FERC-545, Gas Pipeline Rates: Rate Change (Non-formal) (Final Rule in Docket RM96-1-044)

Key Information

Abstract

FERC-545 is required to implement sections 4, 5, and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), (15 USC 717c, 717d, and 717o). NGA Sections 4, 5, and 16 authorize the Commission to inquire into rate structures and methodologies and to set rates at a just and reasonable level. Specifically, a natural gas company must obtain Commission authorization for all rates and charges made, demanded, or received in connection with the transportation or sale of natural gas in interstate commerce. In the Final Rule, the Commission proposes to amend its regulations at 18 CFR 284.12 to incorporate by reference, with certain enumerated exceptions, Version 4.0 of Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines adopted by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB). These amendments, if implemented, would affect FERC-545 by requiring filers to establish compliant mechanisms to share and post information which would be included in their rates on file with the Commission.

Chafee Strengthening Outcomes for Transition to Adulthood (Chafee SOTA) Project Overarching Generic

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a 3-year extension of an overarching generic clearance to submit individual information collection (GenIC) requests for evaluations of programs serving youth transitioning out of foster care as part of the Chafee SOTA Project. Potential data collection efforts will request similar information using similar methods, which could include conducting interviews/focus groups, and surveys with current, past, or potential participants in programs serving youth with foster care experience (e.g., including potential participants who are included in comparison groups). The purpose of these efforts is to inform ACF programming by building evidence about what works to improve outcomes for the target population, and to identify innovative learning methods that address common evaluation challenges. The iterative and rapid nature of the methods to be utilized, as well as the necessity of ongoing, authentic engagement of experts with lived experience, poses a challenge to complying with the timeline for seeking full approval of each individual information collection activity subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Since ACF knows the types of methods that will be used and types of information that will be requested but does not have information needed to tailor the information to each site. This information will not be available until a date closer to when studies will begin, ACF sought approval for an overarching generic clearance to conduct this work. This work is ongoing and an extension is being requested. In this request ACF has reduced the number and type of potential respondents and the number of responses per respondent to reduce the overall expected burden for the project. For each GenIC, instruments will be tailored to the specific intervention and the specific site; once a set of instruments for a particular site is developed, and prior to use in the field, ACF will submit a supporting statement Part A and B and the specific instruments to be used to OMB for approval.

FERC-549C, Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines (Final Rule in Docket No. RM96-1-044)

Key Information

Abstract

The Final Rule, revises the information collection activities in FERC-549C. This NOPR seeks to incorporate by reference a modified WGQ Version 4.0. This modification added a new standard, WGQ Standard No. 0.3.30, to the Additional Standards manual, which supports a natural gas transportation service provider in posting scheduled quantity information for power plants directly connected to the pipeline, as part of the newly established Gas Electric Coordination category. This modification establishes a new information posting category, Gas Electric Coordination, for use by a transportation service provider as part of its Informational Postings Web site. The revised WGQ Standard No. 4.3.23 creates a central location on an Informational Postings Web site where a transportation service provider can post publicly available data, including scheduled quantity information, to help RTOs/ISOs and other parties access these data. Further, a new standard was added WGQ Standard No. 5.3.74 under the Capacity Release Related Standards manual, to support the inclusion of geographic information when a natural gas transportation service provider issues a critical notice, such as geographic information of impacted areas, locations, and pipeline facilities.

Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to amend its regulations that govern the licensing of uranium mills and the disposition of tailings and waste that arise from the extraction and milling of uranium by issuing risk-informed requirements for groundwater protection at uranium in situ recovery (ISR) facilities. The NRC’s current regulations are focused on conventional uranium milling and do not expressly address uranium extraction by the ISR process. Additionally, NRC proposes to amend its regulations that govern decommissioning timeliness for all licensees to provide additional flexibility for licensees to delay the initiation of decommissioning activities in situations where safety would not be impacted.

Submissions of Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) Waiver Submission and Data Collection (CMS-10950)

Key Information

Abstract

Acute Hospital Care at Home is a waiver initiative established by CMS on November 23, 2020 in response to the unprecedented strain on hospital capacity due to the severe national increase in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) witnessed. This waiver, which is granted at the individual hospital/CMS Certification Number (CCN) level, waives §482.23(b) and (b)(1) of the Hospital Conditions of Participation (CoPs) which require nursing services to be provided on premises 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and the immediate availability of a registered nurse for care of any patient. In exchange for this flexibility, hospitals will utilize models of at-home hospital care that have seen prior success in several leading hospital institutions and networks. This care and its results have been reported in leading academic journals, including a major study funded by a Healthcare Innovation Award from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). This extensive research has shown that quality and safety are at least as high as that received by similar patients admitted to traditional brick and mortar hospitals.

Loans to Plan Participants and Beneficiaries Who Are Parties in Interest with Respect to the Plan Regulation

Key Information

Abstract

Section 406(a)(1)(B) of ERISA prohibits the lending of money or other extensions of credit between a plan and a party in interest. A statutory exemption is provided in ERISA section 408(b)(1), which exempts plan loans made to participants and beneficiaries from the prohibited transaction provisions of sections 406(a), (b)(1), and (b)(2) of ERISA if the loans: (A) are made available to all participants and beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent basis; (B) are not made available to highly compensated employees, officers, or shareholders in an amount greater than the amount made available to other employees; (C) are made in accordance with specific provisions regarding such loans set forth in the plan; (D) bear a reasonable rate of interest; and (E) are adequately secured. For purposes of this information collection, section 408(b)(1)(C) of ERISA requires plan loans to be made in accordance with specific provisions set forth in the plan document. The Department's regulation at 29 CFR 2550.408b-1(d) prescribes eight specific provisions that must be included in the plan documents, including: (1) an explicit authorization for the plan fiduciary responsible for investing plan assets to establish such a loan program; (2) the identity of the person or position authorized to administer the program; (3) a procedure for applying for loans; (4) the basis on which loans will be approved or denied; (5) limitations (if any) on the types and amounts of loans offered; (6) the procedure for determining a reasonable rate of interest; (7) types of collateral that may secure a participant loan; and (8) the events constituting default and the steps that will be taken to preserve plan assets in the event of such default.

Depredation and Control Orders Under 50 CFR 21, Subpart D

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is associated with regulations implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.). The MBTA implements four treaties concerning migratory birds that the United States has signed with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia. Under the treaties, we must preserve most species of birds in the United States, and activities involving migratory birds are prohibited except as authorized by regulation. We collect information concerning depredation actions taken under 50 CFR 21.43 (authorizes the take of blackbirds, cowbirds, crows, grackles, and magpies under certain circumstances) and 50 CFR 21.46 (authorizes the take of scrub jays and Steller’s jays in Washington and Oregon under certain circumstances). We collect the information to determine how many birds of each species are taken each year and whether the control actions are likely to affect the populations of those species. 50 CFR 21.43(f )(6) requires that when an injured or debilitated bird of a nontarget species is federally listed as an endangered, threatened, or candidate species, you must deliver it to a rehabilitator and report the take to the nearest U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Field Office or Special Agent.

Large Trader Reports

Key Information

Abstract

The CFTC is proposing rules that would specify reporting requirements that would apply to fully collateralized event contracts. Those reporting requirements are generally applicable to futures and options contracts. The reporting rules are primarily implemented by the Commission pursuant to §§ 4a, 4c(b), 4g, and 4i of the CEA. Section 4a of the CEA, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), requires the Commission to set and enforce speculative position limits with respect to both futures and swaps. Section 4c(b) gives the Commission plenary authority to regulate transactions that involve commodity options. Section 4g(a) of the CEA requires, among other things, each futures commission merchant (“FCM”), introducing broker, floor broker, and floor trader to file such reports as the Commission may require on proprietary and customer transactions and positions in commodities for future delivery on any board of trade in the United States or elsewhere. In addition, § 4g(b) requires registered entities to maintain daily trading records as required by the Commission, and § 4g(c) requires floor brokers, introducing brokers, and FCMs to maintain their own daily trading records for each customer in such manner and form as to be identifiable with the daily trading records maintained by registered entities. Section 4g(d) permits the Commission to require that such daily trading records be made available to the Commission. Lastly, § 4i of the CEA mandates the filing of such reports as the Commission may require when positions taken or obtained on DCMs equal or exceed Commission-set levels. Collectively, these CEA provisions warrant the maintenance of an effective and rigorous system of market and financial surveillance. The reporting rules at issue implicate information collection requirements via §§ 16.00, 17.00, and Part 21 (OMB control number 3038-0009), § 16.01 (OMB control number 3038-0012), and, §§ 17.01, 18.04, and 18.05 (OMB control number 3038-0103).

Agricultural Worker Protection Standard Training, Notification and Recordkeeping (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR estimates the recordkeeping and third-party response burden of paperwork activities that covers the information collection requirements contained in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) regulations at 40 CFR part 170. Agricultural employers and commercial pesticide handling establishments (CPHEs) are responsible for providing required training, notifications and information to their employees to ensure worker and handler safety. The WPS regulations have provisions for training and notification of pesticide-related information for workers who enter pesticide-treated areas after pesticide application to perform crop-related tasks, as well as for handlers who mix, load, and apply pesticides. Agricultural employers and CPHEs are responsible for providing required training, notifications, and information to their employees to ensure worker and handler safety. The WPS regulation includes content and annual training requirements for workers and handlers, improved posting of pesticide-treated areas, additional information for workers before they enter a pesticide-treated area while a restricted entry interval (REI) is in effect. Furthermore, it covers access to more general and application-specific information about pesticides used on the establishment, and recordkeeping of training and application/hazard information to improve enforceability and compliance.
