Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Paper and Other Web Coating apply to existing facilities and new paper and to other web coating facilities, including web coating lines engaged in the coating of metal webs used in flexible packaging, and web coating lines engaged in the coating of fabric substrates for use in pressure sensitive tape and abrasive materials. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, 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 startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, 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 NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJJ.

Abstract

This information collection supports implementation of sections 351 and 361 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 262 and 264) and certain drug provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), regarding xenotransplantation. As set forth in the “PHS Guideline on Infectious Disease Issues in Xenotransplantation,” guidelines were developed by the Public Health Service (PHS) to identify general principles for the prevention and control of infectious diseases associated with xenotransplantation that may pose a risk to public health. The PHS guideline recommends procedures to diminish the risk of transmission of infectious agents to the xenotransplantation product recipient and to the general public.

Abstract

he information collected serves to identify and develop safety countermeasures that will reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. These Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies -- Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI), and Special Studies -- involve voluntary information collections through which NHTSA collects detailed data on real world motor vehicle crashes. Specifically, these systems collect data, on vehicle safety system performance, occupant injury information including their kinematic interaction with interior components and scene geometry, marking and traffic controls. Respondents are police agencies that collection information on police-reported motor vehicle crashes, employees of tow yards where crashed vehicles are stored, people involved in these crashes, and hospitals with medical records for the people injured in the crash. For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash technicians or investigators locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash information, such as parents for minor, or a parent or spouse for decreased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information received from various medical data sources. These information collections support NHTSA’s mission to save lives and prevent injuries due to traffic crashes. The data collected from these systems are used to describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of serious motor vehicle crashes in the United States. Additionally, these data are used by NHTSA to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their injury outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations, that reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58), also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of the BIL authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISS by, among other things, including additional data collection sites. In the 60-day notice NHTSA published on January 26, 2022 (87 FR 4099), NHTSA estimated that there would be 32 data collection sites in each of the next three years. As a result of the additional funding provided by the BIL, NHTSA now plans to phase in 24 additional data collection sites in CISS over the next 3 years. NHTSA is now accounting for the increases in burden hours for interviewees, Police, Tow Yards and Medical Facilities for an additional 24 data collection sites. The total data collection sites will incrementally increase from 32 to 56 over the next three years. The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of this document. The previous request for CISS (2017) indicated 5,605 burden hours, this request increases the burden to 12,063. The request for the collection of information is revised due to a) Increasing the number of crashes investigated by Crash Technicians for 2021 and future years, b) adding Special Study crashes into this package, and c) adding Special Crash Investigation (SCI) crashes into this package. The combined impact is an increase of 6,458 burden hours to NHTSA’s overall total.

Abstract

The statute at 42 U.S.C. 674(a)(3)(C) and (D) provides the authority for title IV-E funding for the planning, design, development, installation, operation, and maintenance of an optional child welfare data collection and information retrieval system and the requirements a title IV-E agency must meet to receive a more favorable cost allocation for federal financial participation (FFP). The statute at 42 U.S.C. 674(c) further specifies the expenditures eligible for FFP. In response to these laws, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) published regulations at 45 CFR 1355.50 – 57 in 1993 providing states with enhanced funding to build a single comprehensive system supporting all child welfare case management activities for public and private child welfare workers in the state. In response to 42 U.S.C. 679c(b) ACF amended these regulations in 2012 to apply to an Indian tribe, tribal organization, or tribal consortium (tribe) that elect to operate a program under a plan approved by the Secretary under section 671. Child welfare practice and technology changed considerably since the regulations were published in 1993. To address these changes, ACF published the Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) Final Rule on June 2, 2016 with an effective date of August 1, 2018. This final rule removed the requirement for a single comprehensive system. With this flexibility, title IV-E agencies can build less expensive, modular based, child welfare information systems that more closely mirror their practice models while supporting quality data. Each agency may determine the size, scope, and functionality of their CCWIS. For example, a tribe may use this flexibility to build a smaller system at a reasonable cost. To help title IV-E agencies implement these more flexible requirements while ensuring appropriate Federal oversight, the final rule specified two new reporting requirements that agencies must annually submit over the life of the CCWIS project: • Automated Function List updates (annual submission during the life of a CCWIS project pursuant to 1355.52(i)(2)) • Data Quality Plan updates (annual submission during the life of a CCWIS project pursuant to 1355.52(d)(5)) This request is to extend approval of these reporting requirements; no changes are proposed.

Abstract

The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) maintains the Electronic Document Exchange (EDE) application which allows state child support agencies to exchange encrypted case-related documents. The EDE application allows state child support agencies to effectively exchange documents pertaining to child and spousal support cases. State child support agencies submit case document requests to other states through the EDE, which are routed to the other state for response. The responding state uploads the appropriate documents to the EDE for the requesting state to download or explains when documents are unavailable. State child support agencies that use the EDE application will reduce delays, costs, and barriers associated with case processing; increase paternity and order establishment; increase state child and spousal support debt collections; improve document security; standardize data sharing; increase state participation; and improve overall child and spousal support outcomes. State child support agencies use the information collected, maintained, and disseminated through the EDE application for various child support purposes. OCSE maintains and tracks EDE application usage; however, OCSE does not see or use the content of exchanged documents.

Abstract

We are requesting an extension of a currently approved data collection with no changes. Economic data is collected from vessel owners who operate in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic and who have one or more federal permits for the commercial catch of shrimp. The Annual Economic Survey of Federal Gulf and Atlantic Shrimp Permit Holders is conducted by the Social Science Research Group of the Southeast Region Fishery Science Center (SEFSC) of the National Fisheries Marine Service (NMFS). Now in its 15th year, the survey collects data about operating expenses and the costs of owning and maintaining shrimp vessels. Each spring, surveys are sent by mail to a random sample of about a third of all vessels with federal permits for the harvest of Gulf of Mexico penaeid shrimp or South Atlantic penaeid or rock shrimp. The survey has been very successful, with high response rates. For the 2018 data year---a typical year---the raw response rates was 82.7%; ranging from 74.2% to 90.2% by permit type; with open access permits at the lower end as would be expected (permit non-renewal is less of a motivation to complete the survey if you can always get a new one). The response rate for the 2019 survey---conduct primarily during the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic---was uncharacteristically low at only 73%. A collection of economic information from fishermen affected by the management of federal commercial fisheries is needed to ensure that national goals, objectives, and requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) and other laws are met. This information is vital in assessing the economic and social effects of management decisions and regulations on individual fishing enterprises, fishing communities, and the nation as a whole.

Abstract

The Science Mission Directorate (SMD) within NASA is undertaking an Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) change effort. NASA SMD began these efforts as a response to their 2019 FEVS results by choosing Diversity and Inclusion as a focus area. This survey will be used as an evidence-building tool to baseline SMD staff (civil servants and contractors) views on the SMD culture, then periodically (approximately annually) re-assess to determine whether the culture is improving as IDEA efforts are implemented. Data obtained is intended for SMD internal use only and will not be publicly released; it will be used to design its IDEA initiatives and improve its internal environment. This survey will provide insights that the IDEA Working Group will consider to form, refine and prioritize their initiatives, and will serve as an evaluation mechanism to determine if implemented initiatives have had positive effects by comparing this baseline to future assessments.

Abstract

FNS must evaluate the data and observations collected and determine whether it is feasible to implement this technology nation-wide, whether further study is required before doing so, or if implementation is not in the best interest of the program, and submit report to report to Congress with the basis of its findings. This information collection is necessary because Congress has specifically mandated that approval and subsequent evaluation of MPPs by State agencies must occur before FNS can fulfill its broader statutory obligations to allow mobile payment technology in SNAP nation-wide. Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) plans to authorize the use of mobile payment technology for accessing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits through smart phones, tablets, and other personal mobile devices in place of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards. However, in order to implement this statutory requirement, FNS must approve up to 5 proposals from SNAP State agencies (State agencies) to conduct Mobile Payment Pilots (MPPs) that test the use of mobile payment technology in SNAP and meet several sets of requirements outlined in the Code, such as providing protections to participants that is similar to existing EBT technology, providing price parity between foods purchased with mobile payment technology and those purchased by other methods, ensuring adequate documentation and security measures to deter fraud, and other criteria as determined by FNS.

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) is for an extension to continue ongoing approved data collection activities and add additional activities for the sample enrolled in the Evaluation of Employment Coaching for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Related Populations. This data collection will provide information about the effectiveness of employment coaching programs in helping TANF and other low-income populations achieve economic independence. The proposed extension for the second follow-up survey data collection under OMB #0970-0506 will allow for continued follow-up in the evaluation sites. The extension is necessary to complete the second follow-up survey. There are no changes to the previously approved information collection. The approved data collections for this study provide information about program impacts for the first 21 to 24 months after study enrollment. However, it is possible that the programs continue to generate impacts beyond this period, particularly given that three employment coaching interventions included in the study continue to provide services beyond the period covered by the second follow-up survey. The proposed new information collection through a third follow-up survey under OMB #0970-0506 will provide information about participants at least four years after random assignment. This activity will provide rigorous evidence on whether the coaching interventions are effective, for whom, and under what circumstances over the longer term. The information collected at a later follow-up point will be used to assess how employment coaching might have a continued effect on participants long after they have left coaching programs. Qualitative analysis of completed approved data collections related to the implementation study suggest the importance of the relationship between the coach and program participant and certain program features, such as participation incentives. The proposed new information collection through follow-up semi-structured interviews with management, staff, supervisors, and participants under OMB #0970-0506 will enable additional input from employment coaching program staff and participants on the processes and perceptions of employment coaching. The proposed new data collection instruments will provide descriptive information about how coaches form trusting relationships with their participants and other key topics that have emerged as important in analysis of previously collected study data.

Abstract

The mission of USDS is to deliver better government services through technology and design. In support of that mission, USDS engages directly with program applicants and beneficiaries, and other people who use or need to use the government systems and services we are helping to improve, and incorporates their feedback into our work and recommendations. By employing human-centered design practices like user research, USDS prioritizes the user’s needs and learns what works as quickly as possible, saving time and money while improving services to the public. USDS deploys small, responsive groups of designers, engineers, product managers, and other specialists to work with and empower civil servants, working with many agencies simultaneously. Under this generic clearance, USDS would engage in a variety of formative data collections with people who use or need to use government systems and services, such as program participants, practitioners, and service providers. The data collections would occur primarily through Discovery Sprints, which are short research projects designed to quickly understand complexities of systems or services in order to identify issues with service delivery, their root causes, and opportunities for improvement. Data collections would also occur during longer projects, as needed. USDS’s research serves to provide further understanding of whether people engaging directly with government services are having an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience. USDS anticipates undertaking a variety of new research projects related to social safety net and general welfare programs, economic recovery efforts, healthcare, and more. Many Federal agencies and field offices find a need to learn more about the public’s perceptions, experiences and expectations; early warnings of issues with service delivery; or areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. USDS envisions using a variety of techniques, including: • Pre-study self-identification questionnaires • Unmoderated comment cards/complaint forms • Unmoderated qualitative user experience surveys (e.g., post-transaction surveys; opt-out web surveys) • Unmoderated information architecture evaluative methods (e.g., card sorts; tree tests) • Unmoderated content evaluative methods • Long-term behavior and experience studies (e.g., diary study) • Focus groups • User research studies (e.g., user interviews; usability tests) • Program assessment questionnaires. Overall, this research will be designed to fulfill the following goals: (1) discover barriers to access that create inequities for users of government systems and services; (2) inform the development of USDS and agency research, (3) discover early warnings of issues with service delivery; and (4) focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between Federal agencies and the public. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.
