Abstract

Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) at all levels submit requests to ATF to trace guns used in crimes. So that ATF may swiftly and accurately provide responsive information on these crime guns, ATF requests LEAs to submit certain information on Form 3312.1 that will aid ATF in tracing the firearm. ATF reports the resulting information only to the requesting LEA and does not create a registry of firearms in the process.

Abstract

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) three-year renewal with change of the information collection titled, “Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks – Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail” under OMB Control No. 2137-0559, which is currently due to expire on November 30, 2026. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has collected information related to transportation by rail car since the creation of the DOT in 1967. This OMB control number was first approved on March 7, 1984, and was initiated as a result of an information collection for the approval of tank cars for Hyrdocyancic Acid Service. This OMB Control Number was broadened on January 17, 1986, to include rail carrier and tank car requirements that contained information collections. The requested change stems from a final rule published on June 24, 2024, titled “Hazardous Materials: FAST Act Requirements for Real-Time Train Consist Information” [HM-263; 89 FR 52956], which require all railroads to generate in electronic form, maintain, and provide to first responders, emergency response officials, and law enforcement personnel, certain information regarding hazardous materials in rail transportation to enhance emergency response and investigative efforts.

This is to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a revision of previously approved information collection titled, “Hazardous Materials Shipping Papers and Emergency Response Information,” under OMB Control No. 2137-0034.

Abstract

The Financial Stability Oversight Council (“Council”) recommended an ongoing collection of repo data in its 2016 Annual Report to Congress and maintained this recommendation in its 2017 Annual Report. The expanded monitoring of the repo market made possible by this proposed collection appropriately meets Council duties and purposes because of this market’s crucial role in providing short-term funding and performing other functions for U.S. markets. The data would also support the calculation of the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”), which was selected by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) as its preferred alternative rate to U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as well as the Broad General Collateral Rate (“BGCR”), helping fulfill another Council recommendation on the creation of alternative reference rates. The collection requires reporting by certain U.S. central counterparties (“CCPs”) for repo transactions. The collection serves two primary purposes: (1) enhancing the ability of the Council and the Office to identify and monitor risks to financial stability; and (2) supporting the calculation of certain reference rates. The collection is used by the Office to improve the Council and member agencies’ monitoring of the U.S. repo market through access to daily transaction data. The collection is also be used by Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) as input into the calculation of the SOFR and BGCR. The Council recognized in prior annual reports that fragilities in LIBOR made the financial system vulnerable to instability and recommended the creation of alternative reference rates such as the SOFR and BGCR , demonstrating the nexus of rate production to financial stability. The Office also uses these data for related duties and purposes as contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Office supports the Council and its member agencies by providing collected data.

Abstract

Under Internal Revenue Section (IRC) 6103(a), returns and return information are confidential unless disclosure is otherwise authorized by the Internal Revenue Code. IRC Section 6103(c), as amended in 1996 by section 1207 of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights II, Public Law 104–168 (110 Stat. 1452), authorizes the IRS to disclose returns and return information to such person or persons as the taxpayer may designate in a request for or consent to disclosure, or to any other person at the taxpayer’s request to the extent necessary to comply with a request for information or assistance made by the taxpayer to such other person. Disclosure is permitted subject to such requirements and conditions as may be prescribed by regulations. Treasury Decision (TD) 9054 contains the final regulations relating to the disclosure of returns and return information to a designee of the taxpayer. The regulations provide guidance to IRS employees responsible for disclosing returns and return information and to taxpayers who wish to designate a person or persons to whom returns and return information may be disclosed. TD 9618 contains final regulations extending the period for submission to the IRS of taxpayer authorizations permitting disclosure of returns and return information to third party designees. Collections of information under Internal Revenue Code section 6103 and this final regulation (26 CFR 301.6103(c)-1), are necessary to make the disclosure requested by a taxpayer. The IRS must collect certain information such as the taxpayer’s name and other identification information, the return or return information to be disclosed, and the identity of the person to whom the return or return information is to be disclosed.
