Type 3 Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (BIT3) Competitive Grant Program

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request requires counties owning a bridge structure classified as Type 3 by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and that crosses a water conveyance structure owned by USBR in the 17 Western United States, applying alone or in partnership with other units of local government or Tribal entities, to submit information voluntarily. The purpose of this collection is to improve the condition, safety, and efficiency of county-owned bridges crossing USBR water conveyance structures, thereby protecting water delivery systems and ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable movement of people and goods over these critical crossings. The information will be received by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Examples of the information that would be reported include Standard Forms (such as the SF-424, SF-424C, SF-424D, SF-LLL, and Grants.gov Lobbying Form), a detailed project budget, a project schedule, a detailed statement of work, and the completed BIT3 Competitive Grant Program Application Template (which collects project backgrounds, location coordinates, USBR facility/water conveyance nexus details, USBR and National Bridge Inventory numbers, merit criteria narratives, and project readiness assessments). For successful grant recipients, post-award requirements include semi-annual progress reports, semi-annual Federal Financial Reports (SF-425), and at least two post-award performance measures detailing project outcomes relative to statutory program goals. The frequency of this collection includes a one-time application submission, followed by semi-annual progress and financial reports and periodic outcome measure reporting for successful grant recipients. This is a new information collection request associated with a new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

Notices of Enforcement Discretion (NOEDs) for Operating Power Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion Plants, (NRC Enforcement Policy)

Key Information

Abstract

The NRC’s Enforcement Policy includes the circumstances in which the NRC may grant a NOED. On occasion, circumstances arise when a power plant licensee’s compliance with a Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation or any other license condition would involve an unnecessary plant shutdown or transient. Similarly, for a gaseous diffusion plant, circumstances may arise where compliance with a Technical Safety Requirement (TSR) or other condition would unnecessarily call for a total plant shutdown, or, compliance would unnecessarily place the plant in a condition where safety, safeguards, or security features were degraded or inoperable. In these circumstances, a licensee or certificate holder may request that the NRC exercise enforcement discretion, and the NRC staff may choose to not enforce the applicable TS, TSR, or other license or certificate condition. This enforcement discretion is designated as a NOED. A licensee or certificate holder seeking the issuance of a NOED must justify, in accordance with NRC Enforcement Manual, the safety basis for the request, including an evaluation of the safety significance and potential consequences of the proposed request, a description of proposed compensatory measures, a justification for the duration of the request, the basis for the licensee's or certificate holder’s conclusion that the request does not have a potential adverse impact on the public health and safety, and does not involve adverse consequences to the environment, and any other information the NRC staff deems necessary before making a decision to exercise discretion.

FERC Form No. 561, Annual Report of Interlocking Directorates

Key Information

Abstract

The information the Commission collects with the FERC Form 561 (Annual Report of Interlocking Positions) responds to the FPA requirements for annual reporting of similar types of positions public utility officers and directors hold with financial institution, insurance companies, utility equipment and fuel providers, and with any of an electric utility's 20 largest purchasers of electric energy (i.e. the 20 entities with high expenditures of electricity). The FPA specifically defines most of the information elements in the Form 561 including the information that must be filed, the required filers, the directive to make the information available to the public, and the filing deadline. The Commission uses the information collected by the Form 561 to implement the FPA requirement that those who are authorized to hold interlocked directorates annually disclose all the interlocked positions held within the prior year. The Form 561 data identifies persons holding interlocking positions between public utilities and other entities, allows the Commission to review these interlocking positions, and allows identification of possible conflicts of interest.

FERC-556, Certification of Qualifying Facility (QF) Status for a Small Power Production or Cogeneration Facility

Key Information

Abstract

The data required under 18 CFR Section 131.80 and 18 CFR Part 292 are used by the Commission to determine whether a proposed certification for QF status meets the criteria for a qualifying small power production facility or a qualifying cogeneration facility under its regulations and is eligible to receive the benefits available to it under PURPA. In order to obtain QF status and obtain PURPA benefits, an owner or operator of a small power production or cogeneration facility must follow the process indicated in FERC Form 556 and select, at its option, either the procedure set forth in 18 CFR Section 292.207(a), which requires the submission to FERC of a self-certification or self-recertification, or the procedure set forth in 18 CFR Section 292.207(b), which requires the submission to FERC of an application for Commission certification or recertification. The information requirements for these two processes are largely the same (i.e., the submittal of a completed FERC Form 556 provides the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with FERC’s regulations). If FERC did not collect the FERC Form 556 information, there would be no basis for the Commission to determine whether a facility satisfies the requirements of QF status. Since revocation of the qualifying status of a small power production or cogeneration facility may occur if the facility fails to comply with any of the 18 CFR Part 292 criteria, private financial lenders to small power production and cogeneration power facilities occasionally require small power producers and cogenerators to follow 18 CFR Section 292.207(b) procedures (certification by FERC as opposed to self-certification) in order to reduce the risk of status revocation.

Designation of Fishery Management Council Members and Application for Reinstatement of State Authority

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the establishment of eight Regional Fishery Management Councils to manage fisheries within regional jurisdictions. This collection pertains to several sections of the Magnuson-Stevens Act related to the Councils. Section 302(b) provides for appointment of Council members nominated by State Governors, Territorial Governors, or Tribal Governments and for designation of a principal state fishery official for the purposes of the Act. Section 306(b)(2) provides for a request by a state for reinstatement of state authority over a managed fishery. Nominees for Council membership must provide their State Governor, Territorial Governor, or Tribal Government leadership with background documentation, which is then submitted to NOAA, on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce to review qualifications for Council membership. The information collected with these actions is used to ensure that the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act are being met in regard to Council membership and state authority.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification and Application

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Education (Department) is requesting emergency processing for a revision to an existing information collection. The Department provides this form, 1845-0110 Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification & Application form, which is used by student loan borrowers to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Borrowers complete this form to have their qualifying employment certified and their progress toward forgiveness recorded in our system. They are encouraged to submit this form annually but are only required to submit it at the point that they have reached the requisite 120 qualifying months of repayment. On March 7, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order titled Restoring Public Service Loan Forgiveness (E.O. 14325) making individuals employed by organizations whose activities have a substantial illegal purpose ineligible for PSLF. The Department held public hearings on April 29 and May 1, 2025, and engaged in the negotiated rulemaking process by convening a committee of higher education stakeholders and experts in July of 2025. On August 18, 2026, the Department published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FR 90 FR 40154) and collected public comments on the proposed regulations until September 17, 2025. As explained in the Final Regulations published on October 31, 2025 (90 FR 48966), 34 CFR 685.219(i) required an update to the approved Public Service Loan Forgiveness Certification and Application, OMB # 1845-0110. To comply with E.O. 14325, a revision to the form was made to include the addition of an attestation statement, under penalty of perjury, that the employer has not engaged in any activity that has a substantial illegal purpose on or after July 1, 2026. On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, a Federal judge vacated the rule; one day prior to the rule becoming effective. The Department is now removing the attestation from the PSLF form in order to comply with the court order. No other changes have been made at this time.

Strengthening the Standards for Initial Listing on the Training Provider Registry (TPR)

Key Information

Abstract

FMCSA requests an emergency ICR in order to require the below documentation as part of the initial vetting of new providers and every time a provider adds a new location in accordance with 49 CFR 380.703(a)(7). Documentation and information collected would include: 1. The lesson plans for theory and BTW (range and public road) training curricula, as applicable; 2. Proof of compliant training vehicles (such as meeting the requirement that they be in the same group and type that driver-trainees intend to operate for their CDL skills test), as applicable; 3. Instructor qualification documentation indicating driving and/or training experience, as applicable, for each instructor and copies of commercial driver's licenses and endorsements held by BTW instructors or theory instructors, as applicable; 4. Proof that the provider is licensed, certified, registered, or otherwise authorized to provide training in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of any State where in-person training is conducted; and 5. Documentation detailing what facilities are being utilized for applicable in-person training to comply with 49 CFR 380.709. The documents collected will be reviewed for compliance prior to training providers being listed in the TPR.Emergency Justfication:The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is requesting emergency clearance for the new collection “Strengthening the Standards for Initial Listing on the Training Provider Registry (TPR)” to allow for additional information collection that will strengthen the standards for a training provider’s initial listing on the TPR. FMCSA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because public harm is reasonably likely to result. In this case, the public harm is having noncompliant training providers certifying drivers as meeting the training standards for operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) when those drivers have not done so. Allowing these drivers to operate a CMV presents a safety risk to the public. As part of the Agency’s enforcement processes, training providers who are listed on the TPR may be issued a Notice of Emergency Removal due to fraud, criminal behavior, or willful disregard of the regulations. Many of these bad actors will report hundreds of “completed” theory and behind the wheel training that led to commercial vehicle licenses across the country, despite never conducting the training. Under the current rules covering the TPR, when a provider is issued a Notice of Emergency Removal, they are able to log on to the TPR, self-certify with new training provider information, and thus be listed again on the TPR and continue to perpetuate fraud. If none of the basic information (i.e. email, address) matches the removed provider, these bad actors return under a new name and begin reporting under the same fraudulent, criminal, or willful disregard as was discovered in their original business model until discovered through state non-compliance, operations, or complaints. The only effective way to combat fraudulent behavior and rebuild trust in the TPR is to initiate a proactive approach, rather than a reactive one. As a result, FMCSA initiated a rulemaking project to revise the regulations covering the TPR (RIN 2126-AD00, “Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators: Strengthening the Standards for Initial and Continued Listing on the Training Provider Registry (TPR or Registry) and Behind the Wheel Training”). This NPRM, when issued, will include a number of additional collections of information. However, FMCSA cannot wait for the rulemaking process to begin vetting new applicants to the TPR. Allowing for the regulatory process to conclude would open the door not only for new, non-compliant training programs, but also for previously removed training providers who are able to reincarnate and reapply to the TPR. Thus, FMCSA requests an emergency ICR in order to require the below documentation as part of the initial vetting of new providers and every time a provider adds a new location in accordance with 49 CFR 380.703(a)(7). Documentation and information collected would include: 1. The lesson plans for theory and BTW (range and public road) training curricula, as applicable; 2. Proof of compliant training vehicles (such as meeting the requirement that they be in the same group and type that driver-trainees intend to operate for their CDL skills test), as applicable; 3. Instructor qualification documentation indicating driving and/or training experience, as applicable, for each instructor and copies of commercial driver's licenses and endorsements held by BTW instructors or theory instructors, as applicable; 4. Proof that the provider is licensed, certified, registered, or otherwise authorized to provide training in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of any State where in-person training is conducted; and 5. Documentation detailing what facilities are being utilized for applicable in-person training to comply with 49 CFR 380.709. The documents collected will be reviewed for compliance prior to training providers being listed in the TPR.
