Mining and Mining Claims and Non-Federal Oil and Gas Rights, 36 CFR 9, Subparts A and B

Key Information

Abstract

The Organic Act of 1916 (NPS Organic Act) (54 U.S.C. §100101 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to develop regulations for national park units under the Department's jurisdiction. The Mining in the Parks Act (54 U.S.C. §100731 et seq.) directs the Secretary of the Interior to regulate all operations in park units in connection with the exercise of mineral rights on patented and unpatented mining claims. The National Park Service (NPS, we) regulations at 36 CFR Part 9, Subparts A and B, ensure that mining and non-Federal oil and gas activities on units of the National Park System are conducted in a manner consistent with preserving each unit for the benefit of present and future generations. Operators must submit specific information describing their future development plans, including steps to mitigate the impacts, and must not conduct any operations until they have NPS approval.

DC School Choice Incentive Program

Key Information

Abstract

The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, and reauthorized in 2017 by the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act, awarded a grant to Serving Our Children in order to administer scholarships to students who reside in the District of Columbia and come from households whose incomes do not exceed 185% of the poverty line. To assist in the student selection and assignment process, the information collected is used to determine the eligibility of those students who are interested in the available scholarships. Also, since the authorizing statute requires an evaluation, we are proposing to collect certain family demographic information because they are important predictors of school success. Finally, we are asking to collect information about parental participation and satisfaction because these are key topics that the statute requires the evaluation to address. This request makes two small changes to the questions previously approved by OMB. One is to add a question about how the families heard of Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP). The other is to add a check box in section 9 (relating to students with disabilities) pursuant to the competitive grant application instructions. Previously this information collection was approved under OMB #1855-0015. This program and the associated collection were moved to the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education within the Department. As such, it requires a new OMB number that corresponds with the OMB numbers for collections from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. For that reason, we are requesting a new information collection and will discontinue 1855-0015 when this request is approved.

Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) Flying Armed

Key Information

Abstract

In order to allow Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) to fly armed, TSA established a specialized screening process for Federal, State, local, and tribal LEO needing to access the sterile area of the airport when they are going to fly armed. To document such LEO movements, TSA’s specialized screening procedures require the LEO to complete TSA Form 413A, Checkpoint Sign-In Log. This real-time situational awareness is necessary in the event of a contingency on board the aircraft, such as but not limited to, a disruptive passenger, air piracy, or other threat to the safety and security of a commercial aircraft.

Title X Implementation Study

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting 3 years of approval by OMB on a new collection. The Title X Implementation Study will document how organizations funded by the Title X Service Grants program design and implement their program services. The study will document (1) how grantees ensure access to equitable, affordable, client-centered quality family planning services; (2) the steps that Title X grantees take to provide clients from diverse communities with equitable access to affordable, high-quality, client-centered health services; (3) any pivots and/or accommodations to providing care they made in recent years, including during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (4) how they assess their impact. To carry out these objectives, the study team will rely on the following five proposed data sources: (1) a web-based survey of the 2022 cohort of Title X grantees; (2) grantee telephone interviews; (3) in-person or virtual listening visits with clinic administrators, service providers, and community outreach or partner staff at a subset of Title X sub-recipients and service delivery sites; (4) a web-based survey of clients at up to 10 of the sites selected for listening visits; and (5) telephone interviews with subject matter experts. Data collection will begin in fall 2022, pending OMB approval, with the grantee survey and interviews, which will inform selection of sites for the listening visits.

ARP-HCY State Coordinators Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) included an unprecedented $800 million to support the specific needs of homeless children and youth via the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief – Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-HCY) Fund. State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) must use ARP-HCY funds to identify homeless children and youth, to provide homeless children and youth with wrap-around services to address the challenges of COVID-19, and to enable homeless children and youth to attend school and fully participate in school activities. This is a one-time grant program administered as part of the American Rescue Plan. The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) is seeking to understand how funds under this one-time grant program are being used. Specifically, the Department is seeking to learn about the distribution of ARP-HCY funds by SEAs, the characteristics of LEAs receiving funds, and the characteristics of LEAs who chose not to participate in the distribution of funds in each state. Additionally, the Department would like to gather information on how SEAs are using the funds that were set aside at the State level under this program. Information obtained in this survey will be used to inform technical assistance and support provided by the Department and the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE), resources developed by NCHE, and further studies.

Appraisals for Higher-Priced Mortgage Loans

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank Act established a new Truth in Lending (TILA) section 129H, which contains appraisal requirements applicable to higher-risk mortgages and prohibits a creditor from extending credit in the form of a higher-risk mortgage loan to any consumer without meeting those requirements. A Higher-risk mortgage is defined as a residential mortgage loan secured by a principal dwelling with an annual percentage rate (APR) that exceeds the average prime offer rate (APOR) for a comparable transaction as of the date the interest rate is set by certain enumerated percentage point spreads. The rule requires that, within three days of application, a creditor provide a disclosure that informs consumers regarding the purpose of the appraisal, that the creditor will provide the consumer a copy of any appraisal, and that the consumer may choose to have a separate appraisal conducted at the expense of the consumer. If a loan meets the definition of a higher-risk mortgage loan, then the creditor would be required to obtain a written appraisal prepared by a certified or licensed appraiser who conducts a physical visit of the interior of the property that will secure the transaction, and send a copy of the written appraisal to the consumer. To qualify for the safe harbor provided under the rule, a creditor is required to review the written appraisal as specified in the text of the rule and appendix A. If a loan is classified as a higher-risk mortgage loan that will finance the acquisition of the property to be mortgaged, and the property was acquired within the previous 180 days by the seller at a price that was lower than the current sale price, then the creditor is required to obtain an additional appraisal.

CONSOLIDATED LABELLING REQUIREMENTS FOR 49 CFR 565 and 567

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to request approval from OMB for reinstatement with modification of the previously approved information collection titled “Consolidated Labeling Requirements for 49 CFR 565 and 567.” Responding to this collection is mandatory and required by 49 CFR Part 565 and Part 567 for manufacturers of motor vehicles. This ICR covers five information collections. There are four information collections under part 565 and one under part 567. The first information collection in part 565 is the requirement for manufacturers to affix vehicle identification numbers (VINs) to all motor vehicles they produce that conform to specific requirements in part 565. The second information collection in part 565 is the requirement to obtain a manufacturer identifier (or identifiers) to be used to uniquely identify the manufacturer within the VIN of each motor vehicle. The third information collection in part 565 is a requirement for foreign manufacturers to submit to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) their manufacturer identifiers (this requirement does not apply to U.S. manufacturers because NHTSA issues manufacturer identifiers to these manufacturers). The fourth information collection in part 565 is a requirement to submit VIN-deciphering information to NHTSA. There is one information collection under part 567, which requires manufacturers to affix to each vehicle they manufacture permanent labels certifying the compliance of the motor vehicle. The VIN assignment and certification labeling information collections are mandatory, as-needed disclosure requirements and the submission of VIN-deciphering information is a mandatory reporting requirement when a manufacturer creates a new VIN-deciphering scheme (including whenever a manufacturer needs to update or otherwise made amendment to a previously-submitted VIN-deciphering scheme). The information collection for the submission of information necessary to obtain a manufacturer identifier and the requirement to submit manufacturer identifiers to NHTSA (for foreign manufactures) is required on occasion, before a manufacturer starts producing motor vehicles, when a manufacturer starts producing a new vehicle type, or when a manufacturer that has a low-volume manufacturer identifier needs to obtain a high-volume identifier. When NHTSA last received approval for this information collection request, the agency estimated that the annual burden for the information collection request was 60,542 hours and $12,016,260. NHTSA now estimates the annual burden to be 164,016 hours and $33,686,400. This is an increase of 103,474 hours and $21,670,140. The increase is almost entirely a result of NHTSA changing the way it estimates burden. However, a small part of the increase is a result of the additional replica vehicle manufacturers expected to be producing motor vehicles.

Generic Information Collection Plan for Qualitative Consumer Education, Engagement and Experience Information Collections

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law No. 111-203, Section 1013(d), the Bureau’s Office of Financial Education is responsible for developing and implementing initiatives intended to educate and empower consumers to make better informed financial decisions. The Bureau seeks to obtain approval of a generic information collection plan to collect qualitative data on effective strategies and consumer experiences from both financial education practitioners and consumers through a variety of methods, including in-person meetings, interviews, focus groups, qualitative surveys, online discussion forums, social media polls, and other qualitative methods as necessary. The information collected through these processes will increase the Bureau’s understanding of consumers’ financial experiences, financial education and empowerment programs, and practices that can improve financial decision-making skills and outcomes for consumers. This information will also enable the Bureau to better communicate to consumers about the availability of Bureau tools and resources that consumers can use to make better informed financial decisions.

Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (BPEP) Team Leader Consensus and Team Leader Site Visit Information Collections

Key Information

Abstract

The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (BPEP) staff members need to survey the Baldrige Examiners to understand what roles they are willing and able to take on, what travel assignments they can handle, and what input they have on the skills of other examiners and improvements to the processes in which they participate. This evaluative data is the way the program decides which examiner should be elevated to team leadership responsibility and which skills need to be taught at examiner training in the next year. The purpose of the information is to help staff collect data on the skills of the examiners, including master examiners, in order to best manage training and selection. Because the examiner selection process is so competitive, examiners need to demonstrate competencies such as understanding the Baldrige Criteria, team skills, and writing skills. The program also needs to collect peer-based information to understand an examiner’s skill level in order to made decisions on whether the examiner should be elevated to “senior examiner” and therefore team leader. The blinded data is to be shared with the team leader for improvement purposes, and or future assignments.

Sexual Violence Support & Experience Study (SVSES)

Key Information

Abstract

In March 2019, Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan requested the Department of Defense (DoD) to form a team of experts to “take a fresh look” at issues involving the sexual assault investigative and accountability process. The DoD established the Sexual Assault Accountability and Investigation Task Force (SAAITF) to identify, evaluate, and make recommendations to improve the investigation and accountability process. As part of this effort, the 2019 SAAITF report called for a “standardized survey of victim experiences, attitudes, and satisfaction.” The Sexual Violence Support and Experiences Study (SVSES) meets this requirement and will allow the DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO), other DoD policy offices, and the military Services to use the input of military members to inform improvements to the response system and to address challenges military members face during the military investigation and accountability process.
