Abstract

Section 313 of the Joseph Maxwell Cleland and Robert Joseph Dole Memorial Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement (Cleland-Dole) Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-328) requires the VA to conduct a study on financial and credit counseling by querying financial and credit counselors, homeless programs providers, and subject matters experts regarding the use of financial and credit counseling services. The intent of this survey is to identify financial and credit counseling needs of Veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness, the financial and credit counseling services offered to these Veterans, the specific barriers that these Veterans have in accessing these financial and credit counseling services, and the effects of financial and credit counseling services on such outcomes as employment, housing status, income, and credit score. The information collected will be used to inform VA policy makers, program managers, and process improvement investigators about how to enhance financial and credit counseling services that are offered to Veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The results of this survey, which will not include personally identifiable information about the individual respondents, will be shared with Congress via a congressionally mandated report. The Veteran Financial and Credit Counseling Services (VFCCS) Survey (VA Form 10-377) has been updated pursuant to Executive Order 14168: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. There are no longer gender options, and the “Gender” field in Question 13 has been changed to “Sex” with only “Female or Male” as choices.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a Federal excise tax on the sale of pistols, revolvers, other firearms, and shells and cartridges (ammunition) sold by manufacturers, producers, and importers of such articles. The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 6001, 6011, and 6302, also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding IRC-based taxes, returns and records, including the mode and time for collecting taxes due. Under this authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53 require respondents who have firearms and/or ammunition excise tax liability to submit a quarterly tax return using form TTB F 5300.26. The information collected on this return is necessary to identify the taxpayer, the amount and type of taxes due, and the amount of payments made. TTB uses the return information to determine whether the taxpayer has paid the correct amount of tax and to take additional action, such as assessment or refund, as necessary.

Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 111 and 38 C.F.R. Part 70, Subpart A, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Beneficiary Travel (BT) Program provides payments for authorized travel expenses to help Veterans and other beneficiaries obtain care or services from VHA and VA authorized non-VA providers in the community. VHA must administer payments according to statutory mandates, including the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) (Public Law 116-117). In compliance with the PIIA and other program requirements, VHA must gather certain information to determine whether BT eligibility and other criteria for approval have been met, and the amount of payment or reimbursement that is authorized under the BT program. Claimants may include Veterans and other BT beneficiaries, and entities or individuals who provided or paid for travel. Claimants may apply for BT reimbursement orally or in writing through VA Form 10-3542 or the Beneficiary Travel Self Service System (BTSSS). This standard collection of information is necessary to enable VHA to provide this benefit and appropriately ensure that funds are being paid to the correct claimant. VA Form 10-3542 has been revised to add intake fields for VHA use only. In the upper right area on page 1, two fields have been added for “Facility ID” and “Claim Received Date.” There are no changes to the estimated numbers of respondents or burden hours

Abstract

The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (“VAWA”) protects qualified tenants, participants, applicants, and affiliated individuals in all HUD-covered housing programs, who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. On November 16, 2016, HUD published a final rule (VAWA Rule) at 81 FR 80724, implementing VAWA’s provisions in its housing programs. The VAWA Rule includes the following Appendices, which entail certain reporting and recordkeeping burdens: (A) Notice of Occupancy Rights Under the Violence Against Women Act; (B) Model Emergency Transfer Plan for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking; (C) Certification of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking, and Alternate Documentation; and (D) Emergency Transfer Request for Certain Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking. Under the VAWA Rule, PHAs, owners, and managers (collectively “Covered Housing Providers” or “CHPs”) Under the VAWA Rule, each CHP must make use of Appendix A and Appendix C, by providing copies of the Notice of Occupancy Rights and the Certification form. Each CHP presented with a claim for continued or initial tenancy or assistance, based on the victim’s status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, may request that the victim document or provide written evidence to demonstrate that the violence occurred, and Certification form is one such way of documenting the violence. Each CHP must also establish an emergency transfer plan, although it need not be modeled on Appendix B. CHPs’ use of an Emergency Transfer Request form, like the model in Appendix D, is also discretionary. CHPs must track and report annually to HUD if they have any Emergency Transfer Requests and outcomes. Finally, under the VAWA Rule, CHPs may opt to provide a lease bifurcation to VAWA-covered individuals.

Abstract

The EPA promulgated the Air Emissions Reporting Requirements (AERR) (40 CFR part 51 subpart A) to coordinate emissions inventory reporting requirements with existing requirements of the Clean Air Act and 1990 Amendments. Under this reporting, 54 State and Territorial air quality agencies, including the District of Columbia, as well as an estimated 31 local and tribal air quality agencies submit emissions data (including mobile model inputs) every 3 years for all point, non-point, on-road mobile, and non-road mobile sources of volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter, particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter, ammonia, and lead. In addition, the air quality agencies must submit annually emission data for point sources emitting at greater than specified levels of those pollutants. The data supplied to the emission reporting requirement is needed so that the EPA can compile and make available a national inventory of air pollutant emissions. A comprehensive inventory updated at regular intervals is essential to allow the EPA to fulfill its mandate to monitor and plan for the attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air quality standards established for criteria pollutants. The EPA makes the inventory available to states for air quality planning and to the public at large. This information is collected under 23 U.S.C. 101; 42 U.S.C 7401-7671q, and the authority of the AERR. This information is mandatory and, as specified, cannot be treated as confidential by the EPA. The number and frequency of data collection and submittal is expected to remain the same for 20222024.Emergency Justfication:EPA is requesting that the previously approved collection be reinstated for a six-month period while OAR prepares and publishes the 60 and 30-day notices necessary to complete a renewal package.

Abstract

This generic clearance covers a variety of surveys that will provide valuable statistics to sponsoring cooperators. These data are needed by the cooperators in time frames that make individual clearances impractical. This generic clearance will go through the regular clearance process at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with a 60-day notice and a 30-day notice as part of the 120-day review period. This generic clearance package describes the general scope of the surveys, their quick turnaround time, their length, size of sample, sample design, and some typical topics. Each individual survey will go into the clearance process with an abbreviated clearance package that will justify the particular content of the survey, describe the sample design, the timeline for the survey activities, and the questionnaire. The review period for each individual survey is approximately 45 days, including a 30-day Federal Register notice period. OMB will provide comments as soon after the end of the 30-day notice period as possible. This generic clearance approval is for a three-year period.
