Imposition of Special Measure Regarding Huione Group as a Foreign Financial Institution of Primary Money Laundering Concern

Key Information

Abstract

FinCEN is issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), pursuant to section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, that proposes amending the existing definition of Huione Group to include, within the definition of that group, H-Pay Service PLC, and adding and defining the term “successor entity.” With this NPRM, FinCEN does not alter its assessment that Huione Group is a financial institution operating outside the United States of primary money laundering concern, and the existing special measure codified at 31 CFR 1010.664 with respect to Huione Group remains in effect.

GEAR UP Application Packages for Partnership and State Grants (1894-0001)

Key Information

Abstract

Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), created in the Higher Education Act Amendments of 1998 (Title IV, Section 404A-404H), is a discretionary grant program which encourages applicants to provide support and maintain a commitment to eligible low-income students, including students with disabilities, to assist the students in obtaining a secondary school diploma and preparing for and succeeding in postsecondary education. GEAR UP provides grants to states and partnerships to provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve an entire cohort of students beginning no later than the seventh grade and follow them through graduation and, optionally, the first year of college. The purpose of the GEAR UP partnership and state applications is to allow partnerships and states to apply for funding under the GEAR UP program. Since OMB’s last review and approval of the package, the applications have been updated to include only the program-specific forms required for this collection. All standard forms that have already been approved by OMB and are not unique to this information collection, as well as additional information not directly related to the program-specific forms associated with this program, have been removed from the collection.

Treatment by the FDIC as Conservator or Receiver of Financial Assets Transferred by an Insured Depository Institution in Connection With a Securitization or Participation After September 30, 2010.

Key Information

Abstract

The Securitization Safe Harbor Rule addresses circumstances that may arise if the FDIC is appointed receiver or conservator for an insured depository institution (IDI) that has transferred financial assets in connection one or more securitization or participation transactions (“covered IDI”). If a securitization satisfies one of the sets of conditions established by the Securitization Safe Harbor Rule, the Rule provides that, depending on which set of conditions is satisfied, either (i) in the exercise of FDIC’s authority to repudiate or disclaim contracts, the FDIC shall not reclaim, recover or re-characterize as property of the institution or receivership the financial assets transferred as part of the securitization transaction, or (ii) if the FDIC repudiates the securitization agreement pursuant to which financial assets were transferred and does not pay damages within a specified period, or if the FDIC is in monetary default under a securitization for a specified period due to its failure to pay or apply collections received by it under the securitization documents, certain remedies will be available to investors on an expedited basis. By providing for these disclosures and recordkeeping requirements as conditions for eligibility for the Securitization Safe Harbor benefits, the FDIC seeks to improve the transparency of securitizations thereby reduce risks to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund. These recordkeeping and disclosure requirements meet the definition of information collections (ICs) under the Paperwork Reduction Act .

Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing, and Drainage Protection (43 CFR Parts 3100)

Key Information

Abstract

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to revise the BLM’s oil and gas leasing regulations. Among other things, the proposed rule would reflect provisions of the Royalty Resiliency Act pertaining to applications for agreements with an allocation schedule and would request public comment on changes pertaining to the bonding requirements for leasing, eliminate the leasing preference criteria and modify the public participation periods. The proposed rule would also improve the BLM’s leasing process to ensure proper stewardship of public lands and resources and would revise some operating requirements. The BLM collects information to monitor and enforce compliance with requirements pertaining to Federal oil and gas leasing and operations and to decide to approve oil and gas leases and operations on public lands. This request is being submitted to OMB in association with the BLM’s proposed rule pertaining to fluid mineral leasing requirements (RIN 1004-AF05).

Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation (43 CFR Parts 3178 and 3179)

Key Information

Abstract

The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) rule provides the standard by which operators of Federal and Indian (except The Osage Nation) oil and gas leases are able to determine when a loss of production is avoidable with a royalty obligation or unavoidable with no royalty obligation. This proposed rule is a deregulatory action that would revise the regulations to: streamline the current number of sections in the rule, remove air quality litigation concerns; reduce operator burdens of the 2024 waste prevention rule; and promulgate clear definitions for avoidable and unavoidable losses, limitations on unavoidable losses, authorized venting and flaring, emergencies, and flaring measurement requirements. This request is being submitted in association with the proposed venting and flaring proposed rule (RIN 1004-AF33).

West Coast Region Permit Family of Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of currently approved information collections. This statement addresses several collections authorized by the Fishery Management Plans (FMP) under the Highly Migratory Species (HMS FMP) and the Coastal Pelagic Species Fishery Management Plan (CPS FMP). Both documents are developed and maintained by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (MSA). The HMS FMP governs Pacific HMS fisheries, and the CPS FMP governs CPS fisheries in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the West Coast. Section 303(b)(1) of the MSA specifically recognizes the need for permit issuance. Almost every international, federal, state, and local fishery management authority recognizes the value of and uses permits as an integral part of their management systems. Identification of the participants, their gear types, descriptions of their vessels, and expected activity levels are needed to measure the consequences of management controls and is an effective tool in the enforcement of other fishery regulations. Experience has shown that fines for violations of specific fishery regulations are not as effective as the threat of a permit revocation that would exclude the vessel from the fishery altogether.
