Air Bag Deactivation

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to request reinstatement with modification of a previously approved information collection associated with the process of obtaining authorization for the installation of retrofit air bag switches. Specifically, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is requesting reinstatement of the ICR with OMB Control No. 2127-0588. 49 CFR part 595, subpart B, establishes the conditions that make it possible for vehicle owners to have their motor vehicles retrofitted with air bag switches by motor vehicle dealers and repair businesses if the owners are, or a user of their vehicle is, a member of one of the enumerated risk groups. This ICR contains two forms: the Request Form for Frontal Air Bag On-Off Switch (“Request Form”) and the Installation of Air Bag On-Off Switch Form (“Installation Form”). The Request Form corresponds to Appendix B of Part 595, which an owner or lessee of a motor vehicle seeking the installation of a retrofit air bag on-off switch must complete and submit to NHTSA. NHTSA will review and grant or deny the request for an air bag switch to be installed. The Installation Form corresponds to Appendix C of Part 595, Subpart B which air bag switch installers must return to NHTSA upon completion of an air bag switch installation. This second form was not included in the previously approved ICR. NHTSA estimates this collection will impact 300 respondents each year and will have a total annual burden of 90 hours and annual labor cost of $1,785.00.

Generic Clearance for Meetings, Events, Registrations, and Miscellaneous Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This is an extension without change of a currently approved generic collection to continue promoting innovative solutions. This generic allows Commerce to provide a quick and efficient process to create registration and application forms for Commerce sponsored events, meetings, workshops, presentations, panels, and advisory committees that go beyond what is necessary to register, and one-time miscellaneous forms that are primarily of an administrative nature, not to be used for programmatic purposes, and are necessary to achieve mission objectives. The Department of Commerce Bureaus directly sponsors, and organizes activities, including research-related activities, meetings, and outreach events. For such activities to be timely and to optimally use available resources to address needs and opportunities within the research and outreach community, it is necessary for Commerce to have a means to expeditiously register and select the most appropriate participants, according to the type or purpose of a given activity.

Turtle Distribution Database

Key Information

Abstract

The order Testudines, which encompasses tortoises and freshwater and marine turtles, is among the most threatened group of vertebrates in the world. However, turtles are frequently observed during everyday activities, such as while walking through a park, driving along a roadway, or kayaking in a river or pond. Local citizen-science projects focused on single species (such as box turtles) have provided valuable demographic information for turtle populations, but these projects are isolated both spatially and specifically (i.e., focused on one species). This project would use sighting information supplied by citizens to fill gaps in our knowledge of turtle distributions throughout Northern Florida. When a citizen observes a turtle, they would document the species (if possible), location (latitude/longitude collected via cell phone), date, and time, and they would photograph the animal. We would also ask each contributor to provide their initials (not full name) and a way to contact them if questions about the entry arise (e.g., phone number or email address). The sighting information will be mapped and used to develop species-distribution maps.

Nonindigenous Aquatic Species eDNA Data and Metadata Submission Forms

Key Information

Abstract

More than 6,500 nonindigenous species are now established in the United States, posing risks to native species, valued ecosystems, and human and wildlife health. These invasive species extract a huge cost, an estimated $120 billion per year, to mitigate their harmful impacts. The current annual environmental, economic, and health-related costs of invasive species exceed those of all other natural disasters combined. Through its Invasive Species Program (http://www.usgs.gov/ecosystems/invasive_species/), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) plays an important role in Federal efforts to combat invasive species in natural and semi-natural areas through early detection and assessment of newly established invaders; monitoring of invading populations; and improving understanding of the ecology of invaders and factors in the resistance of habitats to invasion. The USGS provides the tools, technology, and information supporting efforts to prevent, contain, control, and manage invasive species nationwide. To meet user needs, the USGS also develops methods for compiling and synthesizing accurate and reliable data and information on invasive species for inclusion in a distributed and integrated web-based information system. As part of the USGS Invasive Species Program, the Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) database (http://nas.er.usgs.gov/) functions as a repository and clearinghouse for occurrence information on nonindigenous aquatic species from across the United States. It contains locality information on approximately 1,300 species of vertebrates, invertebrates, and vascular plants introduced since 1850. Taxa include foreign species as well as those native to North America that have been transported outside of their natural range. The NAS web site provides immediate access to new occurrence records through a real-time interface with the NAS database. Visitors to the web site can use a set of predefined queries to obtain lists of species according to state or hydrologic basin of interest. Fact sheets, distribution maps, and information on new occurrences are continually posted and updated. Dynamically generated species distribution maps show the spatial accuracy of the locations reported, population status, and links to more information about each report. Environmental DNA (eDNA) comprises genetic material that has been sloughed, excreted, or otherwise released into the environment and can be detected in water, soil, and air. For aquatic organisms, this includes skin, excrement, mucus, saliva, blood, and gametes. Collection of environmental samples can be screened for the presence of eDNA, allowing for the detection of low-density organisms before detectability by traditional sampling methods. The combination of traditional specimen sightings and eDNA detections can provide more complete species distribution records and significantly improve the ability to respond quickly to new invasions as part of an early detection rapid response (EDRR) system. Working with interagency eDNA experts, the NAS database has used a consensus method to identify and develop community data standards for integrating eDNA detection data.

Request for Individual Access to Records Protected Under the Privacy Act

Key Information

Abstract

The Creating Advanced Streamlined Electronic Services for Constituents Act of 2019 (CASES Act), Pub. L. 116-50, 133 Stat. 1073 (2019), requires Federal agencies to establish a digital process for identity-proofed and authenticated individuals to request access to their records protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act) (5 U.S.C. 552a of the United States Code). To comply with the CASES Act and OMB Memorandum, M 21-04, and pursuant to authority under sections 702(a)(5) and 1106(a) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 902(a)(5), 1306(a)), the Social Security Administration (SSA) developed Form SSA-2288-OP1, Request for Individual Access to Records Protected Under the Privacy Act, a dynamic webform that guides respondents through the information necessary to submit an electronic request for access to agency records about themselves. Under SSA’s regulations at 20 CFR 401.40 regarding individuals’ access rights under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(f)), individuals may request access to their records by visiting their local Social Security field office or writing to the manager of the applicable system of records. Since SSA currently has no special agency form available to the public to submit this type of request, we are implementing Form SSA-2288-OP1 to comply with the CASES Act, the Privacy Act, OMB M 21-04, and SSA’s governing regulations at 20 CFR 401.30 - 401.95. Form SSA-2288-OP1 is an electronic webform that respondents submit online only via SSA’s Upload Documents portal (OMB No. 0960-0830), after the portal first appropriately identity-proofs and authenticates respondents, consistent with requirements in the CASES Act and OMB M 21-04. Respondents can use Form SSA-2288-OP1 to request access to records or information about themselves from SSA’s program files. Pursuant to the Privacy Act and SSA’s regulations, a special procedure governs access requests that include medical records (5 U.S.C. 552a(f)(3) and 20 CFR 401.55). Therefore, respondents requesting medical record requests via Form SSA-2288-OP1 must designate an individual (such as a health professional or other responsible individual) to receive and review the records and inform the respondent of its contents. SSA may grant the respondent direct access to their medical records if it determines direct access is not likely to have an adverse effect on the respondent. Respondents who cannot (or do not wish to) submit their request electronically or seek other types of records can always avail themselves of SSA’s existing service delivery channels, such as visiting or calling their local Social Security office, or submitting a written request by mail, fax, or hand delivery. Respondents can learn more about SSA’s privacy program from its privacy webpage at www.ssa.gov/privacy, which contains sub-pages with additional information about Privacy Act requests and a link to Form SSA-2288-OP1. Respondents may also find Form SSA-2288-OP1 within the Upload Documents portal, or on SSA’s Forms webpage at www.ssa.gov/forms. Respondents are the subjects of the record(s) protected by the Privacy Act, who request access to agency records about themselves.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) renews the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program ICR. It calculates the information collection burden and costs associated with the NPDES program, identifies the types of activities regulated under the NPDES program, describes the roles and responsibilities of state governments and the Agency, and presents the program areas that address the various types of regulated activities. This ICR renewal covers information collection burden and costs associated with activities previously reported in 22 NPDES program or NPDES-related ICRs. The Clean Water Act (CWA) provides that NPDES permits are required for the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States. The CWA requires that EPA develop and implement the NPDES permit program. CWA section 402(b) allows states to acquire authority to administer the NPDES program, enabling them to issue NPDES permits for discharges within the state. At present, 47 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands are authorized to administer the NPDES permit program. In states that do not have authority for these programs, the Agency administers the program and issues NPDES permits. Because some permit applications are processed by states and some by EPA, this ICR calculates government burden and cost for both authorized states and EPA.

Incoming and Outgoing Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Assignment Agreement

Key Information

Abstract

The Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) mobility program provides for the temporary assignment of civilian personnel between the Federal Government and State and local governments; colleges and universities; Indian tribal governments; federally funded research and development centers; and other eligible organizations. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) created a generic form, the OF-69, for agencies to use as a template when collecting information for the IPA assignment. The OF-69 collects information about the assignment including: (1) the enrolled employee’s name, Social Security number, job title, salary, classification, and address; (2) the type of assignment; (3) the reimbursement arrangement; and (4) an explanation as to how the assignment benefits both SSA and the non-federal organization involved in the exchange. OPM directs agencies to use their own forms for recording these agreements. Therefore, SSA modified the OF-69 to meet our needs, creating the SSA-187 for incoming employees and the SSA-188 for outgoing employees. SSA collects information on the SSA-187 and SSA-188 to document the IPA assignment, and to act as an agreement between the agencies. Respondents are personnel from State and local governments; colleges and universities; Indian tribal governments; federally funded research and development centers; and other eligible organizations who participate in the IPA exchange with SSA.

NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart L) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The EPA promulgated the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category (40 CFR part 60, Subpart L) on March 8, 1974. Subpart L as promulgated in 1974 regulates particulate matter (PM) emissions from blast and reverberatory furnaces and also specifies limits for visible emissions (opacity) for blast, reverberatory, and pot (refining) furnaces. The EPA amended Subpart L on October 10, 1975, to remove a provision providing that the failure to meet the NSPS emissions limits due to the presence of uncombined water in the stack gases was not considered a violation. Currently, there are 11 secondary lead smelting facilities in the United States and each facility operates furnaces that are subject to the PM and opacity limits specified in Subpart L. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA to review the NSPS at least every 8 years and to revise the standards of performance that are applicable to new, modified, and reconstructed sources, if appropriate, to reflect the best system of emissions reduction (BSER), accounting for the cost, environmental, and energy impacts associated with achieving the reduction. Based on the CAA Section 111 review of the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category, the EPA finalized updates to Subpart L including revisions to the applicability dates. Additionally, the EPA finalized requirements for periodic performance tests for PM and incorporated the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, including electronic reporting of performance tests, specified in NESHAP Subpart X to improve the consistency between the NSPS and NESHAP for secondary lead smelting facilities. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart L. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.

Statement From Excluded Medical Sources of Evidence

Key Information

Abstract

Section 812 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA), “Exclusion of certain medical sources of evidence,” mandates that SSA exclude evidence in disability decisions from certain medical sources. BBA Section 812 amended section 223(d)(5) of the Social Security Act (Act) by adding a subsection “C.” Section 223(d)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, as amended, requires SSA to exclude evidence (except for good cause) from medical sources: (1) convicted of a felony under sections 208 or 1632 of the Act; (2) excluded from participating in any Federal health care program under section 1128 of the Act; or (3) imposed with a civil monetary penalty (CMP), assessment, or both, for submitting false evidence, under section 1129 of the Act. We also implemented section 223(d)(5)(C), as amended, through regulations at 20 CFR 404.1503b and 416.903b of the Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations require excluded medical sources to self-report their excluded status, in writing, each time they submit evidence related to a claim for benefits under Titles II or XVI of the Act. Excluded medical sources’ duty to self-report their excluded status applies to evidence they submit to SSA directly, or through a representative, claimant, or other individual or entity. As needed, SSA informs the medical sources we suspect should be excluded of these requirements through a Fact Sheet we send to them via mail, or which they can find on our website where we list the regulatory requirements under BBA section 812. In addition, along with the Fact Sheet and website, we provide sample statements as templates the affected medical sources can use to create their own written statements as required under our regulations. The respondents for this collection are medical sources that: (1) meet one of the exclusionary categories set forth in section 223(d)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, as amended; (2) furnish evidence related to a claim for benefits under Titles II or XVI of the Act; and (3) had failed to self-identify as an excluded source of medical evidence as required in section 223(d(5)(C)(i).

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Ec) were proposed on February 27, 1995; promulgated on September 15, 1997; and amended on: October 6, 2009; April 4, 2011; and May 12, 2013. The original standards applied to either owners or operators of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI) for which construction commenced after June 20, 1996, or for which modification commenced after March 16, 1998, but no later than April 6, 2010. Sources subject to the original standards are now covered under the revised Emission Guidelines for HMIWI at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Ce. This information request covers the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with the revised NSPS, which apply to new facilities only. New facilities include those that commenced either construction after December 1, 2008, or commenced modification after April 6, 2010. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Ec. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS
