Food Stamp Program: Eligibility and Certification Provisions of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002
Document Number: 2010-815
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-01-29
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
This final rule implements 11 provisions of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA) that establish new eligibility and certification requirements for the receipt of food stamps. The provisions of the final rule will simplify program administration, allow States greater flexibility, and provide enhanced access to eligible populations. This rule will allow States, at their option, to treat legally obligated child support payments to a non-household member as an income exclusion rather than a deduction; allow a State option to exclude certain types of income and resources that are not counted under the State's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance or Medicaid programs; replace the current, fixed standard deduction with a deduction that varies according to household size and is adjusted annually for cost-of-living increases; allow States to simplify the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) if the State elects to use the SUA rather than actual utility costs for all households; allow States to use a standard deduction from income of $143 per month for homeless households with some shelter expenses; allow States to disregard reported changes in deductions during certification periods (except for changes associated with new residence or earned income) until the next recertification; increase the resource limit for households with a disabled member from $2,000 to $3,000 consistent with the limit for households with an elderly member; allow States to extend simplified reporting of changes to all households; require State agencies that have a Web site to post applications on these sites in the same languages that the State uses for its written applications; allow States to extend from the current 3 months up to 5 months the period of time households may receive transitional food stamp benefits when they cease to receive TANF cash assistance; and restore food stamp eligibility to qualified aliens who are otherwise eligible and who are receiving disability benefits regardless of date of entry, are under 18 years of age regardless of date of entry, or have lived in the United States for 5 years as qualified aliens beginning on the date of entry.

Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements
Document Number: 2010-2010
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-01-29
Agency: Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration
OSHA is proposing to revise its Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting (Recordkeeping) regulation to restore a column to the OSHA 300 Log that employers would use to record work- related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). The 2001 Recordkeeping final regulation included an MSD column, but the requirement was deleted before the regulation became effective. This proposed rule would require employers to place a check mark in the MSD column, instead of the column they currently mark, if a case is an MSD that meets the Recordkeeping regulation's general recording requirements.

Document Number: 2010-1988
Type: Notice
Date: 2010-01-29

This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on November 9, 2009, (Vol. 74, No. 215, p. 57684) and allowed 60-days for public comment. Two public comments were received. The first comment, received November 11, 2009, questioned the purpose and safety of clinical trials conducted outside of the United States. An e-mail response was sent on January 6, 2010, acknowledging the commenter's concern. The response noted that the NCI's Clinical Trials Reporting Program is an information collection activity intended to assist the NCI in management of the NCI's clinical trials portfolio, which is global in nature. The response further stated that while CTRP is not directly related to the conduct of a clinical trial, the NCI hopes to use the information to facilitate routine review of safety, efficacy, and administrative data reported from on-going cancer trials. On January 6, 2010, the same commenter sent a subsequent comment concerning corruption in clinical trials conducted by large pharmaceutical companies. The NCI sent an e-mail response on January 8, 2010, thanking the commenter for her additional comments and noting that they would be taken into consideration.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would supersede an existing AD. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: The revision 00 of the AIRBUS A330 ALS [Airworthiness Limitations Section] Part 3 was issued primarily to introduce two new CMR [Certification Maintenance Requirements] tasks, referenced 282400-G0001-1-C and 282400-P0001-1-C. ALS Part 3 Revision 01 introduces more restrictive requirements for aircraft configurations already in service. The unsafe condition is safety-significant latent failures that would, in combination with one or more other specific failures or events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. The proposed AD would require actions
