Abstract

10 CFR part 20 establishes standards for protection against ionizing radiation resulting from activities conducted under licenses issued by the NRC and by Agreement States. These standards require the establishment of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation protection programs, maintenance of radiation records, recording of radiation received by workers, reporting of incidents which could cause exposure to radiation, submittal of an annual report to NRC and to Agreement States of the results of individual monitoring, and submittal of license termination information. These mandatory requirements are needed to protect occupationally exposed individuals from undue risks of excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and to protect the health and safety of the public. In addition, this clearance includes NRC Online Forms, “Respirator Protection Exemption for Non-Power Reactors” and “Respirator Protection Exemption for Power Reactors.” The NRC requires licensees to meet the medical evaluation frequency and fit-testing frequency requirements specified in 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(5)(iii) and 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(6). Guidance for meeting these requirements can be found in Regulatory Guide 8.15, Acceptable Programs for Respiratory Protection. Requiring the licensed facilities to comply with the specific requirements in 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(5)(iii) and 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(6) may result in a licensee requiring personnel to take actions that are contrary with the practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to limit the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). To facilitate and streamline licensees’ requests for exemptions to these requirements, this information collection includes two online forms to submit the required information for a specific exemption request. One form is for power reactor licensees and the second is for research and test reactor (RTR) and nonpower reactor licensees to submit their exemption requests. The use of these online forms is restricted to exemption requests resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 PHE.

Abstract

OMB Circular A-126, Subject: Improving the Management and Use of Government Aircraft (May 22, 1992), requires that government agencies that fly non-official passengers in a Space Available status charge them the “full coach fare” cost of their seat on the government aircraft. Circular A-126 defines “full coach fare” as “a coach fare available to the general public between the day that the travel was planned and the day that the travel occurred.” Id. ¶ 4f. To properly bill these passengers, ICE must set up accounts receivable in the Federal Financial Management System (FFMS). Accounts receivable must be based on legally valid debts. The Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement (FM/BA) form will collect the contact information needed to send bills to these passengers from FFMS, and will document their agreement to be billed for their seats on these flights. The ICE Flight Manifest Information/Agreement To Reimburse form is used to collect information from members of the public, contractors, Federal employees, or dependents who intend to board ICE-chartered aircraft for purposes of evacuation. The purposes of the data collected on this form are two-fold. First, ICE will verify the individual’s identity before he/she boards an ICE-chartered aircraft to assess the safety of the aircraft, its crew, other passengers, and the United States. Further, the data collected on the form is also used in the event of an emergency to help ensure timely notification of points of contact designated by the passenger. Second, the form will confirm the agreement of Space Available passengers to be billed for their travel, and establish the names, addresses, and Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for billing and collection purposes. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) at the airfield of embarkation will collect pertinent data for flight manifest information from all persons wishing to fly on an ICE-chartered aircraft prior to their boarding of the aircraft. Only passengers flying in a Space Available status, that is, private persons not on official government travel orders, will be required to complete the relevant fields on the form stating the reason for Space Available travel and requesting their signature to document their agreement to be billed for their travel. In special emergency situations, the form may be completed in-flight. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) will then submit the completed forms and the flight manifest to the program office that chartered the flight and to the Emergency Management Unit via email, as soon as practicable upon completion of the flight.

Abstract

The information collected on the Form I-983 serves as a planning document for STEM OPT students, the SEVP-certified school, and the employer. SEVP uses the form as an evidentiary document to track the STEM OPT student’s progress, identifying the terms and conditions of the practical training and documenting the obligations of the three parties that are involved—the F-1 student, SEVP-certified school, and employer. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) authority for the collection of information for the Form I-983, “Training Plan for STEM OPT Students,” is from a rulemaking, “Improving and Expanding Training Opportunities for F-1 Nonimmigrant Students With STEM Degrees and Cap-Gap Relief for All Eligible F-1 Students,” published in the Federal Register at 80 FR 63375 (Oct. 19, 2015; NPRM; U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)) and 81 FR 13039 (March 11, 2016; final rule; DHS). This supporting statement fulfills the requirement for the periodic update to that collection. DHS derives authority to manage SEVP, including tracking and monitoring aspects, from the following: • Section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Public Law 104208, Div. C (Sept. 30, 1996), which requires the creation of a program to collect information, on an ongoing basis, from SEVP-certified schools and exchange visitor program sponsors relating to F, M, and J nonimmigrants during the course of their stay in the United States, using electronic reporting technology to the fullest extent practicable. It further requires federal approval and authorization of schools and exchange visitor program sponsors participating in such enrollment. IIRIRA mandates collecting the identity, current U.S address, and the admission classification of the nonimmigrant; the date on which a visa under the classification was issued or extended or the date on which a change to such classification was approved by DHS; the current program status (academic or vocational) of the nonimmigrant, including whether the nonimmigrant is maintaining status as a full-time student or whether an exchange visitor is satisfying the terms and conditions of his or her program; and any disciplinary action taken by the school or the exchange visitor program sponsor against the nonimmigrant as a result of a conviction of a crime. • The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (Oct. 26, 2001), which amended IIRIRA to add the requirement that information be collected on the F, M, and J nonimmigrants’ date and port of entry into the United States. • Homeland Security Presidential Directive-2, issued on October 30, 2001, which requires DHS to conduct periodic and ongoing review of all schools certified to enroll F-1 and M-1 students. • The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (EBSVERA), Public Law 107–173, 116 Stat. 543 (May 14, 2002), which requires DHS to recertify all schools approved to enroll F-1 and/or M-1 students within 2 years of its passage. Further, EBSVERA mandates that DHS conduct an additional recertification of these schools every 2 years. DHS implemented the Form I-983 information collection to provide F-1 students with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees who are approved to extend their optional practical training (OPT) with a prescribed reporting document and methodology that complies with regulations.

Abstract

Under the U.S. EPA National Environmental Information Exchange Network (NEIEN) Grant Program, EPA collects information from the NEIEN grantees on assistance agreements that EPA has awarded. Specifically, for each project, EPA proposes to have grantees submit semi-annual reports on the progress and current status of each goal and output, completion dates for outputs, and any problems encountered. This information will help EPA ensure projects are on schedule to meet their goals and produce high quality environmental results. New award recipients will complete one Quality Assurance Reporting Form for each award. This form provides a simple means for grant recipients to describe how quality will be addressed throughout their projects. Additionally, the Quality Assurance Reporting Form is derived from guidelines provided in the NEIEN 2018 Grant Solicitation Notice.

Abstract

This request is for revision and extension of a currently approved information collection. Two minor revisions were made to the Recovery Data Form based on comments for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: On page 1 of the form, the statement “If a photo is taken, attach to form when submitted.” was added to the Photograph field; on the bottom of page 2 instruction was added to submit the form and photo (if taken) to U.S. Fish & Wildlife by email. Mitigation measures to reduce interactions between seabirds and the Hawaii-based pelagic longline fisheries require that longline vessel operators notify the National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), or the U.S. Coast Guard if an endangered short-tailed albatross (STAL) is hooked or entangled during fishing operations. Following an incidental take and capture, Federal regulations require that vessel operators record information on dead or injured STALs using a Short-tailed Albatross Recovery Data Form. The information is used by veterinarians to advise vessel operators caring for injured STALs. If the albatross is dead, in addition to filling out the Short-tailed Albatross Recovery Data Form, the vessel operator must return all STAL carcasses to FWS. Each dead specimen must have an identification/information tag attached directly to the carcass and the specimen bag to assist the FWS biologists in follow-up studies. This collection is one of the terms and conditions contained in a biological opinion issued by FWS.

Abstract

This ICR applies to a contractor who performs response services at sensitive sites with serious security concerns where the Agency and public interest would best be protected through drug testing of contractor employees. The contractor will test employees for the use of marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and any other controlled substances. Only contractor employees who have been tested within the previous 90 calendar days and have passing drug test results may be directly engaged in on-site response work and/or on-site related activities at designated sites with significant security concerns. The Agency may request contractors responding to any of these types of incidents to conduct drug testing and apply Government-established suitability criteria in Title 5 CFR Administrative Personnel 731.104 Appointments Subject to Investigation, 732.201 Sensitivity Level Designations and Investigative Requirements, and 736.102 Notice to Investigative Sources when determining whether employees are acceptable to perform on given sites or on specific projects.

Abstract

The Construction Reserve Fund (CRF), authorized by 46 U.S.C. Chapter 533 (the Act), is a financial assistance program which provides tax benefits to owners and operators of U.S.-flag ships. The application is required from all citizens who own or operate vessels in the U.S. foreign or domestic commerce who desire 'tax' benefits under the CRF program. Annual statements are required from each respondent. The information provided in the application will be used by the Maritime Administration (MARAD), Office of Financial Approvals, to determine if an applicant qualified for the benefits. The annual statement is used by MARAD to assure that account holders are satisfying the requirements of the program and to keep agency leaders informed of the scope and scale of use of the program. The collection is reporting (not a survey).
