Title: Import Inspection Application and Application for the Return of Exported Products to the United States.

OMB Number: 0583-0159.

Type of Request: Request to renew an approved information collection.

Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq. ), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et seq. ), and the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031, et seq. ). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by verifying that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.

FSIS is requesting a renewal of the approved information collection regarding import inspection applications. The approval for this information collection will expire on December 31, 2022. FSIS is making no changes to the information collection.

For each consignment of product exported to the United States, FSIS requires the government of the exporting country to provide a Foreign Inspection Certificate. On the Foreign Inspection Certificate, FSIS requires the date; the foreign country of export and the producing foreign establishment number; the species used to produce the product; the source country and foreign establishment number for amenable source materials, if they originate from a country other than the exporting country; the product's description, including the process category, the product category, and the product group; the name and address of the consignor or exporter; the name and address of the consignee or importer; the number of units and the shipping or identification marks on the units; the net weight of each lot and; any additional information the Administrator requests to determine whether the product is eligible to be imported into the U.S.

FSIS also requires an Import Inspection Application (FSIS Form 9540-1), which is completed by an applicant, usually an importer or customs broker. The information required on FSIS Form 9540-1, which is similar to that required on the foreign inspection certificate, may be submitted electronically or via paper application. If there is any discrepancy in importer or consignee information between the Import Inspection Application and the Foreign Inspection Certificate, FSIS would rely on the information provided on the Import Inspection Application. For any product-based information, the foreign inspection certificate information, which is certified by an official of the foreign government, would take precedence over information provided on the Import Inspection Application.

For importers and brokers participating in the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set, the information on FSIS Form 9540-1 is submitted electronically. FSIS would rely on any importer or consignee information electronically transferred from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to the FSIS Public Health Information System (PHIS) Import Component. Applicants that do not file this information electronically can submit paper applications (FSIS Form 9540-1) to FSIS inspection personnel at an official import inspection establishment. The applicant is required to submit the FSIS Form 9540-1 in advance of the shipment's arrival, but no later than when the entry is filed with CBP (9 CFR 327.5, 381.198, 557.5, 590.920).

When product inspected and passed by FSIS is exported, but then returned to this country, the owner, broker, or agent of the product (the applicant) arranges for the product's entry and notifies FSIS. In accordance with 9 CFR 327.17, 381.209, 557.17, and 590.965, exported product returned to this country is exempt from FSIS import inspection requirements upon notification to and approval from the Agency's Recall Management and Technical Analysis Division (RMTAD). RMTAD may require, however, that returned product be re-inspected at a federally-inspected facility for food safety and food defense determinations.

As part of this process, an applicant completes the FSIS Form 9010-1, Application for the Return of Exported Products to the United States. The purpose of the form is to allow RMTAD to decide whether re-inspection of the returned product is needed and to notify the appropriate FSIS office where to perform the re-inspection of the product, if necessary. If FSIS inspection program personnel determine that the product is safe and not adulterated or misbranded, the product may be released into domestic commerce.

FSIS has made the following estimates based upon an information collection assessment:

Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average .202 hours per response.

Estimated total number of respondents: 939.

Estimated annual number of responses: 244,354.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 49,385 hours.

All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record. Copies of this information collection assessment can be obtained from Gina Kouba, Office of Policy and Program Development, Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Mailstop 3758, South Building, Washington, DC 20250-3700; (202) 720-5627.

Article 1904 of NAFTA provides a dispute settlement mechanism for binational panel reviews of trade remedy determinations issued by the Government of the United States, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Mexico. On July 19, 2022, the NAFTA Binational Panel issued an Order affirming the Secretaria de Economia's Fourth Determination on Remand. Accordingly, the Notice of Completion of Panel Review is being issued pursuant to Rule 78 of the NAFTA Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 Binational Panel Reviews. For the complete NAFTA Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 Binational Panel Reviews, please see https://can-mex-usa-sec.org/secretariat/agreement-accord-acuerdo/nafta-alena-tlcan/rules-regles-reglas/index.aspx?lang=eng.

On May 4, 2021, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published AD and CVD orders on small vertical engines from China. 1 On September 17, 2021, in response to a request from Briggs & Stratton, LLC (the petitioner), 2 Commerce initiated a circumvention inquiry to determine whether imports of engines with displacements between 60cc and up to 99cc produced in China and exported to the United States are “altered in form or appearance in minor respects” from in-scope merchandise such that they should be considered subject to the Orders. 3 For a complete description of events that followed initiation of this inquiry, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 4

The merchandise subject to the Orders is small vertical engines from China. For a complete description of the scope of the Orders, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

This circumvention inquiry covers small vertical engines with displacements between 60cc and up to 99cc produced in China and exported to the United States.

Section 781(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), provides that Commerce may find circumvention of an AD or CVD order when merchandise of the same class or kind as subject merchandise has been “altered in form or appearance in minor respects . . . whether or not included in the same tariff classification.” Section 781(c)(2) of the Act provides an exception that “{p}aragraph 1 shall not apply with respect to altered merchandise if the administering authority determines that it would be unnecessary to consider the altered merchandise within the scope of the {order}.”

While the Act is silent as to what factors to consider in determining whether alterations are properly considered “minor,” the legislative history of this provision indicates that there are certain factors that should be considered before reaching a circumvention determination. In conducting a circumvention inquiry under section 781(c) of the Act, Commerce has generally relied upon “such criteria as the overall physical characteristics of the merchandise, the expectations of the ultimate users, the use of the merchandise, the channels of marketing and the cost of any modification relative to the total value of the imported products.”  5 Concerning the allegation of minor alteration under section 781(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.225(i), Commerce examines such factors as: (1) overall physical characteristics; (2) expectations of ultimate users; (3) use of merchandise; (4) channels of marketing; and (5) cost of any modification relative to the value of the imported products. 6 Each inquiry is highly dependent on the facts on the record and must be analyzed in light of those specific facts. 7 Thus, along with the five factors enumerated above, Commerce may also consider the circumstances under which the products enter the United States, including, but not limited to, the timing of the entries and the quantity of merchandise entered during the circumvention review period. 8

We preliminarily determine that small vertical engines with displacements between 60cc and up to 99cc and engines with displacements of 99cc up to 225cc are not dissimilar in terms of overall physical characteristics of the merchandise, the expectations of the ultimate users, the use of the merchandise, channels of marketing, and the timing and circumstances under which the Zongshen Companies exported the engines with displacements between 60cc and up to 99cc. 9 Because we find that the merchandise subject to this inquiry is not dissimilar to subject merchandise, we preliminarily determine that the engines at issue constitute merchandise “altered in form or appearance in minor respects” from in-scope merchandise, within the meaning of section 781(c)(1) of the Act. Also, we preliminarily determine that the affirmative circumvention finding should be applied on a countrywide basis.

For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached at the appendix to this notice.

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of small vertical engines between 60cc and up to 99cc produced in China and exported to the United States that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 17, 2021 ( i.e., the date of the initiation of this inquiry). 10 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), we will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits of estimated duties equal to the AD and CVD rates in effect for small vertical engines for each unliquidated entry of small vertical engines between 60cc and up to 99cc produced in China and exported to the United States that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 17, 2021. The suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.

Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination of circumvention and may submit case briefs and/or written comments within 14 days of the publication of this notice. 11 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than seven days after the date on which the case briefs are due. 12 Parties who submit case briefs of rebuttal briefs in this inquiry are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. 13 Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed electronically via ACCESS. 14 Note that Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice. 15

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically and received successfully in its entirety via ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 14 days after the date of publication of this notice. 16 Hearing requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the date and time for the hearing at a later date.

Section 781(f) of the Act provides that, to the maximum extent practicable, Commerce shall make its circumvention determinations within 300 days from the date of initiation of the inquiry. On July 14, 2022, we extended the final determination until August 25, 2022. 17 We determine that it is not practicable to make a final determination in this circumvention inquiry by the current deadline of August 25, 2022, because Commerce will require additional time to review and analyze case and rebuttal briefs. Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the final determination in this inquiry by 103 days, to December 6, 2022.

This affirmative preliminary circumvention determination is in accordance with section 781(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.225(i).

Pursuant to 15 CFR 921.33(c), a State must revise the management plan for a research reserve at least every five years. Changes to a reserve's management plan may be made only after receiving written approval from NOAA. NOAA approves changes to management plans via notice in the Federal Register . On March 14, 2022, NOAA issued a notice in the Federal Register announcing a thirty-day public comment period for the proposed revision of the management plan for the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (87 FR 14254). Responses to written and oral comments received, and an explanation of how comments were incorporated into the final versions of the revised management plans, are available in appendix C of the final plan.

The revised management plan outlines the reserve's strategic goals and objectives; administrative structure; programs for conducting research and monitoring, education, and training; resource protection, restoration, volunteer, and communications plans; prescribed fire and invasive species plans; consideration for future land acquisition; and facility development to support reserve operations.

The Rookery Bay revised management plan focuses on building upon past successes and accomplishments. Research and monitoring will focus on habitat mapping, wildlife communities, resource management and restoration, coastal change and resilience, and ecosystem services. Reserve education programming will focus on informed community and individual action as related to ecosystems, human connections, resilience, and outreach. The reserve is also planning on enhancing the use of technology in education programming and on building a robust interpretation program with volunteer staff. Coastal training will continue offering programs to professional audiences and conduct an updated needs assessment. The plan also includes the reserve monitoring the health of fish and bird communities, invasive species control efforts, and the use of prescribed fire as a management tool. In addition, the reserve is expecting to expand its strategic partnership with Florida International University.

Furthermore, no reserve boundary or acreage changes are incorporated into the revised management plan.

NOAA reviewed the environmental impacts of the Rookery Bay revised management plans and determined that these actions are categorically-excluded from further analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act, consistent with NOAA Administrative Order 216-6.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.; 15 CFR 921.33.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

Frequency: On occasion.

Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Number of Respondents: 34,842.

Annual Responses: 122,024.

Annual Burden Hours: 2,075,685 (includes 39,075 reporting hours and 2,036,610 recordkeeping hours).

Needs and Uses: The information collections under OMB Control Number 0704-0441 pertain to all information that offerors or contractors must submit related to DFARS contract quality assurance programs.

a. 252.246-7003, Notification of Potential Safety Issues. Contracting officers require timely notification of potential safety defects so that (1) systems and equipment likely affected by the situation can be readily identified, and (2) appropriate engineering investigation and follow-on actions can be taken to establish and mitigate risk.

b. 252.246-7005, Notice of Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items. The information provided by offerors under this solicitation provision alerts contracting officers in those cases where the offeror is proposing to provide a warranty for an individual contract line item for which DoD has not specified a warranty in the solicitation. The warranty notice will permit the Government to recognize and utilize any warranty after contract award.

c. 252.246-7006, Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items. The information provided by contractors allows DoD to track warranties for item unique identification (IUID) required items in the IUID registry to obtain maximum utility of warranties provided on contracted items. The identification and enforcement of warranties is essential to the effectiveness and efficiency of DoD's material readiness. Providing visibility and accountability of warranty data associated with acquired goods, from the identification of the requirement to the expiration date of the warranted item, significantly enhances DoD's ability to take full advantage of warranties, resulting in—

(1) Reduced costs;

(2) Ability to recognize benefits included at no additional cost;

(3) Ability to compare performance against Government-specified warranties; and

(4) Identification of sufficient durations for warranties for specific goods.

d. 252.246-7008, Sources of Electronic Parts. The contracting officer uses the information to ensure that the contractor performs the traceability of parts, additional inspection, testing, and authentication required when an electronic part is not obtained from a trusted supplier. The Government may also use this information to more actively perform acceptance.

Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 227.71, Rights in Technical Data, and Subpart 227.72, Rights in Computer Software and Computer Software Documentation, and related provisions and clauses; OMB Control Number 0704-0369.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

Reporting Frequency: On occasion.

Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Number of Respondents: 75,250.

Responses per Respondent: 13, approximately.

Annual Responses: 959,602.

Average Burden per Response: 1 hour, approximately.

Annual Response Burden Hours: 904,574.

Annual Recordkeeping Burden Hours: 90,600.

Total Annual Burden Hours: 995,174.

Needs and Uses: DFARS subparts 227.71 and 227.72 prescribe the use of solicitation provisions and contract clauses containing information collection requirements that are associated with rights in technical data and computer software. DoD needs this information to implement 10 U.S.C. 2320, Rights in technical data, and 10 U.S.C. 2321, Validation of proprietary data restrictions. DoD uses the information to recognize and protect contractor rights in technical data and computer software that are associated with privately funded development; and to ensure that technical data delivered under a contract are complete and accurate and satisfy contract requirements.

DoD uses the following DFARS provisions and clauses in solicitations and contracts to require offerors and contractors to identify and mark data or software requiring protection from unauthorized use, release, or disclosure in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320:

252.227-7013, Rights in Technical Data—Noncommercial Items.

252.227-7014, Rights in Noncommercial Computer Software and Noncommercial Computer Software Documentation.

252.227-7017, Identification and Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure Restrictions.

252.227-7018, Rights in Noncommercial Technical Data and Computer Software—Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited rights data to persons outside the Government, or allow those persons to use data with use, release, or disclosure restrictions, if the recipient agrees not to further release, disclose, or use the data. Therefore, the clause at DFARS 252.227-7013, Rights in Technical Data—Noncommercial Items, requires the contractor to identify and mark data or software that it provides with limited rights.

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2321(b), contractors and subcontractors at any tier must be prepared to furnish written justification for any asserted restriction on the Government's rights to use or release data. The following DFARS clauses require contractors and subcontractors to maintain adequate records and procedures to justify any asserted restrictions:

252.227-7019, Validation of Asserted Restrictions—Computer Software.

252.227-7037, Validation of Restrictive Markings on Technical Data.

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320, DoD must protect the rights of contractors that have developed items, components, or processes exclusively at private expense. Therefore, the clause at DFARS 252.227-7025, Limitations on the Use or Disclosure of Government-Furnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends, requires a contractor or subcontractor to submit a use and nondisclosure agreement when it obtains data from the Government to which the Government has less than unlimited rights. In addition, DFARS 227.7103-7, Use and nondisclosure agreement, requires intended recipients of technical data or computer software delivered to the Government with restrictions on use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure, to sign the use and nondisclosure agreement at 227.7103-7(c) prior to release or disclosure of the data, unless the recipient is a Government contractor that requires access to a third party's data or software for the performance of a Government contract that contains the clause at 252.227-7025, Limitations on Use or Disclosure of Government-Furnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends. According to 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited rights data to persons outside the Government, or allow those persons to use limited rights data, if the recipient agrees not to further use, release, or disclose the data.

The provision at DFARS 252.227-7028, Technical Data or Computer Software Previously Delivered to the Government, requires an offeror to identify any technical data or computer software that it previously delivered, or will deliver, under any Government contract. DoD needs this information to avoid paying for rights in technical data or computer software that the Government already owns.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Pub. L. 117-58) approximately $10.5 billion for the five-year period encompassing FY22 through FY26, to prevent outages and enhance the resilience of the electric grid, deploy technologies to enhance grid flexibility, and to demonstrate innovative approaches to power sector infrastructure resilience and reliability. Together, DOE refers to these programs as the GRIP program.

The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, State and local officials, labor unions, Tribes, community-based organizations (CBOs), and other stakeholders on issues related to the GRIP program.

To help inform DOE's implementation of the IIJA provisions referenced previously, this RFI seeks input on the following categories:

1. DOE's implementation strategy and approach for the GRIP program, both overall and for each of the individual topic areas.

2. DOE's approach to Community Benefits including engagement, quality jobs, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA), and Justice40.

3. Build America, Buy America requirements.

This is solely a request for information and is not a funding opportunity announcement. DOE is not accepting applications at this time and will not reimburse any of respondents' costs in preparing a response.

The complete GRIP program RFI can be found at: https://www.fedconnect.net/fedconnect/?doc=DE-FOA-0002827&agency=DOE.

The Draft FOA for FY22 and FY23 GRIP Funding can be found at: https://www.fedconnect.net/fedconnect/?doc=DE-FOA-0002740&agency=DOE.

Because information received in response to this RFI may be used to structure future programs and formula grant allocations and/or otherwise be made available to the public, respondents are strongly advised NOT to include any information in their responses that might be considered business sensitive, proprietary, or otherwise confidential. If, however, a respondent chooses to submit business sensitive, proprietary, or otherwise confidential information, it must be clearly and conspicuously marked as such in the response. Responses containing confidential, proprietary, or privileged information must be conspicuously marked as described below. Failure to comply with these marking requirements may result in the disclosure of the unmarked information under the Freedom of Information Act or otherwise. The U.S. Federal Government is not liable for the disclosure or use of unmarked information and may use or disclose such information for any purpose.

Confidential, Commercial, and Financial Information. Consistent with 10 CFR 1004.11, DOE requires that any person submitting information that he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit via email two well-marked copies: One copy of the document marked “Confidential Commercial and Financial Information” including all the information believed to be confidential, and one copy of the document marked “non-confidential” with the information believed to be confidential deleted. DOE will make its own determination about the confidential status of the information and treat it according to its determination. The copy containing confidential commercial and financial information must include a cover sheet marked as follows identifying the specific pages containing confidential, proprietary, or privileged information: “Notice of Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data: Pages [list applicable pages] of this response may contain confidential, commercial, or financial information that is exempt from public disclosure.” The Government may use or disclose any information that is not appropriately marked or otherwise restricted, regardless of source. In addition, (1) the header and footer of every page that contains confidential, proprietary, or privileged information must be marked as follows: “Contains Confidential, Commercial, or Financial Information Exempt from Public Disclosure” and (2) every line and paragraph containing proprietary, privileged, or trade secret information must be clearly marked with [[double brackets]] or highlighting.

Title: FERC-550, Oil Pipeline Rates—Tariff Filings and Depreciation Studies.

OMB Control No.: 1902-0089.

Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-550 information collection requirements with no revisions to the collection, but with adjustments in the burden estimates.

Abstract: FERC-550 is required to assist the Commission in implementing the duties and powers that were vested on October 1, 1977, in the Interstate Commerce Commission (49 U;S.C. 60502). The Commission's regulatory jurisdiction over oil pipelines includes:

• Regulation of rates and practices of oil pipeline companies engaged in interstate transportation;

• Establishment of equal service conditions to provide shippers with equal access to pipeline transportation; and

• Establishment of reasonable rates for transporting petroleum and petroleum products by pipeline.

The filing requirements for oil pipeline tariffs and rates  1 put in place by the FERC-550 data collection provide the Commission with the information it needs to analyze proposed tariffs, rates, fares, and charges of oil pipelines and other carriers in connection with the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products. Specifically, these filings typically include indexing, market-based rates, or initial rate filings. The Commission uses this information to determine whether the proposed tariffs and rates are just and reasonable.

The Commission's regulations at 18 CFR parts 341 through 348 provide that letters of transmittal must describe the filings and explain any changes to the carrier's rates, rules, terms or conditions of service; state if a waiver is being requested, and specify the statute, section, regulation, policy, or order requested to be waived; and identify the tariffs supplemental numbers, or tariff sections and the proposed effective date of the tariff publication. The letter of transmittal must certify that the filing has been sent to each subscriber of the tariff publication. A carrier may file to amend or modify a tariff contained in a tariff filing at any time during the pendency of the filing. Carriers must cancel tariffs when the service or transportation movement is terminated. If the service in connection with the tariff is no longer in interstate commerce, the tariff publication must state so. Whenever the tariff of a carrier on file with the Commission is to be adopted by another carrier as a result of an acquisition, merger, or name change, the succeeding company must file with the Commission, and post within 30 days after such succession, the tariff, or portion thereof, that has been adopted in the electronic format required by § 341.1 bearing the name of the successor company.

The Commission's regulation at 18 CFR 347.1 provides that oil pipelines must file material to support requests for newly established or changed property account depreciation studies. It requires an applicant to file electronically, and the transmittal letter must give a general description of the change in depreciation rates, certify that the transmittal also has been sent to each shipper and to each subscriber, and state if there are no subscribers. The proposed depreciation rates being established must be used until they are either accepted or modified by the Commission. Rates in effect at the time of the proposed revision must continue to be used until the proposed revised rates are approved or modified by the Commission. The oil pipeline must provide information in sufficient detail to fully explain and justify the proposed rates. Modifications, additions, and deletions to data elements should be made to reflect the individual circumstances of the carrier's properties and operations.

Type of Respondent: Oil Pipelines.

Estimate of Annual Burden:   2 The burden related to this collection now includes a new line item, Depreciation Studies, which is currently approved by OMB under the FERC collection FERC-550 (1902-0089), but historically was combined with other requirements outlined in 18 CFR parts 341 through 348. Depreciation studies are required if an oil pipeline seeks to modify the depreciation rates they have in their existing tariffs. Since these filings are submitted only for pipelines seeking modification, and are more rare (<10% of filings) than other reporting requirements such as indexing. Staff is correcting the estimates by adding a new line item specific to depreciation studies. Based on recent experience with this collection, staff estimates that 22 respondents will file a depreciation study each year. By separating depreciation studies from tariff filings, this adjustment will allocate 880 total burden hours to the depreciation studies line item now being added.

In another adjustment, the number of hours for Oil Rates and Tariff Filings will decrease from 7.8 hours to 7 hours per respondent due to the hour allocation going to the second line (Depreciation Studies) in the table below. Additionally, since the previous renewal, the number of respondents to Oil Rates and Tariff filings also increased from 219 to 258 based on the number of filings received by the Commission. The overall revised burden estimates result to an increase to 280 (+61) respondents, 796 (+86) responses, and 6,298 hours (+760).

The Commission estimates the annual public reporting burden and cost  3 for the FERC-550 information collection as follows:

Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Supporting documents which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i) evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register document to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Abstract: Producers of pesticides and pesticide devices must maintain certain records with respect to their operations and make such records available for inspection and copying as specified in section 8 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and in regulations at 40 CFR part 169.

This information collection is mandatory under 40 CFR part 169. It is used by the Agency to determine compliance with FIFRA. The information is used by EPA Regional pesticide enforcement and compliance staffs, the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), and the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) within the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and other Federal agencies, States under Cooperative Enforcement Agreements, and the public. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Form numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Producers of pesticides and pesticide devices for sale or distribution in or exported to the United States.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 169).

Estimated number of respondents: 19,027 (total).

Frequency of response: Annual.

Total estimated burden: 15,078 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $372,721 (per year). There are no annualized capital or O&M costs associated with this ICR since all equipment associated with this ICR is present as part of ordinary business practices.

Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 42,054 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease of 42,054 hours is a result of our reassessment of the assumptions used to estimate the burden of this ICR. Adjustments resulted from corrections of clerical or computational errors in the previous ICR renewal supporting statement. Further adjustments to the burden estimates resulted from (1) adjustments in the salary computation for industry to reflect current wage scales, (2) adjustments for inflation, and (3) adjustment to the number of respondents.

Please see the draft general permit and fact sheet.

This action is not a significant regulatory action and was therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review.

In accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), an Environmental Assessment (EA) and associated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for a proposed facility at Cassimer Bar that would be covered under this general permit are available for review and comment along with this general permit.

Background on the CPSTF: The CPSTF is an independent, nonfederal panel whose members are appointed by the CDC Director. CPSTF members represent a broad range of research, practice, and policy expertise in prevention, wellness, health promotion, and public health. The CPSTF was convened in 1996 by HHS to identify community preventive programs, services, and policies that increase health, longevity, save lives and dollars, and improve Americans' quality of life. CDC is mandated to provide ongoing administrative, research, and technical support for the operations of the CPSTF. During its meetings, the CPSTF considers the findings of systematic reviews of existing research and practice-based evidence and issues recommendations. CPSTF recommendations are not mandates for compliance or spending. Instead, they provide information about evidence-based options that decision makers and affected community members can consider when they are determining what best meets the specific needs, preferences, available resources, and constraints of their jurisdictions and constituents. The CPSTF's recommendations, along with the systematic reviews of the evidence on which they are based, are compiled on the Community Guide website ( www.thecommunityguide.org ).

Matters proposed for discussion: The agenda will consist of deliberation on systematic reviews of literature and is open to the public. Topics will include Mental Health; Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity; Social Determinants of Health; and Substance Use. Information regarding the start and end times for each day, and any updates to agenda topics, will be available on the Community Guide website ( www.thecommunityguide.org ) closer to the date of the meeting.

The meeting agenda is subject to change without notice.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.

The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses; and

5. Assess information collection costs.

Monitoring and Reporting for the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) Co-Operative Agreement (OMB Control No. 0920-1283, Exp. 1/31/2023)—Revision—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) seeks OMB approval for the Revision of this previously approved Information Collection Request (ICR) (OMB Control No. 0920-1283, Exp. 1/31/2023) to continue collecting information from jurisdictions funded under the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) funding opportunity.

Drug overdose deaths in the United States increased by 18% per year from 2014 to 2016. Opioid overdose deaths have increased fivefold from 1999 to 2016 and in 2017, there were more than 47,000 deaths attributed to opioids. While the opioid overdose epidemic worsens in scope and magnitude, it is also becoming more complex. The complex and changing nature of the opioid overdose epidemic highlights the need for an interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and cohesive public health approach.

The purpose of the OD2A is to support funded jurisdictions in obtaining high quality, complete, and timelier data on opioid prescribing and overdoses, and to use those data to inform prevention and response efforts. The intent is to ensure that funded jurisdictions are well equipped to do rigorous work under both components, and to ensure that these components are linked and implemented as part of a system. This Revision request is also intended to initiate collection of new information from jurisdictions (which include states and Washington, DC) funded under the OD2A in States, as well as to collect new information from jurisdictions (which include U.S. Territories, cities, and counties) funded under the OD2A Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities.

This information is being collected to provide crucial data to CDC for program monitoring and budget tracking, to improve timely CDC-recipient communications, and to inform technical assistance and guidance documents produced by CDC to support program implementation among funded jurisdictions. Ultimately, the information feedback loop created by these information collection tools is designed to help jurisdictions decrease fatal and nonfatal overdoses. It will also provide CDC with the capacity to respond in a timely manner to requests for information about the program from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House, Congress, and other sources.

CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 1,075 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.

This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated with the following information collections. More detailed information can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated materials (see ADDRESSES ).

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term “collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires federal agencies to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.

1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Annual Notice of Change and Evidence of Coverage for Applicable Integrated Plans in States that Require Integrated Materials; Use: CMS requires AIPs to use the approved standardized documents to ensure that correct information is disclosed to current and potential enrollees. Additionally, CMS requires AIPs to submit the completed ANOC and EOC documents to CMS. CMS stores the completed templates. New and current enrollees can review the ANOC and EOC upon receipt to find plan benefits, premiums and cost sharing for the coming year to be in a better position to make informed and educated plan selections. CMS does not require new and current enrollees to review the documents or use them in any way.

MA organizations with AIPs in States that require these integrated documents upload ANOC and EOC documents into the Health Plan Management System (HPMS) to ensure accuracy and regulatory compliance. Section 422.111(h)(2)(ii) requires that, the ANOC/EOC be available on the website and 422.111(d)(2) requires that the plan send the ANOC to the enrollee in hard copy format, upon request. Section 423.128(d)(2) requires that Part D sponsors post the ANOC and EOC documents on their website and send the ANOC only to enrollees electronically or in hard copy. Form Number: CMS-10824 (OMB control number: 0938-New); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector; Businesses or other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 47; Total Annual Responses: 47; Total Annual Hours: 564. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Julie Jones at 630-337-5863.)

2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN); Use: The use of the written Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (ABN) is to inform Medicare beneficiaries of their liability under specific conditions. This has been available since the “limitation on liability” provisions in section 1879 of the Social Security Act (the Act) were enacted in 1972 (Pub. L. 92-603).

The ABNs are not given every time items and services are delivered. Rather, ABNs are given only when a physician, provider, practitioner, or supplier anticipates that Medicare will not provide payment in specific cases. An ABN may be given, and the beneficiary may subsequently choose not to receive the item or service. An ABN may also be issued because of other applicable statutory requirements other than § 1862(a)(1) such as when a beneficiary wants to obtain an item from a supplier who has not met Medicare supplier number requirements, as listed in section 1834(j)(1) of the Act or when statutory requirements for issuance specific to HHAs are applicable. Form Number: CMS-R-131 (OMB control number: 0938-0566); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Private Sector; Businesses or other for-profits, Not-for-profits institutions; Number of Respondents: 1,701,558; Total Annual Responses: 323,947,630; Total Annual Hours: 37,794,970. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Jennifer McCormick at 410-786-2852.)

3. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medical Necessity and Contract Amendments Under Mental Health Parity; Use: Upon request, regulated entities must provide a medical necessity disclosure. Receiving this information will enable potential and current enrollees to make more educated decisions given the choices available to them through their plans and may result in better treatment of their mental health or substance use disorder (MH/SUD) conditions. States use the information collected and reported as part of its contracting process with managed care entities, as well as its compliance oversight role. In states where a Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO) is responsible for providing the full scope of medical/surgical and MH/SUD services to beneficiaries, the state will review the parity analysis provided by the MCO to confirm that the MCO benefits are in compliance. CMS uses the information collected and reported in an oversight role of State Medicaid managed care programs. Form Number: CMS-10556 (OMB control number: 0938-1280); Frequency: Once and occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals and households, the Private sector, and State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 71,104,769; Total Annual Responses: 426,628; Total Annual Hours: 71,294. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Matthew Rodriguez at 303-844-4724.)

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term “collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for public comment:

1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol; Use: Section 6409 of the ACA requires the Secretary to establish a voluntary self-disclosure process that allows providers of services and suppliers to self-disclose actual or potential violations of section 1877 of the Act.

The SRDP is a voluntary self-disclosure process that allows providers of services and suppliers to disclose actual or potential violations of section 1877 of the Act. For purposes of the SRDP, a person submitting a disclosure to the SRDP will be referred to as a “disclosing party.” CMS analyzes the disclosed conduct to determine compliance with section 1877 of the Act and the application of the exceptions to the physician self-referral prohibition.

Specifically, under the proposal a physician practice disclosing group practice noncompliance will submit an SRDP form consisting of the following components: (1) the SRDP Disclosure Form, (2) a single Group Practice Information Form covering all the physicians in the practice who made prohibited referrals to the practice, and (3) a Financial Analysis Worksheet. All other entities will continue to submit disclosures using the SRDP Disclosure Form, separate Physician Information Forms for each physician covered in the self-disclosure, and a Financial Analysis Worksheet.

Description: The purpose of the SRAE program is to educate youth on how to voluntarily refrain from nonmarital sexual activity and prevent other youth risk behaviors. The requested extension will allow ACF to continue to collect the performance measures from SRAE grantees. Data will continue to be used to determine if the SRAE grantees are meeting performance benchmarks related to their program's mission and priorities. The program office will continue to use the data to provide technical assistance to grantees and for its own reporting purposes.

Respondents: Departmental SRAE (DSRAE), State SRAE (SSRAE), and Competitive SRAE (CSRAE) grantees, their sub recipients, and program participants.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 149,113.

Authority: 42 U.S.C 1310.

Description: OPRE/ACF/HHS proposes to conduct the NWS, a sub-study under the NDS of the SRAENE, to learn about Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) program implementation experiences and outcomes of the SRAE grant program. The NWS builds on the Early Implementation Study, the first sub-study of the NDS, which was designed to tell the story about SRAE grant program plans (OMB Control #0970-0530). The NWS, which responds to Congress's reauthorization in February 2018 of title V, section 510 of the Social Security Act (Pub. L. 115-123), extended by the CARES ACT of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-136), will use a mixed-methods approach of surveys and focus groups to tell the story of the SRAE grant program, collecting detailed information on grantee program implementation experiences from grant recipients, SRAE program providers and facilitators, and youth program recipients. The NWS will also make use of extant data from grant-recipient performance measures on program outputs and outcomes. Combined with data on program implementation, the NWS will examine associations between implementation, outputs, and outcomes. The survey and focus group data are key to fully understanding program implementation experiences from all levels that bring the SRAE programs to youth-from grant administrators to program supervisors to the facilitators who interact directly with the youth themselves.

The study is being undertaken by ACF and its contractor Mathematica. The study research questions driving the need for data collection are as follows:

1. What are grant recipients' and providers' experiences with delivering SRAE curricular content? What are youth's experiences with receiving the SRAE curricular content?

2. How did grant recipients and providers interpret, understand, and address the A to F topics in the SRAE legislation?

3. Are some features of implementation more strongly associated with youth outcomes than others?

4. What provider characteristics are associated with a greater number of youth served and with youth outcomes?

To support these efforts, ACF proposes the following data collection activities: (1) a web-based survey of all grant recipient Directors who are not also providers, (2) a web-based survey of all SRAE program providers, (3) a web-based survey of all SRAE program facilitators, and (4) in-person (or virtual if necessary) focus groups with youth recipients of SRAE programming across five geographic regions of the United States.

Respondents: Respondents to the surveys will be SRAE program grant Directors, SRAE program providers, and SRAE program facilitators. Focus group participants will be youth recipients of SRAE programming. The focus group participants will be recruited from middle and high school across five U.S. Geographic regions: West, Midwest, Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast.

Authority: The Title V Competitive SRAE Program was authorized and funded by section 510 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 710), as amended by section 50502 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-123) and extended by the CARES Act of 2020 (Public Law 116-136).

The ACCV was established by Title XXI of the Public Health Service Act (the Act) and advises the Secretary on issues related to implementation of the VICP. The ACCV meets at least four times each calendar year.

Nominations: HRSA is requesting nominations for voting members to serve as Special Government Employees (SGEs) on the ACCV to fill open positions. The Secretary appoints members with the expertise needed to fulfill the duties of the ACCV. The membership requirements are set forth in section 2119 of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

The ACCV consists of nine voting members appointed by the Secretary as follows: (1) Three health professionals, who are not employees of the U.S. government, and who have expertise in the health care of children, the epidemiology, etiology, and prevention of childhood diseases, and the adverse reactions associated with vaccines, of whom at least two shall be pediatricians; (2) three members from the general public, of whom at least two shall be legal representatives (parents or guardians) of children who have suffered a vaccine-related injury or death; and (3) three attorneys, of whom at least one shall be an attorney whose specialty includes representation of persons who have suffered a vaccine-related injury or death, and of whom one shall be an attorney whose specialty includes representation of vaccine manufacturers. In addition, the Director of the National Institutes of Health, the Assistant Secretary for Health, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (or the designees of such officials) serve as non-voting ex officio members.

HHS will consider nominations of all qualified individuals with a view to ensure that the ACCV includes the areas of subject matter expertise noted above. As indicated above, at least two of the three ACCV members of the general public must be legal representatives (parents or guardians) of children who have suffered a vaccine-related injury or death. Because those members must be the legal representatives of children who have suffered a vaccine-related injury or death, to be considered for appointment to the ACCV in that category, there must have been a finding ( i.e., a decision) by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims or a civil court that a VICP-covered vaccine caused, or was presumed to have caused, the represented child's injury or death. Additionally, based on a recommendation made by the ACCV, the Secretary will consider having a health professional with expertise in obstetrics as one of the members of the general public. Interested applicants may self-nominate or be nominated by another individual or organization.

Individuals selected for appointment to the Committee will be invited to serve for up to 3 years. Members are appointed as SGEs and receive a stipend and reimbursement for per diem and travel expenses incurred for attending ACCV meetings and/or conducting other business on behalf of the ACCV, as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703 for persons employed intermittently in government service.

The following information must be included in the package of materials submitted for each individual nominated for consideration: (1) a letter of nomination stating the name, affiliation, and contact information for the nominee, the basis for the nomination ( i.e., what specific attributes, perspectives, and/or skills does the individual possess that would benefit the workings of the ACCV) and the nominee's field(s) of expertise; (2) the name, address, daytime telephone number, and email address at which the nominator can be contacted; and (3) a current copy of the nominee's curriculum vitae. The individual being nominated or the person/organization recommending the candidate may submit nomination packages directly to HRSA, which will collect and retain nomination packages to create a pool of possible future ACCV voting members. When a vacancy occurs, HRSA and HHS will review nomination packages from the appropriate category and nominees may be contacted at that time.

HHS endeavors to ensure that the membership of the ACCV is fairly balanced in terms of points of view represented and that individuals from a broad representation of geographic areas, gender, and ethnic and minority groups, as well as individuals with disabilities, are considered for membership. Appointments shall be made without discrimination on the basis of race, age, ethnicity, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status.

Individuals who are selected to be considered for appointment will be required to provide detailed information regarding their financial holdings, consultancies, and research grants or contracts. Disclosure of this information is required for HRSA ethics officials to determine whether there is a potential conflict of interest between the SGE's public duties as a member of the ACCV and their private interests, including an appearance of a loss of impartiality as defined by federal laws and regulations, and to identify any required remedial action needed to address the potential conflict.

Authority: Under the authorities that established the ACCV, the Federal Advisory Committee Act of October 6, 1972, (Pub. L. 92-463) and section 2119 of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Pub. L. 99-660, as amended), HRSA is requesting nominations for voting members of the ACCV.

The NIAC is established under section 10 of E.O. 13231 issued on October 16, 2001, continued and amended under the authority of E.O. 14048, dated September 30, 2021. Notice of this meeting is given under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. appendix (Pub. L. 92-463). The NIAC provides the President, through the Secretary of Homeland Security, advice on the security and resilience of the Nation's critical infrastructure sectors.

Agenda: The National Infrastructure Advisory Council will meet in an open session on Monday, September 26, 2022 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss NIAC activities. The open session will include: (1) a period for public comment; (2) a discussion on The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act /Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; and (3) a roundtable discussion on potential study topics and subcommittees.

The council will meet in a closed session from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET during which time senior Government intelligence officials will provide a classified threat briefing concerning threats to the Nation's critical infrastructure and engage NIAC members in follow-on discussions.

Basis for Closure: In accordance with section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), The Government in the Sunshine Act, it has been determined that a portion of the agenda requires closure, as the disclosure of the classified information that will be discussed would not be in the public interest.

The agenda item includes a classified threat briefing and discussion, at which time senior Government intelligence officials will discuss information concerning threats to the Nation's critical Infrastructure with NIAC members. This briefing is anticipated to be classified at the secret level. Public disclosure of these threats, as well as vulnerabilities and mitigations, is a risk to the Nation's infrastructure security posture as adversaries could use this information to do harm. Therefore, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).

This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in section A.

Title of Information Collection: Capital Needs Assessment of Public Housing.

OMB Approval Number: Pending.

Type of Request: New collection.

Form Number: N/A.

Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The Office of Policy Development and Research at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is proposing the collection of information for the Capital Needs Assessment of Public Housing.

Public housing serves the housing needs of low- and very-low-income households, including needy families, the elderly, and the disabled. In the United States, public housing is owned and managed by public housing authorities (PHAs), which are units of state and local government. Public housing is nonetheless heavily subsidized and regulated by HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing through the Operating Fund, Capital Fund, and other means. The capital needs of public housing have a direct bearing on HUD's Capital Fund budget and its support to PHAs for using alternative means of financing to meet those needs.

The number of public housing developments and units in the United States and the number of PHAs that own and manage public housing developments and units have changed over time. According to the most recent HUD data, there are 2,780 PHAs that own and manage 940,330 units in 6,523 public housing developments.

The public housing Capital Fund provides funds for the capital and management activities of PHAs as authorized under section 9 of the Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) (the Act). Capital needs are defined by section 9(d)(1) of the Act, as codified at 24 CFR part 905, with section 200 listing eligible activities. These activities include, among others, the development, financing, and modernization of public housing, vacancy reduction, nonroutine maintenance, and planned code compliance. This work is intended to bring each PHA's projects up to applicable modernization and energy conservation standards.

This Federal Register Notice provides an opportunity to comment on the information collection for the capital needs assessment (CNA) of public housing.

After OMB approval of the Paperwork Reduction Act package, HUD and its contractor will administer a web-based survey to a sample of approximately 300 PHAs to collect data on their CNA estimates, their practices to arrive at those estimates, and their use of those estimates.

After analyzing the data from the first survey of PHAs, HUD and its contractor will administer a second web-based survey of another 500 PHAs. This survey will ask many of the same questions as the first survey.

Both surveys will provide data that, when combined with HUD's other data sources, will be used to estimate the capital needs of public housing following an iterative and duplicable approach.

Both surveys also include questions about the processes that PHAs use to assess their capital needs. Based on responses to those questions, the study will assess PHAs' processes to see how they compare to in-person data collection methods used in previous CNAs and industry best practices.

The purpose of this assessment is to better understand if a non-inspection-based approach can yield reliable and valid results that are comparable to those in the past studies, if not better.

Respondents: PHA officials and staff participating in capital needs assessments.

Estimated Number of Respondents: This information collection will affect approximately 800 respondents. This includes (1) an initial survey of 300 PHAs and (2) a second survey of 500 PHAs.

Estimated Time per Response: Each PHA survey is expected to take 30 minutes.

Frequency of Response: 1 time for all surveys.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 400 hours for all surveys.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 15,212 for all surveys.

Respondent's Obligation: PHA staff members.

Legal Authority: The collection of information is conducted under title 12, United States Code, section 1701z and section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44, U.S.C., 35, as amended.

To arrive at the dollar cost of the estimated response burden, we have used preliminary estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on average hourly earnings in January 2022. For PHA staff, we use the estimate for professional and business services ($38.03).

This notice solicits comments from members of the public and affected parties concerning the collection of information described in Section A on the following:

(1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

OMB Approval Number: 2502-0485.

Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Form Number: SF-424, SF-425, HUD-90006, HUD-90198, HUD-91180-A, 91178-A.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: Completion of the Annual Report by grantees provides HUD with essential information about whom the grant is serving and what sort of services the beneficiaries receive using grant funds.

The Summary Budget and the Annual Program Budget make up the budget of the grantee's annual extension request. Together the forms provide itemized expenses for anticipated program costs and a matrix of budgeted yearly costs. The budget forms show the services funded through the grant and demonstrate how matching funds, participant fees, and grant funds will be used in tandem to operate the grant program. Field staff approve the annual budget and request annual extension funds according to the budget. Field staff can also determine if grantees are meeting statutory and regulatory requirements through the evaluation of this budget.

HUD will use the Payment Voucher to monitor use of grant funds for eligible activities over the term of the grant. The Grantee may similarly use the Payment Voucher to track and record their requests for payment reimbursement for grant-funded activities.
