Reporting and Recordkeeping for Snowcoaches and Snowmobiles, Yellowstone National Park

Key Information

Abstract

Regulations promulgated at 36 CFR 7.13(l) establish a management framework that allows the public to experience the unique winter resources and values at Yellowstone National Park. These regulations include provisions that allow greater flexibility for commercial tour operators, provide mechanisms to make the park cleaner and quieter than what has been allowed during the previous four winter seasons, reward oversnow vehicle innovations and technologies, and allow increases in visitation. They also require snowmobiles and snowcoaches operating in the park to meet air and sound emission requirements and be accompanied by a guide. In addition, commercial OSV operators are also required to provide a monthly use report and maintain certain records.

Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Regulated Entities by the Agencies

Key Information

Abstract

Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Act) required the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and other Federal financial regulators (together, Agencies and separately, Agency) each to establish an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all Agency matters relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities. The Act also instructed each Agency’s OMWI Director to develop standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by that Agency. The Agencies worked together to develop joint standards (Joint Standards) and on June 10, 2015, they jointly published the “Final Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the Agencies” (Policy Statement). See 80 Fed. Reg. 33016. The Joint Standards contain information collections that fall within the scope of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). First, the Joint Standards include “Practices to Promote Transparency of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion,” which contemplate that a regulated entity makes certain information available to the public annually on its Web sites or through other appropriate communications methods, in a manner reflective of the entity’s size and other characteristics. The specific information referenced in these standards is (a) the entity’s diversity and inclusion strategic plan; (b) its policy on its commitment to diversity and inclusion; (c) its progress toward achieving diversity and inclusion in its workforce and procurement activities; and (d) opportunities available at the entity that promote diversity. Second, the Joint Standards address “Entities’ Self-Assessments,” which contemplate that a regulated entity, in a manner reflective of its size and other characteristics, (a) conducts an annual, voluntary self-assessment of its diversity policies and practices; (b) monitors and evaluates its performance under its diversity policies and practices on an ongoing basis; (c) provides information pertaining to its self-assessment to the OMWI Director of its primary federal financial regulator; and (d) publishes information pertaining to its efforts with respect to the Joint Standards. In order to facilitate the self-assessment and information collection described in the “Entities’ Self-Assessment” Joint Standards discussed above, the OCC developed the “Diversity Self-Assessment Template for OCC-Regulated Entities” (Template). This submission moves to a PDF version of the template from an Excel document.

Operations Specifications, Part 129 Application

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of the collection of information is used to evaluate whether foreign air carriers requesting new authority or with existing authority to operate in the U.S. will be able to conduct their operations safely within the National Airspace System (NAS) and in compliance with international obligations. Operators meeting those standards are issued operations specifications (OpSpecs) authorizing them to operate in the U.S. Consistent with previous practices, FAA includes a regulatory standard for issuing maintenance OpSpecs to persons operating U.S.-registered aircraft outside the U.S. in common carriage. Operators are required to respond, as needed, to the collection to obtain or retain a benefit (OpSpecs). OpSpecs are issued to the operator applying. OpSpecs are not available for viewing to the general public. OpSpecs are available for viewing to FAA offices for the purpose of safety oversight of the operators. FAA occasionally shares OpSpecs information, as needed, with other agencies such as Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Department of Transportation (DOT) or to answer questions from U.S. congress. The FAA requires foreign operators applying for the issuance or amendment of OpSpecs to submit supporting documentation. The type of documentation that a foreign operator needs to provide to the FAA is identified in FAA Order 8900.1 volume 12, which is publicly available . The information is helpful to new applicants as well as existing operators.

Application for Child's Insurance Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Social Security Act (Act) provides for the payment of monthly benefits to children of an insured retired, disabled, or deceased worker. Section 202(d) of the Act discloses the conditions and requirements the applicant must meet when filing an application. An unmarried child who has a parent who is retired or has a disability and is entitled to Social Security benefits, or who has a parent who died after having worked long enough in a job where they paid Social Security taxes, is entitled to receive benefits. An unmarried child can receive benefits if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) the child is younger than 18; (2) the child is a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school (grade 12 or below); (3) the child is age 18 to 19 and attending elementary or secondary school full-time; or (4) the child is age 18 or older with a disability that began before age 22. Under certain circumstances, SSA can also pay benefits to a stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild, or adopted child. Respondents can download and complete Form SSA 4 BK at www.ssa.gov and mail it back to SSA, or they can call SSA to schedule an appointment at the field office, where an SSA employee can interview respondents and enter information into our Modernized Claims Systems (MCS). When applying for benefits for a child, the respondent needs to provide SSA with the following information: (1) the child’s birth certificate or other proof of birth or adoption; and (2) the parent’s and child’s Social Security numbers. Depending on the type of benefit involved, SSA may require other documents for example: if applying for survivors benefits for the child, SSA requires proof of the parent’s death; and if applying for benefits for a child with a disability, SSA requires medical evidence to prove the child’s disability. The SSA representative helping the respondent with their application tells them what other documents they may need, or the respondent can find the information on SSA’s website. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-4-BK to determine entitlement for children of living and deceased workers to monthly Social Security payments. The respondents are guardians completing the form on behalf of the children of living or deceased workers, or the children of living or deceased workers.

Reimbursement of Qualifying Adoption Expenses for Certain Veterans, VA Form 10-10152

Key Information

Abstract

The VA’s authority to provide reimbursement of qualifying adoption expenses for certain covered Veterans is found in Section 236 of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2018, Public Law 115-141 (March 23, 2018) (the “2018 Act”) and Section 235 of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019, Public Law 115-244 (September 21, 2018) (the “2019 Act”), which renewed and extended in nearly identical form Section 260 of the prior authorizing “2017 Act,” Public Law 114-223. VA has eliminated the section in the regulations that specifies an expiration date in order to accommodate Congressional renewal and extension of this authority under subsequent appropriations law. Veterans with a service-connected disability that results in their inability to procreate without the use of fertility treatments are authorized to receive reimbursement for certain adoption-related expenses for an adoption that is finalized after September 29, 2016 (the date the 2017 Act was enacted). To implement this benefit, VA uses VA Form 10-10152, paralleling DD 2675, which requires any Veteran requesting reimbursement of qualifying adoption expenses to submit the same types of evidence as required under similar DoD policy. VA Form 10-10152 was previously approved by OMB through the PRA clearance process, and VA now seeks a three-year extension of that approval of this information collection.
