Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) Program

Key Information

Abstract

Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) is a voluntary safety program designed to improved aviation safety through the proactive use of flight-recorded data. The purpose is to enable early corrective action for potential threats to safety. 14 CFR 13.401 codifies protection from punitive enforcement action based on FOQA information and requires operators with FAA approved FOQA programs to provide aggregate FOQA data to the FAA. Aggregate FOQA information provided to the FAA is protected from public release under 14 CFR Part 193. Operators will use this data to identify and correct deficiencies in all areas of flight operations. Properly used, FOQA data can reduce or eliminate safety risks, as well as minimize deviations from regulations. Through access to de-identified aggregate FOQA data, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA can identify and analyze national trends and target resources to reduce operational risks in the National Airspace System (NAS), air traffic control (ATC), flight operations and airport operations. The FAA and the air transportation industry have sought additional means for addressing safety problems and identifying potential safety hazards. Based on the experiences of foreign air carriers, the results of several FAA-sponsored studies, and input received from government/industry safety forums, the FAA concluded that wide implementation of FOQA programs could have significant potential to reduce air carrier accident rates below current levels. The value of FOQA programs is the early identification of adverse safety trends, which, if uncorrected, could lead to accidents. A key element in FOQA is the application of corrective action and follow-up to ensure that unsafe conditions are effectively remediated.

Incident Reporting for Automated Driving Systems (ADS) and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for an extension of a currently approved information collection that requires manufacturers of motor vehicles and equipment and operators of motor vehicles to submit incident reports for certain crashes involving Automated Driving Systems (ADS) and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). NHTSA’s Standing General Order 2021-01 (General Order) requires vehicle and equipment manufacturers and operators of vehicles equipped with ADS or Level 2 ADAS to report crashes that meet specified criteria to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This ICR covers the reporting requirements in the General Order with modifications that will be made in response to comments. ADS and ADAS are new technologies that fundamentally alter the task of driving a motor vehicle by automating certain driver inputs (e.g., steering, acceleration, and braking) and decision making (e.g., path following and obstacle avoidance) that would otherwise be left to human control. Given the rapid evolution of these technologies and testing of new technologies and features on publicly accessible roads, it is critical for NHTSA to exercise its robust oversight over potential safety defects in vehicles operating with ADS and Level 2 ADAS. Crashes involving these vehicles have already resulted in multiple fatalities and serious injuries, and NHTSA anticipates that the number of these crashes will continue to grow in the near future given the increased number of these vehicles on the road and the increased number of vehicle and equipment manufacturers in the market. The General Order provides the agency with critical and timely safety data, which assists the agency in identifying potential safety issues resulting from the operation of advanced technologies on public roads. Access to this crash data may show whether there are common patterns in vehicle crashes or systematic problems with specific vehicles or systems, any of which may reflect a potential safety defect. NHTSA requested and received emergency review and approval of this information collection. NHTSA submitted the request on June 29, 2021. On June 30, 2021, OMB granted NHTSA a six-month approval for this information collection and assigned this information collection the OMB control number 2127-0754. NHTSA is seeking a three-year extension of this information collection. When NHTSA submitted its request for emergency review, the agency estimated that the annual burden would be 12,539 hours and $0. NHTSA now estimates the annual burden to be 31,319 hours and $0. This is an increase of 19,046 hours and $0. The changes in burden estimate are a result of information received from reporting entities regarding time spent reporting information under the 6-month emergency clearance, actual reporting volume for five-months, and the change to the General Order to create a new 5-day reporting category (in place of 1-day and 10-day reports in certain circumstances). Adjustments were also made to remove burden time for training and creating accounts (which took place in the first 6 months for current reporting entities). NHTSA also created a new category of burden to account for additional screening time spent by reporting entities to ensure that they are meeting their reporting requirements. The change in burden hours represents a program change resulting in a decrease in burden hours by 8,320 hours and adjustments resulting in an increase of 27,100 hours.

TSA Reimbursable Screening Services Program (RSSP) Pilot Request

Key Information

Abstract

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is collecting this information to meet the requirements of section 225, Division A, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, Pub. L. 116-6 (Feb. 15, 2019; 133 Stat. 13). Under this provision, TSA may establish a pilot for public or private entities regulated by TSA to request reimbursable screening services outside of an existing primary passenger terminal screening area where screening services are currently provided or eligible to be provided under TSA’s annually appropriated passenger screening program. For purposes of section 225, “screening services” means “the screening of passengers, flight crews, and their carry-on baggage and personal articles, and may include checked baggage screening if that type of screening is performed at an offsite location that is not part of a passenger terminal of a commercial airport. The authority available under this section is effective for fiscal years 2019 through 2021 and currently may be used at not more than eight locations for transportation security purposes. TSA is collecting this information as part of a process for public and private entities regulated by TSA to request screening services under the Reimbursable Screening Services Program (RSSP).

Tech Sprints

Key Information

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.

Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards November Launch

Key Information

Abstract

To meet the goals and objectives that demonstrate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPAs) and the Administrations commitment to achieving environmental justice and embedding environmental justice into Agency programs, the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program provides about $600 million in 11 cooperative agreements funding to Grantmakers who will function as pass-through entities for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrants (2 CFR Parts 200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate applications to fund the initial development of community-led environmental justice projects.Emergency Justfication:With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance by October 31, 2024 for six Grantmakers to solicit applications for their first round of subgrants to be launched in October 2024. EPA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the time between the Grantmakers receipt of their funding awards and the launch of their subaward programs (3 months) does not allow sufficient time to obtain PRA clearance using the standard ICR process (which typically takes 6-9 months). Collection of the information requested under this emergency clearance (i.e., applications) is essential for the Grantmakers to have a mechanism for selecting and distributing subaward grants to fund environmental justice projects in underserved communities, thus fulfilling the central objective of the program. The six-month emergency clearance period will cover the first round of subaward applications that will be solicited by six Grantmakers in October 2024. Subsequent rounds of applications for these six Grantmakers will be authorized via a Standard ICR package for the Grantmaking Program that will be submitted for review via the standard ICR approval process.
