Commercial Motor Vehicle Marking Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for an extension and modification of a previously approved ICR. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) vehicle marking regulations in 49 CFR part 390 require freight-carrying motor carriers, intrastate hazardous materials transporting motor carriers, passenger-carrying motor carriers, and intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) engaging in interstate transportation to display certain information on their vehicles or equipment. The USDOT number is used to identify all motor carriers in FMCSA's registration and information systems. It is also used by States as the key identifier in the Performance and Registration Information Systems Management system, a cooperative Federal/State program that makes motor carrier safety a requirement for obtaining and maintaining commercial motor vehicle registration and privileges. The marking requirements are mandatory and apply to freight-carrying commercial motor carriers (i.e., trucking companies), passenger-carrying commercial motor carriers, and intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) engaging in interstate transportation. The Agency provides performance-based requirements for the marking but does not require a specific method of marking as long as the method complies with FMCSA’s regulations. These requirements ensure that FMCSA, NTSB and the States are able to identify motor carriers and correctly assign responsibility for regulatory violations during inspections, investigations, compliance reviews, and crash studies. These requirements will also provide the public with beneficial information that could also assist in identifying carriers for the purposes of commerce, complaints or emergency notification. The appropriate marking of vehicles, owned, leased or rented, assists FMCSA in identifying motor carriers and monitoring the safety performance and crash involvement, thereby helping the Agency identify unsafe, high risk motor carriers. This ICR also greatly assists FMCSA and its State partners in meeting the standard burden of proof for enforcement actions against non-compliant carriers, as well as assists State partners during accident investigations in determining the responsible motor carrier involved in a CMV crash. The regulations include a marking requirement, which depending on the need and method could be permanent or temporary. Only enough information is collected to maintain tracking of intermodal equipment. There are 4 ICs as follows:IC1: Freight-carrying Commercial Motor Carriers; IC2: Intrastate Hazardous Materials Transporting Motor Carriers; IC3: Passenger-carrying Commercial Motor Carriers; and IC4: Intermodal Equipment Providers (IEPs).

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Annual Report on Households Assisted

Key Information

Abstract

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621) was established under Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, P. L. 97-35. The Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) administers LIHEAP at the federal level. The LIHEAP Household Report is an annual data collection effort conducted by OCS to collect information from LIHEAP grantees to meet statutory requirements and program objectives. The LIHEAP statute requires the collection of data on the number of households assisted, their income levels, and vulnerability group, by type of LIHEAP assistance, for inclusion in the Secretary’s annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. The data are collected through the LIHEAP Household Report, which consists of the following: (1) a Long Format for state grant recipients, the District of Columbia, and select territory grant recipients, and (2) a Short Format for tribal grant recipients and select territory grant recipients. The LIHEAP Annual Household Report Long and Short Formats have been revised to reduce respondent burden, improve clarity of reporting instruments, and ensure the collection remains focused on current statutory and programmatic requirements. Revisions include eliminating the lines inquiring about CARES and ARPA funds as they are no longer applicable and removing the sections asking about the applicant's sex, race and ethnicity as this information is not statutorily required.

Emergency Relief Funding Applications

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is seeking OMB renewed of the three-year approved clearance for Emergency Relief Funding Applications (OMB Control No. 2125-0525). States are required to submit an application for emergency relief (ER) funds to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to receive Federal-aid highway disaster assistance. The law on the ER program, 23 U.S.C. 125(a), requires a finding by the Secretary of Transportation that the damage is sufficiently serious to warrant Federal funding for repairs. In order to make this determination, the Secretary relies on the information provided in the State's application for disaster assistance. The authority and responsibility of the Federal Highway Administrator to prescribe policies and procedures for the proper submission of information necessary to allow this determination is established at 23 U.S.C. 315. State Transportation Departments (State DOTs), equivalent highway agencies in the District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Territories of Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa, and Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs) submit ER applications to the FHWA for review and approval as events occur. Once the application is accepted by FHWA, the Applicant may be reimbursed with Federal funds. Without the information, an ER funding determination cannot be made. Per 23 CFR 668.111(c), the ER application must include a copy of the Governor's proclamation, request for a Presidential declaration, or a Presidential declaration and a copy of the damage survey summary report (DSSR), as appropriate. The DSSR includes a description of the types and extent of damage to highways and a preliminary estimate of cost of restoration or reconstruction for damaged facilities in each jurisdiction. As provided in 23 U.S.C. 125(d)(1)(B), States are required to submit an application for ER funding to FHWA within two calendar years of the date of disaster. The application must include a comprehensive list of all eligible project sites and repair costs. 23 CFR 668.111(b)(2) provides that unless very unusual circumstances prevail, the damage survey summary report should be prepared within 6 weeks following the applicant's notification. 23 CFR 668.113(a) provides that the State should submit to the FHWA Division Administrator a program of projects which defines the work needed to restore or replace the damaged facilities within 3 months of the receipt of the initial disaster notification.

Swap Recordkeeping Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The CFTC requests approval for the renewal of the information collections associated with the Swap Recordkeeping regulations under OMB Clearance No. 3038-0090. The information collection obligations imposed by the “Adaptation of Regulations to Incorporate Swaps” regulations are necessary to implement section 721 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which amended the definitions of futures commission merchant (“FCM”) and introducing broker (“IB”) to permit these intermediaries to trade swaps on behalf of customers. They also are necessary to implement section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act which introduced swap execution facilities (“SEFs”) as a new trading platform for swaps. As a result of the enactment of sections 721 and 733, the Commission amended certain recordkeeping regulations (1.31, 1.33, 1.35, 1.37, and 1.39) so that records of swap transactions are maintained analogously to how futures transactions are maintained. Further, the “Exclusion of Utility Operations-Related Swaps With Utility Special Entities From De Minimis Threshold for Swaps With Special Entities” regulation amended the Commission’s swap dealer definition to permit a person to exclude “utility operations-related swaps” with “utility special entities” in their de minimis threshold calculations. The regulation requires a person claiming the exclusion to maintain in accordance with Commission regulation 1.31 any written representations that the person receives from utility special entities related to this exclusion.

Registration of Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants

Key Information

Abstract

Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) Section 4s(a) (7 U.S.C. 6s(a)) makes it unlawful for a swap dealer (SD) or major swap participant (MSP) to act as such unless registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). CEA Section 4s(b) (7 U.S.C. 6s(b)) requires that registration of SDs and MSPs be accomplished by filing an application in such form and manner as provided by the CFTC, containing such information as the CFTC considers necessary concerning the applicant’s business. Pursuant to regulations adopted by the CFTC pursuant to CEA Section 4s(b), SDs and MSPs are required to register on Form 7-R and principals listed by SDs and MSPs must submit Form 8-R. CFTC Form 7-R (for firms) and Form 8-R (for natural persons) request information about the applicant that is necessary to assess the applicant’s fitness to engage in business in the registration categories referenced above, subject to regulation and oversight by the CFTC. (1st IC) Commission Regulation 3.21(e) provides generally that, in lieu of submitting a fingerprint card for a foreign natural person who has not resided in the U.S. since the person’s 18th birthday, a swap dealer or major swap participant may certify that a criminal history background check of such foreign natural person has not revealed any matter that would statutorily disqualify him or her from being registered or listed as a principal. (2nd IC) Commission Regulation 23.23 addresses the cross-border application of the registration thresholds and certain requirements applicable to SDs and MSPs,and establishes a formal process for requesting comparability determinations from the Commission to permit substituted compliance with such requirements.

National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) Data Security Requirements for Accessing Confidential Data

Key Information

Abstract

Title III of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (hereafter referred to as the Evidence Act) mandates that OMB establish a Standard Application Process (SAP) for requesting access to certain confidential data assets. Specifically, the Evidence Act requires OMB to establish a common application process through which agencies, the Congressional Budget Office, State, local, and Tribal governments, researchers, and other individuals, as appropriate, may apply for access to confidential data assets collected, accessed, or acquired by a statistical agency or unit. This new process will be implemented while maintaining stringent controls to protect confidentiality and privacy, as required by law. The fulfillment of NCSES’s data security requirements places a degree of burden on individuals, which is outlined below.

10 CFR Part 61, Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE: Integrated Low-Level Radioactive Waste, 10 CFR Part 61 The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to require LLW disposal facilities to conduct site-specific technical analyses to demonstrate compliance with the performance objectives of 10 CFR part 61. The intent of the rule is to ensure performance objectives are met at disposal sites for disposal of LLW that was not analyzed in the original 10 CFR part 61 regulatory basis (e.g., significant quantities of depleted uranium, GTCC waste). The site-specific technical analyses would include compliance period analyses with both a performance assessment and an intruder assessment, performance period analyses to evaluate how the disposal system could mitigate the risk from long-lived LLW, and an LLW acceptance plan identifying the WAC for the disposal facility. In addition, licensees must review their LLW acceptance plan annually and update analyses as part of the application for closure. The information collection would be conducted to demonstrate compliance with the performance objectives in 10 CFR part 61 and develop criteria for LLW acceptance based on the results of these analyses that would continue to ensure the safe disposal of LLW. Information would be used by the NRC to ensure compliance with the performance objectives in subpart C of 10 CFR part 61 to ensure that LLW streams that are significantly different from those considered during the development of the original regulations can be disposed of safely and meet the performance objectives for land disposal of LLW. These amendments would also increase the use of site-specific information to better ensure that public health and safety continues to be protected.

This OMB Control Number covers hazardous materials shipping papers and emergency response information, which in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180), are required to accompany each shipment of hazardous materials in commerce. On April 10, 2024, PHMSA published the HM-215Q final rule titled “Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With International Standards” [89 FR 25434]. This final rule revises § 173.185(c)(4) to require that shippers and carriers of small lithium batteries not contained in equipment have shipping papers and perform Notice of Pilot in Command (NOPIC) checks when transported by air.
