FERC-915, Public Utility Market-Based Rate Authorization Holders – Records Retention Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Department of Energy Organization Act (DOE Act), and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), the Commission regulates the transmission and wholesale sales of electricity in interstate commerce, monitors and investigates energy markets, uses civil penalties and other means against energy organizations and individuals who violate Commission rules in the energy markets, administers accounting and financial reporting regulations, and oversees conduct of regulated companies. The Commission has the regulatory responsibility under section 205 of the Federal Power Act to ensure that wholesale sales of electricity are just and reasonable and provided in a non-discriminatory manner. Due to 18 CFR 35.41(d), the Commission requires all sellers with market-based rates to retain all relevant sales documents for five years. Relevant documents include all information upon which a seller billed the prices it charged for electric energy or electric energy products sold pursuant to seller's market-based rate tariff and the prices it reported for use in price indices. In addition to the five-year record retention requirements previously highlighted, the five-year statute of limitations applies where the Commission seeks civil penalties for violations of the Anti-Manipulation rule or other rules, regulations, or orders to which the price information may be relevant.

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.

FERC-549B, Gas Pipeline Rates: Capacity Reports and Index of Customers

Key Information

Abstract

The FERC-549B covers the various aspects of releasing and acquiring natural gas pipeline capacity that are needed for regulatory oversight and efficient business transactions to occur easily. There are three distinct reporting requirements under the FERC-549B information collection: (1) capacity reports related to firm, released and interruptible transportation service; (2) peak day annual capacity reports; and (3) Index of Customers. The Commission uses the information collected in the FERC-549B to analyze capacity held on pipelines and to ensure that rates for gas capacity are just and reasonable. The FERC-549B allows the Commission to monitor marketplace behavior as well as to detect and remedy anti-competitive behavior. Shippers of natural gas need to use all FERC-549B information about the capacity in pipeline corridors, especially the data related to the value of capacity. Shippers use this information to determine where capacity is available and when as well as to make informed decisions about the capacity they may want to purchase.

Physiological Training Record

Key Information

Abstract

The information collected on the Physiology Training Record is required by students attending aviation physiology training that wish to participate in hypobaric or normobaric hypoxia training. It is reviewed by the training instructor and a member of the Airman Education Program team to ensure those desiring to participate in this training have the necessary aviation medical qualification. Additionally, the “yes” or “no” questions are reviewed to ensure there are no known health issues that would prevent their participation in entering a low-oxygen environment to experience their symptoms of hypoxia. To that end a person that is: 1. “Taking any medications that were not approved at the time of your last FAA medical exam” could mask a health issue or present an unexpected result during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 2. Having “a cold or nasal congestion” could cause problems with equalizing pressure in the ears or sinuses during hypobaric training operations. 3. Having “an ear infection now or…in the past 30 days” could affect the ability to equalize pressure in the ears during hypobaric training operations. 4. Having a “history of significant ear pressure blocks during flying” could be an indicator of an inability to equalize pressure in the ears during hypobaric training operations. 5. Having had a “ruptured eardrum since your last FAA medical exam” could indicate a health risk during hypobaric training operations. 6. Having “any symptoms of upset stomach, gas, or diarrhea” could indicate a health risk of gas expansion during hypobaric training operations. 7. Having had “any operations or been hospitalized within the last 90 days” could indicate a health risk that could be exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 8. Having “been unconscious because of illness or injury within the past 12 months” could indicate a health risk that could be exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 9. Having “had convulsions or been evaluated for possible epilepsy” could indicate a health risk that could be exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 10. Having “had any disease or surgery of the heart or vascular system” could indicate a health risk that could be exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 11. Having “had any disease or surgery of the lungs or chest” could indicate a health risk that could be exacerbated during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 12. Having “participated in scuba diving during the last 24 hours” could increase the risk of decompression sickness during hypobaric training operations. 13. Having “donated blood in the past 72 hours” could result in an accelerated onset of hypoxia and decreased recovery from hypoxia during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 14. Having a “low hematocrit or hemoglobinopathy (such as sickle cell anemia)” could result in an accelerated onset of hypoxia and decreased recovery from hypoxia during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. 15. Having had “altitude sickness or prior problems with hypoxic exposure including chamber flight” could indicate a health risk that could be exacerbated during hypobaric training operations. 16. The “possibility that you are pregnant” could result in an accelerated onset of hypoxia and decreased recovery from hypoxia as well as danger to the unborn baby during hypobaric or normobaric training operations. Any questions resulting in a “yes” answer require a brief explanation to determine if a significant risk exists and if the person should be allowed to participate in dynamic hypoxia training. Although the information is collected, it may not be expected to be disseminated directly to the public, results may be used in scientific, management, technical or general information publications.

Registration of Producers of Drugs and Listing of Drugs in Commercial Distribution

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection supports implementation of requirements related to drug establishment registration and listing governed by section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360), including registrant reporting under section 510(j)(3) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(j)(3)) with respect to listed drugs. Establishment registration information helps FDA identify who is manufacturing, repacking, relabeling, and salvaging drugs and where those operations are performed. Drug listing information gives FDA a current inventory of drugs manufactured, repacked, relabeled, or salvaged for commercial distribution. Data reported by registrants under section 510(j)(3) of the FD&C Act on the amount of listed drugs they annually manufacture, prepare, propagate, compound or process provide FDA with a more comprehensive picture of the drug supply chain, which can inform operational decisions and support the Agency’s efforts to reduce drug shortage risk. This information collection supports agency rulemaking titled “Revising the National Drug Code Format and Drug Label Barcode Requirements.” The rule will standardize the format of National Drug Codes (NDC) assigned under section 510(e) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(e)). This final rule modifies FDA's prescription drug product labeling regulations in 21 CFR parts 201 and 207. We are revising 21 CFR part 207 to establish a uniform, 12-digit format for the NDC (21 CFR 207.33). We are also revising the drug barcode label requirements (21 CFR 201.25) to allow the use of either linear or nonlinear barcodes, so long as the barcode format conforms to certain standards and is recognized by FDA. The rule will require manufacturers, repackers, relabelers, drug product salvagers, and private label distributors of such products to update labels with the new NDC format and require application holders and license holders to report label changes under 21 CFR 314.81, 514.80, or 601.12, respectively.

Rule 19b-4 Filings with Respect to Securities-Based Swap Submissions, Advance Notices and Proposed Rule Changes by Self-Regulatory Organizations and the Security-Based Swap Stay of Clearing Requiremen

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 19b-4, 17 CFR 240.19b-1, under Section 19b-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and requires each self-regulatory organization (SRO) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) on Form 19b-4 any proposed rule, or any proposed change in, addition to, or deletion from the rules of such SRO. The rule is designed to provide the Commission with the information to determine whether a proposed rule change submitted by an SRO is consistent with the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, and to provide information sufficient to elicit meaningful public comment on each proposal. Form 19b-4 also provides the Commission with information, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act), to determine whether a security-based swap is required to be cleared, and whether an SRO’s advance notice of a proposed rule change could materially affect the nature or level of risk presented by the SRO. Form 19b-4 is used for all SRO filings of proposed rule changes, security-based swap submissions, and advance notices.

Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Performance Measurement Information System

Key Information

Abstract

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program is administered by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) within HRSA in partnership with the Administration for Children and Families. MIECHV provides support to all 56 states and jurisdictions, as well as tribes and tribal organizations. State and jurisdiction MIECHV funding recipients report annual demographic and performance data to HRSA through: Form 1 – Demographic Performance Measures; Form 2 – Benchmark Performance Measures. MIECHV funding recipients also report program information on a quarterly basis through Form 4 – Quarterly Data Collection, currently approved under OMB No. 0906-0016. This ICR will now include Forms 1, 2, and 4, so all the components of data collection for the MIECHV Program in one request. OMB No. 0906-0016 will be discontinued after OMB approval of this ICR. The forms will not be renumbered because MIECHV used to have Form 3 and that is no longer part of the data collection. MCHB decided not to renumber the forms because this has been well recognized by all awardees that it’s the quarterly form and renaming to Form 3 might be more confusing at this time.

NRC Form 646, "Formal Discrimination Complaint"

Key Information

Abstract

As set forth under 29 CFR 1614, the EEO complaint process prescribes that when an aggrieved individual believes that they have been discriminated against on the basis of their race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, and pregnancy), national origin, age, disability, genetic information (including family medical history), marital status, parental status, political affiliation, military service, and reprisal and seeks EEO counseling, the assigned EEO Counselor will conduct the pre-complaint (Informal) with the intentions of resolving the complaint within the Agency. At the conclusion of pre-complaint (Informal) process and if resolution was unsuccessful, the EEO Counselor during the final interview with the aggrieved person must discuss what occurred during the counseling process and provide the aggrieved with information to move the matter forward. Pursuant to 29 CFR § 1614.105(c), if the aggrieved individual decides to file a Formal complaint (i.e., NRC Form 646), the EEO Counselor must submit a written report (i.e., EEO Counselors Report) within fifteen (15) calendar days to the SBCR Director or designated official that will contain relevant information about the aggrieved individual, jurisdiction, claims, bases, Responding Management Officials (RMO), witnesses, requested remedies, and the EEO Counselor's checklist. Once received by the NRC, an authorized NRC representative will place the completed NRC Form 646 in a secure folder created specifically for the aggrieved individual within an automated tracking system.

Generic Performance Progress Reports

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to extend approval for data collection under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This overarching generic allows ACF program offices to collect performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a discretionary or non-discretionary award . This information is required under 2 CFR 200.329, monitoring and reporting program performance; 2 CFR 200.301, performance measurement; and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub.L. 111-352, Sec 12). This current request is for an extension for the overarching generic and ongoing generic information collections under the umbrella. ACF programs award funding to provide services and activities that promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities with partnerships, funding, guidance, training and technical assistance. According to HHS TAGGS, in FY 2025, ACF issued a total of $68 billion total in federal financial assistance through $15 billion in 13,251 discretionary awards and $52 billion in federal financial assistance through 11,744 non-discretionary awards. Prior to the use of this generic program-specific PPR, a standard ACF PPR (OMB #: 0970-0406) was used for all ACF discretionary awards and cooperative agreement awards for post award reporting. Historically, the standard ACF PPR form required funding recipients to only respond to a common set of – and more recently just one – broad question(s), which can result in qualitative or incomplete information. This one-size-fits-all approach did not adequately collect the specific data needed for particular grant programs or allow program offices to assess continuous quality improvement for some grant recipients. Different grant programs vary in purpose, target population, and activities. Therefore, a need for program offices to customize performance measurements was identified and the generic program-specific PPR was developed. Non-discretionary funding recipients historically provided performance and progress data through program-specific information collection requests. In 2023, ACF recognized that non-discretionary grant programs would benefit from use of this generic mechanism for collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act and this overarching generic was expanded in scope to also cover non-discretionary funding recipients. ACF program offices have benefited from the ability to create and use a program-specific PPR that is more effective and includes specific data elements that reflect a specific program’s indicators, demographics, priorities, and objectives. As such, this request is to extend approval of the umbrella generic and extend approval of ongoing GenICs currently approved under this OMB number. The proposed purposes and uses of data collection remain consistent. Burden estimates for future GenICs have been reduced in comparison to the current level to reflect an ACF priority to reduce burden associated with information collections.

Student Assistance General Provisions - Subpart K - Cash Management

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a reinstatement without change of the current information collection 1845-0038. This collection pertains to the recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations related to the administration of the Subpart K - Cash Management section of the Student Assistance General Provisions. The regulatory language has not changed. These program regulations are designed to provide benefits to title IV, HEA applicants, and protect the taxpayers' interest. The information collection requirements in these regulations are necessary to provide students with required information about their eligibility to receive funding under the federal student financial aid programs. The collection requirements help prevent fraud and abuse of program funds by allowing students to reduce or reject aid being offered to them as well as being made aware of when funding can be expected to be available.

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of HIV/AIDS Bureau’s RWHAP Part F AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) Program is to strengthen and expand the HIV workforce by increasing the number of healthcare team members who are well-trained and committed to providing HIV care and treatment. The AETC program consists of two groups of grantees, operating under the Part F AETC: National (this collection): Consists of five distinct centers: (1) National AIDS Education and Training Center Support Center (NASC), (2) National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC), (3) National HIV Curriculum (NHC) e-Learning Platform, (4) Integrating the National HIV Curriculum e-Learning Platform into Health Care Professions (NHC-IP) Programs, and (5) HIV Clinical Training Tracks for Primary Care Residents (HTR). The NCCC provides expert guidance to clinicians on HIV testing, prevention (PrEP/PEP), treatment, hepatitis coinfections, perinatal HIV care, and substance use management through a national toll-free call center staffed by HIV experts. The NHC offers comprehensive e-learning modules and tools for HIV prevention, diagnosis, and care, while providing free continuing education credits and resources for healthcare providers. The NHC-IP focuses on incorporating HIV training into medical, nursing, and pharmacy curricula to prepare future healthcare professionals. The HTR initiative develops HIV-focused tracks within primary care residency programs, and the NASC supports workforce training and resource coordination for the AETC program to enhance HIV care delivery. Regional (OMB # 0906-0108): Consists of eight regional AETCs that train health care organizations and team members to care for and treat people with or at risk of HIV through educational events or activities including workshops, didactic presentations, clinical consultation, preceptorships, and other types of training. This data collection package consists of 15 forms; however, each center will be required to submit no more than five forms.
