Abstract

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched Project CHALENG (Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups) for Veterans in 1993 in response to Public Law 102-405, which required VA to make an assessment of the needs of homeless Veterans in coordination with other Federal departments, state and local government agencies, and nongovernmental agencies with experience working with homeless persons. Since 1993, VA has administered a needs assessment in accordance with guidance in Public Law 103-446 and Public Law 105-114. This collection of information is necessary to ensure that VA and community partners are developing services that are responsive to the needs of local homeless Veterans, in order to end homelessness and prevent new Veterans from experiencing homelessness. Over the years data from CHALENG has assisted VA in developing new services for Veterans such as the Homeless Veteran Dental Program (HVDP), the expansion of the Department of Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, the Veterans Justice Programs and Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). In addition community organizations use CHALENG data in grant applications to support services for homeless Veterans; grant applications are for VA, other Federal, local government, and community foundation dollars, which maximizes community participation in serving homeless Veterans. This collection will be a renewal of the collection approved in 2021. No revisions have been made to the questions; however, revisions to the burden hours are based upon the number of respondents in the previous year. The collection consists of two survey forms: one for Veterans (VA Form 10-10161) and one for VA staff members, community homeless providers, and interested community members (VA Form 10-10162). The only difference between the two survey forms are the introductory demographic questions; otherwise the survey is the same for both groups. The CHALENG Survey for Veterans (VA Form 10-10161) 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 3 has been changed to “Sex” with only “Female or Male” as choices.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5175, 5214, and 5362 authorizes exporters (other than proprietors of distilled spirits plants or bonded wine premises) to withdraw distilled spirits and wine, without payment of tax, for export, use on certain vessels or aircraft, transfer to a foreign trade zone, or transfer to a customs bonded warehouse pending exportation, subject to such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that IRC authority, to protect the revenue and provide exporters with a degree of flexibility based on individual need, the TTB alcohol export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow exporters to file either a specific bond using TTB F 5100.25 to cover a single export shipment or a continuing bond using TTB F 5100.30 to cover export shipments made from time to time.

Abstract

This substantive change request affects how data are collected for peanut prices paid for seed. The Peanut Prices Surveys provide a detailed picture of the peanut prices paid for both seed as well as peanut prices received by producers. These are collected by two separate surveys, with peanut seed prices being obtained from various sources, such as dealers, administrative data, and growers. NASS proposes to consolidate the two surveys into one for ease of data collection as well as provide a more reliable population for reporting peanut seed prices, since the main source of peanut seed prices in administrative data are the peanut seed growers.

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.

The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approves a revision of a currently approved collection titled, “Part 73, Subpart F, International Broadcast Stations,” under OMB Control Number 3060-1035 for three years. The Commission has updated the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) to allow for filing of electronic forms directly into the system through an integrated web-based program with fillable fields. The integrated web-based program requires the use of an FCC Registration Number (FRN) and includes support for Form 309-IBFS, 310-IBFS, and 311-IBFS. The new system also includes a standardized form to file frequency requests, Form 426, and a form file requests to test programming, which were previously done through email correspondence and approved as part of this collection. Applicants will be required to submit these forms through the integrated web-based program. Filing through the web-based program will reduce the burden hours on the on applicants. Therefore, this information collection is being revised to reflect the new form format for Forms 309-IBFS, 310-IBFS and 311-IBFS, the new Form 426, the new Form 427, and changes in costs associated with the automated functions of the forms. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reason behind this change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

Abstract

The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to establish mandatory electronic filing of System Security and Integrity Policies and Procedures (SSI Plans) by covered entities under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) through the new CALEA Electronic Filing System (CEFS) (OMB Control No. 3060-0809). CEFS requires users to register with and use the Commission Registration System (OMB Control Nos. 3060-0917 and 3060-0918) and to electronically file Requests for Confidential Treatment (OMB Control No. 3060-0862). When mandatory electronic filing becomes effective, SSI Plans will be required to be submitted electronically through CEFS: https://www.fcc.gov/cefs. When mandatory electronic filing becomes effective, paper versions of SSI Plans will no longer be accepted. Section 1.20005 of the Commission’s rules will be updated to reflect this change. Other than mandatory electronic filing, there are no other changes to this information collection. PSHSB issued the order to amend section 1.20005 to establish mandatory filing and the new rule will become effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. This information that applicants (entities) submit on FCC Form 161 is used to change or update information in the CORES system for entity's name, address, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), telephone number, email, fax, contact representative address, telephone number, email and fax. The Commission Registration System (CORES) assigns each entity doing business with the Commission a FCC Registration Number (FRN). The FRN is used to collect and to report any delinquent amounts arising from such applicant's (entity's) relationship with the FCC. The respondents are anyone doing business with the FCC. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reasoning behind this submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

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

Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act specifically requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or “Commission”) to establish certain standards for the registration and governance of swap data repositories (“SDRs”), including regulations regarding SDRs reporting data to the Commission and to the public. In addition to implementing standards governing registration of and statutory duties applicable to SDRs, the CFTC is also required to adopt regulations that mitigate certain conflicts of interest in the operation of these entities and ensure appropriate levels of access by the Commission and certain other regulators to the data maintained by SDRs. The information from this collection is necessary for the Commission to perform its regulatory mandate to provide oversight of the markets and SDRs. Without accurate reporting of the data as set forth in the Commission’s regulations discussed in this statement, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its regulatory mandate of monitoring systemic risk.
