Abstract

Insured financial institutions must provide quarterly reports of condition and income (Call Reports) to the appropriate regulatory agency for supervisory, surveillance, regulatory, research, insurance assessment and informational purposes. Section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires all insured depository institutions to submit four "reports of condition" each year to their primary federal bank supervisory authority, i.e., the FDIC, the OCC, or the FRB, as appropriate. FDIC-supervised institutions, i.e., insured state nonmember banks and state savings associations, submit these reports to the FDIC. The FDIC uses the quarterly Call Reports to monitor the condition and performance of individual institutions and the industry as a whole. In addition, Call Reports provide the FDIC with the most current statistical data available for evaluating depository institution corporate applications such as mergers; identifying areas of focus for both on-site and off-site examinations; calculating all insured institutions' deposit insurance and Financing Corporation assessments; and other public purposes. Within the Call Report information collection system, separate report forms apply to institutions that have domestic and foreign offices (FFIEC 031) and to institutions with domestic offices only (FFIEC 041 and, for those with total assets less than $5 billion, FFIEC 051).

Abstract

Section 487(c) of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended, requires that the Secretary of Education prescribe regulations to ensure that any funds postsecondary institutions receive under the HEA are used solely for the purposes specified in and in accordance with the provision of the applicable programs. Part H, Subpart 3, Section 498 of the HEA of 1965, as amended, gives the Secretary the responsibility for determining qualifications of institutions of higher education to participate in programs under the HEA. To comply with this requirement Section 498(b) of the HEA specified that the Secretary prepare and prescribe a single application form. The Department of Education (the Department) developed the Application for Approval to Participate in the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs to comply with the statutory requirements of collecting necessary information under the HEA. An institution must use this Application to apply for approval to be determined to be eligible and if the institution wishes, to participate; to expand its eligibility; or to continue to participate in the Title IV programs. An institution must also use the Application to report certain required data as part of its recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations under 34 C.F.R. Part 600 (Institutional Eligibility under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended). The Department uses the information reported on the Application in its determination of whether an institution meets the statutory and regulatory requirements. This request is for a revision of the current information collection.

Abstract

SSA is requesting to make revisions to the CBSV User Agreement. This collection instrument defines the conditions, terms, and safeguards under which SSA provides participating businesses with the verification of Social Security numbers. This action does not affect the public reporting burden. SSA developed CBSV in response to multiple requests from the business community. CBSV is a fee-for-service process which allows SSA to process high volumes of SSN verifications that companies need for business purposes. Since this is not required by law but is being provided as a service, businesses incur the costs of CBSV. The respondents are companies requesting SSN verifications from SSA as part of their business process.

Abstract

The information collected is used by the FAA, Noise Division of the Office of Environment and Energy, to issue special flight authorizations for nonrevenue operations of transports and non-transport jet, Stage 2 airplanes at U.S. airports. The operators of such noisier airplanes that seek specific operations into U.S. airports must fill out an SFA form to request FAA approval. The collection of this information is mandatory and must be reported by operators when they need a special flight authorization after 12/31/2015. Minimal data is requested to identify the affected parties and determine whether the purpose for the flight is one of the ones enumerated in the law. The collection of information is on occasion and follows the circumstances enumerated in the law. The submitted data, about requested flight departure and arrival airports that match the purpose of flight, is used to attest to such authorized flight operations in the case of audit by FAA enforcement personnel. The FAA maintains in records the original request information. FAA form 1050-8 exists to minimize operator and FAA workload; intended to get all the information at one time in most cases (avoid repeated contacts to issue one special flight authorization).
