This request is for an extension of the current information collection 1845-0038 that is expiring. 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.

Abstract

In this final rule, FRA is amending its Safety Glazing Standards for exterior windows on railroad equipment to codify long-standing waivers, add a new testing option to improve consistency of glazing testing, and revise outdated section headings. The changes update and clarify existing requirements to maintain and, in some cases, enhance safety, while reducing unnecessary costs. Codification of the waivers is also consistent with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and will enable FRA to use its inspection resources more efficiently. The collection of information under 49 CFR part 223 is mission critical and allows FRA to promote and enhance rail safety throughout the United States. Specifically, the Safety Glazing Standards regulations contain minimum safety requirements for glazing materials in the windows of locomotives, passenger cars, and cabooses. This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed, and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Abstract

The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA–21) (P.L. 105-178), section 1207(c) [see Attachment I], directed the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study of ferry transportation in the United States and its possessions. In 2000, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Intermodal and Statewide Planning conducted a survey (OMB Approval Number 2125-0584) of approximately 250 ferry operators to identify: (1) existing ferry operations including the location and routes served; (2) source and amount, if any, of funds derived from Federal, State, or local governments supporting ferry construction or operations; (3) potential domestic ferry routes in the United States and its possessions and to develop information on those routes; and (4) potential for use of high speed ferry services and alternative-fueled ferry services. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) Public Law 109-59, Section 1801(e) [see Attachment II] requires that the Secretary, acting through the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), shall establish and maintain (biennially) a national ferry database containing current information regarding routes, vessels, passengers and vehicles carried, funding sources and such other information as the Secretary considers useful. Recently enacted FAST Act [Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (P.L. 114-94, Sec. 1112) - see Attachment IV], continues the BTS mandate to conduct the National Census of Ferry Operators (NCFO) and requires that the FHWA use the NCFO data as input to the specific formula for allocating federal ferry funds ($80 million for 62016 through 2020). The funding allocations are based on a percentage of the number of passenger boardings, vehicle boardings, and route miles served.

Abstract

The Respondents are Air Carriers that operate aircraft with 61 or greater seats and/or, operate an international route. This collection is considered a reporting collection with survey.

The OND data are used by the DOT Office of Aviation Analysis, the FAA, Airports, Airlines, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security and the Public. The purpose of the collection is to determine and analyze where an airline passenger initiated their travels, where their travels ended, and the price that they paid for travel. This is not a revision to the current process Air carriers must report data on one percent of the flight coupons involving large domestic markets, which are defined as major city pairs with directional origin-destination passengers in excess of 35,000 annual passengers.

Abstract

Public Law 116-315, Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020, provided authority for VA's Homeless Programs Office (HPO) to grant funding to eligible organizations that will coordinate or provide legal services to Veterans who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Several sections, including section 4202, of the Act were created to better serve Veterans who are struggling with homelessness or housing insecurity. Requests for funding by applicants are likely to exceed the amount of funding appropriated to the VA for these grants. The VA must collect data to prioritize applicants for funding. The legal authority for this data collection is found under 38 USC, Part I, Chapter 5, Section 527, which authorizes the collection of data that will allow measurement and evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Programs, the goal of which is to improve health care and services for Veterans. This information collection includes grant eligibility criteria, application requirements, scoring criteria, constraints on the allocation and use of the funds, and other requirements necessary to implement this grant program. HPO will use information collected to determine if an applicant is eligible to receive grant funding. HPO also will obtain information necessary to ensure that federal funds are awarded to applicants who are financially stable and have the capacity to conduct the program for which a grant is awarded. HPO could not perform its statutory obligation to administer the program if this data were not collected.

Abstract

FDA intends to issue regulations establishing standards for approved tobacco retailer training programs. In the interim, FDA published a guidance document which is intended to assist tobacco retailers to voluntarily implement effective training programs for employees. Until FDA promulgates regulations, the agency intends to use the lower maximum civil money penalties schedule for all retailers who violate the restriction of the sale and distribution of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products, whether or not they have implemented a training program. FDA may consider further reducing the civil money penalty for retailers who have implemented a training program. Retailers who have received a Complaint for Civil Money Penalties or No-Tobacco Sale Order and who wish to submit evidence that they have a training program in place, for purposes of settlement negotiations only, may do so when filing an Answer to the Complaint.
