Abstract

Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Section 311), codified at 31 U.S.C. 5318A, grants FinCEN the authority, upon finding that reasonable grounds exist for concluding that a foreign jurisdiction, financial institution, class of transactions, or type of account is of “primary money laundering concern,” to require domestic financial institutions and financial agencies to take one or more “special measures.” Special measures one through four, codified at 31 U.S.C. 5318A(b)(1)–(b)(4), impose additional recordkeeping, information collection, and reporting requirements on covered U.S. financial institutions. The fifth special measure, codified at 31 U.S.C. 5318A(b)(5), allows FinCEN to impose prohibitions or conditions on the opening or maintenance of certain correspondent accounts. Special measures are safeguards that protect the U.S. financial system from money laundering and terrorist financing. In 2016, FinCEN issued a final rule imposing the fifth special measure to prohibit U.S. financial institutions from opening or maintaining correspondent accounts for, or on behalf of, North Korean banking institutions. The rule requires that U.S. financial institutions take reasonable steps to avoid processing transactions through the correspondent account of a foreign bank in the United States, if such transactions involve a North Korean financial institution, and it requires institutions to apply special due diligence to guard against the use of correspondent accounts by North Korean financial institutions. See 31 CFR 1010.659.

Abstract

The Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (Safety and Soundness Act), as amended by the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008, Division A of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, requires the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to ensure that the operations and activities of each regulated entity foster liquid, efficient, competitive, and resilient national housing finance markets. Recognizing the significant effects that the regulated entities’ potential use of fintech products and innovations could have on the mortgage market and market participants, FHFA has an interest in learning about new and emerging technologies which may have applications in the mortgage space. To obtain information from the public, FHFA plans to conduct a series of competitions called “Tech Sprints.” The Tech Sprints will pose “problem statements” associated with fintech in the housing finance market and solicit innovative solutions from individuals and entities participating in the Tech Sprint. The Tech Sprint solutions will support the Agency in developing strategies for the regulated entities to advance housing finance fintech in a safe and sound, responsible, and equitable manner.

Abstract

These requirements in part 135 are addressed specifically to helicopter air ambulances, often referred to as emergency medical services (EMS), and to on-demand operations including overwater operations. The National Transportation Safety Board recommended several changes following accident investigations. The FAA aims to improve the safety record of helicopter air ambulances through better oversight of their operations. The FAA will use the information it collects and reviews to ensure compliance and adherence with regulations and, if necessary, to take enforcement action on violators of the regulations. Section 44731 of the Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 required the FAA to collect from part 135 certificate holder providing helicopter air ambulance services a report containing the number of helicopters that the certificate holder uses to provide helicopter air ambulance services, the base locations of the helicopters, the number of flights and hours flown by registration number while providing helicopter air ambulance services, the number of flight requests for a helicopter providing air ambulance services that were accepted or declined by the certificate holder and the type of each such flight request (such as scene response, inter-facility transport, organ transport, or ferry or repositioning flight), the number of accidents, if any, involving helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services and a description of the accidents, the number of flights and hours flown under instrument flight rules by helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services, the time of day of each flight flown by helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services, and the number of incidents, if any, in which a helicopter was not directly dispatched and arrived to transport patients but was not utilized for patient transport. Section 314(d) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 amended these reporting requirements for the report to contain the number of helicopters that the certificate holder uses to provide helicopter air ambulance services and the base locations of the helicopters, the number of hours flown by the helicopters operated by the certificate holder, the number of patients transported and the number of patient transport requests for a helicopter providing air ambulance services that were accepted or declined by the certificate holder and the type of each such flight request (such as scene response, inter-facility transport or organ transport), the number of accidents, if any, involving helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services and a description of the accidents, the number of hours flown under instrument flight rules by helicopters operated by the certificate holder, the number of hours flown at night by helicopters operated by the certificate holder, the number of incidents, if any, in which a helicopter was not directly dispatched and arrived to transport patients but was not utilized for patient transport. Essentially, this relieved the requirement for reporting of flight time by individual aircraft and by time of day and now only requires the reporting of the total flight hours, in aggregate, flown by the certificate holder and the number of hours flown at night. The amendment added the requirement to report the number of patients flown by the certificate holder. The requirement for reporting is placed upon the certificate holders via Operations Specification paragraph A021, Air Ambulance Operations—Helicopter. A reporting template is provided to the certificate holders by the Air Transportation Division, Operations Group, 135 Air Carrier Operations Section, AFS-220.

Abstract

This information collection involves both reporting and recordkeeping by Part 142 training centers in order to issue pilot certificates. Some of the information collected in this collection is recordkeeping by Part 142 training centers for information that they collect to be able to issue pilot certificates. Applicants for Part 142 Training Center are required to report the information when submitting an application to the FAA. Existing Part 142 Training Centers are required to maintain records of the information in order to issue pilot certificates. Both the application process and the recordkeeping process for training that has occurred is accounted for in this collection. The training center is required by regulation to collect information and keep records to show trainees are qualified for training, testing, or checking. The information contained in this collection is mandatory as required by the regulations mentioned in number 1 of this collection. The entities who must respond are Part 142 Training Centers. The requirements of this collection are recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The collection frequency is as required and may differ per regulatory requirement. For example, training records of trainee must be kept each time they engage in training. The information would be retained by the certificate holder for inspection by FAA personnel or in the case of certification requests, be presented to the FAA. The information is maintained by the certificate holder and subject to review by aviation safety inspectors (operations), designated to provide surveillance to training centers to ensure compliance with airman training, testing, and certification requirements specified in other parts of the 14 CFR. Information may be reviewed on a periodic basis, and at times of special events such as accidents, requests for certificate or course amendments, and the like. If the information were not collected, inspectors would not be able to determine if airmen who are clients are being trained, checked, or tested to meet the safety standards established in other parts of 14 CFR. To date, FAA inspectors have used the information collected to determine and assess regulatory compliance during routine program surveillance.

Abstract

The National Network of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs) is authorized under Part D of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act of 2000) The DD Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and implement a system of program accountability to monitor the grantees funded under the DD Act of 2000 [Section 104 (a) (42 USC 15004)], including the UCEDDs. Section 154 (e) (42 USC 15064) of the DD Act of 2000 includes requirements for a UCEDD Annual Report. Section 104 (a) (42 USC 15004) of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act) directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and implement a system of program accountability to monitor the grantees funded under the DD Act of 2000. The program accountability system must include UCEDDs authorized under Part D of the DD Act of 2000. Section 154 (e) (42 USC 15064) of the DD Act of 2000 includes requirements for a UCEDD Annual Report. The UCEDD Annual Report should contain information on progress made in achieving the projected goals of the Center for the previous year, including: (1) The extent to which the goals were achieved; (2) A description of the strategies that contributed to achieving the goals; (3) The extent goals were not achieved, a description of factors that impeded the achievement; and (4) An accounting of the manner in which funds paid to the Center under this subtitle for a fiscal year were expended. In addition, the DD Act requires information on proposed revisions to the goals; and a description of successful efforts to leverage funds, other than funds made available under the DD Act. The DD Act also states grantees must report on: (1) Consumer satisfaction with the advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change activities of the UCEDD; (2) The extent to which the UCEDD’s advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change activities resulted in improvements; and (3) The extent to which collaboration was achieved in the areas of advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change. Currently, UCEDDs engage in four broad tasks: conducting interdisciplinary training, promoting exemplary community service programs and providing technical assistance at all levels from local service delivery to community and state governments, conducting research, and disseminating information to the field. There are 67 UCEDDs throughout the United States with at least one or more in every State and Territory, as mandated. This is a revision of a currently approved information collection. While the IC remains the same and is consistent with currently approved data elements, the revisions are specifically designed to include a reporting mechanism to provide information to ACL on their use of funds to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Centers for Disease Control (CDC) funds to expand vaccine access and the Public Health Workforce funds (PHWF) to strengthen the public health workforce.
