recreational flyers”). Per the regulatory requirements of both operation types, no person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport unless that person has prior authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC). Thus, respondents are required to provide certain information to ATC as part of the application process to gain authorization to fly in controlled airspace. The information includes the respondent’s name, telephone number, email address, and information related to the date, time, place, and altitude of any planned flight operations in controlled airspace. Reporting this information is required for Part 107 and Section 44809 operators to receive authorization to fly a sUAS in controlled airspace. There are no record-keeping or disclosure requirements. There are no record-keeping or disclosure requirements. The information requested from respondents for airspace authorizations and airspace waivers is essential to the FAA’s mission of ensuring safety in the airspace. The FAA is tasked with the exclusive management of airspace in the United States and must issue regulations and control the use of airspace to ensure the safe and efficient use of airspace. Part 107 Airspace Authorizations: The FAA uses the information provided by respondents via either LAANC or the DroneZone web portal for the same purposes and will address each together. LAANC and DroneZone Web Portal The FAA uses this information to evaluate airspace authorization requests submitted under Part 107 and Section 44809. For both user types, the LAANC and DroneZone systems serve as the primary collection mechanisms. LAANC provides near-real-time, fully automated processing for authorization requests that fall within published UAS Facility Maps (UASFMs), while DroneZone enables manual review and approval for requests outside of automated limits or for locations not served by LAANC. Part 107 Airspace Waivers: DroneZone Web Portal The FAA uses information respondents submit via the DroneZone web portal to determine whether each respondent can safely operate the sUAS under the terms of an airspace waiver that authorizes deviation from § 107.41. The FAA reviews and analyzes the information it collects from the respondent to determine the type and extent of the intended deviation from § 107.41. In general, the FAA will issue a certificate of waiver or authorization to the respondent (individuals and businesses) if the proposed operation does not create a hazard to persons on the ground or to other aircraft. If the FAA did not collect this information, the FAA would not be able to grant certificates of waiver from § 107.41 as the FAA uses the information to authorize (or deny) the requested airspace waiver consistent with the FAA’s legal mandate to maintain a safe and efficient airspace.

Abstract

As required at 8 U.S.C. 1522 and reflected in the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR) program regulations at 45 CFR §400.11(c), States must submit to the Director, or designee, a financial status report no later than 30 days after the end of each quarter. The ORR-2 Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) Program Quarterly Report on Expenditures and Obligations serves as this report for the CMA grant. The ORR-2 is a single-page financial report that allows ORR to collect the necessary data to ensure that funds are adequate for the projected need and thereby meet the requirements of both the Refugee Act and ORR regulations. ORR reimburses, to the extent of available appropriations, certain non-federal costs for the provision of cash and medical assistance to refugees, along with allowable expenses for the administration of the refugee resettlement program at the state level. States and Replacement Designees (RD) currently submit the ORR-2, which provides aggregate expenditure and obligation data. The ORR-2 collects expenditures and obligations data separately for each of the four CMA program components: refugee cash assistance, refugee medical assistance, cash and medical assistance administration, and services for unaccompanied refugee minors. This breakdown of financial status data allows ORR to track program expenditures in detail, to anticipate any funding issues and to meet the requirements of ORR regulations at 45 CFR §400.211 to collect these data for use in estimating future costs of the refugee resettlement program. Each year after receipt of its annual appropriation, ORR must implement the methodology at 45 CFR §400.211 to ensure that appropriated funds will be adequate for reimbursement to States for the costs of assistance provided to eligible refugees. The estimating methodology prescribed in the regulations requires the use of actual past costs by program component. If the methodology indicates that appropriated funds are inadequate, ORR must take steps to reduce federal expenses, such as by limiting the number of months of eligibility for Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) and Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA).

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010) as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010) are collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act expands access to insurance affordability programs through improvements in Medicaid eligibility, enrollment simplification, the establishment of Affordable Insurance Exchanges ("Exchanges"), and coordination between Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Exchanges. Relevant to this Statement, the Affordable Care Act promotes a high level of coordination, simplification, and data sharing among State and Federal agencies for the purpose of a seamless and streamlined eligibility system. The Affordable Care Act allows for significant use of Web-based technology to provide information to the public and facilitate application and renewal functions. It creates a "no wrong door" approach to insurance affordability programs so that individuals will not have to apply to multiple programs. Nor will they have to repeat the application process if they initially apply to a program for which they are not ultimately determined eligible. It also provides a simplified process for maintaining coverage through a streamlined renewal process. The provisions of the Affordable Care Act relevant to this Statement are effective January 1, 2014. The proposed requirements for the collection and reporting of information and recordkeeping (collectively known as information collections) generally relate to ensuring data sharing and coordination among State and Federal agencies, recordkeeping efforts among State agencies, and the development of Web-based systems and notices in support of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Abstract

This request is for the continued clearance of data collection and reporting requirements to enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to better assess the effectiveness of discretionary-funded programs included in this information collection request (ICR). The discretionary-funded programs included in this ICR are the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator Grant Program, the Multifamily Housing Budget-Based Service Coordinator Program, and the Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency Service Coordinator Grant Program (ROSS). This proposed collection, titled Standards for Success Reporting, has three key components that improve data collection and reporting for participating programs. First is the standardization of data collection and reporting requirements across programs which increases data comparability and utilization. Second is the ability to report on measurable outcomes and to align them with higher-level agency objectives. And third is the collection of record-level data, instead of aggregate data. Collecting de-identified data at the level of the service recipient allows for more meaningful analysis, improved management, and the ability to demonstrate the progress and achievements of the funding recipients and the programs. Standards for Success accepts data submission by direct data input through the HUD-funded GrantSolutions online data collection and reporting tool (OLDC) and by data file upload, accommodating file formats in Microsoft Excel or Extensible Markup Language (XML).
