Eligibility Data Form: Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act and Veterans' Preference

Key Information

Abstract

Title 38 U.S.C. Section 4322 of USERRA authorizes the Secretary of Labor (through the Veterans' Employment and Training Service) to investigate claims by individuals who believe their USERRA rights have been violated. The information is used to determine eligibility of veterans complaints to reemployment rights they are seeking as well as to state alleged violations by employers of the pertinent statutes and request assistance in obtaining appropriate reemployment benefits. The Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) of 1998, P.L. 105-339, 112 Stat. 3182, contained in Title 5 U.S.C. § 3330a-3330(b), provides assistance to preference eligible individuals who believe their rights under the veterans' preference (VP) laws and the Veterans Benefit Improvement Act of 2008 (Public Law No: 110-389) have been violated. Section 3 of the VEOA provides the Secretary of Labor similar authority to investigate complaints brought by preference eligibles. The collection instrument completed by claimants contains the information required and needed for the Department to determine initial eligibility of the claimant.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Market Research Study

Key Information

Abstract

This is a generic clearance to conduct customer satisfaction surveys. The need for these surveys arises from Congressional directive that accompanied legislation enacted in 1996, as part of the Debt Collection Improvement Act (Pub. L. No. 104-134), expanding the scope of check recipients required to use direct deposit to receive Federal benefit payments (see 31 U.S.C. 3332). Congress directed Treasury to "study the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of those who currently do not have Direct Deposit and determine how best to increase usage among all groups."

Quarterly Dealer Agenda Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Treasury (Treasury), Office of Debt Management (ODM) conducts the Primary Dealer Meeting Agenda (Agenda), which is a quarterly survey sent to all primary dealers, of which there are currently 23 financial institutions. Primary dealers are trading counter parties of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) in its implementation of monetary policy. Primary dealers are also expected to have a substantial presence as a market maker for Treasury securities and bid on a pro-rata basis in all Treasury auctions. The information in the Agenda is a critical factor to inform ODM’s decision to set the securities’ issuance sizes for the upcoming quarter. In effect, the information provides a market view of borrowing needs for the U.S. government. In addition, aggregate statistics are made public through Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding materials.

Flight Analog Projects (FAP) Crew Selection Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

The NASA Human Research Program (HRP) is responsible for understanding and mitigating the highest risks to astronaut health and performance to ensure that crews remain healthy and productive during long-duration missions beyond low Earth orbit. HRP leverages the talents of researchers within NASA and across U.S. academia to implement a detailed plan for risk reduction, with much of this work taking place aboard the ISS and ground based flight analogs such as the Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA). As NASA prepares to conduct crewed missions in cis-lunar space, on the Moon, and eventually at other locations including MARS, HRP biomedical research and technological development are enabling the Agency to safely send humans into deep space for longer durations. This collection will help to select subjects for the Analog missions for these ground studies and provide opportunities to have wide variety of subject pool.

International Direct Deposit

Key Information

Abstract

SSA's International Direct Deposit (IDD) Program allows beneficiaries living abroad to receive their payments via direct deposit to an account at a financial institution outside the United States. SSA uses Form SSA-1199-(Country) to obtain the direct deposit information for such foreign accounts, and enroll title II beneficiaries residing abroad in IDD. Routing account number information varies slightly for each foreign country, so we use a variation of the Treasury Department's Form SF–1199A for each country. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries residing abroad who want SSA to deposit their benefits payments directly to a foreign financial institution.

All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP)

Key Information

Abstract

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, established a new All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) to provide federal competitive grants for repairing, improving, modifying, retrofitting, or relocating infrastructure of stations or facilities for passenger use, including load-bearing members that are an essential part of the structural frame. Federal funds can also be used for developing or modifying a plan for pursuing public transportation accessibility projects, assessments of accessibility, or assessments of planned modifications to stations or facilities for passenger use or programs of projects in an eligible area. The information collection (IC) request is for an extension without change of a currently approved collection which is due to expire on December 31, 2022. FTA began this information collection in June 2022 under a six-month OMB emergency approval. On September 27, 2022, FTA issued a 60-day Federal Register Notice (FRN) requesting the extension of the approved information collection under the regular Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance process. There were no comments received from that notice. As required, a 30-day FRN requesting public comments followed. There have been no changes to the respondent universe or burden since the initial emergency request. FTA is requesting OMB approval under the normal PRA process for up to three years. This is a voluntary program where recipients submit initial information at the application stage and if funding is received; additional data is required at the project management stage. Information is submitted by eligible recipients for ASAP to include designated recipients that allocate funds to legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems, states (including territories and Washington D.C.) or local governmental entities that operate legacy rail fixed guideway public transportation systems. The information is received online via TrAMS, FTA's transit award and management system. There are no changes to this IC as FTA has not applied any substantive changes or adjustments from the initial assumptions of the emergency approval. FTA plans to announce the first grant recipients of this program in early 2023.

Mandatory Civil Rights Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The collection, use, and reporting of education data is an integral component of the mission of the U.S. Department of Education. The Department has collected civil rights data about the nation’s public schools via the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) since 1968. For school years 2009–10 and 2011–12, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the CRDC as part of the EDFacts information collection (1875-0240). EDFacts, a Department initiative to put performance data at the center of ED's policy, management, and budget decision-making processes for all preschool-grade 12 education programs, has transformed the way in which ED collects and uses data. For school years 2013–14, 2015–16, 2017–18, and 2020–21, the Office for Civil Rights cleared the CRDC as a separate collection from EDFacts while maintaining its transformative data collection policies and practices. As with previous CRDC collections, the purpose of the 2021–22 and 2023–24 CRDCs is to obtain vital data related to the civil rights laws’ requirement that public local educational agencies (LEAs) and elementary and secondary schools provide equal educational opportunity. ED has analyzed the uses of many data elements collected in the 2015–16 and 2017−18 CRDCs and sought advice from experts across ED to refine, improve, and where appropriate, add or remove data elements from the collection. ED also made the CRDC data definitions and metrics consistent with other mandatory collections across ED wherever possible. The Department seeks OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act to collect from LEAs the elementary and secondary education data described in the sections of Attachment A. ED requests that LEAs and other stakeholders review and comment on the proposed changes (detailed in Supporting Statement A, Attachments A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4, and Attachment B), and respond to the directed questions found in Attachment A-5.

Vocational Rehabilitation Provider Claim

Key Information

Abstract

State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies submit Form SSA–199 to SSA to obtain reimbursement of costs incurred for providing VR services. SSA requires state VR agencies to submit reimbursement claims for the following categories: (1) Claiming reimbursement for VR services provided; (2) certifying adherence to cost containment policies and procedures; and (3) preparing causality statements. The respondents mail the paper copy of the SSA 199 to SSA for consideration and approval of the claim for reimbursement of cost incurred for SSA beneficiaries. For claims certifying adherence to cost containment policies and procedures, or for preparing causality statements, state VR agencies submit written requests as stipulated in SSA’s regulations within the Code of Federal Regulations. In most cases, SSA requires adherence to cost containment policies and procedures as well as causality statements prior to determining whether to reimburse the state VR agencies. SSA uses the information on the SSA-199, along with the written documentation, to determine whether or not, and how much, to pay the state VR agencies under SSA’s VR program. Respondents are state VR agencies who offer vocational and employment services to Social Security and Supplemental Security Income recipients.

Assessment of Fees

Key Information

Abstract

The National Bank Act (for national banks and Federal branches and agencies) and the Home Owners’ Loan Act (for Federal savings associations) authorize the OCC to collect assessments, fees, or other charges as necessary or appropriate to carry out the responsibilities of the OCC. The OCC requires independent credit card national banks and independent credit card Federal savings associations (collectively, independent credit card institutions) to pay an additional assessment based on receivables attributable to accounts owned by the national bank or Federal savings association. The OCC requires independent credit card institutions to report receivables attributable data to the OCC semiannually or at a time specified by the OCC. The OCC uses the information to calculate the assessment for each national bank and Federal savings association and adjust the assessment rate for independent credit card institutions over time.

Representative Payee Evaluation Report

Key Information

Abstract

SSA uses the Representative Payee Evaluation Report, Form SSA-624-F5, as a documentation tool for interviews with, and evaluations of, representative payees. SSA requires our field offices (FO) to conduct a face-to-face interview with the representative payee using Form SSA-624-F5 when: (1) SSA finds the payee’s responses on SSA-required annual accounting reports [Forms SSA-623, SSA 6230, and SSA-6234 (OMB No. 0960 0068)] unacceptable, and we cannot resolve them; (2) the payee fails to complete SSA’s initial and second request for an annual accounting report; or (3) assessing the representative payee’s continued suitability. In addition to the representative payee, we also interview the beneficiary or SSI recipient, and custodian (if other than the payee) to confirm information the payee provides, and to ensure the payee is meeting the beneficiary’s or SSI recipient’s current needs (face to-face interview not required). The respondents are individuals or organizations serving as representative payees for individuals receiving Title II benefits or Title XVI payments who fail to comply with SSA’s statutory annual reporting requirement, SSA beneficiaries or recipients, and third-party custodians.

Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS)

Key Information

Abstract

The PABSS projects are part of Social Security’s strategy to increase the number of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who return to work and achieve financial independence and self-sufficiency as the result of receiving support, representation, advocacy, or other services. PABSS provides information and advice about obtaining vocational rehabilitation and employment services; and provides advocacy or other services a beneficiary with a disability may need to secure, maintain, or regain employment. The National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) is a membership organization that holds a contract with Social Security to provide training and technical support to the PABSS grantees. As part of that contract, NDRN maintains a secure, proprietary internet database that grantees use to submit an annual report reflecting services they provide under PABSS funding. Only the PABSS grantees and the contractor have access to the database. The contractor generates each grantee’s report annually, and sends each report, as well as an aggregate report including the total of all services PABSS grantees provide nationally, to the Social Security Contract Officer and to the Contract Officer’s Representative The PABSS Annual Program Performance Report collects statistical information from each of the PABSS projects in an effort to manage and capture program performance and quantitative data. Social Security uses the information to evaluate the efficiency of the program, and to ensure beneficiaries are receiving quality services. The project data is valuable to Social Security in its analysis of and future planning for the SSDI and SSI programs. The respondents are the 57 PABSS project sites, and recipients of SSDI and SSI programs. We are submitting this Change Request to make minor revisions to the SSA-4570 in compliance with E.O. 14151, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB or Bureau) Office of Community Affairs (OCA) is responsible for developing strategies to improve the financial capability of low-income and economically vulnerable consumers, such as consumers who are unbanked or underbanked, those with thin or no credit file, and households with limited savings. To address the needs of these consumers, OCA has developed Your Money, Your Goals, a suite of financial empowerment materials with an accompanying training program. These resources equip frontline staff and volunteers in a range of organizations to provide relevant and effective information, tools, and resources designed to improve the financial outcomes and capability of these vulnerable consumers. The Bureau seeks to renew with changes OMB approval of this information collection which collects qualitative data related to evaluating the effectiveness of the Your Money, Your Goals training program. The collection focuses on evaluating Your Money, Your Goals training practices in enhancing the ability of frontline staff and volunteers to inform and educate low-income consumers about managing their finances. The collection also serves to assess the extent of workshop participants’ execution of follow-on trainings, designed to share Your Money, Your Goals tools and resources with other frontline staff and volunteers, so they can use them with the people they serve. The Bureau expects to collect qualitative data through paper-based and web-based surveys.
