Abstract

This is to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reinstatement with modification of a previously approved information collection. The collection is mandatory for all domestic and foreign manufacturers, including importers, of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment subject to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS), except for manufacturers of tires. Respondents are required to submit identifying information to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) within 30 days of beginning manufacturing of motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment subject to the FMVSS or 30 days prior to importing motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment. The identifying information consists of the manufacturer’s name, address, and the type and a description of the vehicles or equipment they manufacture. The information is only submitted once unless the information in the original submission needs to be updated. NHTSA uses this information to contact manufacturers and also makes this information available to the general public on a NHTSA website. The purpose of this information is to collect identification information to ensure that NHTSA is able to identify manufacturers and their products and locate the manufacturer if a safety-related defect or noncompliance is suspected or found to exist in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment. This ensures that NHTSA is able to administer and enforce recall of vehicles that do not comply with the FMVSS or contain safety-related defects. NHTSA submitted a request to modify this information collection to OMB on February 12, 2020, in connection with a notice of proposed rulemaking. NHTSA is now resubmitting the request upon the publication of the final rule. The revision of this information collection includes the addition of a new type of regulated motor vehicle. NHTSA estimates that in each of the next three years, ten new replica manufacturers will submit identification information under part 566. This is a reinstatement and, therefore, increases total burden by 352 hours and $0. This is an increase from 131 to 352 hours from when NHTSA last sought approval and is due to an increase in the number of submissions NHTSA expects to receive annually. Additionally, costs have decreased from $3,3930 to $0 because NHTSA is no longer incorrectly including labor costs associated with the burden hours in response to question 13.

Abstract

Extension of this approved collection is requested. Pursuant to the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (MPA) or the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), certain fish products may be excluded from U.S. markets. If certain fish or fish products of a nation are subject to import prohibitions (e.g., harvest of a particulary fishery), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires that other fish or fish products from that nation that are not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by certification of admissibility. A duly authorized official/agent of the applicant’s Government must certify that the fish being imported into the U.S. are of a species, or from a fishery, that is not subject to the import restriction. If a nation is identified under the MPA and fails to receive a positive certification decision from the Secretary of Commerce, products from that nation may be prohibited, and other products not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by certification of admissibility. Likewise, if a nation does not receive a comparability finding for a fishery under the MMPA, products from that nation's fishery may be prohibited and products from other fisheries that are not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by the certification of admissibility.

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.

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed to perform research involving the collection of information from the public as part of a multi-year effort to learn about drivers’ use of camera-based rear visibility systems as compared to their use of traditional vehicle outside mirrors. This research will support NHTSA in evaluating whether to pursue a regulation modification that would permit technologies other than mirrors, such as camera-based visibility systems (sometimes referred to as camera monitor systems (CMS)), for compliance with FMVSS No. 111. The data collections will be performed once to obtain the target number of valid test participants. Study participants will be members of the general public and participation will be voluntary. Participants will include licensed car and/or commercial truck drivers aged 25 to 65, who are healthy and able to drive without assistive devices. Participants will be recruited using print and online newspaper advertisements. Study participation will be voluntary and monetary compensation will be provided. The research will be conducted in two parts. Data collection will begin upon receipt of PRA clearance and will first involve light vehicles, and a second, subsequent part will involve heavy trucks. Participants will drive a production vehicle equipped with a commercially available or prototype camera-based visibility system in place of outside mirrors and a vehicle equipped with an original equipment mirror system. The research will involve track-based and on-road, semi-naturalistic driving experimentation. Vehicles used in testing will be equipped with instrumentation for recording driver eye-glance behavior, as well as vehicle speed, position, steering angle, and turn signal status. Sensors will also be used to determine and record the distances between the test vehicle and surrounding vehicles during testing. Information will be collected over the course of the research through participant recruitment screening questions, observation of driving behaviors, and post-drive questionnaires. Questions addressed to individuals will serve to assess individuals’ suitability for study participation, to obtain feedback regarding participants’ use of the CMS, and to gauge individuals’ level of comfort with and confidence in the CMS performance and safety.

Abstract

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval and three-year clearance for the information collection titled, “49 CFR Part 586, Replica Motor Vehicles.” (OMB Control No. 2127-New). Responding to the collection would be mandatory for all replica vehicle manufacturers and entities seeking to register as a replica vehicle manufacturer. Entities that manufacture replica vehicles or seek to register as a replica motor vehicle manufacturer would be required to respond to the information collection. This information collection involves reporting (registration and annual reporting) and disclosure (labeling) requirements. The registration requirement would be a one-time information collection unless the replica vehicle manufacturer seeks to change the replica motor vehicles it manufactures. The reporting requirement for replica manufacturers would be an annual requirement and the labeling requirements would be met, as required, for each replica vehicle the respondent manufactures. Respondents would provide information about the replica vehicles that they seek to manufacture in its registration requirements and information about the replica vehicles they manufactured in the previous calendar year in the annual reports. The temporary label would alert prospective and actual purchasers of replica vehicles that the vehicle does not conform to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards. NHTSA would receive the registrations and annual reports and replica vehicle consumers will receive the information provided on the temporary labels. This information collection is necessary for NHTSA’s implementation of the replica motor vehicle exemption program. NHTSA will use the registration information in determining whether to approve manufacturers to produce exempted vehicles and to ensure that the manufacturers and the vehicles they intend to manufacture qualify for the exemption program. The annual report will be used for tracking and enforcement purposes and to allow manufacturers to indicate whether they will continue manufacturing exempt replica vehicles. The temporary labels are intended to inform purchasers of replica vehicles that the vehicle does not conform to all Federal motor vehicle safety standards. NHTSA estimates the total burden for this new information collection to be 460 hours and $4,000.

Abstract

VHA Directive 1909 provides policy for the Income Verification (IV) Program. AUTHORITY: 38 United States Code (U.S.C.) 1722; 38 U.S.C. 5317. Title 38 U.S.C. 1722 established eligibility assessment procedures, based on income levels, for determining whether nonservice-connected (NSC) Veterans and non-compensable zero percent service-connected (SC) Veterans, who have no other special eligibility are eligible to receive Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care at no cost. Title 26 U.S.C. 6103 (l)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, and 38 U.S.C. 5317 establish authority for VA to verify Veterans’ gross household income information against records maintained by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) when that information indicates the Veteran is eligible for cost-free VA health care. In accordance with VHA Directive 1909, it is VA policy that the Health Eligibility Center (HEC) is responsible for the Income Verification Program, i.e., verifying NSC and non-compensable zero percent SC Veterans’ gross household income through computer matching activity with IRS and SSA. The social security numbers (SSNs) of all Veterans and their spouses identified in the financial assessment will be verified under the Social Security Number Verification Information Exchange Agreement (IEA), between the SSA and VHA HEC, prior to income matching activity with IRS. If IRS and SSA income matching identifies discrepancies in the Veteran’s self-reported gross household income information that potentially impacts eligibility for VA health care benefits, HEC must independently verify the IRS and SSA income data. If the Veteran’s eligibility for VA health care benefits is changed as a result of the income verification process, HEC will transmit the updated eligibility information to those facilities that provided health services to the Veteran during the applicable income-reporting period. HEC’s Income Verification Division (IVD) sends Veterans and spouses, individual letters to confirm income information reported by IRS and SSA. HEC does not change the Veteran’s copay status until information supplied by IRS and SSA has been independently verified, either by the Veteran or through appropriate due process procedures.

Abstract

The RETAIN Demonstration Projects are a collaborative effort led by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) in partnership with DOL’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). RETAIN—Retaining Employment and Talent after Injury/Illness Network—projects will test the impact of early intervention strategies that improve stay-at-work/return-to-work (SAW/RTW) outcomes of individuals who experience work disability while employed. “Work disability” is defined as an injury, illness, or medical condition that has the potential to inhibit or prevent continued employment or labor force participation. SAW/RTW programs succeed by returning injured or ill workers to productive work as soon as medically possible during their recovery process and by providing interim part-time or light-duty work and accommodations, as necessary. The RETAIN Demonstration Projects are modeled after promising programs operating in Washington state, including the Centers of Occupational Health and Education (COHE), the Early Return to Work (ERTW), and the Stay at Work programs. While these programs operate within the state’s workers’ compensation system and are available only to people experiencing work-related injuries or illnesses, the RETAIN Demonstration Projects provide opportunities to improve SAW/RTW outcomes for both occupational and non-occupational injuries and illnesses of people who are employed, or at a minimum in the labor force, when their injury or illness occurs.

Abstract

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is a trade data processing system that is replacing the Automated Commercial System (ACS), the current import system for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations. ACE is authorized by Executive Order 13659 which mandates implementation of a Single Window through which businesses will transmit data required by participating agencies for the importation or exportation of cargo. See 79 FR 10655 (February 25, 2014). ACE supports government agencies and the trade community with border-related missions with respect to moving goods across the border efficiently and securely. Once ACE is fully implemented, all related CBP trade functions and the trade community will be supported from a single common user interface. To establish an ACE Portal account, participants submit information such as their name, their employer identification number (EIN) or social security number (SSN), and if applicable, a statement certifying their capability to connect to the internet. This information is submitted through the ACE Secure Data Portal which is accessible at: http://www.cbp.gov/trade/automated. Please Note: A CBP-assigned number may be provided in lieu of your SSN. If you have an EIN, that number will automatically be used and no CBP number will be assigned. A CBP-assigned number is for CBP use only. There is a standalone capability for electronically filing protests in ACE. This capability is available for participants who have not established ACE Portal Accounts for other trade activities, but desire to file protests electronically. A protest is a procedure whereby a private party may administratively challenge a CBP decision regarding imported merchandise and certain other CBP decisions. Trade members can establish a protest filer account in ACE through a separate application and the submission of specific data elements. See 81 FR 57928 (August 24, 2016).

Abstract

The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., requires accurate disclosure of the costs, terms, and rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services and remittance transfer services to consumers. Entities offering EFT services must provide consumers with full and accurate information regarding consumers' rights and responsibilities in connection with EFT services. These disclosures are intended to protect the rights of consumers using EFT services, such as automated teller machine (ATM) transfers, telephone bill-payment services, point-of-sale transfers at retail establishments, electronic check conversion, payroll cards, and preauthorized transfers from or to a consumer's account. EFTA also establishes error resolution procedures and limits consumer liability for unauthorized transfers in connection with EFT services. EFTA and Regulation E impose disclosure and other requirements on issuers and sellers of gift cards, gift certificates, and general-use prepaid cards. Further, EFTA and Regulation E provide protections for consumers in the United States who send remittance transfers to persons in a foreign country. On November 22, 2016, the Bureau published a final rule that amends Regulations E, Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, and the official interpretations to the regulations, to provide comprehensive protections for consumers who use “prepaid accounts.” In addition, it modifies general Regulation E requirements to create tailored provisions governing disclosures, limited liability and error resolution, and periodic statements, and adds new requirements regarding the posting of account agreements. Additionally, the final rule amends Regulations E and Z to regulate overdraft credit features offered in connection with prepaid accounts. Federal agencies and private litigants use the records to ascertain whether accurate and complete disclosures of EFT services and other services covered under Regulation E have been provided and other required actions (for example, error resolution and limitation of consumer liability for unauthorized transfers) have been taken. This information will provide the primary evidence of law violations in EFTA enforcement actions brought by the CFPB and other Federal agencies. Without recordkeeping requirements of Regulation E, the Federal agencies' ability to enforce the EFTA would be significantly impaired. Consumers rely on the disclosures required by EFTA and Regulation E to facilitate informed EFT, gift card, and remittance transfer decision making. Without this information, consumers would be severely hindered in their ability to assess the true costs and terms of the transactions offered. Also, without the special error resolution and limitation of consumer liability provisions, consumers would be unable to detect and correct unauthorized transfers and errors in their EFT and remittance transfer transactions. These disclosures and provisions are also necessary for the agencies to enforce EFTA and Regulation E.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles (hereafter referred to as the Printing, Coating and Dyeing Operations NESHAP) were proposed on July 11, 2002, promulgated on May 29, 2003, and most recently amended on August 4, 2004. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOOO. This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by the Printing, Coating and Dyeing Operations NESHAP, including activities to be added based on the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). As part of the RTR for the Printing, Coating, and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not revising the emission limit requirements. The EPA is revising the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOOO. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests (if sources are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance), and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any deviation from an emission limitation (either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit, or an equipment or work practice standard), or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP.
