Abstract

This is a renewal request. Air carriers, operators that are members of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF), or direct contractors to DoD supporting the President's initiatives are required to respond to this collection and in return receive the benefit of insurance.

Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery

Key Information

Abstract

Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. In order to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet our customers’ needs, the Department of Defense (hereafter “the Agency”) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Assessments for Children and Sponsors

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain lawful immigration status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State-licensed, except those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary emergency or influx care facilities and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. In order to adequately provide for the safety and wellbeing of children in ORR care, ORR conducts assessments of the child upon admission and at routine intervals while in ORR custody. Concurrently, ORR must identify and assess the suitability of potential sponsors and household members to ensure safe and timely release of the child to vetted and adult, qualified to provide for the child’s physical and emotional wellbeing. ORR uses several instruments to carry out its responsibilities with respect to UAC. These instruments are used, for example, to evaluate the child’s physical and mental health status, capture important biographic data, determine risk of sexual abuse or victimization, and enable ORR to track high-level milestones in the child’s case up through release. ORR has also developed an instrument to identify and screen potential sponsors. The instruments in this proposed information collection allow ORR to document the findings of these assessments as required by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 279); the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232); the Foundational Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 410; and the Prevention of Sexual Abuse Interim Final Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 411. Forms transferred from the Services information collection (OMB # 0970-0553) were last approved by OMB on August 22, 2024 and expire on April 30, 2025. Once approved, the Assessments information collection will contain a total of 9 unique, revised forms.

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with the Public Utility Holding Company Act 2005 (PUHCA 2005), the Commission requires centralized service companies to file FERC Form No. 60 or FERC-61, and comply with FERC-555A’s requirements unless the company is exempted or granted a waiver pursuant to the Commission’s regulations.

In addition, centralized service companies are required under 555A to retain core business and accounting data to enable the Commission to meet its mandated rate review responsibilities and for agency audits. FERC requests a three-year extension of the information collection requirements for FERC Form No. 60, FERC-61, and FERC-555A with no changes to the current reporting requirements.

Pathways to Partnerships Program Evaluation

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Education's Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) requests clearance for new data collection activities to support the evaluation of the 84.421E Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2023 Disability Innovation Fund (DIF), Pathways to Partnerships Innovative Model Demonstration Project. The purpose of the DIF, as provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-103), is to support innovative activities aimed at increasing competitive integrated employment as defined in section 7 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act) (29 U.S.C. 705(5)) for children, youth, and other individuals with disabilities. The program aims to create systematic and seamless approaches to offering transition services to children with disabilities, ages 10-13 and youth with disabilities ages 14 to 24 through collaborations among State vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies, State education agencies (SEAs), local education agencies (LEAs), Federally funded Centers for Independent Living (CILs), and other organizations offering services to this population. RSA is investing a total of $198,975,322 in grant funding to the 20 States through the FFY 2023 DIF. This request covers primary data collection activities for the National Evaluation of the Pathways to Partnerships Program. These activities include the following: o Surveys and interviews with program participants or their parent or guardian o Surveys with State VR, SEA, and CIL directors o Surveys and interviews with project staff o Collecting project administrative data (staff rosters, cost worksheets, and web analytics) from project directors In September 2023, RSA awarded five-year cooperative agreements for the 84.421E FFY 2023 DIF model demonstration projects. The awards provide 20 State VR agencies or SEAs with funding to implement Pathways to Partnerships model demonstration projects. The Pathways to Partnerships models vary across the 20 projects, but the projects' purpose is to create and implement systematic approaches to delivering transition services to children and youth with disabilities. The approaches must entail establishing close partnerships across key agencies to deliver these services in ways likely to improve the education and employment outcomes of children and youth with disabilities.
