Abstract

Part 298 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration, establishes a classification of air carriers known as air taxi operators that offer on- demand passenger service. The regulation exempts these small operators from certain provisions of the Federal statute to permit them to obtain economic authority by filing a one-page, front and back, OST Form 4507, Air Taxi Operator Registration, and Amendments under Part 298 of DOT’s Regulations. DOT expects to receive 50 new air taxi registrations and 2000 amended air taxi registrations each year, resulting in 2,050 total respondents. Further, DOT expects filers of new registrations to take 1 hour to complete the form, while it should only take 30 minutes to prepare amendments to the form. Thus, the total annual burden is expected to be 1050 hours. 1. Responding to the collection is mandatory. 2. The entities who must respond are air taxi operators that offer on-demand passenger air service. 3. The collection is a disclosure of information required by 14 CFR Part 298. 4. The collection frequency is determined by changes in the air carrier’s operation. A new form can be filed amending the information previously filed. 5. The information reported includes the name of the air carrier, its mailing address and/or principal place of business, contact information, whether it is an initial or amended filing, type of air service the carrier intends to perform, make and model of aircraft, FAA registration number, passenger seats installed, and whether or not the carrier is a U.S. citizen. 6. The information submitted by the air carrier is received by the DOT/FAA. 7. The purpose of the collection is to determine whether air taxi operations meet the Department’s criteria for an operating authorization under 14 CFR Part 298. It allows small air taxi operators, who generally operate small aircraft, to be relieved of the financial burden of going through the economic fitness process otherwise required by regulation. 8. This is not a revision.

Abstract

To support AHRQ's mission to improve health care through scientific research, HCUP databases and software tools are disseminated to users outside of the Agency through a mechanism known as the HCUP Central Distributor. The HCUP Central Distributor assists qualified researchers to access uniform research data across multiple states with the use of one application process. The HCUP databases disseminated through the Central distributor are referred to as "restricted access public release files"; that is, they are publicly available, but only under restricted conditions. The HCUP Central Distributor Online Reporting System facilitates the HCUP data users with ordering, purchasing, and re-using HCUP databases, including data applications, requesting complementary databases, submitting data re-use and data sharing requests. The website can be found at: https://cdors.ahrq.gov/ The HCUP Central Distributor User Guide provides detailed instructions on how to purchase, protect, re-use and share the HCUP data. This ICR is for the activities associated with the HCUP database application process not the collection of health care data for HCUP databases. Revisions to this ICR include a redesigned HCUP application form and reducing the number of DUAs to one state and one nationwide version.

Abstract

This survey is intended to obtain taxpayer opinions and preferences regarding a taxpayer-funded, government-run service or a free service provided by the private sector as required by Section 70607 Task Force on the Replacement of Direct File which was enacted as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The feedback collected from taxpayers in this survey is a critical input to the Report and will shape the recommendations that are made to Congress.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are requesting approval for OMB Control Number 1545-NEW, Form 15706, Free Online Tax Preparation Feedback Survey under emergency procedures in connection with provisions of sections 70607 of Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One Big Beautifull Bill Act. Section 70607 created a Task Force on the Replacement of Direct File that is directed to issue a report to Congress by October 2, 2025. One of the requirements of the task force is to collect taxpayer opinions and preferences regarding a taxpayer-funded, government-run service or a free service provided by the private sector. To meet this requirement, we will be inviting the public to participate in a brief, anonymous feedback survey. The survey will focus on obtaining taxpayer opinions and preferences about government and private sector free tax filing options. The IRS needs to publish the Free Online Tax Preparation Feedback Survey to obtain taxpayer opinions and preferences regarding a taxpayer-funded, government-run service or a free service provided by the private sector on the Replacement of Direct File. Under this provision The Department of the Treasury, who has delegated the responsibility to the IRS, is required to obtain this feedback from taxpayers for the report that is due to Congress on Oct. 2, 2025. The feedback collected from taxpayers in this survey is a critical input to the Report and will shape the recommendations that are made to Congress. Following normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would not allowed IRS to meet the Statutory requirement as intended. Therefore, due to the extraordinary circumstances and statutory deadlines for implementing the sections 70607, the Treasury and IRS request emergency processing of this information collection request by September 12, 2025. Given the inability to seek public comment during such a short timeframe, IRS also respectfully requests a waiver from the requirement to publish a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment during the period of Office of Management and Budget review.

Abstract

DOL funds the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Evidence Building Portfolio Project programs in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. States and territories use these funds to address the reemployment services needs of Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants and to prevent and detect UI improper payments. DOL’s Chief Evaluation Office contracted with Abt Global and its partners, the W.E. Upjohn Institute, the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), American Institutes for Research (AIR), and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies to develop strategies to support the evidence requirements for the RESEA program as enacted in 2018 amendments to the Social Security Act that permanently authorized RESEA. This Evidence Building Portfolio Project will help DOL establish rigorous and informative evidence standards and support states in conducting evaluations to expand the evidence base on effective RESEA interventions. The evidence standards and new evidence will each help states develop and implement RESEA programs that more quickly and cost-effectively return more claimants from UI back to work. In 2018, Congress and the President enacted the Statute, which included a provision to permanently authorized the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program, which aims to help Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants return to work more quickly. Building on a core set of services, each state designs and implements its own RESEA program model, drawing on rigorous evidence of effective strategies. The Statute describes the need for states to implement evidence-based strategies or to evaluate their current programs to build evidence. To support states’ ongoing RESEA program improvements and evidence building, the US Department of Labor’s Chief Evaluation Office (CEO), in collaboration with the Office of Unemployment Insurance (OUI) in the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), seeks to provide evaluation technical assistance and conduct evidence-building activities to support and complement states’ evaluations. Specifically, this Evidence Building Portfolio Project will continue to provide evaluation technical assistance and build on evidence review activities started under DOL’s previous RESEA Evidence Building and Implementation Study (2018-2023). The current project also includes two new studies aimed to support and supplement state-led RESEA evaluations: the RESEA Impact Study (comprising the Component Study and the Behavioral Study) and the RESEA Cost Study.
