Formative Research, Pretesting, and Customer Satisfaction of NCI's Communication and Education Resources (NCI)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for OMB to approve an extension for this generic submission for three years. As part of NCI’s mandate from Congress to disseminate information on cancer research, detection, prevention, and treatment, the Institute develops various messages and materials. Testing these messages and materials assesses their potential effectiveness in reaching and communicating with their intended audience while they are still in the developmental stage and can be revised. The formative research and pretesting process thus maximize NCI’s limited dollar resources for information dissemination and education. NCI also must ensure the relevance, utility, and appropriateness of the many educational programs and products that the Institute produces. Customer satisfaction studies help NCI identify modifications necessary to meet the needs of NCI’s various target audiences.

Timely Mailing Treated As Timely Filing

Key Information

Abstract

Section 7502(a) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a document received after the due date for filing will be treated as filed on the date of the United States postmark on the envelope containing the document if the postmark date is on or before the date for filing the document and the document is placed in the U.S. mail on or before the due date. Under I.R.C.

Modernization of Swine Slaughter Inspection

Key Information

Abstract

FSIS requires that establishments operating under the New Swine Slaughter Inspection System (NSIS) monitor their systems through microbial testing and recordkeeping. For each sample on which a microbiological test is conducted, there are two “responses” for the establishment: one response for the actual collecting of the sample and sending it to the laboratory for analysis, and the other for recording the sample result. Under the final rule, large establishments test and record microbiological results for enteric pathogens, at both pre-evisceration and post-chill, 13 times a day; small high-volume establishments, one-time a day; and small low-volume and very small establishments, 13 times a year. FSIS estimates that large establishments would test and record microbial results for the pre-operational environment weekly; small establishments, biweekly; small low-volume and very small establishments, monthly. Furthermore, all swine slaughter establishments operating would have to maintain records that document that the products resulting from its slaughter operations meet the definition of RTC pork products. FSIS also requires that each establishment operating under the NSIS submit on an annual basis an attestation to the management member of the local FSIS circuit safety committee stating that it maintains a program to monitor and document any work-related conditions of establishment workers.

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.

Stress Testing Recordkeeping and Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a rule that revises the FDIC’s requirements for stress testing by FDIC-supervised institutions, consistent with changes made by Section 401 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA). Specifically, the rule amends the FDIC’s existing stress testing regulations at 12 CFR Part 325 to change the minimum threshold for applicability from $10 billion to $250 billion, revises the frequency of required stress tests by FDIC-supervised institutions, and reduces the number of required stress testing scenarios from three to two. The rule also makes certain conforming and technical changes that were previously included in an April 2019 notice of proposed rulemaking that was superseded, in part, by the enactment of EGRRCPA. On May 17, 2012, the OCC, along with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (FRB), published guidance on the use of stress testing as a means to better understand the range of a banking organization’s potential risk exposures. The guidance provides an overview of how a banking organization should structure its stress testing activities to ensure they fit into the banking organization’s overall risk management program. The purpose of the guidance is to outline broad principles for a satisfactory stress testing framework and describe the manner in which stress testing should be used, that is as an integral component of risk management applicable at various levels of aggregation within a banking organization as well as a tool for capital and liquidity planning. While the guidance is not intended to provide detailed instructions for conducting stress testing for any particular risk or business area, it does include descriptions of several types of stress testing activities and how they may be most appropriately used by banking organizations. The guidance also does not explicitly address the stress testing requirements imposed upon certain companies by section 165(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act).

Bus Testing Program

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension without change of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0550 “Bus Testing Program.” There has been no change in the respondent universe or burden hours; nor have there been any programmatic or statutory changes since OMB granted the last PRA approval in 2019. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as no federal funds may be obligated or expended for the acquisition of a new transit bus vehicle unless the bus has met the requirements of FTA's Bus Testing Program. The entities responding to this information collection are transit bus manufactures. The respondents submit bus testing requests to FTA on occasion as new bus models are introduced or there are major changes to an existing bus model previously tested. The information is submitted online via FTA’s bus testing portal. The information submitted to the Altoona Bus Testing facility and FTA’s Bus Testing Manager includes; the bus model, manufacturer information, vehicle details, evidence of manufacturer/vehicle compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, overview of major changes to the vehicle (if applicable), etc. Although there has been no changes to the program, the updated information collection does reflect the increase in cost to the respondents and the federal government as a result of current labor rates for both groups.
