Voluntary Self-Disclosure of Violations of the Export Administration Regulations

Key Information

Abstract

The information is needed to detect violations of the Export Administration Regulations to determine if an investigation or prosecution is necessary and to reach settlement with violators. Voluntary self-disclosures allow BIS to conduct investigations of the disclosed incidents faster than would be the case if BIS had to detect the violations without such disclosure.

Tribal Budget and Narrative Justification Template

Key Information

Abstract

To receive child support funding under 42 U.S.C. 655(f) and 45 CFR Part 309, tribes and tribal organizations must submit the financial forms described in 45 CFR 309.130(b) and other forms as the Secretary may designate, due no later than August 1 annually. The optional Tribal Budget and Narrative Justification Template helps to improve efficiency and establish uniformity and consistency in the annual budget preparation, submission, and review processes. Tribes use the Excel or Word version of the template to prepare and submit the required financial information. On May 30, 2023, OMB approved the extension of the Tribal Budget Narrative Justification Template (OMB #0970-0548) until May 31, 2026. On February 12, 2024, the Federal Register published the Final Rule for the Elimination of the Non-Federal Share. With the approval of the Final Rule for Elimination of the NFS, tribes no longer qualify for Section 1115 Demonstration Grants. Tribal child support programs can pursue demonstration projects using Section 1115 Waivers to provide a service not ordinarily approved by regulation. As part of their Section 1115 waiver request, tribes must provide a budget describing how they will use the funds. Tribes already must provide an annual budget submission to OCSS for their tribal child support program funds. Most tribes use the Tribal Budget Narrative Justification Template (OMB #0970-0548) in Excel when submitting their annual budget. To reduce the administrative burden for tribes requesting a Section 1115 waiver, OCSS made two small changes to the Excel budget template. The first is to add TAB-5A_1115 WAIVER WORKSHEET where they can include the budget for the waiver. This worksheet is a replica of TAB-5_BUDGET WORKSHEET. The second change is adding lines to each other section headers in TAB-5_BUDGET WORKSHEET that includes the totals from the responding sections from TAB-5A_1115 WAIVER WORKSHEET. This allows the totals from the waiver tab to be included in the annual budget submission totals for a complete award amount.

Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Sighting Reporting Form and Alert Registration Form

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is responsible for tracking the status and distribution of introduced aquatic organisms. The purpose of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Program (NAS) is to monitor and provide information concerning the status, distribution and potential impacts of non-native aquatic organisms in a timely manner for research, management and education. Information is collected from the public regarding the distribution of nonindigenous aquatic species, primarily fish, in open waters of the United States. This information is vital for early detection and rapid response for the possible eradication of organisms that may be considered invasive in a natural environment such as a lake, river, stream, and pond. These species are not native to the environment in which they are now found. Nonindigenous species can and do have negative impacts on our natives species. Early detection is a major focus of the Bureau. The public can help us with this task by serving as the “eyes and ears” for our Program because the USGS cannot possibly be everywhere, observing and monitoring all open waters for nonindigenous aquatic species.

Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category Airplanes

Key Information

Abstract

The information or data collection is mandatory from the DAHs as required by the FAA regulations as specified in item 1. The main purpose of the data collection is for the review by FAA oversight offices of the transport aircraft fuel tank safety level as required by the FAA regulations. The DAHs are required to provide semi-annual reliability reports. The FAA safety oversight offices have reviewed the collected data in order to assess mandatory action to correct any unsafe conditions resulting from poor reliability of the fuel tank flammability reduction means (FRM) and the resulting increased flammability of the fuel tanks on transport category airplanes. This is because high flammability fuel tanks are susceptible to catastrophic fuel tank explosions. These collected data are the fuel tank FRM component reliability reports as specified in item 1. In summary, the FAA requires the DAHs to collect and provide the fuel tank FRM component reliability results for FAA safety review. This is to ensure the fuel tank safety level meets the regulatory requirements specified in item 1.

Office of Education Higher Education Scholarship, Fellowship, and Internship Programs

Key Information

Abstract

The NOAA Office of Education is submitting this non-substantive change request in order to bring the demographic questions in line with SPD-15 and update questions to refer to ‘sex’ instead of ‘gender’. Additionally, references to diversity and inclusion were removed from the Privacy Act Statements. In considering the expanded format for collecting race and ethnicity information, which includes minimum categories, multiple detailed checkboxes, and write-in response areas with example group categories, we determined that such specificity is not required for our purposes. By simplifying the Race and Ethnicity questions to either Figure 2, Race and Ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories Only and Examples, or Figure 3, Race and ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories Only, we can streamline the data collection process and focus on obtaining valuable insights from scholarship, fellowship, and internship participants or alumni. This approach allows us to prioritize the feedback that will directly contribute to improving educational program experiences. Ultimately our goal is to gather meaningful information that will help us better serve our scholars, fellows, and interns and fulfill our mission of conservation education and management.

Inflation Reduction Act Wage Rates and Wage Determinations

Key Information

Abstract

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed H.R. 5376 (P.L. 117-169), a budget reconciliation measure commonly referred to as the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” (IRA). IRA contains several sections that contain some provisions which extend or modify tax credit provisions associated with meeting prevailing wage requirements. The Department created this ICR in coordination with the U.S. Department of Treasury as they issued guidance triggering the availability of enhanced tax provisions for certain energy projects in which prevailing wages (as most recently determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act) are paid and registered apprentices are employed.

Government to Government Services Online Website Registration, Government to Government Services Online Website Account Modification/Deletion Form

Key Information

Abstract

The Government-to-Government Services Online (GSO) web site allows various external organizations to submit files to a variety of SSA systems and, in some cases, receive files in return. The SSA systems that process data transferred via Government-to-Government services include, but are not limited to, systems responsible for disability processing and benefit determination or termination. SSA uses the information from Form SSA-159 (Government-to-Government Services Online Website Registration Form) to register the requestor to use the GSO website. SSA then creates a user’s account based on this information. SSA provides the user with account information and conducts a walkthrough of the Government-to-Government Services website as necessary. Established organizations submit Form SSA-159 to register additional users as well. The requesting organization can also modify its online account (e.g., address change) by completing an online Form SSA-160 (Government-to-Government Service Online Website Account Modification/Deletion Form). Respondents are State and local government agencies and some private sector business entities.

Alaska Beak Deformity Observations

Key Information

Abstract

As part of the USGS Ecosystems mission to assess the status and trends of the Nation's biological resources, the Alaska Science Center Landbird Program conducts research on avian populations within Alaska. Beginning in the late 1990s, an outbreak of beak deformities in Black-capped Chickadees emerged in south central Alaska. USGS scientists launched a study to understand the scope of this problem and its effect on wild birds. Since that time, researchers have gathered important information about the deformities but their cause still remains unknown. Members of the public provide observation reports of birds with deformities from around Alaska and other regions of North America. These reports are very important in that they allow researchers to determine the geographical distribution and species affected. Data collection over such a large and remote area would not be possible without the public’s assistance.

Unified Registration System, FMCSA Registration/Updates

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is a renewal for mandatory reporting which applies to new registrants that are subject to FMCSA’s licensing, registration, and certification regulations. Form MCSA-1 is an interactive, online form that allows users to see and complete only sections that are applicable to their specific operation(s). There is no paper version of Form MCSA-1; users must complete the form online, accessible via the Unified Registration System (URS). Form MCSA-1 requests information to identify the applicant, the nature and scope of its proposed operations, safety-related details, and information regarding the drivers and vehicles it plans to use in U.S. operations. The information on Form MCSA-1 is collected only at initial registration (i.e., it is a one-time collection of information). New registrants seeking initial operating authority with FMCSA must fill out Form MCSA-1. Every interstate and intrastate hazardous material motor carrier operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) is required to register with FMCSA to obtain a USDOT Number. Most for-hire carriers are also required to file a separate application for operating authority. Existing registrants seeking additional authorities must use forms from the OP-1 series, including OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA). New and existing Mexico-domiciled carriers must apply for authority using Form OP-1(MX). FMCSA and the States use registration information collected via Form MCSA-1 to track motor carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and other entities they regulate. Registering motor carriers is essential to being able to identify carriers so that their safety performance can be tracked and evaluated. The data make it possible to link individual trucks to the responsible motor carrier, thus implementing the mandate under 49 U.S.C. 31136(a)(1) to ensure that CMVs are maintained and operated safely. Registration information collected via Form MCSA-1 informs prioritization of the Agency’s activities and aids in assessing and statistically analyzing the safety outcomes of those activities. This ICR renewal request includes an increase in the estimated burden hours and burden cost to respondents and increased cost to the Federal government. The increase in estimated responses and burden hours is a direct result of the increased number of respondents calculated based on the number of new entrants who applied using Form MCSA-1 during calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Experimental Aircraft: Letters of Deviation Authority (LODA)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2004, the FAA established a Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) process for operators who advertise or “hold out” their experimental aircraft for use in training, testing or checking in exchange for compensation. See 69 Fed. Reg. 44771 (July 27, 2004). To obtain a LODA, the operator must submit an application to the FAA that includes airworthiness and maintenance records, and an aircraft-specific training outline at least 60 days in advance of the first training operation. The FAA uses this collection of information to ensure that operators of an aircraft with an experimental airworthiness certificate who broadly offer their aircraft for training, testing or checking follow appropriate safety precautions. Application is made to the FAA electronically by email, fax, in-person delivery, or mail, to the responsible FAA Flight Standards District Office. This requirement applies to the registered aircraft owner seeking to conduct operations through deviation authority, or their agent. Importantly, the LODA requirement in this information collection does not apply to owners (and those affiliated with owners) of experimental aircraft who receive training, testing or checking in their own aircraft. On July 12, 2021, in response to a court ruling, the FAA issued a “Notification of Policy for Flight Training in Certain Aircraft” in the Federal Register (86 FR 36493) that established a shortened, email LODA requirement for owners of experimental aircraft who receive training, testing or checking in their own aircraft. However, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2023 eliminated this requirement. The FAA no longer requires owners of experimental aircraft to apply for a LODA to receive training, testing or checking in their own aircraft.

Website for Frequency Coordination Request

Key Information

Abstract

Submission of a request for FAA frequency coordination is required “on occasion to request and/or continue frequency use” as needed by the proponent. Reporting of this information by respondents is mandatory upon each occasion. The information is used by the FAA Spectrum Engineering and Assignment Organization (AJW-191) to complete the engineering required to adequately evaluate and engineer the proponent’s request. a.) The response to this data collection is required for the proponent to obtain FAA concurrence to use a radio frequency that impacts civil aviation. b.) Those entities who respond to this collection are proponents (individuals, corporations, organizations or agencies) who are seeking to broadcast on a radio frequency within the AAG frequencies as defined by the National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA). c.) The information collected is used for analysis of the impact to aviation only, and the concurrence is disclosed to the requester and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) via the requester. d.) The FCC issued licenses for radio frequency transmission authorization must be renewed typically every 10 years, this requires the proponent to resubmit to the FAA under this collection, to extend the license period, if required every 10 years. Hence, the collection period is five years. e.) Information under this collection from proponents is comprised of technical specifications regarding the radio frequency transmitter (i.e. power, coordinates, signal characteristics, manufacturer) and is placed in the record which is sent to the NTIA and FCC as a part of its license process, along with the engineered frequency and the concurrence number generated by FAA. f.) The information collected through the WebFCR portal supports the engineering, modeling, validation and workflow management of the request to evaluate if the request interferes or impacts civil aviation operations pursuant to FAA Order 6050.32B. g) The record which is sent to the NTIA and FCC as a part of its license process, when approved by NTIA is added to the official Government Master File (GMF) by NTIA, as an official part of its record keeping process. FAA does not retain the information submitted via WebFCR in any FAA data record or information record, but maintains an updated copy of the GMF from NTIA for engineering purposes.

Barrier Failure reporting in oil and gas operations on the Outer Continental Shelf.

Key Information

Abstract

Barrier Failure Reporting in Oil and Gas Operations on the Outer Continental Shelf is a component of BTS's SafeOCS data sharing framework, that provides a trusted, proactive means for the oil and gas industry to report sensitive and proprietary safety information, and to identify early warnings of safety problems and potential issues by uncovering hidden, at-risk conditions not previously exposed through analysis of reportable equipment failures and incidents. Production safety systems, subsurface safety devices, and safety device testing, including safety and pollution prevention equipment (SPPE) each play a vital role in protecting workers and the environment during offshore oil and gas production operations. The SafeOCS SPPE data collection program offers a resource to help the oil and gas industry capture and share key lessons from significant near-miss and other safety events to prevent, identify, and mitigate potential high-consequence risks. Well control equipment (WCE) systems, including BOP equipment, are a secondary well control measure designed to control the flow of well formation fluids and other fluids during oil and gas well operations when primary well control fails. This program area offers a resource to help the oil and gas industry capture and share key lessons from WCE equipment failures to improve safety equipment reliability.

Law School Clinic Certification Program

Key Information

Abstract

Public Law 113–227 (Dec. 16, 2014) requires the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to establish regulations and procedures for application to, and participation in, the USPTO Law School Clinic Certification Program (LSCCP). The LSCCP Program allows students enrolled in a participating law school’s clinic to practice patent or trademark law before the USPTO under the direct supervision of a faculty clinic supervisor. Each clinic provides legal services on a pro bono basis for clients who qualify for assistance from the law school’s clinic. By drafting, filing, and prosecuting patent and trademark applications, students gain valuable experience that would otherwise be unavailable to them while in law school. The program also facilitates the provision of pro bono services to trademark and patent applicants who lack the financial resources necessary for traditional legal representation. In 2020, there were 60 law schools participating. This information collection covers the applications from law schools that wish to enter the program, faculty advisors who seek to become a faculty clinic supervisor, and students who seek to participate in this program. The information collection also includes the required biannual reports from participating law school clinics and biennial renewals required by the program as well as the request to make special under the Law School Clinic Certification Program, which allows a limited number of applications per semester to be advanced out of turn (accorded special status) for examination if the applicant makes the appropriate showing, to provide law students with practical experience as they will be more likely to receive substantive examination of applications within the school year that the application is filed.
