Application for Prevailing Wage Determination

Key Information

Abstract

The information contained in the Form ETA-9141 is the basis for the Secretary’s determination of the wage employers must pay in order protect against adverse effect on U.S. workers’ wages by the employment of a foreign worker. Prior to submitting requests for most labor certifications or a labor condition applications to the Secretary of Labor, employers must obtain a prevailing wage for the job opportunity based on the place of employment in order to ensure that wages are not being adversely affected by paying foreign workers less than a prevailing wage. Form ETA-9141, Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, is used to collect the necessary information from employers to enable the Department of Labor (Department) to issue a prevailing wage for the occupation and location of the job offer. The Form ETA-9141 is used in the H-2B, H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, and PERM programs administered by the Department. In order to meet its statutory responsibilities under the INA, the Department must request information from employers seeking to hire and import foreign labor. The Department uses the information collected to determine the appropriate wages that must be paid by an employer to foreign workers in most programs.

ED-524 Budget Information Non-Construction Programs Form and Instructions

Key Information

Abstract

The ED 524 form and instructions are included in U.S. Department of Education (ED) discretionary grant application packages and are needed in order for applicants to submit summary-level budget data by budget category, as well as a detailed budget narrative, to request and justify their proposed grant budgets as part of their grant applications. At the time of application, ED applicants submit budget information on the ED 524 for both Federal funds requested and for the non-Federal match or cost-sharing funds they are committing to the proposed project (either statutorily required or provided as a voluntary commitment) for each budget period of a multi-year project. Please note that Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR),(34 CFR 75.117) requires that an applicant that proposes a multi-year project must include in its application a budget narrative accompanied by a budget form prescribed by the Secretary, that provides budget information for each budget period of the proposed project period. In order to prepare the non-Federal portion of the budget for the ED 524, the applicant must already have had this information on hand in their internal grant accounting records. Under Uniform Administrative Requirements, 2 CFR 200.306, as applicable, a grantee is required to maintain this information regarding cost-sharing and matching resources.

Request for Reduction or Cancellation of Federal EmployeesGroup Life Insurance (FEGLI)

Key Information

Abstract

Annuitants who are enrolled in the Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program can cancel or reduce their coverage. The form, RI 76-30, ensures that an individual is fully informed about the effect of cancellation of FEGLI coverage. A cancellation of enrollment within the FEGLI Program will inhibit the annuitant from ever re-enrolling as an annuitant. A reduction of coverage within the FEGLI Program (Basic Life Insurance, Option B-Additional Insurance, Option C-Family Insurance) will prohibit the annuitant from increasing their coverage as an annuitant. A request is not processed until the signed form is returned to OPM.

Data Collection for Quality Measures Using the Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web-Enabled Network (CROWNWeb) (CMS-10569)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1881(h) of the Social Security Act, as amended by Section 153(h) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, authorizes the establishment of a quality incentive program for renal dialysis facilities. Beginning in CY 2016, renal dialysis facilities have been required to collect and submit data on quality reporting measures to CMS using Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web-Enabled Network (CROWNWeb); in CY 2018, this was increased to eight quality reporting measures. In CY 2020, we launched the End-Stage Renal Disease Quality Reporting System (EQRS), which contains the functionalities of the three legacy ESRD Systems, including CROWNWeb, in one global application, and aims to provide ongoing support to the ESRD user community to foster accurate and timely monthly data submission. The measures required for reporting under the ESRD Quality Incentive Program are designed to reflect the appropriate level of care and the most important areas of service furnished by renal dialysis facilities. Measure data are intended to be publicly reported.

Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for a revision to the umbrella Generic for Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Program Monitoring Activities. The overall proposed purposes, uses, and scope of the umbrella remain unchanged. The only changes are to the burden estimates, as described in sections A12 and A15. The Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities allows ACF program offices to collect standardized information from recipients that receive Federal funds to ensure oversight, evaluation, support purposes, and stewardship of Federal funds. The information is necessary to ensure compliance with Federal and programmatic requirements, monitor progress on recipient activities, and determine and respond to recipient needs such as Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA). ACF is primarily a grant-making agency that promotes the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities with partnerships, funding, guidance, T/TA. ACF program offices have evolving monitoring needs, dependent on both internal and external factors, such as but not limited to: current grantee activities, needs; uses of federal funds; changes to aspects of programs based on statutory authority, federal regulations or policy, and/or Congressional appropriations; availability of program office funds for site visits (v. desk monitoring); matters of importance related to national health and safety needs of the public, or other events that lead to program changes. There are times when standardized collections of information would be helpful for program offices as they monitor recipient activities and needs. This generic clearance allows program offices the flexibility to create tailored information collections based on current circumstances and to receive approval for these in a timely manner. This also allows for the implementation of standard recordkeeping requirements that align with the purpose and use of these monitoring data collections. This is important to allow for ACF’s: monitoring of compliance with federal practice, guidelines and requirements, • quick understanding of and remediation to national, regional, and/or site-specific issues, • provision of support as needed, • accurate assessment of the efficiency and efficacy of recipient activities, • documentation of promising practice, innovative services, and program strengths, • flexible and responsive oversight of federal funds.

Form S-1 Registration Statement

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) was enacted in order to provide full and fair disclosure with respect to publicly offered securities and to prevent fraud in connection with such offerings. The Securities Act carries out this purpose by requiring the filing of a registration statement in connection with public distributions of securities by issuers and their control persons. Schedule A of the Securities Act specifies the general types of information that must be disclosed in registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). The Commission has authority, under Section 19 of the Securities Act, to promulgate rules to carry out the provisions of the Securities Act. Form S-1 (17 CFR 239.11) is a general registration form used to register the public offering of securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”). Form S-1 may be used for the registration under the Securities Act of securities of all registrants for which no other form is authorized or prescribed, except that this Form shall not be used for securities of foreign governments or political subdivisions thereof or asset-backed securities. The information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors in connection with securities offerings.

Form S-3 - Registration Statement

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) was designed to prevent misrepresentation, deceit and other fraudulent acts and practices in the sale of securities. Section 5 of the Securities Act requires that a registration statement be filed before any security is publicly offered, and that the registration statement be effective before any security is sold. Section 7 of the Securities Act and Schedule A outlines the information that must be contained in a registration statement. Section 7 gives the Commission the authority to vary such disclosure for various classes of issuers and securities. The Commission has used its statutory authority to develop a number of specialized registration statement forms that tailor disclosure requirements based on the type of offering, issuer, or other parameters, thereby eliminating burdensome and unnecessary requirements while maintaining investor protection. Form S-3 (17 CFR 239.13) is a short-form securities registration statement that is available to issuers that meet certain registrant and transaction eligibility requirements under the form. The purpose of the information collection is to provide disclosure of material financial and other information with which investors may evaluate the merits of securities in order to make investment decisions.

Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA)

Key Information

Abstract

As part of SSA’s strategy to assist SSDI) beneficiaries and SSI recipients who wish to return to work and achieve self-sufficiency, SSA established the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program. This community based, work incentive, planning and assistance project collects identifying claimant information via project sites and community work incentives coordinators (CWIC). SSA uses this information to ensure proper management of the project, with particular emphasis on administration, budgeting, and training. In addition, project sites and CWIC’s collect data from SSDI beneficiaries and SSI recipients on background employment, training, benefits, and work incentives. SSA is interested in identifying SSDI beneficiary and SSI recipient outcomes under the WIPA program, to determine the extent to which beneficiaries with disabilities and SSI recipients achieve their employment, financial, and healthcare goals. SSA will also use the data in its analysis and future planning for SSDI and SSI programs. Respondents are SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, community project sites, and employment advisors. We are making a non-substantive change request to the WIPA Case notes to enhance task tracking for users and to strengthen the oversight and management capabilities for WIPA.

Key Information

Abstract

On May 12, 2020, the Commission adopted Amendment of Section 73.3580 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding Public Notice of the Filing of Applications; Modernization of Media Regulation Initiative; Revision of the Public Notice Requirements of Section 73.3580, Second Report and Order, MB Docket Nos. 17-254, 17-105, & 05-6, FCC 20-65 (rel. May 13, 2020). The Commission adopted new, streamlined procedures for stations to provide public notice of the filing of certain applications. Stations, including stations filing for new construction permits or major modifications to facilities, that were previously required to post public notice in a local newspaper, must now post notice online, either on the station website or a website affiliated with the station, its licensee, or its parent entity, or else must post notice on a publicly accessible, locally targeted website, for 30 continuous days following acceptance of the application for filing. Stations that are required to make on-air announcements of the filing of certain applications, must continue to do so, but the announcements are shorter and direct viewers and listeners to the application as filed and displayed in either the station’s Online Public Inspection File or another Commission database. A total of six on-air announcements are required, at least one per week and no more than one per day or two per week, to be broadcast between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday, beginning after the application is accepted for filing. This submission is being made to OMB for approval of the modified third-party disclosure requirements for this Information Collection, as adopted in the 2020 Public Notice Second Report and Order. The changes pertaining to this Information Collection and to 47 CFR § 73.3580 adopted in the 2020 Public Notice Second Report and Order, which are listed below, do not necessitate changes to the Schedule 301, nor do they affect the substance, burden hours, or costs of completing the forms. The rule changes do, however, reduce burdens and costs associated with filing the application.

FCC Form 2100, Schedule 340 – Noncommercial Educational Station for Reserved Channel Construction Permit Application

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission is requesting an extension of this information collection in order to receive approval/clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for three years. FCC Form 2100, Schedule 340, Noncommercial Educational Station for Reserved Channel Construction Permit Application (Schedule 340), is used to apply for authority to construct a new full-service noncommercial educational (NCE ) FM or DTV broadcast station (including a DTS facility ), to make changes in an authorized NCE broadcast station, or to amend a pending Schedule 340 application. Schedule 340 is used only if the station will operate on a channel that is reserved exclusively for NCE use, or in the situation where applications for NCE stations on non-reserved channels are mutually exclusive only with one another. Also, Schedule 340 is used by Native American Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (Tribes), Tribal consortia, or entities owned or controlled by Tribes when qualifying for the “Tribal Priority” under 47 CFR §§ 73.7000, 73.7002. Schedule 340’s Online Notice (third party disclosure) Requirement: 47 CFR Section 73.3580, as amended in the Commission’s 2020 Public Notice Second Report and Order, discussed below, requires local public notice of the filing of all applications to construct a new full-service NCE FM or DTV broadcast station. Notice is given by an applicant posting notice of the application filing on its station website, its licensee website, its parent entity website, or on a publicly accessible, locally targeted website, for 30 consecutive days beginning within five business days of acceptance of the application for filing. The online notice must link to a copy of the application as filed, either in the station’s Online Public Inspection File or in another Commission database.
